Am I able to put in a 1 gig stick of KTA-PB533/1G ram into my Macbook Pro? I see that it is mainly for a powerbook...but would I get any benefit with this in there? I just don't want to hurt m computer It is by Kingston.
Ignore the last poster. It will work in your MBP and work just fine. I have 2GBs of Kingston's DDR2-533 in mine because I was cheap and I couldn't find any DDR2-667 in local stores (except Apple's, and they wanted $500 for 2GBs at the time... )

Ignore the last poster? Yes you can do a lot of things with a computer that will 'work' but they aren't all correct. When buy a two or three thousand dollars laptop and put sub-standard RAM in it. If you are going to spend that much on a computer you might as well spend the extra 250 for the correct ram.
Because when you just spent $2000 on a laptop, maybe you don't have an extra $250 for "correct" RAM. =P
*shrug* Works out great for me, it's even faster than 2GBs of normal DDR2-667 due to the dual channelness making up for the lack of bandwidth and lower latencies (4-4-4-12) too. Woohoo!

You can also write code that 'works' but it isn't the best way of doing it. Yes, you can use the RAM, but apple choose 667 for a reason.
What kind of performance hit do you take for installing unpaired ram?
I have a stock macbook (provided by work) that is dipping into Virtual memory too much and I am tempted to put a an extra gig in. Since my work won't pay for it I want to have the option of using the same stick later in a MacBook Pro that I might by with my own money after leopard comes out. Sine the Pro lower model comes with 1 gb in one slot I would then have paired memory.
It is by Kingston.

Check out ramjet.com or crucial if you want non-apple ram.

Any reason I shouldn't do this?
