Would this RAM work?

[Macinstall11]

I have 4x8 RAM from my old iMac 27" Mid-2011 (click)

Would that RAM be compatible with the MacBook Pro 13" Late 2011?

 

[keysofanxiety]

Yep.

 

[Macinstall11]

Yep.

Are you sure?

I'm mainly asking because the iMac says SO-DIMM and the MacBook Pro says SDRAM, still compatible?

SO-DIMM is the physical size of the memory block, basically laptop size (tiny) rather than desktop size (huge). Both machines take SODIMM.

SDRAM just means it's RAM basically. Synchronous something or other, just some marketing stuff. Don't let it put you off.

Same year, same speed/chip (DDR3 1333MHz SODIMM). The RAM from one will 100% work in the other.

Thank you!

It's nice to know I can at least put some to use, they were going to the trash can lol

SODIMM is an acronym for small-outline dual in-line memory module: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SO-DIMM

SDRAM is an acronym for synchronous dynamic random access memory.
