Dv9380ea RAM Upgrade Possible?

Hello everyone,
I have a dv9380ea, about 3 years old, running a Intel Core 2 T5600@1,83 GHz with 2GB RAM on Window s 7, 32-bit.
I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade the memory to 3 or 4 Gb. I've recently added an external graphics card solution which has really made wonders for it, but I really feel it is lacking in memory.
Your help is really appreciated and please tell me if you need further information, I am happy to provide it.
Best regards,
Luís

Thank you very much for your reply Huffer.~

What is the maximum ram upgrade possible on a Mid 2011 iMac 21.5-inch

I have an iMac 21.5-inch, Mid 2011 running OS X 10.9.5 which currently has 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 Ram. The Hard Drive has 149.87 GB free out of 499.25 GB. It has been running slow for a while now. I would like to know what is the "TRUE" maximum Ram Upgrade possible. The reason I say "TRUE" is because the specs say one things when I find others saying another. I would like to install the maximum Ram that will increase the speed to its optimum. I have read some information that this particular computer will not take advantage of anything past a certain amount of ram.
So with all that said, I am asking for specific numbers, types of ram, suggestions etc etc...
Thanks

Here's what you can do and need:
Maximum Memory
32 GB (Actual) 16 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots
4 - 204-pin PC3-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
Sources for memory I recommend are:
OWC
DataMem
Crucial.com

IMac 8,1 2.66Ghz Core 2 Duo maximum ram upgrade possible

I have an iMac 8,1 2.66 Ghz Core Duo, right now I have 2Gb Ram, and I am going to upgrade it. Some forums suggest that it is possible to install a 2GB and a 4GB slot to get 6Gb, and some others says it is better leave it up to 4Gb. Can someone tell me if I should go for 6 or 4GB, I obviously prefere going for 6. Thanks

6 GBs is the max.
Correct and reliable Mac RAM can be purchased from online Mac RAM sources Crucial memory or OWC (macsales.com).
Here's the 6 GB RAM kit from OWC (macsales.com)

Is a 16gig/RAM upgrade possible 13" MACBOOK PRO 2.9ghz if so is it worth it or am I better off with a 15" MBP?

Forgive me for trolling on this topic but I wanted to be a bit more specific and get properly eductated before I make a final decision. I had a 17" and I f@cking hate it because of it's size.
I have been a mac guy for a few years but up until now I relyed on my tech/junior assistant to deal with all the tech stuff. He has now gone and on his own leaving me to get all techy again.
A little about me and what I will use the laptop for.
I am a photographer/film maker. I run CS6 very often sometimes daily. I usually have multiple picuture files open with multiple layers. Some images can range to a size of 600mb+. I shoot with cameras with no less than 18 megapxls. On top of that I may also have FINAL CUT PRO and working on short films. I generally have the habit of jumping back and forth between the two, plus get distracted with the web and stream videos. and the od video game (but not so much).
I keep reading that 16 gigs of ram is a possible upgrade on a 13" macbook. Is it possible? And if so, what sort of performance boost can I expect (in comparison to the 15" MBP? Also, if so are there any glitches that may damage the computer?
1. I travel quite a bit I really prefer the portability of the 13" MBP and want to avoid having to buy te 15" MBP
2. I am attempting to be cost effective (which may be a futile attempt)
All answers are welcome.
Thanks for your time and have a fine day Ladies and Gents.
Cheers

Thanks mate but it doesnt, answer the question about performance.
In terms of screen real estate, I don't care much for it as I usually work relatively close to the pixel sizes and I generally work in very dum conditions so the antiglare is something I also dont care for. If mac offered a Matt finish screen again it would be a dream lol.
Retina though sweet is really just a gimmick, stare at one screen, starred at them all, so I'm fine with the regular MBP.
And size does matter.

Maximum RAM upgrade possible on a mid 2011 iMac 27"

Can I upgrade my mid 2011 Imac 27" to 32 gb of RAM. Apple handbook says only possible to upgrade to 16gm (4x 4gb cards). Has anyone upgraded a 2011 Imac 27" to 32gb of RAM?

Yes, both OWC, http://www.macsales.com and Crucial, http://www.crucial.com offer 32 GB ram kits that are guaranteed to work...to do that you would be best to not buy from sources that are not Mac specialists and who guarantee their ram to work.

Macbook pro mid 2010 15" 16 GB ram upgrade possible?

