MBP memory compatible with Macbook?

[brianbotkiller]

Hi all,

A friend gave me two sticks of 1GB each RAM from his Macbook Pro (he recently upgraded).

I have the white 2nd gen macbook core 2 duo, max of 2GB of RAM.

I'm wondering if what he gave me will work in my machine. I popped out RAM stick from mine, and the data on it reads:

512MB 2Rx16 PC2 5300S-555-12-E3, model M470T6554CZ3-CE6 0649

and what he gave me reads:

1GB 2R8x8 PC2 5300S-555-12-E3 and the model is listed as M470T2953EZ-CE6.

Everything seems like it'll work, same pin number, both made by samsung, and I believe their both the right clock rating/etc. - but will I blow things up if I put this in and it's not right? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I cannot see how this wouldn't work, but even if the RAM was wrong, your computer would refuse to boot until you removed the offending chip.

RAM chips do break, and what one does is replace the broken chip, not buy a new computer after salvaging what was left of a burnt out home
