'DDR3' is the type (and must be the same as what your computer has).

However, your system will operate at the speed of the slowest memory module. Memory is designed to be backward-compatible, so generally speaking, you can safely add faster memory to a computer that was designed to run slower memory. This is from the crucial website which was posted here: mac-instead-of-1067mhz

The only computer that is known to run a single 8gb RAM stick is the 2010 15' Macbook pro as stated here Yes your computer is capable of running 8gb of RAM but only in 2 4gb Chips.

Sometimes the higher clocked RAM is more expensive but most times it's cheaper due to availability and that the actual cost to make that newer RAM has gone down in the last 3 years. THE ONLY THING THAT IS ABSOLUTELY A MUST IS THE VOLTAGE!!!! Most newer chips run on 1.2v All Macs 2010 and below run on 1.5v so you'd need to find 1.5v higher speed RAM.Д¬ompanies, EVEN CRUCIAL, will sell you higher 'clocked' RAM and it will be compatible with your computer. What WILL NOT work is putting a single 8gb RAM chip into one slot. Your Mid 2009 Macbook Pro can run PC3-8500, PC3-10600, PC3-12800 (1066mhz, 1333mhz, 1600mhz) literally anything above 8500 in the PC3 format will work.Higher speed RAM clocks down, or reduces speed to match your computer capability. I don't really post that much as you can tell. Also Don't know why people are saying the ram you posted won't work, because it will. but if you can't, there's probably some work arounds to assist you living with what you have and that's not a bad thing.

So there are some things that i mull through and remember, when I was in your chair, making similar comparisons in what to do and how to do it, and modifying my machine. not interested in moving forward with adobe for the buy in and live comfortably without it. not nearly as much LOL.Д«ut I lost all my old adobe apps.

mainly when you start wanting to do things like run parellels and windows, or you have a project and you need this plus that, but you are misisng a component. but overall, iOS compatibility.ДЄnd you know on my older mac, i have a 2009/2010 white case, and yah, it didn't reach the speeds and processing that I personally required, and always had glitches, and funky electronic cul-de-sacs in working the machine. I prefer maverick, hate the name, lost some things that I loved. but the 2011 has graphics, like others above say.

I wouldn't want to gloat if you cannot upgrade to 16g but if you couldn't, and you really want maverick, popping up to a late 2011 might be an upgrade choice, since there's hard cut offs by year on older models, which I absolutely despise that issue with manufacturers. but for regular programs, i can use the machine with similar speed to my thought process, which is very scary. but with some updates, some recognition of the memory heavies.

and i had a few little glitchy things here and there. I broke a sweat putting them in and powering up. going to crucial, making the double checks, helped me correct a potential error I almost made during ordering. but doing the research is what had me going, dipping into some forums, doing some reading. I got the type they indicated, which abrody is very adept, if you get it wrong, it can cause complications.ДЇurther some did and it didn't work. But like whywutt, I went to crucial and got their confirmation on my model. some could not, and there was a lot of anxiety that I had, in making that jump LOL. I did some researching and found that my particular model can accept 16g. I have a 2011 MBP so my specs are probably different, however, mine was set max at 8g. so i would think that he's had some experience.
