I'm upgrading the memory for macmini late 2009. i was told that my mac mini will only take 4gb of memory maxed combined from both slots. is this true?

Don't know about the Mac mini but I have a late 2008 Aluminum MacBook that was designed for 4GB but due to a firmware upgrade that Apple put out, I was able to upgrade my mac to 8GB. I'm really pleased with the resultant speed upgrade. The other thing that greatly helped my speed was taking out the onboard CD player and instead installing 256GB Solid State Drive (SSD) using an adapter bought off Amazon.

Will 16gb(8+8) support with macbook pro mid 2010 2.66ghz core 2 duo 13 inch?

Hi Parmesh, thanks for reaching out. I understand it may be a bit late, however I wanted to ensure the right info is out there. The 2010 Macbook Pro line, as a rule, only will support up to 8 GB of RAM. While this upgrade might not be a great fit, you'll still be able to upgrade the computer to 8GB (2x4GB modules) if you wish, still 1066MHz RAM. If you have more detailed questions feel free to get in touch with our expert support team at owcdigital.com/supportHope this helps, have a great day!

Is this comparable with mid 2010 Mac mini

Hi Christine, Yes this RAM is definitely compatible with a 2010 Mac Mini. If you have any other questions feel free to reach out to our support team at owcdigital.com/support
