2GB DDR3 1066MHz SODIMM for Mac

This 2GB DDR3 1066MHz SODIMM module is built for specific Apple MacBook Pro, MacBook, iMac and Mac mini models released between 2008 and 2010. It uses a 204-pin unbuffered non-ECC design operating at 1.50V. The upgrade targets owners of those legacy Macs who need to add memory capacity for everyday multitasking.

Replaces factory 1GB or 2GB modules

Many of the listed systems shipped with 1GB or 2GB of memory as standard. Adding this module increases total capacity, which helps when running several applications or browser tabs at once. The jump is worth it if your current Mac shows frequent memory pressure or beach-ball pauses during typical workloads.

Limited by DDR3 1066MHz bus speed

The DDR3 1066MHz interface caps memory bandwidth regardless of how many modules you install. Systems that only support this speed cannot benefit from faster DDR3 modules, and the chipset maximums restrict total usable memory. Buyers needing higher bandwidth or larger total capacity must move to a newer platform.

Questions about this item

Does the 204-pin SODIMM fit the memory slot on a 2009 iMac or 2010 MacBook Pro?

Yes, the module uses the standard 204-pin SO-DIMM form factor required by the listed iMac, MacBook, MacBook Pro and Mac mini models from 2008 to 2010.

What is the correct way to seat the module so the Mac recognises the full 2 GB?

Insert the SODIMM at an angle until the gold contacts are fully hidden, then press down firmly until both side clips click into the notches on the module.

When should the memory be replaced in a Late 2009 iMac or Mid 2010 MacBook Pro?

Replace it if the Mac fails the memory test at startup, shows repeated kernel panics, or if you upgrade to a system that needs higher capacity.
