It *should* work that way.

Ramjet: Non-Stacked IC's: Ramjet uses a Non-stacked module for the 4GB SO-DIMM module for the MacBook. The cheaper stacked IC variety of 4GB SO-DIMM draws more power, which increases heat and decreases battery life. Ramjet ONLY uses premium non-stacked chips. As long as your listing is correct and the new parts are: PC2-5300, DDR2-667, 667Mhz, Latency 5-5-5, Non-ECC, Unbuffered, 1.8V, 200pin SO-DIMM then you should be Ok. (Don't worry about the Latency stuff.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SO-DIMM#/media/File:Laptop_SODIMM_DDR_Memory_Comparison_V2.svg "Matched pairs" are safer, of course, but it's probably not necessary. Cheers, Scott.

At least one manufacturer has reported this reflects successful testing at a higher-than-standard data rate[6] whilst others simply round up for the name. The PC number is something like a data transfer rate. That's kinda advertising if it's only a slight delta from the standard. In that Amazon description case, it's probably just a typo. HTH. Cheers, Scott.
