MacBook Pro 13" Mid-2010 memory kit

This 8GB kit contains two 4GB DDR3 SO-DIMM modules built for the Apple MacBook Pro 13" Mid-2010 with the 2.66 GHz Core 2 Duo processor. It is intended for owners of that specific notebook who need to reach the factory memory ceiling. The modules are unbuffered, non-ECC and run at 1.5V.

DDR3 1066 speed ceiling

The MacBook Pro 13" Mid-2010 memory controller tops out at DDR3 1066 (PC3-8500), so faster DDR3 modules will down-clock to this rate. The kit matches the native 1066 MHz specification with CL7 7-7-7 timings and 204-pin form factor. Buyers expecting higher bandwidth from faster-rated sticks will not see it on this platform.

Two-slot 8GB maximum

This notebook provides only two SO-DIMM sockets and the firmware caps total memory at 8GB, so the 2 x 4GB configuration fills every slot and reaches the hard limit. Builders who want more than 8GB cannot do so with this machine.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 8GB kit or look for a larger capacity for my MacBook Pro 13" Mid-2010?

The Mid-2010 13" model tops out at 8GB across its two slots, so this 2x4GB kit fills the machine to its maximum supported memory.

What does the 1066MHz speed mean once the modules are installed in the MacBook Pro?

The system memory controller runs at 1066MHz, so these DDR3-1066 CL7 modules operate at their rated frequency without down-clocking.

Will the 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM interface work with the MacBook Pro 13" Mid-2010 memory slots?

Yes, the 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM form factor matches the two slots in the Mid-2010 13" MacBook Pro exactly.
