Why not install RAM with the correct specifications? Higher speed RAM will NOT run any faster that what the specifications call for and you run the risk of incompatibility. The correct RAM specifications for a 2010 MBP are: 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM and it will accept up to 8 GB RAM.
OWC and Crucial are best sources for Mac compatible RAM.
Ciao.
Sometime it work OK and sometimes it does not.
If you already have the faster memory I would try it. I would not purchase the faster memory and hope for the best.
Macs are picky about memory. Only purchase memory from a place the specifically says it will work or money back
i already installed the 1 new 4GB DDR3 1600MHz ram.. i use MBP for 2 hrs and didn't face any problem.. should i try 2 4GB DDR3 1600MHz ram ?? or i use ( One 4GB DDR3 1600MHz + One 2GB DDR3 1066MHz ) = 6GB ram ??i m confused actually..
Typically mixing different speed RAM is not reliable.
If you have the RAM and have a good backup why not try.
