Need some help with RAM.

[jdaniel]

So my local store here in Asia sells these 4gb ram modules for something like $48 USD each but the part numbers are as follows:
KVR1333D3S9/4G FOR PC1333 this would be for the 2011 mbp 13"
KVR1066D3S7/4G FOR PC1066 and this for mid 2010

http://www.ec.kingston.com/ecom/con...ww.kingston.com/asia&ktcpartno=KVR1066D3S7/4G

The link is what I got for searching the 1066 version... now if I search by model of my mac I get a different part number and also doesnt list all the details
KTA-MB1066/4G and KTA-MB1333/4G.

Is there a difference? I was told that the above ones are valuram and the KTA ones r specific to the system.. now my question is since they dont list the tech specs for the KTA ones online how can I compare? If I go by a 3rd party website http://www.ramcity.com.au/product/KIN1-AMKPRO-4G-07.htm it reads exactly the same.

I prefer to buy local if possible then I would not have to deal with shipping etc.

Apple Tech Specs for the 2010 MBP 13"

Processor and memory
2.4GHz or 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 3MB on-chip shared L2 cache
1066MHz frontside bus
4GB (two 2GB SO-DIMMs) of 1066MHz DDR3 memory; two SO-DIMM slots support up to 8GB

PC1066 is the appropriate speed for your notebook's supported memory handling capability. The PC1333 may or may not down-clock to match the appropriate speed of your notebook.

oh no I was thinking of using the pc13333 for the 2010, thats for the 2011.

What I am concerned about is discrepancy in model numbers for something that seems to be the same. Except one they say is for the mac and one they dont say.. but upon closer inspection of 3rd party sites they seem to be the same.. I just need some clarification from someone who is familiar with such things.

I bought a local brand strontium when installed it says 1067, so I dont know if I got the right stuff? anyone with stock ram can take a look for me n tell me if ECC is enabled or disabled and does it say 1066 n ur system?

 

[jdaniel]

no one?

1067, I dont see anything about ECC, but I know mine doesn't support it.

so all in all you see what I see except for the ram size eh? THANKS for the help. I just wanted to make sure although it does say 1066 on the box and in apples specs so I was a bit thrown off by the 1067

i missed where it said ecc, it's disabled.
