iMac RAM in a MBP?

[brianp]

I currently have an alu iMac, and have upgraded it to 4gb RAM from crucial. I'm getting a macbook pro, as I need a more portable computer and I will be selling the iMac. Can I use the RAM that I purchased for my iMac in my macbook pro?

Thanks for your help.

Select your iMac and Macbook Pro models from the Crucial site and see if the RAM matches.

Don't believe so, the pin setup is different in a desktop.

try it. it won't void your warranty. I think they both use the same RAM because the iMac uses laptop components???

If that's the case, then it's possible

It's perfectly safe to use the RAM, it is the same exact type of RAM and it will not void your warranty.

You can use your RAM from your iMac. Both the MacBook, MacBook Pro, iMac, and Mac Mini use the same RAM...DDR2 667MHz (PC2-5300).
