System-Specific DDR3 Kit

This 8 GB kit contains two 4 GB DDR3 1066 MHz SO-DIMM modules built for the Apple MacBook Pro 15.4-inch Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz from 2008. It targets owners of the MB470LL/A unibody model who need the maximum 8 GB capacity.

Installation Requirements

The modules use the 204-pin SO-DIMM form factor and run at 1.5 V with CL7 timing. They fit the two memory sockets in the compatible MacBook Pro and require Boot ROM version MBP 51.007E. B05 plus Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard to recognise the full 8 GB.

Sustained Operation

Unbuffered, non-ECC chips with a 2Rx8 organisation deliver stable throughput at the rated 1066 MHz speed during extended workloads. The lack of a heat spreader means airflow inside the notebook chassis handles thermal management.

Questions about this item

Will the 1.5V DDR3 1066MHz modules throttle under sustained load?

These modules run at standard 1.5V with CL7 timing and no heat spreader; the MacBook Pro 15" 2008 cooling system handles the thermal load for continuous operation.

How loud or hot do the sticks get during all-day use?

The SO-DIMMs are unbuffered, non-ECC and have no heat spreader; they add minimal heat and produce no audible noise inside the MacBook Pro 15" 2008 chassis.

Which MacBook Pro model and OS version must I already have for this 8GB kit to work?

This kit is validated for the MacBook Pro 15.4" Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz (MB470LL/A, MacBookPro5,1, A1286) running Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard with Boot ROM MBP51.007E.B05.
