Compatible Memory Modules!

Planning to upgrade my RAM on my Macbook Pro 13” (Late 2009) from 2GB to 4GB.
Decided to add 2x Corsair CM3X2GSD1066 2GB PC3-8500 1066MHz DDR3 204-Pin SO-DIMM.
Just wanted to know if it’s compatible.
Thanks.

The problem is that I’ll be buying it from USA on my visit there, but as I’m staying in India, I’m open to buy only those brands which are available here.
Kingston
Corsair
Crucial
Transcend
G-Skill
Any help with these?
I bought myself Kingston memory for Christmas. 8GB $108 from the Kingston site. The memory works well without any issues so far.

Changing memory modules in Satellite M30X-165

The Notebook has two memory modules with 512 MB each module. I have received a used 1 GB module.
Can I remove one of the 512 MB modules and install the 1 GB module to get total 1,5 GB RAM or need both modules the same memory size?

According notebook specification you can upgrade your machine up to 2GB of RAM so you can use one 1GB RAM and one module with 512MB. Important is that you use 100% compatible memory modules.
Just for your info: compatible PC2700 1GB memory module has part number PA3313U-1M1G.
Make upgrade, test it and post some feedback.

Reusing memory modules

Can the 2x2Gb memory modules (to be removed to upgrade to 16 Gb) from a 2011 3.4 GHz i7 iMac be successfully used to increase the memory on a 2009 2.8 GHz i7 iMac?

Greetings,
Nope. 2011 iMac uses a faster form of memory which is not compatible with the 2009 logic board.
2011 uses 1333MHz DDR3 memory -- http://support.apple.com/kb/SP623
2009 uses 1066MHz DDR3 memory -- http://support.apple.com/kb/SP576

PC3-10600 memory modules in ThinkPad x61?

Hey everyone,
I own two thinkpads: X61 and T60. A friend of mine upgraded his thinkpad to 8 GB RAM, from 4, and offered to give me the Elpida memory modules. It's 4GB. I now have 4 GB in the X61, and 2 GB in the T60. I was thinking of installing the memory my friend gave me on the X61, and putting the current X61 modules in the T60, but the modules he gave me are pc3-10600. Will this run ok in the x61? I realize that is not going to run at the rated speed, but will it run ok, without any problems?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I am pretty sure that both the T60 and X61 use DDR2 memory. What your friend gave you is DDR3 memory, which is not compatible, as they are not electrically or physically compatible.
Compare your ram with the one your friend gave you, you will see the "notch" is in a different place, preventing accidental mixup.

Satellite Pro P100: What is the Toshiba part number for a 2GB memory module

Unable to find any way of emailing this question so I have posted it on the forum. Sure this info should be more readily available without having to ask.
What is the Toshiba part number for a 2GB memory module for a PSPA4E-00F007. That's for a Satellite Pro P100 T2400

Crucial Memory gives me this module - is that correct?
http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=A332E10BA5CA7304
Found this via Kingstons site - is this also correct?
http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx?QuickLinx=4P3V
Would really appreciate some official clarification here.
Many Thanks

It must be PA3513U-1M2G. You must check if this module is compatible with your notebook model. I think so.
Anyway I recommend you to buy high quality product like Kingston modules.

What's the best mac-compatible memory stick?

The 2Gb memory stick I've just bought won't store files that have a forward slash in the title, which means me changing hundreds of file names before I can use it. Is this standard or is there a more compatible stick that I can use?

Hi, SCWP, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
Your inability to use a "/" in filenames has nothing at all to do with the RAM module you've installed. Quoting from Mac OS Help:
You cannot use a colon (:) in the name of files and folders. Mac OS X uses this character to separate folders in pathnames.
In addition, some applications may not allow you to use slashes (/) in the names of items.
I suspect the applications that don't allow slashes in filenames are probably ones that write their files in cross-platform formats, so that a Microsoft Windows-based version of the application can open them directly. The slash and many other characters are illegal in Windows filenames, so it's best to avoid them on a Mac when naming files that may be shared with Windows users. Here are the characters Windows doesn't allow:
[ ] / \ = + ; : " , | *
Note that you've posted your question in a Titanium Powerbook G4 forum, and no Titanium Powerbook can use any 2GB memory module (Tibooks are limited to a maximum of 1GB of RAM, in two 512MB modules.) I don't know what Mac model you have, but in future you may get help faster by posting your questions in the most appropriate forum(s). All the Discussions forums are accessible from the Discussions home page.

Can I expand the RAM of an Equium M50 with 1GB memory module?

