MacBook Pro DDR3 SODIMM kit

This 8 GB DDR3 kit contains two 4 GB modules built to the PC3-12800 standard at 1600 MHz. The 204-pin SODIMM form factor fits compatible Apple notebooks and desktops that accept DDR3 memory. It is aimed at owners of older MacBook Pro, iMac, MacBook or Mac Mini systems who want a straightforward capacity increase.

8 GB dual-channel capacity

The paired modules provide 8 GB of total memory running in dual-channel mode where the platform supports it. Everyday multitasking, web browsing and office applications run comfortably within this limit. Workloads that demand more than 8 GB — such as heavy video editing, virtual machines or large creative projects — will exceed the available headroom.

Replaces factory 4 GB or 6 GB configurations

This kit upgrades machines that shipped with 4 GB or 6 GB of DDR3 memory and have two free or replaceable SODIMM slots. The jump is worthwhile when the system feels sluggish under normal multitasking and the logic board accepts 1600 MHz modules. It does not suit models that are limited to lower speeds, require different pin counts or are already at their maximum supported capacity.

Questions about this item

Will the 204-Pin DDR3 1600 modules work alongside the original memory already in my MacBook Pro?

These modules run at DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800). If your existing memory matches that speed and voltage, they will operate together at the lowest common speed.

How can I confirm the 8GB kit is recognised correctly after installation?

Open About This Mac and check that the total memory now shows the expected 8GB and that the speed reads 1600 MHz.

Does the package include only the two 4GB SODIMMs or are tools and guides supplied as well?

The kit contains two 4GB 204-Pin DDR3 1600 SODIMM modules. No installation tools or printed guides are included.
