Hi! Just bought 8GB RAM from Ebay (2x 4GB, 1333MHz) for my mid-2010 MBP
Took out the old memory and installed the new sticks. System profiler is telling me however that my 8GB is only running at 800MHz! (both slots at this speed)
-I had 4GB@1066MHz before and I now believe that to be the max speed for this MBP?
-Is it only recognizing 800MHz because I have exceeded that maximum?
-Is it really running at 800MHz or what? Or maybe at 1066, but just indicating 800MHz for
some reason?
Or could the problem simply be that the sticks were identified incorrectly? They have stickers on that say 1333MHz and I bought from a pretty major seller on Ebay.
Thanks in advance for any ideas
