1333MHz DDR3 PC3-10600 -- Maximum 16GB supported

Mac is finicky about RAM— I would stick with the exact specs.

When you're purchasing memory, it's also best to verify that its speed matches that of your logicboard; otherwise, performance bottlenecks may result. At least this information is easy to determine from the memory's specs: If you have a logicboard that supports the DDR3 1333 standard (the "1333" references the memory's transfer rate, in MTps, not the actual speed of the memory, as is commonly assumed), you'll be fine as long as the memory uses that same designation. If the memory is slower (meaning, it has a lower DDR3 number) you won't be accessing your computer's full potential; if it's higher, you risk the processor not being able to keep up with it.

This was the spec I was looking at. SO similar, but more pins.

OWC 16.0GB (2x 8GB) DDR3 ECC PC3-10600 1333MHz... at MacSales.com

Funny that link says PC3 but the site says PC.

Thanks all - bought the 204-pin.
