Question How many pins for the RAM for an Apple MacBook Pro "Core i5" 2.3 13" Early 2011 ?

[Manuel Jordan]

Hello

For Apple MacBook Pro "Core i5" 2.3 13" Early 2011 Specs about the ram is indicated:

Supports 1333 MHz PC3-10600 DDR3 SDRAM.

And for Apple MacBook Pro "Core i7" 2.9 13" Mid-2012 Specs about the RAM is indicated:

Supports 1600 MHz PC3-12800 DDR3L SDRAM SO-DIMMs (204-pin).

As you can see the latter states the number of pins.

• So how many pins for the RAM for the former (Apple MacBook Pro "Core i5" 2.3 13" Early 20110 ?

Thanks for the link

Just being curious, why the "Associated RAM Clock Rates" shown for DDR3 has a range of "400 MHz – 1066 MHz" but the listed in my OP for the latter being DDR3 too has 1600MHZ ... as you can see 1600 > 1066

Maybe a typo or errorneous copy and paste somewhere along the way.

Perhaps some overclocking values slipped in....

Look to other sources. E.g.:

Always a good idea to verify specs and settings for any component.

At least some consensus....