Someone told me that Equium M50 only recognise 512 MB memory module. The Toshiba manual does not specify. It is true?
Thank you for any help
Cheers

Hi Francisco
No, this is not correct. The guy who told this was not right and I assume he has no Equium A50 experience.
As far as I know the memory on Equium A50 notebook can be upgraded up to 2048MB.
So you have to use 2 x 1024MB (1GB) memory modules if you want to upgrade the memory to 2GB.
For me its clear. The Equium A50 recognizes bigger memory size as 512MB.
Do you know what modules are compatible and can be used???
On the Toshiba Options & Accessories website you will find the supported modules:
PC2700 512MB (PA3312U-2M51)
PC2700 1024MB (PA3313U-2M1G)
I hope I was clear enough ;)

Mixing memory modules on Westmere

Dear Hardware gurus,
I have a 12-Cores Westmere. Do you know is it possible to mix different memory modules on it, namely:
6x1 Gb 1330Mhz
+
2x4 Gb 1066Mhz
and if yes, in which configuration?
Thanks a lot for any comment!

Kappy, thanks for the note.
I am actually going to order some more 1333 modules, but just for the short time I have to work with what I have currently (see my original post).
As I posted above, I tried a bit already to combine the modules and Mac doesn't boot
Can you suggest a configuration, which will work?

Memory modules and hard drive not recognized

I removed and reinserted the factory installed Satellite L505D-LS5007 laptop hard drive and memory modules just as practice for installing a hard drive upgrade and an 8GB memory upgrade. The problem is obviously with the memory and not with the hard drive.
After the first practice try, one memory module was recognized. Also for a few seconds after the first practice try, I ran the PC with the battery installed, but no memory installed. I did not look in the User's Guide first to see that I should have removed the battery before removing the memory.
Now the System Indicator Lights for the HDD Activity and Memory Card Reader do not light up. The PC turns on and the display is solid black with no messages.
Before buying new memory modules, what possible ways might there be to get the PC to recognize the factory installed memory modules and hard drive again?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

When troubleshooting, I always change one variable at a time. I would hate to miss a solution by being in a hurry. In this case, you may have damaged either the RAM or the RAM slot. I would stick with the Toshiba specifications for the RAM, making sure it is the correct size, speed and type recommended. I also recommend that when you replace the RAM that both modules be from the same manufacturer, size, and specification. Try one RAM module in one slot and then the other. And then try both RAM modules in both slots. After the testing you should be able to figure if this is a RAM problem or a RAM slot problem.
In the case of hard drives, the real test is whether or not the Bios sees the hard drive. If the Bios doesn't see the hard drive, it's not going to work. The Bios should see the hard drive whether or not the hard drive is partitioned, formatted or has data on it. My experience has been that many Toshiba laptops will work fine with larger capacity hard drives provided they are the same speed in RPMs, have the same interfacing connection and physically the same size.
Again, prior to doing any work on your computer, make sure that both the AC power has been disconnected and the battery has been removed. Be careful out there. A blown repair job by a non-Toshiba tech is NOT covered under warranty.

Memory modules for Msi Big Bang trinergy

Hey forum,
i want to buy some memory modules for my trinergy mobo because the ones i had earlier also proved to be incompatible. I would like to ask you if there are any memory modules besides the ones recommended from the MSI site concerning my mobo. I am looking for a 2x2 gb ram kit with a heat dispenser so it can work around 1600mHz. Thank you in advance
P.S Is the list on the site the only one? i mean are there any updated versions of it with more high end memory modules tested?

Ideally you would provide us with your fullsystem specs first >>Posting Guide<<
From a memory perspective, the reason these modules have heatspreaders is mostly due to marketing and to impress the potential buyers. The secondary reason is that most manufacturers sell you overvolted and overclocked 1066 or 1333 chips on a 1600 marketed module that needs 1,65V instead of the standard 1,5V. Your memory controller is part of the CPU and natively only supports 1333 at 1,5V.
If you really insist, then at least get yourself a 1600 kit that does this speed at 1,5V. One of the modules that seem to work well are the CMZ4GX3M2A1600C9 from Corsair. From a user perspective, the mem modules from Crucial that you see in my signature come highly recommended as they have been proven to work on the P55 platform whenever used.

Mixing memory modules of different sizes in a Mac Mini

I have a MM Intel Core Duo with a 1.66GHz processor and 512 MB 667 MHz SDRAM. Model Macmini1,1, 32 Bits, SMC Version (system): 1.3f4.
Anybody know if you can mix memory modules in it? I have the standard 256 modules (2) and would take one out and replace it with a 1 GB one. Can this be done?
Thanks

Yes, you can do this. You will get a slight performance hit on video, but that will be more than offset 99% of the time by the extra RAM reducing overloading of the Virtual Memory system.
However, it is enough work to replace the RAM and RAM is cheap enough, that I'd recommend putting in two matched 1 Gig modules instead.
