Stupid RAM question.

[MovieCutter]

My brain isn't functioning today so I need a quick question answered. Will a 1066Mhz RAM stick from a Mac Mini function in an original MBP Core Duo with 667Mhz bus? I'm guessing yes. I just ask because I picked up a 15" 2.0Ghz MBP on Craigslist just now for $250 and I'm wanting to use an extra stick I have lying around in it.

The 1066MHz SODIMM is DDR3, which is not backwards compatible with DDR2 (667MHz).

The answer is no. Because the 1066MHz stick is DDR-3 and has 204 pins. The MBP Core Duo accepts DDR-2 sticks that have 200 pins.

Ok, I knew I was missing a piece of the puzzle. Thanks!
