[QUOTE="Doug Lassiter, post: 1798401, member: 189925"] That's helpful. Those links speak directly to my question. So people say yes, it can work. Though at least one says it didn't. A little odd that people in the apple.com discussion are suggesting that 1333MHz memory in your 1066MHz system should make your system run faster ... duh? No question that the bus speed is determined by the computer, and not by the RAM. The RAM just has to be able to handle the bus speed. I think it's also significant that, at the least, the things are plug-compatible. I mean, if it didn't fit, it couldn't work! Now, I did try googling the net, but found nothing. Maybe you're a better googler? I have to add that really, I can't imagine Crucial or OWC telling you you can do this. They want to sell memory! [/QUOTE]
