Macbook 2.4 2GB Ram swap into Macbook 2.1 1GB Ram? Will it work?

[joshigh]

I just upgraded my 2GB ram to 4GB with Crucial sticks. I want to give my old 1GB(x2) sticks to my friend with another Macbook. He has a Macbook with 1GB installed from the factory, two 512 sticks.

I can't see that there would be a problem, I just wanted a second opinion from those who are sure or who have done it. I know he doesn't have Leopard, if that matters.

Thanks in advance...

Are they the same generation, e.g. both Whitebooks from Late 2007?

RAM for the aluminum macbook is NOT interchangeable with RAM from the plastic macbooks.

Sorry, I should have clarified. They are both white Macbooks, however his seems a little older than mine, but they look identical.

then it will work. all the plastic macbooks take the same memory.

yes it should work, but you can both go to
www.crucial.com

and press "scan my system" on the left and then compare the results to see if you have the same type of RAM

also does the ram not have a sticker on it saying what it is? 'DDR PC XXXX' etc?
