Installation was a breeze and took very little instruction. Of course, if you need steps, you can easily consult the manual that ships with the MacBook Pro.

For the curious, the full stats on the Crucial Memory I ended up using is:

• Module Size: 4GB kit (2GBx2)
• Package: 200-pin SODIMM
• Feature: DDR2 PC2-5300
• Specs: DDR2 PC2-5300, CL=5, Unbuffered, NON-ECC, DDR2-667, 1.8V, 256Meg x 64

I’ve always used Crucial Memory in the past for the custom machines that I have built with great success. It looks like the quality continues with the Mac but time will tell.
