I just recently upgraded the ram in my 2010 15 inch MBP to 8gigs and it uses a
8GB Kit (4GBx2), 204-pin SODIMM, DDR3 PC3-8500 memory module
CT1226751
• Module Size: 8GB Kit (4GBx2)
• Package: 204-pin SODIMM
• Feature: DDR3 PC3-8500
• Specs: DDR3 PC3-8500 • CL=7 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR3-1066 • 1.5V • 512Meg x 64 •
I just ordered a new MPB 15 inch and did a check on the ram upgrade and it gave it listed this:
GB Kit (4GBx2), 204-pin SODIMM, DDR3
CT1895141
• Module Size: 8GB Kit (4GBx2)
• Package: 204-pin SODIMM
• Feature: DDR3 PC3-10600
• Specs: DDR3 PC3-10600 • CL=9 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR3-1333 • 1.5V • 512Meg x 64 •
I do not really want to have to buy new 8gigs of ram, so my question is this will my PC3-8500 ram work in the new 2011 MBP or will I have to order the 10600?
