Extneding memory of MacBookPro1,1

what is the maximum amount of RAM i can put in my MacBookPro1,1
and what about hard drive maximum - limit?

you are right about the RAM. I have a 1,1 with a 320GB 7200RPM HD. There are also 500GB 5400RPM HDs available that will fit. Main issue is installation, which is not for the technically challenged, like me. I used an AASC.

    Hi doftin, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    I don't understand what you mean by
    It startsto reset itself while i amorking on applications like word excel photoshop.
    Please explain what actually happens.
    Do you have upwards of 15% free space on your HD? If not, this could be causing issues.
    Have you run Repair Disk? Boot from install disc (insert disc>restart>immediately hold down c key and keep holding it until you see “Preparing Installation”)>at first screen go to Installer Menu>open Disk Utility>select your HD in the panel on the left side>click Repair Disk at bottom of main window. Run this at least twice, and keep running it until it says “appears ok” twice in a row. If that doesn’t happen, you may need a stronger utility such as DiskWarrior or if the directory is damaged beyond repair, you may need to reinstall the OS, or you may have a damaged HD (repair utilities can only repair the directory structure, not the HD itself).

  • What would cause a MacBook Pro display to begin having a red cast to everything I view? MacBookPro1,1 Mac OS X, 1.3 GHz Intel Core Duo, 1 GB 667 MHz RAM

    All of a sudden my MacBook Pro (Granted it is an old computer) started having a red cast to the display.  All shading and shadows are red now.  Up until yesterday, I never had any problems with the display.  Is it just getting too old?  Computer works fine otherwise.

    Your install disk must look like this

    Those gray disks are machine specific and will only work with model of Mac that they shipped with.

  • Problem with threads and/or memory

    I'm developing an application where there are 3 threads. One of them sends a request to the other, and if the 2nd can't answer it, it sends it to the 3rd (similar to CPU -> CACHE -> MEMORY). When i run the program with 1000-10.000 requests, no problem occurs. When i run it with 300.000-1.000.000 requests, it sometimes hangs. Is this a problem with the garbage collector, or should it be related to the threads mecanism.
    (note: eache thread is in execution using a finite state machine)

    i had been running the program inside Netbeans.
    Running the jar using the command line outside
    Netbeans i have no more problems... Does Netbeans use
    it's own JVM?Depends how you set it up, but look under the options. There are settings for the compiler and jvm that it uses.

  • 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?

  • Lock ups and dumping psyical memory!!!

    Hi i have just installed a new pc most of the stuff im useing is from my old computer so i know they work fine im running a:
    P4 3GHZ Prescot 800MHz, HT-Enabled
    865PE Neo2-P
    512 DDR-400 Twin moss
    ATI Radeon 9000 pro
    PSU-400
    XP Pro
    My computer locks up alot when running intense games (games have worked before no problem) i also get a error saying dumping pysical memory, i have looked about and tried to solve this myself, i found that someone was haveing the exact same problem as me and he fixed it by turning the FSB down as his memory wasnt compatable with his motherboard if doing that works how do i do it ?
    Many thanks Jonathan

    Flappa, Your memory " clock" is fine and there is no need to "underclock it" as long as you did not mess with the Bios.
    I had the same problems. I could not even get thru a Clean install of windows as it would Blue Screen
    1- are you running in " Dual Channel Mode"?
    2- If so is your memory a " match Set"?
    some times memory even thought it has the same markings is not matched . Dual channel sets are matched and made to run together in "Dual Channel Mode"{
    ( Even though I had the same manufacturer memory my set would not run in Dual Channel without " Blue Screening" I bought a Matched Set of Kingston Valueram and have not had a problem since
    3- If it is not a matched set, pull one stick out and run it for a while , if it still bluescreens try the other stick
    4- raise your memory voltage to 2.7 or 2.8 ( which ever is the lowest that it runs stable)
    5- If all this does not work , run MEMTEST to see if there is a problem with both sticks
    6- you are running a Bios Version that supports the " Prescott Microcode" right?
    Let us know what your findings are
    Good Luck

  • Memory upgrade on Satellite M30-344

    Hi,
    i have upgraded my memory from 2 x 256 mb to 2 x 512 mb, but nothing works. i bought the ram modules compatible to pa3312u-1m151.
    this system doesn't boot, nothing happens. after reinstalling the old module, system starts normally.
    what can i do?

