Hey, I own a Macbook Pro 13-inch, Mid 2012, Memory: 4 GB 1600 Mhz DDR3 When I click on "Memory upgrade instruction" in my Macbook Pro, it states the following: "Base memory 4 GB Maximum memory 8 GB Memory card specifications - Double Data Rate Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Module (DDR3)...

Hi All, I plan to buy used Mac Pro (mid 2010) with 2 processors but I am not sure how Mac manage RAM between these 2 processors. For example, if I have 32GB (8X4GB) RAM with 8 cores (2 quad-core processors) will I be able to access all 32GB per core, or is it 16GB per processor (in which case a...

I recently got a Mac Pro 1 1 and it had a ton of problems/no OS/Dead Card etc. I replaced the card and RAM risers and got a OS Installed, (10.7.2) but now my Mac will not boot up. When I press the power button my 8800 GT from nVIDIA runs at a high or 100% speed, the ram lights flash and that is...

I have a 2009 Macbook with 4 Gb of RAM, which I mostly use as a desktop with an extra keyboard and larger screen. It originally ran with Snow Leopard but I have upgraded, first to Mountain Lion and now El Capitan. The reason for each upgrade was that web browsing became impossible - Flash...

Hey guys, I actually wanted to buy the new Macbook pro because my old one is at his limits. But, I am really disappointed with the upgrade and want to wait and look for an alternative. In the meantime, I wanted to upgrade my mid 2012 macbook pro but I have no idea about hardware stuff :( That's...

So I'm planning on buying a new 13" MBP w/ Touch Bar over the next few weeks to replace my mid 2010 model (see signature for details). The problem is, I'm still undecided on what specifications I should go for. Unfortunately, as I'm in the UK, I haven't yet been able to go and check them out in...

Hi everyone, I am studying computer science in college next year, and I have decided to purchase a 2016 13'' MacBook Pro without the touch bar. I personally don't care for the touch bar, and I have decided the 2.9 GHz processor isn't worth it for me. I do however have a question about the...

There's been much talk and complaint about the 16GB RAM limitation (mostly from those that have no real need for 32GB and they'd complain instead about price even if it was an option) but almost no one seems to have caught the real reason Apple isn't offering a 32GB option. Ben Slaney...

Hello everyone, I want to upgrade my MacBook Pro mid 2012 using 5400 rpm hard drive to an SSD and buy an optibay for the current hard drive, and also upgrade it's RAM, but I don't have much experience in hardware and have a few things still unclear: 1. Do optibays have SATA 2 and SATA 3...

In an alternate reality, Apple listens to creative pros and introduces a 17in MacBook Pro. What would the machine (realistically) be? My wishlist. Five hour battery is fine. Power cord is normal. Real, killer PRO GPU. User memory slots to 64GB. Return of ports (for now). Real, PowerBook...

Hey guys, I am a student and was waiting for the macbook pro 2016 for a year, I was 100% sure, that I would buy one. After the release I was a bit shocked by the price increase and I am not sure which one to buy now. I would be very grateful if you could give me your opinion on the following...

All I can find is outdated info, so, now that we can run unsupported systems (Mavericks, Yosemite, El Capitan) on old macbooks, what is the max ram I can put to my MacBook 3,1 (Late 2007, 64 bit, running El Capitan)? (And what's the reccomended max memory for the best performance?)

I have a 13-inch MBP mid 2010 (4 GB RAM) which I am considering replacing with a new one. But I am not sure if I should buy the new MBP as I am looking for a laptop supporting 32 GB RAM so I thought I would upgrade to 8GB RAM and insert an SSD in my MBP for now. Do you think it is worth...

I was hoping to finally upgrade my early 2011 MacBook Pro this year, but just can't justify it. The only hardware limitation I have performance wise on my current almost six years old MBP is the RAM. In 2011 I typically used around 4 GB of RAM, and now I'm usually around 12 GB of my systems 16...

Hello. I was wondering how much RAM would be enough for me. I am going to be encoding, editing, rendering, and capturing video with the programs being active in the background. While I am waiting for the programs to batch encode and render video, I want to be able to still have enough power to...

Hello, I am planning to buy this ram Kingston KVR16LS11/4 4GB DDR3L 1600MHz CL11 for Macbook Pro 13 inch 9,2 - Mid-2012 model. Could you please help me to confirm whether this will work with my model? Best Regards

Hiya, (2009 MacBook Pro running El Capitan, 8G with an added SSD drive as my startup drive - HDD in optical slot and a WD external HD connected via USB) I'm creating an animation in AE 2015, all was fine to begin with but as I do more compositions I'm using up more and more memory....even...

This is discussed many times before, but without definitive answer. What is the correct way to arrange 16GB of additional memory? By default, the iMac has got 8GB of memory installed in a 4/0/4/0 way, or: BANK0/DIMM0 4GB BANK0/DIMM1 Empty slot BANK1/DIMM0 4GB BANK1/DIMM1 Empty slot Now, some...

Since the upgrade, I've noticed macOS doesn't like to give up memory as easily. I currently have 32 GB of RAM installed, only have Safari (one tab), Activity Monitor, and 2 very lightweight non-leaky menu bar apps open, aside from system daemons and such but it shows that I'm using 14 GB of 32...

I just move from Windows to Mac and going to buy the new rMBP 13" at late Oct. I am wondering whether I should upgrade RAM to 16BG or storage to 512GB because I have a limited budget so I have to choose one of them. I'm a computer science student. Actually, I have started to develop iOS app on...
