hello all,
have been using 3 years macbook pro (mbp) 2009 core 2 duo 2.66, coding. last summer, did improvements on it: 8 gb ddr1066 ram, sdd in optibay.
have bought refurbished mac mini (mid 2011, 2.5 ghz , 4 gb ddr1333 ram) plan use main computer, mbp mountain lion sidekick. want transfer ssd + 8 gb ram mbp mac mini , 4 gb ram mac mini mbp.
not particularly worried ssd: have check ifixit , excellent thread in forum, , waiting sata cable. however, have 2 questions ram:
- understand can put ddr1066 ram in mac mini, lower performance compare ddr1333 ram noticeable? best setup: 4 gb ddr1333 or 8 gb ddr1066?
- can put ddr1333 ram in 2009 mbp?
thanks,
paul
you're asking trouble putting wrong speed memory in computers.
in experience, can away putting ram that's faster machine requires, i.e. putting ddr1333 in mbp. won't run @ full speed, there's possibility won't work @ all.
putting ddr1066 ram in machine made ddr1333 won't work @ all. if work, ram going overstressed , give out sooner normal.
there's reason ram sold in different speeds , configurations. they're not supposed interchangeable. recommendation if need more ram mini, buy correct type , upgrade instead of switching modules older computer. 8gb kit mini can had $40.
