[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 404520, member: 24160"] A faster clock speed rating of the RAM sticks will not matter, they will all run at speeds slower than their rating. Everything else must be compatible. Don't know that you will find any DDR memory faster than PC2700 though. According to my memory (I am getting senile, so could be wrong), the top speed memory for DDR is PC3200. This was also the starting point for DDR2. If you found some Kingston DDR at 667, would strongly suggest you verify this at Kingston's site, not at the distributors site. Still don't know that I would stick that RAM in your notebook since you'll definitely not be doing any overclocking on your Mac. edit: Yep, just checked Kington's site, they have no DDR sticks listed above PC3200.
