How much ram can I put In a 12" 867MHZ?

Hi,
I've just picked up a 12" 867mhz Powerbook for a very reasonable price! My question is how much ram can i put in it? It currently has 640mb. Also if i can put some more in it will it run Leopard?

Bear in mind you can customise the install of Leopard to exclude some languages and particularly exclude printer drivers that aren't relevant to you, this will substantially lower the total required space. 12" Powerbooks are rather fiddly to work on - here's a really thorough guide on Hard drive replacement etc. for your Powerbook:

How much RAM can I put into my Macbook Pro?

Here's my info:
Model Name:          MacBook Pro
Model Identifier:          MacBookPro4,1
Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:          2.4 GHz
Number Of Processors:          1
Total Number Of Cores:          2
L2 Cache:          3 MB
Memory:          2 GB
Bus Speed:          800 MHz
I want to upgrade my RAM, as the computer is showing a bit of age at 3 years old now. I looked at this support page:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1270#link8
And judged the installation to be easy enough for me to do, but I'm confused as to how much RAM I can buy. The conflict I see is that "Additional notes" says I can use up to 8GB of RAM, but the table says only 4GB. What's throwing me off is basic math -- is that 4GB only referring to my slots (thus 4+4=8) or is it saying that anything over 4GB will not be recognized by my computer?
I spoke with someone at Apple, but he seemed a bit confused by my question, and eventually gave me a "yes" that was timid enough that I felt the need to post here. So, I'd appreciate the support! Thanks a lot, everyone. I'm just looking to not spend more than I need (in terms of buying excess RAM), and make sure I don't ruin my Mac in the process.

The MacBook Pro 4,1 can acces a maximum RAM of 6GB
However RAM comes in 4GB modules and you have two slots, so you install 8GB (two 4GB modules) and can only access 6GB of it according to MacTracker.
Use the free Crucial.com site to make sure your getting the extact specified RAM specs, you can buy it anywhere if you like.

How much RAM can I put in my mid 2010 17" MacBook Pro?

Hello-
I'd like to upgrade my memory. Would anyone happen to know how much RAM (the max amount) I can place into my mid 2010 MacBook Pro 17"?
Thanks-

8 GB.
Purchase memory from OWC / MacSales or Crucial. There may be other vendors of reliable Mac RAM but those are the only two I have used and can recommend.

How much RAM can i put in my MacBook Pro 13inch?8GB or 16GB?

I want to upgrade the RAM in my MacBook Pro and wanted to know how much is possible technically. I read 16GB are possible but Apple says 8GB optional.What is right?16GB or 8GB

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You have a Mid 2012 MacBook Pro. Apple says that it only supports 8 GB of memory, but the truth is that you can install up to 16 GB (2x8 GB) of memory on a Mid 2012 MacBook Pro.
If you want 16 GB of memory, you can buy memory in OWC or Crucial (Crucial is cheaper and offers the same compatibility as OWC). If you need help installing memory > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1270#link1

How Much Ram can I put in a MBP C2D 2.4 15" (08) (MB133LL/A)

Can I put 2x4gb modules? 8gb?
Link?

The maximum it is designed for is 4 GB, however OWC indicates it will address 6 GB. Look in your manual for the specifications. You don't say how much memory it currently has so I'll assume it has the 2GB it came with. To expand it I would recommend Crucial or OWC's memory however any memory that meets the specifications will work. Here is a link to OWC's site:

How much RAM can I put in my Macbook Pro (late 2006), and how much will it cost me?

I am currently running at a:
2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor
2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM in Memory
ATI Radeon X1600 256 MB in Graphics
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63) in Software
& it's a 15inch Macbook Pro incapable of upgrading to Mountain Lion.
I know i have a lot of limitations due to the age of this mac, but I would like
to know as to how far I can go with the one that I have. Please help.

Your MBP will be able to use a maximum of 3 Gb RAM. The exact specifications are: 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM. Best sources are Crucial and OWC. Their websites will have the prices.
Snow Leopard is an excellent OS. I have it on my 2010 MBP and have no intention of installing Lion/Mt Lion. It is stable and efficient, more so than the newer ones. Do not view that as a handicap.
You might also consider installing a larger HDD. Your MBP can handle the largest ones available to day (1 Tb). For a pre-unibody MBP, it is a bit harder than the current crop but achievable of you have rudimentary mechanical skills and a bit of patience. See the OWC website for excellent how to do it videos.
Ciao.

How much RAM can I put in my new MacBook Pro 313 2.4 Ghz I5 13.1"? I'm getting conflicting answers on Google search.

I just bought my first Mac after years of deliberation, and even working for Apple for over seven years since moving to the Bay Area. I can't believe I waited this long!!! I love it!
My owner's manual says I can only put, "PC3-10600S DDR3 1333 MHz Type RAM"
It also says I can only add two 4GB memory modules for a maximum 8 GB of memory. Yet, a website that gaurantee's fitament says I can use two 8 GB modules that are PC3-10600 (no "S" on the end) DDR3 etc... for a maximum of 16 GB. I only want to beef this thing up once, so can someone with more knowledge than me please help me out concerning this. And if possible, could you post a link to the actual memory?
TIA!!!

Yes, it is a little confusing. If your MacBook Pro is brand new, the limit is 16GB.