I recently purchased RAM from Crucial.com for 8 GB and after having researched a bit online I've heard of users upgrading to 16 GB. Is this true?
Here are the specs of my cpu:
MacBook Pro 15" Mid 2010
OSX Yosemite 10.10.1
Memory 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
2.53 GHz Intel Core i5
Can anyone give me insight? I'm not very computer literate, but could use all the advice I could get. Thank you kindly

Good morning ipodsmut,
The MacBook Pro mid 2010 model supports up to 8GB of RAM. See this Apple specifications article -
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010) - Technical Specifications
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

15" Macbook Pro mid-2010, 16GB RAM upgrade possible?

Hi all,
I've been looking around all the support forums and questions asked etc..
But I can't find a definitive answer about support for the 15" mid-2010 MBP being able to use 16GB (and be stable).
I'm aware that it's perfectly fine on the 13" model, however I have the 15" i7.
From what I've been reading it's because of the motherboard/Graphics chip/EFI BIOS incompatibiity with anything more than 8GB. (Which is silly really, as the same Intel core i7 can have up too at least 32GB of RAM on any none-Mac system.)
Have Apple not pushed out an EFI BIOS update that could allow the use of 16GB RAM?
If this has been clearly answered elsewhere (and I haven't found it), feel free to point me in the right direction.
Thanks, Jon.

Unfortunately, 8GB is the limit. I have the same machine. Why it works on the 13" and not the 15" is ridiculous, but that's how it is.

What is Maximum possible RAM upgrade?

I have a Macbook Pro , 2011, 8.2 , Core i7 , 2.4 GHz with 4 GB RAM. I need maximum possible RAM upgrade. I checked in www.eshop.macsales.com. They offer 16GB 1333 RAM. As it is about 150$, I want to confirm if the information is correct.

The max capacity you can currently stuff into two sticks is 16GB and the 2011 models can happily use it all. Speedwise you have to stick with the speed built into the logic board: 1067 MHz for 2010, 1333 MHz for 2011 and 1600 MHz for 2012. Faster RAM won't benefit the system and may even lead to timing issues and weird glitches. For the same reason, it is best to use Mac-certified RAM, that ensures the correct CAS timing.

1 x Video Card AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2GB for iMac 27" Mid 2011 661-5969.
CPU & RAM upgrade: I'm fairly certain this should go smoothly and work fine afterward, that is if I take the precaution and time needed during the process.
I will report back later in the week on my results, I'll post my before & after system info screenshot also. Wish me luck
Kenny

The culture is changing with the ability to upgrade the newer machines. I've noticed a lot of people on this forum more closed to the idea of upgrading, most are unaware it can even be done, which is sad in my opinion. Maybe because this is the official support forum. But the other mac sites are like what I'm used to in the past working with pcs:

the list goes on.
etresoft, we know that mac computers are the best...period. Hardware upgrades are also better for some of the same reasons that make apple computers better; not as customizable -- only certain upgrade paths are possible. Upgrade process more difficult because of mac's intricate design. But once you do the upgrade right, it just works beautifully. And you extend the life of you machine another two years at less than half the cost of getting a new mac.
Open you mind brother. Apple has done everything right, this is just another part of their strategy and I think it's great.

M30X-122 RAM upgrade

Hi,
I want to upgrade the RAM of my M30X-122 notebook. I took a 1 GB RAM Modul, which should be compatible (PC133 CL 2.5 PC2700).
The bios recognoizes the RAM correct. Memtest doesn't find errors, but my windows (XP Pro) is very unstable now.
Every two minutes the notebook crashes with various error messages (Application error, shutdown error "IRQ_LESS_OR_EQUAL" ....
They all refer to hardware problems, but according to memtest the RAMs is ok.
Does anyone have some advice?
Thanks a lot
Peter

Hi
Well, its not very easy to say why it happens. But according to your description the issue occurs after the ram upgrade. I dont know if how you have checked the memory but its possible that the module has a fault despite of memory test.
You should check if this error appears with different memory modules.
I have found a information that these modules are compatible:
PC2700 256MB (PA3311U-1M25)
PC2700 512MB (PA3312U-1M51)
PC2700 1024MB (PA3313U-1M1G)

Photoshop not registering my RAM upgrade.

Hi there. I recently doubled my RAM to 4GB but PhSp performance preference says 1634MBs are available. Is Photoshop not registering the RAM upgrade; is there a setting I can update?
My PC operating system registers the RAM upgrade under control panel and I've set the boot drive virtula memory to 500-1500MB.
Any ideas out there?

; I wish I could remember what it registered as available before the upgrade to knoe if it evens knows there's a difference! Thanks again!

