2 GB DDR3 1066 MHz SO-DIMM for Mac Mini

This 2 GB DDR3 SO-DIMM runs at 1066 MHz with CL7 timing and 1.5 V. It is built specifically for the Apple Mac Mini 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (MC408LL/A) using a 204-pin unbuffered, non-ECC design.

Capacity and headroom

The single 2 GB module fills one slot and matches the system's DDR3-8500 specification. Dual-channel operation requires a second identical stick, and the platform maximum is 2 GB total, so this kit alone cannot exceed that ceiling.

What the bundle changes

The package contains one memory stick backed by a limited lifetime warranty from Computer Memory Solutions. No heat spreader is included, and the major-brand chipset ensures validated compatibility with the listed Mac Mini model.

Questions about this item

Will this 204-pin DDR3 1066MHz module run in the second slot of my Mac Mini 2.53GHz Core 2 Duo alongside the original stick?

The module is specified for the Mac Mini MC408LL/A which has two slots; install one stick per slot to reach the 2 GB maximum and enable dual-channel operation.

How can I verify the CL7 7-7-7 timings are active after installing the SODIMM?

Open System Profiler on macOS and check the Memory section; it will show 1066 MHz, PC3-8500 and the 7-7-7 CAS latency for each installed module.

Does the single 2 GB stick ship with any brackets, screws or tools for the Mac Mini?

The package contains only the 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM itself; no brackets, screws or installation tools are included.
