iBook Memory Question

Don't quote me for sure, but isn't the ibook ram DDR not DDR2 ram? your mac mini is intel right? which means it uses 667mhz ddr2 ram, the ibook from my memory since i own the same ibook uses 333mhz DDR. I know for sure that its DDR memory at least. I dont' know if DDR2 is just called that cause its faster than DDR, or if there is an actual size or something difference. The other problem is that I think the mac mini ram is desktop ram and a notebook takes ram with a different pin count and or a different size. So my answer would be no, it won't work with all those differences ...sorry

 

I don't think so. The RAM has to be in the same "family". The latest iBooks used PC2700 (333MHz) DDR SDRAM. And DDR RAM faster than 333MHz should do fine, but the Intel Mac mini uses DDR2 SDRAM, and that doesn't work in a DDR slot.

DDR2 is a new RAM architecture and it's generally slower than DDR at the same effective clock frequency, but it makes up for it by going to higher clock frequencies.
