8GB Ram Upgrade for 27" iMac (Not Quad Core)

Hey guys, I have an iMac 27", not the quad core though. I want to know, what is the best UK retailer to buy 8GB of Ram for my iMac. I have 4GB at the moment, and I want to run FCP, and After Effects more efficiently, speed up Render time etc.
Where can I buy some from a shop that could be found in the Trafford Centre, so Curries/PC World , The Apple Shop, Selfridges, etc.
Any ideas about how much it would cost?
Also how much more would 16GB of RAM be?
Is it easy to install?
Thanks guys
-Bob

  • Where is the cheapest place to buy 8gb ram upgrade for my early 2009 iMac?

    Where is the cheapest place to buy 8gb ram upgrade for my early 2009 iMac, I have bought before but current upgrade is causing mac to crash randomly!? Need to know a place I can buy Ram which is confirmed to work my my mac model, the current upgrade is working but Mac is very unstable.

    I meant more reasonable priced than apple
    That'll be almost anywhere else then!
    Yes, if it is made by Crucial and confirmed as suitable for your model of mac you will be fine. You can also buy direct from Crucial:

  • 8gb RAM upgrade for 2012 13" MacBook Pro?

    I have a 2012 13" i5 2.5GHz MacBook Pro with 4GB of RAM running Yosemite. I'm considering upgrading to 8GB and was wanting to ask how much difference will it make to my computer's performance. The apps I use most are safari, iPhoto for RAW photo editing, iTunes, Xcode, Mail, Calendar and Pages. I'm also going to be using GarageBand soon. I would like to be able to use several of these programs at the same time. Would you say it is worth the upgrade?

    OS X Mavericks- About Activity Monitor
    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.

  • What is the best 8gb ram upgrade for my new (mid 2012) 15" MBP?

    4gb isn't enough, but Apple's official ram prices are just silly.

    I agree with RobotPi. Go to the Crucial website and click on the System Scanner tab. If I were you, since RAM is relatively inexpensive these days, I'd just go ahead and order 16GB. You may not use it all now (I use 12-13GB at the most) but you never know what the future may bring!

  • Value of upgraded RAM in imac 27" quad core

    Friends,
    I have a 27" imac i7 quad core on order. I do a fair amount of editing in FCE and Aperture. Does anyone have any sense of whether there would be a noticeable difference in processing speed if I upgrade the RAM to 12gb, versus 8gb or 4gb? Are there any RAM benchmarks out there?
    Thanks!
    Steve

    Well, yes, mixing & matching is fine, your system will run (of course, that assumes you have the correct kind of RAM ).
    Mac memory architecture supports dual-channel memory access. Depending on the model (G5, Intel Core/Core2 Duo/Quad Core), it uses 64-bit data paths or 128-bit paths. If the DIMMS are matched, you get the benefit of the maximum speed of dual-channel access. If the DIMMS are not matched the system has to revert to asymmetric mode, which is slower. How much slower depends on all sorts of things.
    Understand, that's not a complete technical explanation, but it hopefully makes the essential point. More RAM trumps matched DIMMS. However, you made a significant investment in your Core i7 iMac, if you're going to add RAM, why not buy matched DIMMS?

  • Hi, I am going to buy a new iMac desktop. I am going for the 3.4GHz Quad-Core Intel i7, 16 GB RAM and 2TB ATA Drive. I want to know whether I should go for the dual drives option i.e including the 256 GB SSD. I do a lot of 'heavy' media work. Brian

    by looking at the specs the laptop is better but if your not a gamer or graphics designer  then you most likly wont notice a difference in the performance at all so with that said a few downsides
    the processor is i5 the i7 processor is the better processor the graphics card has half the dedicated memory that the laptop has and the hdd compared to the solid state is not much of a difference unless you wanna move your computer all the time you wont need a solid state drive
    but like i said before if your not a gamer or graphics designer on your computer you will not notice the difference most likely

  • Ram upgrade for mac Book Pro mid 2009

    Hi, I just bought 2x Kingston 4GB ram upgrades for mid-2009 MacBook Pro. First I don't notice any difference in speed. Second, the computer (in about this mac, activity monitor) doesn't seem to acknowledge it now has 8gb of ram not 4gb. Why would these be so?

