Your Apple MacBook Pro uses PC2-5300 type memory.
Your Apple MacBook Pro can support up to 4GB of memory. For optimal performance install the maximum amount of memory in each socket.
Your system comes standard with 2GB (1GBx2) of RAM. If you have upgraded your system then you may have a different amount.
A memory kit is comprised of 2 memory modules. For example, a 1GB memory kit has two 512MB memory modules. This is abbreviated as (2x512MB).
Yes. Your Apple MacBook Pro requires memory to be installed as a kit because it requires memory to be installed in pairs within a bank. To make it easier for you to install memory that will be compatible, the memory modules available for purchase above are sold in kits.
A bank is a group of memory sockets. A socket is where a memory module is inserted. A bank can have one or more sockets.
One or more of the sockets in your system is already filled with memory. When you upgrade your system, you can either add memory to one of the open sockets and/or remove memory from a filled socket and replace it with a higher capacity memory module.
Your Apple MacBook Pro 17-inch 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo (MA897LL/A Mid 2007) has 2 banks of 1 socket each for a total of 2 memory sockets.
*We recommend you upgrade your computer to the latest BIOS revision prior to upgrading your memory.
Install in pairs for maximum performance.

I upgraded from 2 gb to 4 gb, and immediately show 200 to 300% increase in speed. Memory worked fine, except the video on their for memory upgrade instructions was for Windows computers. I had to go to another video from macsales.com to get the video for Macs.

My local dealer quoted me $250 to upgrade my iMac from 1GB to 4GB and my order from you came promptly and landed here quickly for less than $90 with brokerage and tax. It was simple to install and brought my computer up to speed like a new machine. I will remember this next time. Thanks. T. Melville

This product was exactly as advertised. I have purchased Edge memory before, so I knew to come back here for what I needed this time. I have tried other sites, but the Memory Finder on the Edge site is by far the easiest to use. I'm not a techie, so this made it foolproof for me. The Memory Finder was easy to use and I was quickly able to pinpoint the module that I needed. I was able to install the memory on the same day of delivery. Easy! You can't beat the price and value, plus I received free shipping. Now my laptop is speedier!

It did not work. my computer only could take one chip and I had to keep an old chip leaving it with 3 gb. I was supposed to receive a replacement , but it never came.
Memory or RAM is a piece of hardware in your computer that holds software applications that you are working on. It serves as temporary working space between your computer’s hard drive and CPU.
Adding memory will improve your computer’s performance. Specifically, it will speed up opening new applications, running multiple applications at once, and switching between software applications (multi-tasking).
One task that additional memory speeds up is opening a new software application. Let’s take this as an example. When you open a new application on your computer, your computer’s CPU fetches the application from the hard drive and stores it in RAM memory. It stores it in RAM because RAM is very fast relative to the hard drive. When RAM gets full, and you open a new application then the CPU needs to kick out one of your open applications, put it back on the slow hard drive, fetch the new application from the hard drive, and place the new application in RAM. Basically, it swaps the applications.
This game of swapping wastes time. Ideally, your computer could have an infinite amount of RAM. Then your CPU would fetch an application once from the hard drive, save it into RAM, and never need to kick out another application. There is no such thing as infinite RAM, but you can max out the RAM on your computer by adding the maximum amount of memory to each socket.
To max out your RAM memory, add the maximum amount of memory to each memory socket. To find out how much RAM each socket can support, divide the system maximum RAM amount by the total number of sockets in your system.
For example, if your system maximum RAM is 2GB, and your system has 2 total sockets then the maximum amount each socket can support is 1GB. If one of the sockets is already filled then you can always remove the existing module and replace it with a higher capacity module.
No. The 1975 Magnusson-Moss Act prevents OEM manufacturers from disqualifying a warranty when 3rd party memory is used. For more details, please see the Magnuson-Moss Act.
Memory speed refers to the amount of time that memory (RAM) takes to put data into its memory or send it out. Your device’s memory will have an upper limit on the speed at which it can operate.
A memory kit is a number of memory modules sold as a unit or a kit. For example, a 1GB memory kit will contain two 512MB modules. This is written as (2x512MB).
