ram

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...

Hey Mac community! Hardware upgrade question here: I just purchased an early 2019 iMac, and I am upgrading the memory via OWC (Other World Computing). Apple states that the newest iteration of the iMac can support up to 64GB of memory, but OWC claims that they have successfully tested this...

This is homologous to the recent thread on PowerBook G4s with known bad RAM slots (and getting 2GB SO-DIMMs to do the work of two 1GB sticks albeit in one slot): I have an early-2011 A1278 MBP 13/i5/2.3GHz (Sandy Bridge), which is my Snow Leopard box. It runs with one 8GB PC3-10600 DDR3 1333MHz...

Hey, so I’m an enthusiast and super excited about the new Mac Pro. I’m reading all I can about it bc it’s fascinating to me how much creative folk (who are my clients; I’m a lawyer who advises artists, filmmakers, musicians, etc.) are craving this machine. I have no need for a machine like this...

Hey all- i'll try and make it short and sweet: I've seen some threads suggesting that DDR3 (NON-ECC) ram will work with the 5,1. People have apparently gotten it to work. Here are my current system specs: Mac Pro 5,1 (2012) 1x Xeon X5680 16GB 1333MHz DDR3 ECC Radeon RX 590 8GB I'm looking to...

Hi, I want to buy the new 16" MBP i9, but I don't know how much RAM I need to buy. The apps I'm using daily are : Firefox, Slack, Ableton Live, Spotify, VS Code (I'm a Rails dev)... Currently, my Macbook has 16go of RAM and I'm never limited. Should I stay to 16go or should I buy 32go for the...

Hello, So I've owned my MacBook Pro for a few years now. It is the non-touchbar version 13 inch of the MacBook Pro's released in 2017 and I'm very surprised because today for the first time in years of owning this wonderful MBP, the fans turned on loudly. And by loudly I mean they spun really...

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...

Hello, I purchased a 27" 5K iMac this last week with the standard 8GB of Ram. I have a 32 GB Ram kit to install. My question is, does the 8GB need to be removed? It was my understanding when upgrading Ram it would be in order as 8, 16, 32, 64 and so forth. I have read some folks are...

Hey there. So I've got a 5K iMac from 2017 with 8 gigs of ram and I recently just updated to the newest version of Mojave. After updating, however, I have next to no ram free at around ~1.5 gigs. Before the update, it used to be fast and snappy but now it takes a long ass time for anything to...

Considering the same lowest available price (here in me country) of 1600 USD for both, what option would be best and future proof if I’m not a video or photo editor, but I browse 15-20 safari tabs at the same moment, make notes, use messengers: MacBook Air 13, 2018 year, 2 cores, 128 GB...

Hi. May the owners of a MacBook Pro 13 2019 (1,4 ghz) look at ram load right after a fresh boot of your Mac. I guess most of you have a base 8 gb model. And what RAM usage do you see when you use at least 6-10 tabs in a safari? I consider a 1,4 ghz MBP 13 as a perfect choice. I need it to be...
