8GB DDR3 1066MHz SODIMM for 2009-2010 Macs

This A-Tech module delivers 8GB of DDR3 1066MHz PC3-8500 memory in a 204-pin SODIMM form factor. It operates at 1.50V as an unbuffered non-ECC 2Rx8 stick. The module is built with major-brand chips and carries Apple Mac certification for the listed systems.

Suits owners of specific 2009-2010 Apple models

It fits MacBook Pro 13-inch Mid 2010, MacBook 13-inch Mid 2010, iMac 27-inch Late 2009 and Mac mini Mid 2010. Buyers with earlier or later Macs that use different memory generations or form factors cannot use this module. Systems requiring registered or ECC memory should look elsewhere.

Single 8GB module at DDR3 1066MHz

The kit contains one 8GB stick rated at DDR3 1066/1067 MHz PC3-8500. This capacity and speed combination is the deciding specification for the supported MacBook Pro, MacBook, iMac and Mac mini models identified by Apple order numbers and model IDs.

Questions about this item

Will the 2Rx8 DDR3 1066MHz modules need any firmware updates or periodic re-seating after installation?

No firmware updates or scheduled re-seating are required; the 2Rx8 DDR3 1066MHz SODIMM is a passive component that operates without software maintenance once correctly seated in the 204-pin slot.

What electrical limit is reached first when the 1.50V DDR3 1066MHz memory runs continuously at full load?

The 1.50V supply rail defines the voltage ceiling; sustained operation stays within the JEDEC DDR3 1066 specification, so the voltage limit is encountered before any thermal or timing boundary.

How much heat and fan noise does the 8GB DDR3 1066MHz SODIMM add when the MacBook Pro runs all day?

The module has no heat spreader and draws standard DDR3 1.50V power, so it contributes minimal extra heat; system fan behaviour remains governed by the MacBook Pro’s own thermal curves.
