Hi everybody.
I've a MacBook with 2 gig of ram and now I want to upgrade them to 4 gig.
so I should replace each of them and take the new one.
the original ram currently is installed has 1066 FSB.
can I replace them with new one that has 1333 Mhz FSB?
is there any problem?
tank you very very much.

I would recommend sticking with memory modules that are specifically designed for your machine. Even if modules that are rated for a higher bus speed work, there is no benefit from using them as the machine will only use the bus speed it is designed for (i.e. it will scale down).
