macbook pro mid 2010 ram update 6 gb ram

Look at the chip size: The bigger chipped and the ones with more chips are the older (compared to the same sized module). I've found the really older modules don't play nice with the newest generation of modules. You can encounter stability issues when you stress the system. Both modules really need to be the same clock spec. Older slower modules are getting hard to find so you'll likely will only find the newer faster modules. Can't use a module who's clock is less than what the system is spec'ed to. Ok - who has experience on this or even running a system with unequal DDR3 chips at different frequency. I asked OMC already and they said that the 2GB(1066) + 8GB(1066) setup will run. The best would be to get one 8GB chip from OMC - unfortunately I didn't know about this before.

The Apple homepage tells me that a MAcBook Pro 7.1 can handle up to 16GB. Soooo - The question ist now if I could use 2GB(1066) + 8GB(1600) or 8GB(1333)īecause it will be much easier to exchange the two 4GB with one 8GB with our dealer - then finding two 4GB(1066). Here it's almost impossible to get chips with 1066MHz (tried Mercado Libre - like the Amazon of South America) 1333MHz is possible - but no 1066Mhz available. The problem is - I am in Peru and it's a friends computer.

The startup take some more time - but this could be something else as well. I was working a little with the computer and everything seems to be fine. The system starts and gives me 6GB at 1066Mhz. So I just entered one 2GB(1066MHz) + one 4GB(1600MHz). I soon found out, that the frequency is the problem. So I installed the two chips and nothing happened after I press the start button. The dealer told me that it will work with any MACBook. I bought two Kingston KVR16LS11/4 - with 1600MHz. I got the latest El Capitan running and even with just 2x2GB it's running actually very good. I wanted to upgrade my MAC Book (mid 2010 - 7.1) with 2x4 GB Ram chips from Kingston.
