What type of RAM memory is this (PIC)

[hadi27]

I was removing my ram out of my macbook and I was trying to figure out what make and model this is.

I can't come up with what exactly this item is. I have two of these installed in my macbook equally 4gb total.

A picture is attached.


Thanks guys


edit: Keep reading. have another question

It's Micron RAM. Simply Google the part number (mt16htf25664hy). Not to mention, the big M with a circle around is a dead giveaway.

My macbook right now has the 667 ddr2 2gb memory. There are two of these totalling 4gb in total

If i get the new macbook which has the 1066 ddr3 memory with two 1gb's, will I be able to get my old 667 ddr2 memory sticks to fit and work in there? will it be stable?

can i later upgrade lets say one of the sticks and have one 667 ddr2 2gb stick and another 4gb 1066 ddr3 stick working together to make 6gb?! will that be stable?

No, they are incompatible. Crucial sells a 4GB set for $114.

 

[old-wiz]

ddr2 and ddr3 have a different number of pins; not going to work

MAnnnnnnn are you serious! ahhh so i cant even have two of 667 memory sticks? Ok forget have one of each but what if i put my memory sticks in the new macbook.

The macbook I plan on putting these in is the new macbook that came out with the rounded unibody shell and LED screen and 7 hour battery life.



Mine also has the Penryn chipset and is this one to be exact.

I believe you are correct as mine has a min. bus speed of 667 but the new one has 1067! man thats not fair now i have to get more!

Those 667s will not work in that machine, the pins are different.

You can try and force them in... You'll break something though.

And it won't be covered by warranty.

 

[hadi27]

true it will break but as far "covered by warranty" goes ill try to talk my way out of it but lets not go there lol



I removed 2gb worth of memory earlier today and im noticing when i shut down and restart now, it takes forever to do so. It just sits there shutting down or restarting but not actually doing so....

Is this due to me removing memory? Will it be fixed by putting the memory back in? Can it be fixed by resetting the PMU (SMC since i have an intel based macbook)?


Thanks

Well, have you done anything else to the machine that would cause it to slow down? Probably not, so yes it most likely is cause by only having one stick of RAM (and 2gb vs 4gb) of RAM.

 

[hadi27]

I put the other 2gb back in and now its back to 4gb but it is still taking forever to shut down and restart.

Any suggestions? reason i ask is I am trying to sell this today....Should i reset the SMC?

If i reinstall the OS X will that help?
