Can I use 1600MHz RAM on a 1333MHz MacBook Pro?
In an interesting development, it seems that although Apple sold and marketed the 2011 MacBook Pros as using 1333MHz memory, they are, in fact, capable of utilizing 1600MHz memory, just like the current crop of MacBook Pros.
Is 1600MHz better than 1333MHz?
The performance difference is less than 3% in most real-world games and applications; only the most memory-intensive workloads, memory-specific benchmarks and gaming on IGP show significant differences. As Jack said, the prices are usually practically the same, so might as well go with 1600.
Can I use my 1333MHz RAM in 1600MHz slot?
Yes it will run just fine. The slot can handle 1600mhz stock, and more with OC.
What is the difference between 1333 and 1600 RAM?
1600 is 1600 MHz, and 1333 is 1333 MHz. So the 1600MHz memory would (or should) be faster.
What RAM is compatible with 2011 MacBook Pro?
If running a version of Mac OS X 10.6 “Snow Leopard,” these models only can use 8 GB of RAM. The “Early 2011” and “Late 2011” MacBook Pro models use faster 1333 MHz PC3-10600 DDR3 SO-DIMMs.
Is 1333 RAM speed good?
Distinguished. Yes it definitely is. Recent benchmarks show that there is little difference, like 5% between 1333Mhz or super high-end 2133Mhz modules. So it’s kind of a waste to overspend on expensive RAM.
Can DDR3 1333 Replace 1600?
RAM does not run at the speed it is sold at, it is sold at the maximum speed it is guaranteed to work at. 1600mhz RAM will work at 1600mhz, or any speed less than that. RAM speed is set by your motherboard and processor combination. In short, yes 1600mhz ram will work at 1333mhz just fine.
Is it OK to use higher frequency RAM?
Can my computer use the faster RAM or would it cause problems? Rick’s answer: Eric, the short answer to your questions is yes. Your computer will work just fine if you install the faster RAM. It will simply run at the slower 1333Mhz speed.
Can you put DDR3 1333 instead of 1066?
No, the correct answer is that it does not matter. You can mix RAM of both speeds (1066/1333). The system will automatically use the slower speed, but there is no risk of system crashes. And no, 1333MHz RAM will not be recognized in a 2009 iMac, but 1066MHz in the 2010 is just fine.
Can I use 1066 and 1600 RAM together?
Can you put 1600 Mhz RAM in 1066/800 Mhz RAM Slot – NO It Might not work! If you are upgrading an old PC that has DDR3 1066/800 Mhz RAM slots on its motherboard and planning to upgrade, then you might not be able to find new RAM modules with that frequency.
How much RAM can you put in a 2010 MacBook Pro?
Any mid-2010 MacBook Pro i5 or i7 is limited to a maximum of 8GB RAM. If you have a 2010 MacBook Pro Core2Duo (13″), then you are in luck and you can upgrade to 16GB RAM. The type of RAM needed is DDR3 PC3-8500 1066.
How much RAM can a MacBook Pro mid 2010 hold?
8 GB
The “Mid-2009” and “Mid-2010” MacBook Pro models support 1066 MHz PC3-8500 DDR3 SO-DIMMs and officially and unofficially support a maximum of 8 GB of RAM with one odd exception.
