can anyone please tell me if i can replace my 2x2 ddr3 1333 mhz ram with 2x4 ddr3 1600 mhz on my mac book pro early 2011
It may not work at all. Purchase memory from Apple, or one of the above two vendors. Macs are intolerant of memory that does not meet Apple's stringent specifications.
John is absolutely right on all counts. In any event, it's sure not going to run at the faster speed.
Different versions of MBP use different versions of memory.
Just because it works in one model of MBP that says nothing about if it will work in another MBP.

The problem to me is it may work sometimes. Meaning it may panic sometimes too. I just don't see the benefit unless it's free.
Oh, I agree. He won't destroy his MBP and I'm all for experimenting. Like I said, it's worth it if it's free.
Anyway... good collaboration on this thread. It was fun.
🙂 🙂 🙂
Ciao.
If it is down clocking then why do both real world benchmark tests and classic benchmark tests result in faster speeds?
