    MP 1,1-5,1 (Solved! Thank you!!) Mac Pro 5,1 is cool with 4 RAM sticks, but won't turn on with 5, 6, 7, or 8

    Ey mates! I have a cool old 5,1 that I wanted to inject additional life into. Long story short, it currently has 32GB of 1066 MHz DDR3 (8GB each in 4 slots next to one processor), and I bought 32GB more RAM (same size and specs, different brand) to fill the remaining 4 slots with. I've already...

    parents old iMac is slow, I want to speed it up.

    Years ago, my parents bought a base model 2013 27 inch iMac(1 TB hard drive). It was fast then but not now. It's not impossible to use but there are a few more beach balls than I'd like to see and the overall performance is just slow. It also has a crack in the corner but it's not a big deal. I...

    27" late 2013 iMac - upgrade or recycle?

    MY late-2017 27" iMac - 3.4 GHz intel Core i5 with 8gb of RAM and 1Tb SATA HD has outlasted any computer I've ever owned - MAC or PC. It is slowing down and cannot or will not upgrade to Catalina...and I "think" that the Mojave upgrade was a mistake. I do not need the best and the brightest...

    MP All Models RAM - Buyback UK

    Hey hive mind, wonder if anyone knows any companies who buyback RAM. I purchased an OWC 128gb upgrade kit for my 6, 1 MP but never used it. Seems a waste for it to be sitting here. I know the US have loads of buyback companies - but struggling to find any in the UK. Cheers

    I am looking to upgrade the memory in my Mid 2010 5,1 6-core Mac Pro and I want to get to at least 48gb. If I understand correctly it is best to use 3 sticks (like I am currently doing... 3x4gb) due to the triple channel memory controller. Is there really a noticeable difference in running...

    Resolved G5 Quad: Vanishing Ram?

    Earlier this week I booted up my G5 Quad to find only 12 of my 16GB Memory was showing up. I've had 16GB working without issue for 1-2 years now. DIMMs 4 & 5 were showing up empty despite that not being true. Haven't had to go fiddling inside for a long time so I'm surprised anything changed...
