8GB DDR3 1066MHz SODIMM Kit for MacBook Pro 17"

This 8GB kit contains two 4GB DDR3 SO-DIMM modules rated at 1066MHz (PC3-8500) with CL7 timings. It is built specifically for the Apple MacBook Pro "Core i7" 2.66 17-inch Mid-2010 model (MacBookPro6,1 / A1297). The modules are unbuffered, non-ECC and operate at 1.5V.

204-Pin Installation Matches Factory Slot Layout

The 204-pin SO-DIMM form factor aligns directly with the two memory slots inside the compatible 17-inch MacBook Pro. No heat spreader is fitted, so the modules sit flush under the factory door. The only common issue is seating each stick firmly until the side clips click; a loose module will cause a boot chime with no video.

Ideal for Restoring Mid-2010 17" MacBook Pro to 8GB

This kit suits owners of the exact Mid-2010 17-inch MacBook Pro (A1297) who want the Apple-supported 8GB maximum using two 4GB sticks. Buyers needing 16GB total capacity should look elsewhere, as this kit provides only 8GB. It is not compatible with other MacBook sizes, years or desktop systems.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the memory is running at 1066 MHz after installation?

Open "About This Mac" and click "System Report". Under "Memory", each slot should show 4 GB DDR3 at 1066 MHz with Part Number CM512648500SODRH.

What comes in the box and is anything else needed for the upgrade?

The package contains two 4 GB 204-pin SODIMM modules. No extra parts or tools are required beyond a standard Phillips screwdriver to open the MacBook Pro memory door.

Should I choose this 8 GB kit or look for 16 GB modules for my Mid-2010 17-inch MacBook Pro?

Apple officially supports 8 GB maximum, but this model can address 16 GB using two 8 GB modules. Choose the 8 GB kit for guaranteed Apple-spec operation or 16 GB modules if you need the extra capacity.