    You should be able to install 8GB I would check to make sure it has a secure connection. Maybe one of the RAM sticks is bad, or the port itself is bad.

  • Where do I find upgrades for my imac G4, 800 mhz for OSX?

    I have an IMAC G4 that is currently running OS X 10.2.8
    I need to upgrade my safari since it mis-reads some pages when using this IMAC. But I can't upgrade safari unless I can upgrade the OS X.
    I can find upgrades for 10.3.9 but can't install without upgrading to 10.3.
    No where on the apple website is there an upgrade to bring my 10.2.8 into the 10.3. Was this a major upgrade that required a purchase?
    My other mac is an ibook, running 10.3.9. Ideas on how I can find this other upgrade for my imac?

    Hello Kathy:
    OS X 10.2.8 is the last one in that release.
    "No where on the apple website is there an upgrade to bring my 10.2.8 into the 10.3. Was this a major upgrade that required a purchase?"
    The answer to this question is yes OS X 10.3 is a new release of OS X.
    If you are considering upgrading, I would consider OS X 10.4 The new Safari (2.0.1) is faster and has an RSS reader. You can go directly from where you are (10.2.8) to Tiger (OS X 10.4). I would suggest an archive and install if you decide to proceed:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120.
    Your iBook no doubt came with 10.3 installed. In addition to being illegal (according to the license agreement) your iBook install software would probably not work on your iMac. If you wish to get OS X 10.4, purchase a 'family' license. In that way, you may legally install on up to five computers in your household.

  • Upgrade for Pages says not available for this Apple ID

    I just bought new MacMini. Now upgrade for Pages says not available for this Apple ID, etc. Why? I did not buy the Mini from Apple store, but so what?

    Please test after each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes. Keep in mind that no one here represents Apple or can help with customer-service issues.
    Step 1
    A purchased app can only be updated by signing in to the App Store with the same Apple ID that was originally used to buy it. There's no way around that limitation, which also applies to free apps. If you can't sign in with the buyer's ID, delete the app and reinstall it. You'll have to pay for it again, if applicable.
    Step 2
    If you get the alert when trying to update a bundled iLife app, select the Purchases page in the App Store and locate the app in your purchase history. If there's a button marked ACCEPT on the right, click it.
    If you have a used Mac, the bundled apps were linked to the original owner's Apple ID and can't be transferred to you. Reportedly, customer service has issued redemption codes to some second owners who asked, but it's not guaranteed.
    Step 3
    If you're trying to update iLife or iWork apps that were installed from a purchased DVD, or if you have a refurbished Mac bought directly from Apple, contact App Store customer service for a redemption code. You may be asked for the part number of the DVD.
    Step 4
    From the App Store menu bar, select
              Store ▹ View My Account
    Enter your Apple ID password at the prompt. At the lower right corner of the window that opens, click the Reset button. Close the window.

  • When using Craigslist I keep getting this error: Warning! Domain mapping upgrade for this domain not found. Nothing I do works to fix this.

    Mac and Mac models are picky about the RAM the Mac needs to see and use.
    As you have found out, the 1067 speed RAM will not work in your year and model iMac.
    You need the 1333 speed RAM.
    If, you can return the RAM for a refund, do it!
    If not, try online Mac RAM source and seller Crucial memory. They have a table that matches your Mac to the correct and reliable RAM. You may need to contact them to see whether or not they ship to South Africa, though.
    If Crucial dpesn't work out, here's the specs for your year and model iMac that you need to seek out and purchase.
    Maximum Memory
    32 GB (Actual) 16 GB (Apple)
    Memory Slots
    4 - 204-pin PC3-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
    Good Luck!

    what is the best osx upgrade for a G5 2gig dual core for running music software please

    That box definitely needs an additional graphics card to run Aperture. I seem to remember the Nvidia 8800 GT as the one to get (~$60 at Amazon) but you need to verify that it will work in that old G5 because my recall could be faulty.
