Adding more RAM to Intel GMA 950?
So I've had my iMac (see bottom of post for specs) for a while now and I love everything about it, except the Intel GMA 950 intergrated graphics. It works, but as far as games go, I can hardly play Halo. It's gotten better since 10.5.6 seeing as it boosts graphics performance, but it could be better.
I'm aware that it's VRAM is shared with system memory, so is there any way I can give the chip more of the system RAM to use? 2gb is plenty, so I'm willing to share some. Any help is appreciated.
Jerroslaw,
since you’re running Mavericks, open up Activity Monitor while you’ve got your usual selection of apps running, select its Memory tab, and look at the Swap Used setting in the lower left. If it’s displaying “0 bytes” as the amount of swap used, then extra RAM won’t make a difference. Otherwise, to answer your first question, whether it’s worth it or not depends upon how frustrated you are running your usual selection of apps with 4 GB of RAM. It might be that the cost of replacement RAM modules outweighs your level of frustration — only you can make that determination of worth. I would recommend that if you do choose to purchase replacement RAM, that you get a pair of matching modules — either 2 × 4 GB = 8 GB, or 2 × 8 GB = 16 GB, to replace the pair that is currently installed.
For your second question, you don’t have to use Apple-brand RAM, but you do have to use RAM with the same characteristics as your factory-installed RAM uses. Any worthwhile purveyor of RAM for Macs will let you easily locate modules that are compatible with your Mid 2012 MacBook Pro.

Increase RAM for Intel GMA 950?
I have an '06 white Macbook that could use an upgrade from 64mb to at least 128mb. I have 2GB of RAM so I should be able to contribute more RAM to the graphics, however this cannot be changed by default. I have tried downloading a program called GMAbooster, but the download is unavailable. Is there any way to bump up the graphics on my Macbook? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I suppose I do, unfortunately this was back when I didn't know a whole lot and also considering the vendors don't like to list complete graphics specs. Aside from that, This is a link to the same graphics core however this one was made for Windows...
http://www.intel.com/products/chipsets/gma950/index.htm
It supports up to 224mb of VRAM! There has to be some kind of firmware hack to allow it to use more of the physical memory on the mac os. -
Is 1GB RAM Macbook + Intel GMA 950 graphics card enough to play WoW ???
im thinkin to buy macbook, but im not sure is it enough to play WoW or not ?? has any1 tried to play WoW in macbook ?? is it lagging or not ??
please reply. ThxI installed WoW on my daughters MacBook white 2.0 GHz today. I bought it from the local Apple reseller and paid for 1 GB of RAM - instead of putting in 2x512 sticks, they took out 1 of the 256 MB sticks and inserted a 1 GB, so the machine has 1.256 GB of unmatched RAM - this may have an effect on the graphics performance, I'm not sure.
Anyway - frame rates at full resolution and using the default video options gives about 25 fps inside an inn, and about 12 fps outside. Running across a bridge or doing something else that puts a lot of changing detail on the screen can cause the fps to drop to around 10. The game is quite playable, though I haven't tried a raid with it. Changing the screen resolution will increase the fps. Changing to 1152 wide increases the fps by about 50%, while changing to 1024 wide will about double it.
At 1024 wide, the fps is about the same as on my 1.25 GHz PowerBook running at 1280 wide. -
Upgrade graphics RAM, Any idea. My MacMini Have only 64gb an i meed more. How can i do this?
Hey,
The Intel GMA 950 graphic chip is integrated, so it cannot be upgraded at all. The only thing you can do to improve graphics in your mini is to get as much RAM as you can --which can be from 2 to 4 gigs, depending on the model.
Best,

My iMac is 2010. Over the last 3 - 4 months its started to slow down a bit. I realize sometimes thats just the way things are but I am wondering if there is anything I can do to help. It seems that everything is a bit slow on startup/wakeup. It takes about 5-10 seconds for things to get rolling, that doesn't bother me that much, I can handle it, just pointing out that is different from 3-4 months ago. Once things get rolling its fine.
iPhoto on occasion slows down, but again for the most part its ok. It's iMovie that really seems to lag. I realize of the things I am using iMovie is probably the most "powerful" program I am using , dealing with all the video files, but it has become very tedious to use. I've tried to "clean up" things a bit and that doesn't seem to really be helping. I am wondering if adding more RAM would help. Currently I have 4 slots filled with 2 GB of Ram. I think thinking of upgrading 2 of those to 4GB.
I guess I am wondering if that would make a difference? I know in theory adding more "juice" will make things run faster but for the most part the computer does run ok on its own, its iMovie that lags. It it simplky because its a more powerful program and adding more juice will help. Or do we think something else is going on?

