Would this RAM work in a 2010 MBP?

[dw3bb10]

Looking to upgrade RAM from 4GB to 8GB in a 2010 MBP. The RAM is a DDR3 module, which the laptop supports ofcourse. But, its at 1333mhz speed, as opposed to the max of 1066 that the computer supports. I came across a 8GB ram set for $20 ( DDR3 1333mhz) and I want to make sure it would work for this computer. Also, I know this works in a 2011 MBP, would it work in a 2012 as well? (despite the 1600mhz speed)? Thanks.

It will work in a 2009 MBP a 2010 MBP and a 2011 MBP, I have a 2009 MBP which runs two 4 1333 MHz DDR3 RAM modules, Mac OS X even recognises them as such.
I don't know about using that in a 2012 MBP though, normally it shan't.

Here is the RAM specifically:

I know that DDR3 is supposed to be backwards compatible, but ive been hearing conflicting reports as to if this RAM would work in the 2010 Pro.

Yes it will work, it will just clock it down to 1066.
