8GB DDR3 1066MHz SO-DIMM Kit

This 8GB kit contains two 4GB DDR3 1066MHz SO-DIMM modules built for the Apple Mac Mini "Core 2 Duo" 2.0 Early 2009. The unbuffered, non-ECC memory runs at 1.5V with CL7 7-7-7 timings and uses 204-pin connectors. Computer Memory Solutions validates compatibility for this specific system.

Ideal for owners restoring

The kit suits users who want the maximum 8GB capacity this model can address after applying EFI Firmware Update 1.2. It is not for buyers whose Mac Mini is a different year or model, nor for anyone needing ECC or registered memory for a server or workstation platform.

DDR3 1066MHz speed grade

The modules operate at DDR3 1066 (PC3 8500). If your Mac Mini requires this exact speed grade and 204-pin SO-DIMM form factor, the kit matches the specification; otherwise the memory will not be compatible.

Highlights

  • 8GB total capacity expands multitasking headroom on supported Mac Mini
  • 1066MHz DDR3 speed matches the system memory bus for stable operation
  • CL7 timing reduces access latency during everyday workloads
  • 204-pin SO-DIMM form factor fits the Early 2009 Mac Mini slot exactly

Questions about this item

Will my Mac Mini Early 2009 accept both 4GB sticks in its two SO-DIMM slots?

Yes, the kit provides two 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMMs that match the Mac Mini Early 2009's dual-slot layout.

Can I keep the original 1GB or 2GB modules and add this 8GB kit alongside them?

No, the Mac Mini Early 2009 has only two slots, so the existing modules must be removed to install this 2x4GB kit.

After installing the kit and applying EFI Firmware Update 1.2, how do I confirm the full 8GB is recognised?

Open About This Mac or System Profiler; it should show 8GB total memory at 1066 MHz across both slots.
