[QUOTE="AaronInKtown, post: 1209166, member: 195948"] I just upgraded the RAM on my Mid 2010 Macbook Pro from 4gb to 8gb. I was going to give the 4gb to a friend who had an older Macbook. It used DDR2 so that out of the gates wasn't going to work. My question is can any other Mac/PC use this RAM or is it completely specific to my computer? I noticed just punching in different Macbook Pros on Crucial the "DDR3 PC3" would be the same, but the numbers after differentiated. I hate to have the memory just sit around if someone else could use it. [/QUOTE]