64MB GeForce FX Go5200 vs. 64MB (shared) Intel GMA 950 - Which is better???
I currently have a July '04 PowerBook G4 w/ a 64MB GeForce FX Go5200 with 768MB of main memory
I'm thinking about purchasing a MacBook (Black) with Intel GMA 950 graphics processor with 64MB of DDR2 SDRAM shared with main memory
1- Which graphics processor is better, which will yeild "better" graphics?
2- What does it mean "shared" with main memory, is this good or bad?
3- I was planning on getting 1GB of memory for the MacBook, I don't need 2GB's as I have that in my iMac. How much of my main memory will be drawn on to perform graphics tasks and will I need more than 1GB to get the 1GB feeling?
Thanks in advance,

24" iMac / PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)Welcome to the discussions!
While I do not have exact numbers, the GMA950 is quite a bit better than even a more recent video card than the Go5200. Arc Technica did a review of the MB back in May and in their benchmarks, they found that in some cases the MB beat the MBP.
That said, you will really only notice the difference if you were gaming on the MB.
The shared memory simply means that a portion of the system memory is set aside for the graphics. Generally, it is considered bad, but again - for gaming.
According to Apple, the GMA950 uses 80GB of the system memory, but can use more depending on the system's needs. -
My ibook has 512MB's of RAM. I am happy with this. However since next year I plan to return to school to get a Masters in Ministry, I may need more RAM. From 2001-2005 while I working on my undergrad I used a Performa 6360 which had 136MB's of RAM + RAM Doubler. I was able to run some 20 apps at one time (or more) without a major slowdown. I cannot do this with Tiger, and since I plan to get the OSX version of Dave to access other PC's on the network (since whatever is built int OSX pales in comparison to Dave). On my Performa 6360 Dave was a necessity, since the campus dumped using Macs in 2002. I remember my 1st year (2001-2002) I could access a number of Macs on the Appletalk network at the time. But after the Fall 2002 semester the mac got dumped. Some students still used Macs, but fewer and fewer used them in the 2003-2005 years.
So my question is. Will maxing out my ibook to a gig of RAM although me to run some 20-30m apps at one time (like I could on the Performa) or was OSX Tiger just not designed for this?
OSX Tiger is much better than OS 9.1, but not in all areas as OS 9.x and before do have their advantages over Tiger.

Actually, OS 9 does not have any advantage over OS X. You had 136 MB of ram plus RamDoubler, why do you think 512 MB of ram will be less adequate?
RamDoubler merely did what OS X does as part of how it works. It did not give you more ram it just allocated more to the app up front while dropping background apps as low as possible. This is what OS X does.
If you were running 20 - 30 apps with 136 MB of ram then they weren't ram hogs at all and it's very likely you can run them without adding more ram now.
OS X handles virtual memory much better too. In the old days I could run 2-3 apps at a time, now I can run 10-12, and most of mine are major ram hogs like Photoshop.

Adding more RAM to Macbook Pro mid-2012
Hi!
I have a question about adding more RAM to my mid-2012 MacBook Pro (without Retina). I've been doing some video editing with Final Cut, and I'm using quite many apps on the daily basis. I have the standard configuration with 4GB of RAM (2x 2GB) but I guess I should upgrade it, shouldn't I?
I had that idea in mind: buying extra 8GB RAM instead of one 2GB, so I'll end up with 10GB of RAM. If it won't be enough and I'll have some extra money, I will add another 8GB instead of 2GB, so I'll have 16GB.
First question - is it worth it?
Second question - can I add any RAMs supported by Macs? For example I'll leave one 2GB that I have already, and add 8GB made by, let's say, Kingston (I guess they are supported and they have good price in my country). Will this work fine? Does it make sense?Jerroslaw,
since you’re running Mavericks, open up Activity Monitor while you’ve got your usual selection of apps running, select its Memory tab, and look at the Swap Used setting in the lower left. If it’s displaying “0 bytes” as the amount of swap used, then extra RAM won’t make a difference. Otherwise, to answer your first question, whether it’s worth it or not depends upon how frustrated you are running your usual selection of apps with 4 GB of RAM. It might be that the cost of replacement RAM modules outweighs your level of frustration — only you can make that determination of worth. I would recommend that if you do choose to purchase replacement RAM, that you get a pair of matching modules — either 2 × 4 GB = 8 GB, or 2 × 8 GB = 16 GB, to replace the pair that is currently installed.
For your second question, you don’t have to use Apple-brand RAM, but you do have to use RAM with the same characteristics as your factory-installed RAM uses. Any worthwhile purveyor of RAM for Macs will let you easily locate modules that are compatible with your Mid 2012 MacBook Pro. -
Will adding more RAM to my Power Mac G5 make a difference?
I have a Power Mac G5 (Late 2005) with 1 GB of RAM, which is how I ordered it. Sometimes when I am viewing large (large viewing size) video files with Quicktime, the video files get a little choppy from time to time, especially when I have many other applications open. Will adding more RAM fix this or is it not really necessary? Also, does Leopard improve this problem? I am currently using Tiger.
Hey Tim
I'm definitely not an expert - but more Ram makes a huge difference. I'm not sure if more Ram will specifically solve your Quicktime issues or whether upgrading your graphic card is really the answer. Those more knowledgeable should jump in here. Buying Ram from 3rd parties, like OWC (making sure you do have the right compatible Ram), will improve your performance immediately. I noticed the difference when maximizing the RAm on my G4. It cannot hurt. 4GB of Ram for my G5 cost less than $200. I think Ram is the biggest bang for the buck.
Do you really need to get Leopard? The performance of Tiger on the G5 for me is solid. Seems like Tiger is optimized at this point for the G5 processor chips. Why muck around with all the potential problems you read about on these forums. Check out the Adobe forum and hear some of their nightmare stories. Who has this amount of time to waste on fixing what shouldn't need fixing in the first place. Just a thought - hope I'm not out of line for chiming in on this.
Since your model can take 8GB of Ram, indulge yourself and maybe buy another 4GB of matched Ram and if it doesn't solve your Quicktime issues, I'll bet it will make you happy with everything else.