8GB as designed by Apple: http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/specs-13inch.html
Yes, but that is only because 8GB was the chip set available when they designed it. But there have been many times in Mac history when the Mac worked perfectly well with bigger chips released after the product launch. In the case of the MacBook Pro, 16GB RAM has been verified by pro users who have upgraded to 16GB without problems.
mhollman, here is the link to the actual memory. The company selling them has an excellent reputation as a supplier of Mac upgrades, I buy mine there.

Here is a reputable Mac blogger reporting the advantages of 16GB RAM, if your jobs are big enough to benefit.
http://macperformanceguide.com/blog/2011/20110309_3-Photoshop-MBP-16GB--news.htm l
The first time I went beyond Apple spec was with the PowerBook G3, 12 years ago. Apple specced 512MB RAM, but months later it was found that the PowerBook worked fine with the new 1GB RAM kits and I ran it that way for years.
Not all models can take more RAM than originally specced, but as long as you wait for the tests to come in and say it's fine, it's fine.

How much RAM can I put in a previous-generation (2008) iMac 2.4CHz

Hi Guys,
Silly question, but can I put more than 4GB of RAM in my 2008 model 2.4GHz iMac?
I have upped it to 4GB (2 sticks of 2), but wonder if you can get 4GB sticks for a total of 8GB (2 sticks of 4)?
I'm running Logic Pro 8 and with the virtual instruments I'm using, I could really benefit from more RAM...
Another question, do the just-released iMacs support more RAM?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

I have upped it to 4GB (2 sticks of 2), but wonder if you can get 4GB sticks for a total of 8GB (2 sticks of 4)?
No. The maximum is 4GB.
do the just-released iMacs support more RAM?
Yes, except for the education-only model.

How much ram can you put in a Macbook Pro 7,1?

I have what I thought was 2011 macbook pro, but when I just looked it up the 7,1 appears to be a 2010. Anyway, I want to max out the ram. OWC says you can put in 16GB of the DDR3 1066MHz SO-DIMM; here is the link: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/8566DDR3S16P/ Has anyone done this and does it work?

If OWC says it will work, it will work. The 2010 13" MBP can accept 16 GB RAM due to a relatively new firmware update. Other 2010 MBPs cannot (still).
Ciao.
Carefull on the specifications! They should be: 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM.

How much Ram can I put in my 15inch early 2008 Macbook Pro

Running a 2.4ghz Intel Core 2 Duo and currently 2gb 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. It has 2 slots, whats the max I can put in? What type of RAM do I purchase and who has the best Price on same.
Thanks
milehidef

The technical specifications from Apple say 4 GB but Mactracker says 6 GB. What I suggest you do is go to the OWC and/or Crucial websites and enter the serial number or other requested data for your MBP and get a definitive answer from them to see exactly what your MBP can handle. This may very well be one of those cases where what Apple originally configured the machines for was modified by subsequent tests.
Ciao.

Imac Intel 2006 How much ram can I put 2g or 4g

Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac4,1
Processor Name: Intel Core Duo
Processor Speed: 2 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 2 MB
Memory: 1.5 GB
Bus Speed: 667 MHz
Boot ROM Version: IM41.0055.B08
SMC Version (system): 1.1f
I mostly use it for recording and video and just recently its starting to hicup when running music applications. I want to max it out and was told only 2g but I wanted to make sure before I purchase the ram. I tried turning off applications that were taking up a lot of memory but it seems that I was still getting some hesitation among programs..
I currently upgraded to Leopard, 4-months ago and no hesitation never occurred till recently.
Does anyone know what application can be turned off so that I can have the ram only for big demanding programs.
I am almost maxxed out of hard drive space about 11gigs left..would that have anything to do with it? Should i just dump movable files on to my external so that the ram doesnt have to work that hard. When I check the ram usage almost all of it is being used. Any advice greatly appreciated.

If it's Core Duo (not Core 2 Duo), the 2GB (2x1GB) is the maximum RAM. If the identifier is iMac4,1, it is Core Duo

I am almost maxxed out of hard drive space about 11gigs left.
That is more likely to be the problem, not lack of RAM. When free space on the hard drive gets low, the remaining space gets more and more fragmented into tiny pieces, as you write new data and delete old data. When there is plenty of free space, you have a large blocks of contiguous free space. Mac OS X needs free space on the startup volume for its basic operations. It write and reads hidden files to do things like virtual memory (used when you are low on real RAM). Some of those files can get very large, and if the remaining free space is in tiny pieces scatter all over our drive, the system may start to bog down.
You should first off-load or delete data so that you have at least 10% of total capacity as free space. That may restore performance enough so that you don't need to get more RAM. Free up more space if possible.
Then, at some point, you should back up at least your personal data. Then erase (reformat) the internal drive and reinstall the OS and software. After confirming everything is running smoothly, restore your personal user data.
Note: It is possible the performance issue is caused by your hard drive starting to fail, or a data corruption problem. So if you do not have a good backup of at least your personal user data, you should make one now. Then, you can proceed with troubleshooting.

How much ram can i put in my ibook dual USB G3?

I am not sure if it has one or two slots available. Is there some ram soldered to the logic board? I am using this laptop almost exclusively for iphoto and just want it to be as fast as it can be.
Thanks
Tim

Depending on which model you have, there is either 64MB or 128MB soldered to the logic board. There is one expansion slot. The largest RAM you can get is 512MB, which will give you either 576MB or 640MB.
You can check the amount of RAM you have by going to System Profiler and selecting memory. That will show you what you've got.
You need either PC 100 or PC 133 144 pin So-Dimm RAM. Make sure it is Apple compatible.
