16GB DDR3 SODIMM kit for Mid-2010 MacBook Pro

This kit supplies two 8 GB DDR3 1066 MHz modules built to the PC3-8500 standard. It targets owners of the 13-inch MacBook Pro "Core 2 Duo" 2.66 Mid-2010 who need to reach the machine's 16 GB ceiling. The 204-pin SO-DIMM form factor matches the factory slots exactly.

Capacity and headroom for the 2010 MacBook Pro

The pair delivers the full 16 GB maximum the notebook recognises across its two sockets. CL7 7-7-7 timing at 1.5 V keeps latency low for everyday multitasking and media editing. Unbuffered non-ECC operation is the only mode the platform supports; registered or ECC modules will not function. Headroom ends at the system firmware limit.

Unbuffered 204-pin build with lifetime warranty

Modules use major-brand chips on a standard green PCB without heat spreaders, keeping height low for the tight 13-inch chassis. The 2Rx8 organisation is native to the memory controller. Computer Memory Solutions backs the kit with a limited lifetime warranty when purchased directly. Buyers needing ECC, registered DIMMs or speeds above 1066 MHz should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Will this 16GB kit work in a MacBook Pro 13-inch Mid-2010 that currently has 4GB of memory installed?

Yes, this kit is designed for that exact model and provides the maximum supported 16GB capacity across its two sockets, replacing any existing modules.

How can I confirm the 1066MHz DDR3 modules are running at the correct speed after installation?

Open "About This Mac" then "System Report" and check the Memory section; each slot should show 8GB DDR3 at 1066MHz with a 2Rx8 rank configuration.

Does the package include both 8GB SODIMM sticks or do I need to purchase a second module separately?

The box contains two 8GB 204-pin DDR3 SODIMM sticks for a total of 16GB; no additional modules are required to reach the system's maximum capacity.
