Need 1GB RAM for Powerbook 1.67

I am looking for a 1GB RAM. Is there any recommendation?
I called the Apple store, they have it instock, but the price is $300. I tried to ask them what brand, but they had no idea. They said it's "made for Powerbook"
Also found a Kingston on eBay (KTA-PBG4333), and the price is pretty reasonable--almost half of what Apple sells, and comes with a lifetime warranty.
Is anyone using Kingston? Is it reliable and anyone recommend it?

Do also be aware that at least numerous of the hi-res Aluminums have really finicky memory slots and pretty much require the "factory original" Samsung's. When I first upgraded mine I got the 1GB OWC, which kept freezing my machine; sent it back for another 1GB, which couldn't be recognized; and finally sent it back to them and got the Samsung, which has run flawlessly. They tested the chips I sent back and they worked fine-- just not in this machine... (My uncle's does the exact same thing-- and based on the threads, a bunch of other people's too).
Thus, whoever you get it from, make sure they've got good customer support. In the event yours is one of the ones who need the "factory original" RAM, you'll want good people!

  • Need 4GB RAM for 2010 27 "computer where to buy it?

    I need 2  4GB RAM for 2010 27 "computer where to buy it?

    I installed exactly the combination you are considering in my 21.5 inch i-Mac a couple of weeks ago. I bought it from OWC based on comments and recommendations on this forum (and the fact that they are close to me as I was thinking of picking it up to save delivery time). As it turns out I had it sent, the RAM arrived the next day and I installed it in 10 minutes and it runs and performs perfectly.

  • UK RAM for Powerbook 15

    I posted my original question in the wrong forum!
    Where would be the best place to purchase extra RAM for a Powerbook 15 ? Do you think ebay is a viable source ?
    If not , where do I go and exactly what do I buy ?
    Mark

    Where ever you go to buy your RAM be sure to make absolute sure that the RAM you buy is specifically rated for use with your PowerBook. That is, the manufacturer explicitly states that the model RAM you are interested is fully compatible. If you do this then you are far more assured that you will avoid the issues that you see in these discussion lists.

  • Need a webcam for PowerBook G4 running Mac OS 10.4.11 -- help!!!

    Hi - i am looking for a webcam for my PowerBook G4 running Mac OS 10.4.11. No Apple service center or other computer store in India has any idea of what camera could work. Logitech sells the QuickCam Vision Pro for Mac, but that is too expensive for me. The ones I liked (from Logitech) are the Webcam C200/C250M/C500/C600 and the QuickCam for Notebooks - though I don't know if any of these is compatible with my G4.
    Any suggestions? I'm open to suppliers other than Logitech, as long as it does not cost more than $60.
    Please help me ASAP - thanks in advance

  • Desired RAM for Computer

    I'm not sure if I'm in the right forum, but I’m wondering if someone can help me understand. When I bought my laptop, it was the laptop for my line of work and there were two ram options – 4 and 6GB. I bought the 6GB. That was 3 years ago. I’m now hearing things that lead me to believe I don’t have enough ram. That would make sense with the high usage alerts and occasional slow response times I’ll get.
    I’m now learning that a graphic designer needs at least 8GB, preferably 16GB of ram on their computer. My question is – why? When I look up the system requirements for Photoshop, it only requires 1GB of ram, same with InDesign. The internet probably much, much less. The standard programs I’ll have open at the same time are Photoshop, InDesign and the internet. However, even if Photoshop if the only program open at that time, I might still get high usage alerts. I do realize that Windows 7 uses some ram too, but I’m still having a hard time understanding the logic behind 16GB ram. I don’t want to buy and install tons of extra ram just to do it. I want/need to understand why I’m doing it.

    More RAM is better.
    Much more is much better.
    Photoshop stores not only the document you're editing, but also history states, cache levels, and other maintenance data.  Plus certain operations need extra RAM for intermediate work products (Content Aware Fill is a good example).
    The larger (pixel count) images you work with, the more the RAM needs multiply out.  Use a deep data format and RAM needs double.
    If I were building a brand new workstation today I would prefer 48 GB of RAM, though realistically 24 GB would probably be "enough" as long as a really fast scratch volume is available.
    My current workstation has 16 GB of RAM.  I usually work with 10 megapixel photos in 16 bits/channel, and sometimes I stitch several together.  I use every bit of the 16 GB and quite a bit of scratch space.

  • Free entertaining/educational Kids games etc For Powerbook G4?

    Hi,
    I recently bought and renovated a stock powerbook G4 15" 1.5ghz mainly for use in our Caravan (should it ever rain while we're away! lol) and i was wondering if there are any educational, entertaining fun games etc out there that would run on the is Mac? My Kids are only 3 and 5 and i'm hoping the weather will be fine and there'll be no need but with the great British wether being what it is it could come in handy! I'd like something educational as well if possible, better than watching DVD's
    many thanks.

    Anything that will run in 10.5 PowerPC will run on the Powerbook G4 1.5 Ghz.
    Just need enough RAM for some applications. If you install 10.4.11 or less, you'll also have Classic compatibility, but games often have trouble running in the Classic environment, unless they state Classic compatibility. Most that run in 9 require booting into 9.