I see you tagged PS CS 5.5 . Are you trying to use the 64-bit version?   If you only have 4GB on your machine then it is possible that your computer is reserving some of its memory for the operating system and PS puts a cap on how much it uses so as not to encumber your machine. At least that's my guess. I'm not as technically savvy on memory with PS as some others on this forum. But I do know that the 32-bit version of PS will NOT see above 4GB of RAM so try the 64-bit edition if you have a 64-bit OS.

U310 RAM Upgradable? Voided Warranty?

Hi --
I am a tentative Lenovo buyer and was am set on getting the U310 Ultrabook. I do notice though that it only has 4 GB of RAM. I would ideally like to upgrade this upon getting the laptop. Is this possible? I have researched it and cannot find any answers for this particular model. I just do not want to buy the laptop and find out that it does not have an extra slot to upgrade the RAM so I am stuck with 4 gig. If this is the case, then I may just spring the extra $100 or so and get the U410 Ultrabook.
Secondly, will doing anything like this by myself void the warranty? I certainly would not like that to happen.
Let me know and if anyone has any advice on the U series; I'm hoping to buy today before this sale is over.
Thanks!

I just upgraded and wanted to share some notes. The quick answers are:
- Yes, opening the case voids the warranty (and needs to be done carefully)
- Yes, the machine can run 8GB of RAM
- and (bonus) you can use the mSATA SSD drive as a regular SSD drive--and upgrade it as well
The only potential hiccup is that you may need to flash BIOS version 65CN21WW for the RAM upgrade to work. Initially my machine would not boot or POST with the 8GB stick. After flashing this version things went smoothly (aside from needing to re-apply BIOS settings to get Windows 8 to boot again).
Here's more details:
- my machine is the non-touch screen i3 based system
- I used the Crucial memory advisor to locate the 8GB stick of RAM and a 240GB mSATA SSD
- There are useful YouTube videos showing how to remove the back panel. Basically you pry off the rubber feet, unscrew the 4 screws you'll find, then (VERY) carefully work your way around the space between the back panel and the silver plastic
For my dual-boot setup:
- Fully shutdown Windows (being sure not to use Intel Rapid Start--you want it to be a complete shutdown)
- In the BIOS disable IRST
- Switch the drives to AHCI mode in the BIOS (you'll need to reload Windows after doing this)
From there I installed Windows 8.1 to a 250GB partition on the 500GB spindle drive. Ubuntu GNOME 13.10 went on the entire SSD, with the other 250GB of the spindle drive available for slower-speed storage. With my increased storage I'll be considering if both OS's should reside on the SSD for performance, with extra storage on the larger drive.

RAM upgrade on HP EliteBook 8730w

Hi, I just bought two new hynix 4GB SODIMMs (4GB 2Rx8 PC2-6400S-666-12) and tried to install them into my laptop without luck. The computer starts with black screen and after a second or two the numlock and caps lock indicator LEDs starts to flash in blocks of three. The computer won't boot past this. From what I can gather 8GB RAM upgrade is possible and the mentioned RAM should be the correct one. Could either or both RAM sticks be faulty? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi,
Generally, it's best to upgrade memory with matching modules so a suitable upgrade can be seen on the following link.
http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=Pavilion%20dv6-3225dx&Cat=RAM
If your notebook already has 1 x 4Gb Module and you just wish to purchase an additional one, use an application such as CPU-Z to match the specifications to your existing memory ( check the Memory and Spd tabs ).

Another RAM upgrade question

Hi everyone,
I know there seems to be lots of RAM upgrade questions here but hey thats what forums are for.
I'm looking to upgrade my macbook's RAM it's currently got 2GB (2x1GB)
Is it possible to purchase 1x4GB and put that with one of my current 1GB sticks to create a total of 5GB?
I would be interested to know if this is possible or if anyone has tried it.
Thanks in advance
Scott

This will work if your MacBook is late '07 or newer.

Where can I go to in Apple to get my RAM upgraded?

I'm still under AppleCare, and I have 4GB of RAM already.
It's a bit laggy, and I was thinking of upgrading to an SSD hdd and more RAM.
Is that something worth doing?
Will I void my AppleCare? Else, where do I go to upgrade and yet still keep my AppleCare?

I understand that you can do the ram upgrade yourself. this is considered a user option and will not affect warranty provided you take the usual precautions of disconnecting power and if the battery is removable do this also. Then make sure that you touch the case of the MBP before handling the ram - to discharge any possible static on your body. Don't touch the pins of the chips as this can damage the chips.
I'm not sure whether replacing the hdd with solid state comes in the realm of user replaceable. If it fits in the same mount & uses the same connectors I guess it might.
The advantage of solid state is that it is very fast and unlikely to fail as there are no moving parts.
