1066 or 1067 Mhz RAM?

Just noticed that the RAM speed in my MBP specs is 1066MHz but the System Profiler shows 1067MHz.
Could this diference to trigger some problems?

Actually, I was looking for info about max RAM for this computer, it's really hard to find out those numbers..., all the different models; I would need more than the 4Gig but it seems that this is the max.

Late 2008 MBP 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Mac OS X (10.5.8), 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 RAM

Hi hegedü,

The late 2008 2.8 will actually happily run with 6 Gig of RAM though the "official" Apple maximum is 4G. See http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/AppleMacBook_MacBookPro/Upgrade/DDR3 and Everymac .

1066 / 1067MHz RAM is really 1066.66(repeating)MHZ (ie1066 2/3MHz)
RAM . Some people just drop the decimals when describing it. Others round it up.

Cheers

Rod