Will adding more RAM reduce system overloads?
I'm running Logic Express 8 on a mac mini (core 2 duo) with 2GB or ram. I was thinking of adding more RAM (4 or 8GB). I tend to see "system overload" errors often. Generally, rebooting seems to fix the issues. Do you think adding more RAM would make any difference? Generally I have maybe 15-20 tracks.
ThanksNo, unless the overload has to do with RAM, which it ususally hasn't.
Nevertheless, adding RAM is a very good idea to help instruments with high RAM requirements like EXS24.
To reduce system overload:
- let Logic be the only open application
- if necessary, raise the audio buffer in the preferences to the next higher value.
- while playing back, have an empty audio track (or the master track) selected.

Adding more RAM video tutorial?
Not long ago I added another hard drive to my Mac Pro and to do it I reviewed a Quicktime video that offered step by step instructions. It worked great. I found it somewhere on the web but I don't know or remember where.
Now I want to add more RAM and it has arrived from Crucial but their online picture instructions appear to be for the older PPC machines and not the newer Intel Macs.
I'd like to try and find a video that would show me where to find the RAM on my Mac Pro and how to install it.
Does anyone know where I might find a quick video tutorial?
JohnOkay, additional 2 gigs are installed. Tell me if this is the correct setup:
DIMM Riser A/DIMM 1 1GB DDR2 FB-DIM 667MHz OK
DIMM Riser A/DIMM 2 1GB DDR2 FB-DIM 667MHz OK
DIMM Riser A/DIMM 3 512MB DDR2 FB-DIM 667MHz OK
DIMM Riser A/DIMM 4 512MB DDR2 FB-DIM 667MHz OK
DIMM Riser B/DIMM 1 512MB DDR2 FB-DIM 667MHz OK
DIMM Riser B/DIMM 2 512MB DDR2 FB-DIM 667MHz OK
DIMM Riser B/DIMM 3 Empty Empty Empty Empty
DIMM Riser B/DIMM 4 Empty Empty Empty Empty
If so - if I buy two more 1GB sticks do I shift the 512 from A/3 and A/4 and move to B/3 and B/4 then place 1GB each in A/3 and A/4?
Thanks,

Adding more RAM to Lenovo ThinkPad S430
Hey guys
I've read the guide on how to add more RAM to my laptop (http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=PD024449), but I still got a question.
Do I have to remove the battery before adding the memory, or is it enough to just have the laptop turn off. This is the first time I'm doing this so I want it all to be perfectly safe for my system.
Cheers.
Øyvindthere is an option to disconnect the battery within the bios menu, this would allow you to do once off RAM upgrade. It automatically resets the battery to reconnect after you restart the laptop.

HELP: Question on adding more RAM to my 2X dual core 2.66 Xenon MacPro
Hi,m
I current;y have 6GB of RAM in my MacPro and want to add a bit more.
Right now I have 4 X 512MB strips and 4 1GB strips for a total of 6GB
I was thinking of adding 2 X 2GB strips to replace 2 of my 512MB strips which would give me 4 1GB strips, 2 2GB strips and 2 512MB strips filling all slots on both risers.
What is the proper order in which to place the memory strips? 2GB strips in slots A&B on the top riser and the rest paired wherever... or is there a specific order these need to be in?
Should I remove the 2 remaining 512MB strips altogether and leave 2 empty slots?
I have heard that adding more memory improperly can in some cases actually slow things down.
My MacPro is running the 32BIT EFI... but should be able to address all RAM up to 4GB per core. ( 12GB total)2006: symmetrical quad sets are ideal.
4 x 2GB + 4 x 1GB / even 4 x 4GB
The bad config is 6 DIMMs, yes.
More than 4 DIMMs = higher latency
There is no "per core." You can have up to 32GB (8 x 4GB).
WHY do you want more and what will this do for you?
Are you using CS3 or later? then yes 6GB is minimal.
Do you show page outs and swap files being used?
