Can a mid-2010 MacBook Pro accept faster RAM?

[King Mustard]

The 6,2 supports DDR3-1066 (PC3-8500) RAM.

If faster DDR3 RAM was installed, would the laptop still work? (though, of course, running the RAM at a slower speed)

Hello and welcome.

Sorry for the delayed response.

It is always recommended to install the correct RAM for compatibility. What RAM are you looking to use?

Because memory for older Macs is relatively inexpensive these days, I would suggest something like this: OWC Memory Upgrades For MacBook Pro (Late 2008 - 2010)
