Can I use a 1333mhz 2gb RAM in a 1066mhz slot?
Hi Forum,
I've got a 21.5inch Late 2009 with 4gb installed (2x2gb) of 1066mhz RAM. I've had a look at this page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3912 and it indicates that it will only work with a 1066mhz, however I've also read elsewhere that faster RAM will just run at the lower speed.
Does anyone have any thoughts/experience with this? Is it worthwhile adding 2x2gb (1333Mhz ram) to my set-up? (I've got a friend who has surplus and would be getting the extra RAM for free). Is there any risk of damaging my iMac from adding the non-specified RAM?
Cheers,
Steve
