ram

Hi guys, My system is a late 2012 27" iMac, 16gb RAM with Sierra 10.12.5, and when I start it up, it's already using 7gb of it... Around 6gb App memory and 1gb wired memory. My 1TB HDD is almost empty, I only have OSX and a couple more things, I'm using 15% of the HDD. I use external HDD for...

Hi guys! I'm facing a problem with an Mac Pro 1,1 (2006). First of all let me give all SW and HW specs: - The computer itself is a Mac Pro 1,1 but was flashed to be recognized as an 2,1 (2007); - The installed CPU's are two E5345 @2,33 GHz; - The GPU is and HD5770 flashed to work as an Apple...

Just for anyone wanting a real world low-tech review . Disclaimer, I am very much an amateur at this stuff. I am replacing a 2009 iMac - so yes, this is a massive jump. I was hoping for an iMac refresh, but this setup looked too good to pass up - so I went in. I record music in GarageBand...

I know this issue has been discussed to death, but as I was speci’ing out a MBA I became alarmed at how quickly things got expensive. I decided to check the refurbished sales at Apple.com and found a 2018 base processor MBP with 512 ssd for LESS than the MBA I was about the buy. The only...

I posted this over in the big thread discussing whether or not the RAM in a 2018 Mac Mini is user replaceable, but since it might get lost over time, I thought I'd share it as it's own thread. Here's a write up I did on how to replace/upgrade the memory inside a 2018 Mac Mini...

While waiting for an iFixit teardown or OWC memory installation video, I came across this Macworld unboxing that opens up the case near the end. Skip to 7:55. From Tom's Guide: "So, even if you have a set of tiny Torx drivers, you'll probably need to get a different screwdriver, one with a...

Hi everyone, I have come across a very good and limited (5 units) sale for an almost new MBP 2018 with 8GB of RAM. I'd aim for 16GB, but the deal I can get is only for the base Touchbar model (but with 512GB storage). I know a lot of you guys know more about this stuff than I do, so I really...

In the third paragraph it states "But like most Apple products, it's not really end-user upgradable, requiring a trip to a service center. This undercuts one of the perks, namely being able to buy less expensive memory elsewhere" https://www.cnet.com/reviews/apple-mac-mini-2018-preview/

Hi, After a loong time (almost 2 years), I had some time today to try one more time to revive a Mac Pro 4.1 that I had to stash away since it died on me back in April 2017. The original post was this...

Hi everybody :) I’m about to purchase a MacBook Pro 13” without Touch Bar and as the title says I have this doubt, for a web developer (full stack if that matters) what is the upgrade that makes more sense? 16Gb RAM or the i7 processor? Knowing that I can’t afford both ..D’uh :rolleyes: Thanks

I just ordered the new Mac mini and went for the standard 8GB version. I plan to buy 32GB 2666 MHZ DDR4 RAM and then got asked what PIN count I wanted, with 240 and 260 being options. Any thoughts as to which it should be? Your thoughts on brand would be very helpful too! UPDATE: 10/11/18 I...

i was browsing Geekbench again this morning and saw a new model pop up with a curious result. So far we’ve seen iPad8,8 with 6GB RAM and iPad 8,3 with 4GB RAM. But I just found an iPad 8,2 with 6GB of RAM. What do you guys make of this? https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/10575276 Can anyone...

I am wanting to get a 600mhz iMac G3 with 1gb of ram and use it as my daily machine for email, internet (no video watching, no gaming), and word processing. Can I still get by on the internet in 2018 with a G3 iMac running 10.4.11 tiger and TenFourFox as my browser? I am also wondering if anyone...

I know there are tons of threads on this particular question, but I need some guidance. I currently use a 3-year old Windows laptop with the following specs: - 5th Gen Intel Core i7-5700HQ (2.70 - 3.50 GHz) - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M (2GB GDDR3) - 8 GB DDR3L RAM - 256 GB SSD I'm getting a new...

Hello all, I upgraded the RAM in a 2009 Mac pro. I also flashed it to 5,1 firmware. I also replaced the CPU to a X5680. However, when I boot the machine, the RAM is reported as 1066 MHz. I am actually confused about why this occurs? Has anyone else experienced this issue? The RAM that I...

Hello, I recently bought 2x8gb @1867ghz sticks of RAM to add to the 16gb (also 2x8gb @1867ghz) that is in my late 2015 iMac. Despite tracking down RAM that is the same brand, clock speed, and latency; when installed together, the system shows the speed as 1333ghz. I've attached a picture of...
