DDR3L-1333 Ram in a 1600 Laptop?

Budha · ‎04-02-2018

I have Crucial 16GB Kit (2 x 8GB) DDR3L-1333 SODIMM Memory for Mac in my early 2011 Macbook Pro. I now have a new to me mid 2012 MacBook Pro. The 2012 calls for DDR3L-1600. Can I run the DDR3L-1333 in the 2012 without harming the computer?

No, the memory is not compatible as the MBP 2012 needs the faster 1600MHz memory and the 2011 is only using 1333MHz.

How do I know what memory to buy?
