QUOTE(hairol83 @ Apr 18 2011, 09:52 PM) @diners, actually my purpose of buying 1333 is bcuz next time at least got higher resale value?Both MacBook and MacBook Pro (unibody) that were release since 2008-2010 are used 1066MHz DDR3. Actually you can put the 1333MHz, but it will reduce the speed to 1066MHz. I think that's why the store refused to sell you the 1333MHz since they know that your model is support 1066MHz. And btw,Yes, you can used that Netbook HD and install it inside your MacBook.  but oh well, already bought it so yeahhh i think need to do some homework on how to wipe my netbook hd and put inside my umb ady  |
