Hi I got a late 2008 MBP 15" with processor 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and Memory 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, I was wondering if these will work on my computer

This model can use 2 sticks of 4GB 1067MHz (8GB total) of RAM. I used the Kingston 1066MHz modules in a friend's MacBook & it worked perfectly. I like Kingston & put an 8GB set in my new 2012 Mac mini.

I have the same MBPro 15" late 2008 model and it works perfectly with my computer. I haven't had any stability issues so far. Programs are snappier. No more slowdowns due to low resources. I have Skype, Spotify, Chrome and a bunch of other programs running in the background and still have 4gb of RAM to spare.

I used this RAM on my Mac mini. I don't know for sure if this will work on your machine or not. You can go on the Apple website to see which RAM your particular machine needs.

I believe so (it worked for me). But to make sure 100000%, look up how to get at the ram. (Open the bottom case and its right there) take a stick out and see what it says on it.ll Check and see if it matches up. I personally used this ram with the exact same setup you have. And it worked great. Needed it when in updated to the new "iOS" basically haha.

I am not sure. You can verify your macbook which type of RAM it is using. As long as the new RAM is matching the type, it will work. Here are the steps: 1. Click on the Apple icon on the top left screen, click on about this mac 2. on the about page, you will see the memory information. If your memory information match the spec of the of 1066 Mhz and DDR3, it is likely to work. Good luck.

No,1. Your 2008 only supports a max of 6gb2. Macbooks use sdram, 200 pin, not 240

Yes the crucial ram 8gb will work in your macbook it should give you a nice performance boost, in addition I would add in a ssd drive and really gain a performance boost.

It's important to match your DDr's with your Bus speed. If not-- problems. Fore sample, my bus speed on my Mac Mini was 1.07 Ghz. These are 1066mhz. Did not match and computer malfunctioned. Good of answer as I can give. I don't know why the seller of these things does not write a "buyer beware:"-- warning of such hazards. Would save everyone a lot of grief. You should Goggle about buying memory for your computer before buying these.

Yes, This memory would work with the MacBook model you indicated. Here is the Link for your validation: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/specs/macbook-core-2-duo-2.2-black-13-late-2007-santa-rosa-specs.html

My Dell E6400 has the same cpu series...Core 2 Duo. However this memory did not work in my laptop. After installing the memory my machine wouldn't reboot with this memory installed. After reinstalling the original memory it worked just fine. I would check the Apple website and see what memory is a known good choice for your Macbook. Most manufacturers of laptops and computers post memory that is a known compatible choice. I feel like you are gambling with a hit or miss situation trying this memory. Good luck !!

I don't know. My advice below.1) click on the apple logo on the top left corner of your menu bar, select about this Mac, then record the info from the Memory, which should have something such as 8GB, 1600 mhz, DDR3. 2. go to support.apple.com web site to find out what your exact model MBP you have and see if it has the 67.6mm x 30 mm ( 1.18 inch ) 204 pin slot which this Kingston 8GB RAM fits. 3. The Kingston 8GB RAM has a 1600 MHZ speed, and if the specs on your computer is not 1600MHz, you may want to go to the Mac Forum on line and find out if anyone have tried installing this RAM on the same model MBP that you have to be sure that it performs okay before you buy this RAM.

Honestly I have no idea. Since Apple went to Intel processors, the form factor for memory (these sticks) has become open to the standard PC market. Theoretically, yes, it should work. The other option is to go to www.crucial.com, download the system scanner, and that will give you a better idea of what type of memory you can put into your laptop. The other option is to buy it, install it, see if it boots, check it, and if it fails, return it. Amazon has a wonderful return policy, and if you have the option to spend the extra money, go for it. Otherwise, taking it to a local retailer to install it would also work, and they can also advise better as to the upgrade path you might consider. Honestly I have no idea.

Yes. Because your macbook runs ddr3 at 10600 1333MHZ this ram is compatible but will not run at its full clock speed of 1600MHZ. I would suggest buying ram with the lower clock speed if it will save money.

These should work for this model. Your machine only has 2 memory slots, so it really depends how much memory you have now. Your machine can only support 2GB of memory, so be careful on what you are actually going to gain.

what are you asking? if your 2GB module is DDR2 200 pin 667MHz pc2-5300 it will match beautifully provided your laptop can recognize and use 6GB RAM. i tried another brand 4GB module that did not workCrucial memory has never failed in any of my macs since 2004

Hello Mia,Your MacBook is from about the right year. The only way I can be sure is if you give me your macbook's model number. It's usually written really small on the bottom of the computer. It will probably look something like "MA699LL/A," if you email the model number of your MacBook I will let you know exactly which ram to buy and how much you can use. Thanks
