Was looking at an older, used Macbook which uses PC5300 DDR2 667MHz 200 Pin ram. It only has 1gb ram, but I have some ram from my older iMac which is PC6400 DDR2 800MHz 200 Pin. Could I put this ram in the Macbook? I realize at best it would run 667MHz but all Im concerned about is will it work in there. Thanks.
Got a tip for us?

The macbook has two slots, as long as there is one that is a PC2-5300 then the PC2-6400 will work. If both are PC2-6400, it will not.
If your macbook is early 2008 it can use as much as 6GB. Check OWC.
