Will the single 8gb chip work with late 2011 13" Macbook Pro 2.4?

It should work fine. Even though Apple's specification says that maximum memory the late 2011 MacBook Pro 13" can take is 8GB, that model has been tested with 16GB and it works fine...which means it's perfectly capable of recognizing and using a single 8GB RAM card. This one would be fine.

What happens if i exceed maximum memory recommendations for my system? i have an macbook pro a1278 and the maximum requirement is 8 gb.

That is a tough question to answer since I do not know the physical configuration of your motherboard. Ram cards must fit into pre-existing slots. Also the pin structure on the ram card must align with slots on the motherboard. The cpu needs to be able to operate at the same speed as the ram. You might see it as a megahertz references. Also the cpu needs to be able to map to all the available ram slots in the stack for proper operation. Most likely your Mac has four ram slots with 2gb capacity each. So I am not sure if it will work, best of luck.

My computer has 1 slot with 4Gb, can I use both 8 and 4? macbook pro early 2011 13 inch i5

Yes, it is compatible with your MacBook Pro early 2011 13 inch. You can use both 8GB and 4GB as long as the two memory modules have the same density. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact support@timetecinc.com. Thank you, I.F. Timetec Inc.

Nueva vida para mi viejo Dell XPS L502X

Tengo un Dell XPS L502X de 2011 al que instalé Ubuntu 22.04 hace unas semanas y sus 6 GB (módulo de 2 GB y módulo de 4 GB) se quedan ya muy cortos debido al continuo swapping que realiza al abrir aplicaciones que necesito. Por ello decidí ampliar la memoria y aunque Dell indica que éste modelo solo admite 8 GB como máximo, la documentación de la placa base y el procesador indican que podría con 16 GB. Entonces, decidí buscar un módulo de 8 GB que estuviese bien de precio a ver si lo podía reemplazar por el de 2 GB y así tener 12 GB. Encontré éste módulo que tiene las características que buscaba: SO-DIMM DDR3 a 1333MHz, CAS 9 a 1.5 V y como me dio confianza que el fabricante indicaba que era compatible con un MAC Book Pro, decidí pedirlo. Al día siguiente llegó el típico sobre de cartón de Amazon y dentro el módulo de memoria dentro de un embalaje de plástico que estaba sellado. La protección ofrecida por el fabricante es bastante buena. La instalación del módulo fue sencillísima: cambié el módulo de 2 GB por éste y arranqué el portátil. La BIOS detectó los 12 GB directamente y Ubuntu arrancó sin problema. Ahora, mi viejo portátil se comporta como si fuese otro y es capaz de ejecutar todas las aplicaciones que necesito con bastante soltura (para un ordenador de más de 12 años, claro) y sin ningún tipo de swapping por menos de 20 euros. A ver si con suerte llega a los 20.
