I found a 8gb stick of ram (pictured below) on an old computer. I want to use it as an ram upgrade for my MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012) 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5. Is it compatible? My Macbook Pro currently has a 2*4 ram configuration. Can I swap a 2 gb stick with this 8 gb stick and have an 2+8 config, or should I just go with 1 8gb stick?
MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)
Your model requires the following:
| Maximum Memory | 16 GB (Actual) 8 GB (Apple) |
|---|---|
| Memory Slots | 2 - 204-pin PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM |
Kappy has given you the correct RAM specifications for your MBP, which you have not revealed for the 8GB RAM module.
Based on the pictures that you have supplied, I sense that the pin configurations are not the same. If I am correct, trying to install that module may damage the RAM bay.
Ciao.
