    Max Ram on a late 2007 macbook

    All I can find is outdated info, so, now that we can run unsupported systems (Mavericks, Yosemite, El Capitan) on old macbooks, what is the max ram I can put to my MacBook 3,1 (Late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?)

    Waiting for the 32 GB MBP

    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...

    Sierra Memory Usage

    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...

    Macbook Pro Mid 2009 16 GB Ram

    Hello, Even if Apple states that Macbook Pro Mid 2009 (5,5) can be upgraded to 2 x 4GB DDR3-1066 SODIMM Ram. I wonder has someone tried to install 2 x 8 GB of ram? I see a video someone installed 16 GB of ram to his 2010 MBP. I wonder can I do same to to MBP 2009 13.3 inch? Regards

    Do you think the New MacBook Pro will have up to 32GB RAM?

    It almost makes so much sense to have the option of up to 32GB RAM that it wouldn't make sense to only offer up to 16GB The Dell XPS 15 is the direct competition and it offers 32GB, and user expandable at that! 16GB would be ok with me but would it ever be great to have 32GB or at least the...