  • How can i allocate more RAM for my onboard video card on a 2011 macbook pro 13 inch running windows 7 via bootcamp

    I noticed that since Macbooks.. macs in general use an EFI instead of BIOS.  . .. Now i need to allocate some more RAM for the onboard video card since its currently running with an estimated 50mb.. I would like to increase this to 512  and cut the 3.95 down to 3.5 MB for the rest of the system ( allowing me to run more graphic intensive games and the such ... ) I know this could slow down the entire system.. ( i am aware of this ) and have gotten a 3rd party application to control and close out uneeded processes during gaming.. I just need more ram for my onboard video card.. Any help?

    You don't allocate more RAM towards your video card, you put more RAM into the machine and hopefully some machines will bump the CPU graphics RAM allocation up a little.
    The problem is you bought a integrated only graphics computer, if you want to 3D game you need a dedicated graphics computer with it's own or dedicated VRAM.
    If your this serious about 3D gaming, your on the wrong platform.
    Get a Windows 7 64bit i7 8GB RAM expandable 3D gaming tower with a good power supply and video card upgrade path, this way every few years you buy and stick in a new video card to play the latest games.
    Mac's are not gaming machines and never will be because they would last too long if we could upgrade them.

  • HT1342 so how do i know if i need more ram? (upgrade from snow- mt. lion)

    Here is the mac that i have. I want to upgrade from snow l. to mt, lion when it comes out. articles are saying that i will need 4gb even though the updae page says 2gb. how do i read the activity monitor to see if i need more ram for the update? or do i just need to wait, install teh update, and then check? I want to get this all done in the next month so help would be great!

    2 GBs is the minimum required. 4 GBs or more would be better. Your model supports up to 8 GBs.

    Reading system memory usage in Activity Monitor
    Memory Management in Mac OS X
    Performance Guidelines- Memory Management in Mac OS X
    A detailed look at memory usage in OS X
    Understanding top output in the Terminal
    The amount of available RAM for applications is the sum of Free RAM and Inactive RAM. This will change as applications are opened and closed or change from active to inactive status. The Swap figure represents an estimate of the total amount of swap space required for VM if used, but does not necessarily indicate the actual size of the existing swap file. If you are really in need of more RAM that would be indicated by how frequently the system uses VM. If you open the Terminal and run the top command at the prompt you will find information reported on Pageins () and Pageouts (). Pageouts () is the important figure. If the value in the parentheses is 0 (zero) then OS X is not making instantaneous use of VM which means you have adequate physical RAM for the system with the applications you have loaded. If the figure in parentheses is running positive and your hard drive is constantly being used (thrashing) then you need more physical RAM.
    Adding RAM only makes it possible to run more programs concurrently.  It doesn't speed up the computer nor make games run faster.  What it can do is prevent the system from having to use disk-based VM when it runs out of RAM because you are trying to run too many applications concurrently or using applications that are extremely RAM dependent.  It will improve the performance of applications that run mostly in RAM or when loading programs.

  • Can my Aluminum Powerbook G4 hold 2 x 1gb RAM??????

  • Why JSC 2 now needs 1GIG Ram instead of 512MB for EA?

    Hi all,
    What's the difference between JSCreator 2 and Early Access edition that require not 1 GIG of ram?
    I'm skeptic of installing JSC2 bcz of this.
    thx.

    ok, that's a Ooooohmm.. I didn't think my question would spark such a buzz..
    javaswed,
    I'm sorry if I offended you with my question.
    what are you doing in the J2EE department if you dont have 1GB ram in the first place ?.
    I'm just starting to learn Java and Creator 2.
    if you dont have 1 GB ram your hardly a serious developer anyhow.
    Well actually I'm not new to programming, I finished a computer class and mainly did HTML in Dreamweaver since 1999. And I don't consider myself a serious developer I guess here you're right. You will be amazed what my current PIII 450Mhz with 400MB ram can run on Linux. It load's JSC2EA on XP SP2 with another 35 processes running in 2:27 mins. I manily need for learning, tutorials etc. By the time I go for a production i'll buy myself a new pc.
    the comp hardware costs really is about 0 compared to what a software developers sallary is..
    I'm not a "Software developer" and you should remember that not everybody live in the USA. I'm 24 y/old and the truth is i'm in the bottom of the tire now and the days of working 1/2 hour a day and making $1.5k from advertising are gone.
    Times change...
    so if you cant affard a decent comp, something is major wrong.
    Maybe. Time will tell. I could have bought myself a new pc, I just decided to invest the money in something more important.
    You should also be aware of that the generall sweet spot for client performance has recently moved from 1 to 2gb of ram.
    this is something you should understand...
    I sold pc's on my last job, I do understand it :-)
    And really, arguing about these tiny amounts of ram for a developer machine is silly.
    Actually arguing about anything is silly. I didn't come to start an argue. :-)
    I came to look for help.
    I wish you all of the best. :-)
    Everybody, thank you very much for your kind comments and warm welcome!
    vspurlin,
    Thank you for your comment you actually answered my question. I will be able to run The new release of JSC2 on my pc for a learning purpose and tutorials for the time being.
    It may be a good idea to show on the minimum system requirements, The actual MINIMUM of ram required to run the program, lets say for learning and recommended minimum for production work. Otherwise in my opinion 1GIG requirement may deter a lot of people "planning to replace comp" of touching JSC2 in the first place.
    Thanks again, :-)
    Valentine.
