RAM Upgrade Q, seems kinda dumb but...

[soulesschild]

I have a late 2009 Mac Mini wtih 2GB of ram that I'm thinking of upgrading.

It takes:

DDR3 PC3-8500 • CL=7 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR3-1066 • 1.35V • 512Meg x 64

And I have 2x4GB from a Early 2011 MBP that's:

DDR3 PC3-10600 • CL=9 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR3-1333 • 1.35V • 1024Meg x 64

Would I be able to just put the MBP ram in and have it work at reduced rates or would it actually not work/be dangerous to the Mac Mini? I know the FAQ says that it SHOULD work but I just want to confirm so I don't accidentally fry my Mac Mini

This should be fine. RAM does work at slower speed than what the specs say.

it actually not work/be dangerous to the Mac Mini?

No it will not be dangerous.

No it will not be dangerous.

That's what I figured but never too sure with Apple products....
