ram

Since my 2017 iMac running Monterey has caught the kernel panic disease I'd like to check the RAM. It was suggested elsewhere that I try MemTest86. I followed the installation and boot instructions here: Creating A MemTest86 Bootable Drive..., but I can't get the USB drive to boot. I tried three...

I know that Macs use a lot of ram even when they aren't doing anything to be efficient but I've noticed that lately the memory consumption on my m1 air base variant has been around 6.4 gb along with high memory pressure(orange colour) from last couple of days even when I've just opened like 4-5...

Hey everyone, Currently running into a constant issue with my work desktop Mac Pro 2013 that we've tried several times to fix but keeps persisting. The model is a Late 2013 Mac Pro with a 3.7 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5 Processor and 32GB 1866 MHz DDR3 Memory (2x16GB sticks). Since I began...

I have a Mac Pro 1,1 -> 2,1 with 8x4GB ram sticks. As it’s usual for these machines I tried to swap them between raisers, slots, etc and consistently the raiser A (the top one) keeps not recognizing any RAM in both DIMM2 and DIMM4. While the same configuration in the raiser B is always fully...

I have a dual CPU 2009 Mac Pro 4,1 flashed to 5,1 latest 144 update with upgraded CPUs. I have 4 sticks of 16GB HP ECC RAM part number: 647563-081 (tested and running). I would like to purchase 2 more so I can combine them in triple channel mode. I found on eBay this very similar 16GB modules...

Hello, After Upgrading my iMac 2011 21,5 inch with a k2000m and a i7 2600s it beeps like 3 times. I determined the problem was the Ram with only 2 Ram sticks it boots perfectly. I tested the slots and only the down right slot isnt working. When a Ram stick is plugged in the iMac wont Boot and...

Hi I recent got a early 2008 20” iMac for free and was wondering. 1 if I upgrade the ram and put a ssd in will it be usable for light internet use and downloading small files. 2 is there a big difference between 4gb of ram vs 6gb of ram? 4 gb of ram costs 20 bucks and 6 gb costs near 70. Thanks...

I unexpectedly acquired one of these, and I believe it's probably this one. It came with 2 x 512 MB of RAM. OWC has RAM as usual, but now I'm slightly confused: Apple states that the maximum RAM is 2GB. EveryMac states that the maximum RAM is 4GB. OWC and EveryMac both state that while this...

Hello, Am I the only one noticing that since updating to 12.2, macOS is eating way more RAM for everything that it did on 12.1? Illustrator, Safari, WindowServer (as soon as plugged to the Ultrafine, this one grows on the 14'M1Pro, more than on 12.1!) etc The pressure on RAM used to be around...

Hi, I recently scored a 12 core Mac Pro 5,1 to replace my current 6 core model (I love company auctions, especially when the IT department can't be bothered to test equipment, and thus sell perfectly good computers as scrap :cool: ). My old 6 core 5,1 has four 8GB ECC ram modules, completely...

Hi, I have decided to buy the new 16" MBP but I need some advice to decide which configuration is best for me. M1pro 16core or M1max 24core? 16gb or 32gb RAM? 500gb or 1Tb SSD? I am an architect and I mainly use Archicad for 3d and render, Autocad 2d, Adobe Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator...

Recently I read that ram is shared between the CPU and GPU on M1 processors. Does this mean that some of my ram will be allocated to driving an external display? Wouldn’t the GPU have its own dedicated vram so that it wouldn’t cut into ram allotted to the cpu? 32GB of ram is what I currently...

Hey, I am trying to figure if these specs make sense for my current workflow of primary 4K editing, (10bit, maybe 12bit) with After Effects used once in a while for rendering in After Effects. I am a full time filmmaker. Macbook Pro 16" M1 Pro Chip 10C CPU 16C GPU 2 TB of SSD I am not sure...

With the new MBPs, this question is super-popular on these forums, and I see multiple posts spreading misinformation and FUD about 16Gb models, causing a bunch of people to most likely overspend of panic about their purchases. There is a lot of misunderstanding how RAM and swap files work and...

I’m sure I’m a bit misguided in my thinking, since I can’t find a good discussion about it on the inter-webs. Is Apple looking to completely eliminate the need for RAM with its Mx silicon? Specifically, the end goal would be to produce a computer with 0bytes of RAM but every bit as efficient...

I'm sitting here with my wife trying to configure her new MBP and we're having some debate over what to get. She is a virtual teacher so her computer is very important to her. It needs to operate smoothly and always be up to the task, no matter what it may be. On a daily basis, she is doing...

Greetings everyone, Context: - For the last decade, I've been using a late 2011 MBP 15'/ i7 2.3GHz/ 16GB RAM. Served me incredibly well, but has been running slower and slower for the past 12-18months (+ errors, etc), and now struggles significantly with gaming and multitasking. - I multitask a...

Hey all, I am super excited about purchasing the new M1 Pro MacBook Pro, but I'm not sure which configuration would work best for me. I mostly do video editing (4K footage) on Final Cut Pro X and minor photo editing on Photoshop. I usually have a million chrome tabs open though as well. So...
