Mac Mini 2.66 GHz memory kit

This 8 GB kit contains two 4 GB DDR3 SO-DIMMs rated at 1066 MHz (PC3 8500) with CL7 7-7-7 timing at 1.5 V. It is built as an unbuffered, non-ECC 204-pin module set using major-brand chips. The package delivers two sticks ready for installation in the two available slots.

Upgraders with the matching Mac Mini

The kit is intended for owners of the Apple Mac Mini 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo who want to reach the system's 8 GB maximum across its two sockets. It will not serve machines that need a different memory generation, a different pin layout, ECC or registered modules, or a higher total capacity.

DDR3 1066 MHz CL7 specification

The decisive figure is the DDR3 1066 MHz speed with CL7 latency at 1.5 V on a 204-pin SO-DIMM. If the target Mac Mini requires exactly this speed, timing and voltage combination, the kit fits; otherwise the memory will not be compatible.
