    16 v 32 gb ram

    Hi So I am going to but the newly launcher Macbook Pro since my old mid 2012 pro retina is getting a little tired. I’m opting for the higher end 15 inch with a 2.6 CPU and a 512 SSD. However I cannot figure out if I need to upgrade the ram to 32 gb? I’ve read a lot of forums about it but still...

    Mixing Ram Sizes in 2017?

    Hi All, I'm currently looking for RAM to add to my Late 2017 iMac. It currently has 8 gigs and i'm looking to add another 16 gigs and total it out at 24 gigs of ram. So we're looking at two 4 GB chips and two 8 GB chips after this is done. One of my co-workers who is smarter than I am...

    8 or 16 GB RAM for my uses?

    Hello, I'm having trouble deciding how much RAM I should purchase on a new base 13" MBP. I am a graduate student. When I am doing my most computer-intensive work, I have multiple safari pages open, a word document or two, Kindle for textbooks, and at least 3 PDFs open. All in all, I think...

    8GB or 16GB RAM on 2018 MacBook Pro?

    Hi all, I ordered the 256GB TouchBar model with 8GB and am having second thoughts on the RAM. My use is fairly moderate, however. No real plans for gaming, occasional large numbers/excel document use, will never really need to run more than 5 tabs in Safari. The only tasks I see that would be...

    G5 Quad Gluttony!

    So after 2/3 years of putting up with an unsightly '12' in my system profiler under memory, I finally got some cheap DDR2 DIMMs to bring me on up to 16GB. For some reason when I first put them in it only detected 2 of 4. So swapping 4 x 1GB for 2 x 2GB was naturally not much of an upgrade. I...

    Vintage Macbook Pro 3,1: most suitable RAM?

    I'm looking for a single 4GB stick of PC5300 667 for my 10 year old Macbook Pro (non unibody) for 6GB total. My hunt led me to a post on the forums here which discussed specifics about choosing the right RAM for a Mac and how the chip size, arrangement and quantity matter but didn't provide a...

    RAM Compatibility for iMac 2015 5K

    Can I install the default 8gb ram that comes with the 2017 model, on a 2015 iMac? I have a 2015 model and a friend bought the 2017 but she put new ram and she won't use the 8gb that came with it. How can I make sure that they will be compatible with the ones I have on my 2015 model?

    Where to sell my stock Mac Pro 5,1 parts

    Hey there, I know ebay and craigslist is always an option. But I was wondering if anyone knew of a place that buys used stock Mac Pro parts. I'd like to sell my stock 2.8 4-core CPU, and 4gb and 1gb RAM, for what little they are worth, and was hoping there was somewhere easier than online...

    The Current Confusing Case of My iMac

    This is my first post to MacRumors, and I wanted to see if I could pick some brains here to see if anyone else either had this issue or knows what is causing this issue. A word on me and this post: I tend to write a lot; I don't want to leave out details when I am attempting to dissect and/or...

    Which Macbook Pro configuration should I buy?

    Hello, I would like to get a MacBook Pro – it will be my first Apple computer. But I don’t really know which configuration to choose. I want to code using Eclipse and Xcode, edit pictures using Affinity Photo, edit Videos (usually 1080p but maybe sometimes 4K) and I would like to try out 3D...

    Optimum sample streaming config for 5,1 Mac Pro

    I'm getting a 2nd 3.46GHz 12-core 5,1 Mac Pro specifically for audio sample streaming via VEP6. I'll probably go the DVD Bay route for the OS SSD to maximise available PCI bandwidth and I'll probably put a GTX 680 in slot 1. That leaves slots 2,3 & 4 for PCI SSD cards. The aim is to optimise the...

    iMac default 16 GB config from Apple

    this is a fairly simple question for anyone who had purchased the 16 Gb iMac 27 inch: does the default machine come with 2 x 8GB sticks, or 4 x 4GB dimms? I cant find an answer anywhere. I wanna know because the latter config would result in 8 GB less ram if i purchased my own additional 32 GB...
