![]() ![]() (detailed instructions, intermediate skill level).Īfter that, simply power down your virtual machine, eject your bootable Windows disc and flash drive, and install both 4GB sticks of RAM into your MacBook. Unfortunately, this was not the case and when booting with 8GB of RAM, my Mac’s loading indicator would freeze when booting the OS. Of course, I knew that my model MacBook Pro only supports up to 1066MHz DDR3 RAM, but I assumed that the faster RAM would downclock itself to match the 1066MHz limitations of the MacBook Pro itself. However, as confirmed by OWC, if running OS X 10.7.5 or higher, updated with the latest EFI, and equipped with proper specification memory modules, this model can support up to 16 GB of RAM. If you’re like me, you don’t tend to pay too much attention to the nitty-gritty details of something as trivial as a RAM upgrade. If your machine is indeed a MBP 13' Unibody Mid 2010, heres the specs: Originally, both the official and actual maximum RAM was 8 GB. The 4GB my mid-2010 13″ MacBook Pro came with just wasn’t cutting it for me anymore so I picked up a couple of 4GB DDR3 1333MHz sticks for about $40. ![]() It uses the free Windows only ThaiPhoon burner, which can only be run from BootCamp or a BartPE disc (not a VM!). The article quoted below shows in detail (with video) how to hack the RAM to run at a lower speed. From my reading, using 8gb (or even 16gb) is not an issue, but using the faster 1333Mhz RAM is apparently a problem.
