Apple-Validated DDR3 SO-DIMM Kit

This 16 GB kit contains two 8 GB DDR3 1600 SO-DIMM modules built to the PC3-12800 standard. Mushkin Enhanced designs and tests the iRam series in the United States, targeting Apple notebook owners who want a straightforward memory upgrade without compatibility guesswork.

Suits MacBooks needing 16 GB at 1.5 V

The kit fits Apple notebooks that accept 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMMs running at 1600 MT/s with CAS latency 11 and 1.5 V operation. It is not for systems that require a different pin count, a lower operating voltage, or a memory generation other than DDR3.

204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM form factor

The modules use the 204-pin SO-DIMM edge connector defined for DDR3 laptop memory. If the target machine uses a different slot keying or a newer DDR generation, the sticks will not seat and the upgrade will not work.
