Compatible Mac Mini upgrade

This 2 GB DDR3 1066 MHz SO-DIMM is built for the Apple Mac Mini "Core 2 Duo" 2.0 (Early 2009) and uses a 204-pin unbuffered layout. It runs at 1.5 V with CL7 7-7-7 timing and carries a major-brand chipset for reliable operation in that specific system.

Who this suits and who it does not

Owners of the Early 2009 Mac Mini (model identifiers Macmini3,1, A1283, MB463LL/A or MB464LL/A) can use this module to match the factory memory specification. Machines that require ECC registered memory, a different pin count, or a later DDR generation cannot accept this stick.

Deciding specification

The module is a single 2 GB DDR3 1066 (PC3-8500) 204-pin SO-DIMM with 2Rx8 organisation, non-ECC and unbuffered; only systems that list this exact speed, voltage and form factor will recognise it.

Questions about this item

Is this 2 GB module the only capacity option for my Mac Mini?

This listing provides a single 2 GB stick; the Mac Mini Early 2009 shipped with 1 GB or 2 GB and officially supports up to 4 GB, though 8 GB is possible after EFI Firmware Update 1.2.

What does PC3-8500 1066 MHz mean for actual performance in the Mac Mini?

The module runs at 1066 MHz with CL7 7-7-7 timings at 1.5 V, matching the memory controller speed of the Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz system for stable operation.

Will the 204-pin SO-DIMM fit the memory slot in my Mac Mini?

Yes, the 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM form factor is the correct physical and electrical interface for the Mac Mini Early 2009 memory slot.
