RAM of newest MBP (DDR3 1067) compatible with older C2D Mac mini?

Hi everyone,
I just upgraded my new Core i7 MBP with 8 GB and now the 2x 2 GB (DDR3 1067 MHz) that were previously installed are free to use. I was wondering if they are backwards-compatible with my older 1,83 GHz Core 2 Duo Mac mini which uses DDR2 667 MHz RAMs? I couldn’t find a definitive answer on that. I read statements that these RAMs can be used in Core 2 Duo Macs, but I wanted to make sure...
Has anybody attempted this?
Thanks
Björn

Hey Björn, Scott Billings has it correct, nothing in this comparison is compatible:
DDR3 1067 MHz
DDR2 667 MHz
However, depending on where you purchased your Ram upgrade, some venders are offering a rebate for your original factory Ram kit. It is one way of offsetting the upgrade cost. Hope this helps.

    I understand that my mac mini would only see 3 Gig.

    Even if it is, I wouldn't buy it. Under warranty info, there is no indication the manufacturer has issued a warranty on that RAM. Without such a warranty, you are worse off than most RAM manufacturers, whom give their own lifetime warranty. See my FAQ*:

  • 10.8.2 Not Compatible with my 2012 Mac Mini?

    I just purchased a Mac Mini to run some hardware in my graphic design studio...I purchased it last week (Nov 2012) and I just got around to implementing it with our equipment.  So I get prompted for an update in the App Store and attempt to update but one of them fails saying I need 10.8.2.  I thought I had the latest...but anyway...I go to update the OSX to 10.8.2 and I get a notification that it is not compatible with my computer?
    Can you someone please tell me why this case?  I would have thought a 1 week old computer would be very compatible with the latest OSX?

  • Adobe flash media encoder compatibility with the lion mac mini server

    Can anyone tell me if the adobe flash media encoder is compatible with the lion mac mini server?

    I am running adobe live flash encoder on a new mac-mini server with Lion and am able to stream video just fine - however I get a hum in the audio. I am not sure whether the hum is caused by the audio input, the camcorder, the adobe encoder, or the combination, but it seems to be the camcorder's fault.
    There is a manual about migrating or upgrading to lion server, but none about instituting a new capability from scratch

  • How to make my form be compatible with older adobe versions

    Hello,
    I created a dynamic form with adobe lifecycle 9. As users try to use the form, they get this error:
    "This PDF form requires a more recent version of Adobe® Reader® or Adobe Acrobat® software. While this form may appear to be working, some elements may not function correctly or may not appear at all."
    Is there a way to make the form be compatible with older adobe versions?
    Thanks.

    In the File Menu -> Form Properties under Default Tab, choose the Target Version of Adobe Reader that you expect users to have the minimum version.
    If any of the functionality does not compatible with the selected version, then the warnings will be displayed under report tab. You can access it by going to Window menu -> Report.
    Thanks

    Is iCloud compatible with Outlook for Mac yet?

    That is correct, Microsoft decided to make the Windows version of Outlook compatible with iCloud and to make the Mac version of Outlook incompatible.
    Ask them why they did that.
    While you wait for an answer you can use Mail, Contacts and Calendars (they are on your Mac) to access iCloud services.

  • AI CS6 (v 16.2.0) compatible with CS6 on Mac?

    Is AI CS6 (v 16.2.0) compatible with CS6 on Mac?   we're getting "file generated by a newer version" on the PC - it's on the latest version!
    "the file was generated by a newer version of Illustrator"

    This kind of seems to depend on using specific stuff in the documents like a spot swatch color that may not be available on the other system. Seen a few of those lately, but without knowing more about your documents and so on nobody can realyl know what's going on.

  • Best USB 2.0 Hub to use with iPods and Mac Mini 2009?

    I am using my Mac Mini as my iTunes station, and I have five iPods
    that are connected to my master iTunes Station.
    Recently I needed to add a USB drive to add more space to the mini.
    Along with a wireless keyboard ( that uses a USB transmuting dongle)
    I am short two USB ports. Can anyone recommend a good USB hub
    that is compatible with iPod Touch, iPod Mini, IPod Shuffle, iPod Classic 30GB,
    and iPod Classic 160GB for iTunes synching and charging?

    Anyone have any luck with this hub:

    looks like the White Belkin one, but is on Amazon for about half the price, and
    other than being brown, I don't see a difference?

  • Will a external Apple iSight work with the latest Mac Mini?

    with a firewire 400-800 if it will what software do i need to take pictures and videos.
    Many Thanks

    Will a external apple isight work with the latest mac mini.
    Yes (if the external iSight works.)
    External iSights are great webcams, but they are getting old (as consumer electronics go) and some have had pretty rough treatment. You can test yours using the suggestions from this page:
      http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/EZJim/EZJimpage4.html
    I suggest you disconnect other Firewire devices until you get your external iSight working with your mini.
    If you do not already have an external iSight and are considering buying one now,
    a new webcam (with warranty) may be a better choice.
    Many available alternatives are listed here: http://www.mac-compatible-web-cam.com/

    Use one of the following ways to connect your FW400 external iSight to a FW800 Mac port:
    • To use the FW400 6pin-6pin cable that comes with iSight, you can use a 6pin-9pin adapter
      like one of these:

    • Some report that this low-priced alternative cable works:
      http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812189097
    I suggest you disconnect other Firewire devices until you get external iSight working with your mini. Once iSight works when it is the only FW connected device, you can try connecting other Firewire devices to determine whehter you can use any of them without conflict.
    ... if it will what software do i need to take pictures and videos.
    With your 10.6.3 mini, you can use QuickTime X, iChat, Photo Booth, iMovie, and some of the other apps that are installed with OS X. Your Mac's Help for each of these apps can tell you how to use them with iSight (or other connected cameras.)
    Some more apps you can use are shown in this list:

    The web links for each app gives details on what functions is offers with your webcam.
