ram

I’m about to for these new MBPs… For the new M1 MAX Chip, why would one use 64GB RAM over 32 GB of RAM? What are you specifically using it for? What applications if any specifically you found 64GB helps/is really needed? Any thoughts on having that amount of RAM?

I'm thinking of just the BASIC 16" MBP, 16 core GPU, 16GB RAM and 512 GB or 1TB SSD but am also considering soon buying X-Plane 11/12. I don't intend to run anything else that is 'heavy' (at the same time) but, other than gaming, need some RAM to work with spreadsheets. I kind of understand...

I bought 2x8GB RAM sticks for my late 2015 iMac that came with 2x4GB sticks of RAM, I put it in but the machine doesn't boot, I searched and found the RAM sticks have to be inserted in certain order, so it now ends up like this: I read from somewhere that the RAM sticks have better performance...

I was a happy camper with my Air m1 512gb/8Gb of RAM on macOS 11.2. Even though my usage got me close to 100% used, i couldn't care less because i was really making it work hard with tons of tabs open in every software while driving 2k external - so 2 displays. But then i fall a victim of OS...

Sup. While ram management might be good on macOS ,and aarch improving it further ,8gb isn't actually "enough" on current M1 lineup . Which makes me wonder ,will 16/512 base mpb m1x models be enough for future proofing,assuming i plan on keeping it for around 6years+ ? As they are already very...

I have a Mac Pro 4,1 (flashed to 5,1) Dual CPU Tray and booted it up after being in storage for the last 3 months to find that Slots 3 and 4 of tray are not working; RAM installed in these slots are not detected by macOS. It is my understanding that slots 3 and 4 are connected, and if one is...

Hello, I think I have a problem with the compatibility of ram memory modules in the iMac 2020. Although all modules are of the same brand (Crucial) the same capacity (8gb) and the same clock speed (2666mhz) “see photo” when installed, the system does not work at the indicated speed but at a...

Hi! I'm on the fence between choosing a Macbook pro 13" from mid-12, with 2,5 GHz Dual-core Intel core i5 processor, upgraded with 16GB 1600 DDR3 RAM and 1TB SSD - or choosing a Macbook pro late -13, with 2,4GHz Intel Core i5, 8GB 1600 DDR3 RAM and 256GB SSD. The difference in graphics is the...

I'm looking to migrate to a new suite of productivity apps for my small business, and the Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Slides) is one consideration. I've used MS Office for many many years, but it's starting to become a little bloated and expensive for my needs. I want to move away from 365...

I know that this topic (heavy RAM usage in M1 Macs) has already been discussed, but nobody posted any RAM numbers in posts that I saw. I have recently transitioned from a Windows computer, to an M1 MacBook Pro. Activity Monitor is saying that I am using 5.97 Gb/8Gb of RAM with only a few tabs...

Hey all, I am still not quite sure about this, as there have been a few comparison videos so far and things weren't clear from those. is there really no noticeable difference at this point between the experience of having an 8 GB model vs a 16 GB model, except for storage?

I got a refurbished M1 MacBook Air from Apple and went for the 16GB of RAM. I look at the activity monitor and to my surprise 2.40GB SWAP memory is being used. Should I be concerned? I only have 11 safari tabs open. Nothing else really running in the background other than music. Thoughts? Thanks!

Haven't seen any rumors or discussions regarding RAM. Since they did 4GB and 6GB on the base and pro models, perhaps it's time to bump to 6GB for all models?

....to do some video and picture editing, office work, presentations, browsing and for watching videos ? or is it more like that I can run every program as good as with 16GB of RAM but can't open as many programs as on the 16GB RAM version? thank you.

Hey all, So here it is. iPads are out. One of the novel features this time is 16 GB of RAM. A very compelling upgrade, but what is it's purpose right now? What does it change about your experience? There have been reports about apps not having to refresh while they're all open at once, though...

hi folks, I have late 2008 Mac Pro (3.1) It has NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 card, so I don't get the boot / diagnostics screen. It was not booting up. The power light was flashing which I searched and found that to point to ram. It has two ram cards with 16gb each which is not that old (may 2019)...

Should someone be worried if they have a current iMac with 32GB of ram and the new iMac can only have 16GB of ram? I do a lot of video editing and graphic design. I realize the new M1 chips are a lot different than intel chips so maybe that's why less ram would be okay. Any thoughts on this...

Hey all, just got my new 2020 5k iMac yesterday and would like to add extra RAM as I currently have 8gb (2x4GB). I found someone on Offerup who is selling their OEM 2x4GB RAM that was from the same 2020 iMac as mine with 2667 frequency. Is it okay if I were to install 4x4GB RAM on my machine or...

Hello! I just purchased recently an ipad pro 2020 12.9 inches 256 gb. I updated right away to ipadOS 14.4 and just out of curiousity i downloaded antutu benchmark and on the device info on the RAM section, i saw 2gb free out of 6. And the only thing i got running was antutu. Then later on i...