    Hi
    This case is very clear. You have used not compatible memory modules.
    As in the previous posting suggested, you should use the other compatible ram module.
    If you dont know where to buy this part so please contact the Toshiba service partner in your country. There you will be able to order the right part.
    By the way; I can confirm that the PC2100 512MB (PA3164U-1M51) is a right module

  • Memory upgrade on a Satellite A100-912

    I own a Satellite a100-912 and I want to upgrade its memory!
    As it seems, this model supports only PC2-4200 DDR2 SODIMM modules (533 Mhz). Before bying a memory module that might regret, I want to know if there will be any compatibility issues if I use to this laptop PC2-6400 DDR2 SODIMM module (800 Mhz).
    Is it going to work even at lower clock speed (533 Mhz) or is it going to be a total waste of money?

    As far as I know the FSB is able to handle 667Mhz modules.
    You can use lower modules (533Mhz) without any problems but modules with higher Mhz will not run with full speed due to the limited FSB.
    So I dont recommend buying 800Mhz modules. Firstly they are not supported and secondly its waste of money!

  • Memory failures on Ex000 servers with 256 DIMMS and OBP_3.2.30,POST_3.9

    Hi,
    In the past 6 months I have had problems with systems that have had memory upgrades using 256MB modules, although initially the upgrades have gone OK when a module goes faulty you get random CPU panics and the system will crash to the OK prompt or a system reset, at no point does any useful information get posted in the messages file nor does the bank get deconfigured, also if you run extend post diags the memory passes all tests OK.
    Any suggestions welcome.
    Eddie

    Eddie,
    Please run the following two Solaris commands and paste the results back here.
    # cat /etc/release
    # uname -a
    If there is a lack of information in MESSAGES, then there's a chance you may not
    have a sufficient Solaris patch level.
    The output of the two commands will guide us all a little bit better.

  • Memory problem on Msi x48c platinum

    Hi every body,
    I have a MSI x48c platinum mainboard,
    Recently i bought a ddr3 memory module (corsair CMX4GX3M2A1600C9) trying to upgrade my system,
    after replacing old memories with new ones, system didn't boot. Even bios setting page did not apear. So i installed old rams and by decreasing Dram frequensy at 1066MHz and then replacing old and new memories i managed to boot the system up and use the new modules.
    Now the question is that how i can use the maximum of ram frequency? Which setting do you recomend?
    I set everything else on auto at bios settings.
    If  you should know, i use an intel q9400 cpu.
    Here is an image of my bios setting page where all settings are shown:

    highest you will be able to use with your setup on the dimms will be 1333mhz with 2 dimms at timings of 9-9-9-24 command rate 2T at the most even if it boots at that frequency it may not be stable!
    With a frequency higher than 1066 MHz system can't boot,
    Quote from: xmad on 07-September-12, 22:59:26
    Try doing a full cmos clear >>Clear CMOS Guide<< after installing the new memory in the proper channel.
    By default that memory will operate at 1333 9-9-9-24 1t, see if it will boot after the cmos clear.
    There have also been allot of bios updates that provided for better memory support, i suggest seeing what version you have and flashing to the newest. (with your old ram installed to ensure stability.)
    I updated bios to last version (7.4), clearing cmos would default setting on bios thus system can't boot again.
    Quote from: flobelix on 07-September-12, 22:59:54
    Also try setting memory voltage to 1.65v and see if that works.
    Have been trying memory voltage up to 1.83v, but it didn't work with memory frequency higher than 1066...

  • Memory upgrade on Satellite L300

    I purchased a satellite L300 in august 08 in Australia. It came with a single 1Gb memory module which is now inadequate.
    I obtained 2 x 2Gb modules but cannot get it to work with both fitted. Bios reports 4Gb fitted but Vista reboots the first time then blue screens. Ubuntu Linux hangs after loading HAL.
    If only one module fitted it works OK and it does not matter which module is used.
    Any info on this would be most appreciated.

    Hi
    Either the chipset is not able to handle 4GB RAM or there is a compatibility issues between both modules.
    This is nothing unusual and happens very often that both modules cannot work together.
    In your case I recommend testing other modules.
    PS: Be sure that BIOS is up to date... if it's not up to date, then update it and then test both modules again...

  • Memory limitation on T61

    I have the following Lenovo notebook :
    Product: ThinkPad T61 8898-55G [change]

    I configured my Notebook with a Dual-boot Windowx XP Pro SP3 and Windows Vista Bussines SP1 (32 bit)
    I have 2x 512 MB PC2-5300 667 MHz DDR2 memory inside.
    I read on the Lenovo site :
     Memory Compatibility
    (**) Windows Vista supports up to 4GB maximum memory (32-bit versions of Windows Vista cannot support 4GB). Windows XP supports up to 3GB maximum memory
    I like to update my memory with
    2x 40Y7734 1 GB PC2-5300 667 MHz DDR2 
    or
    2x 40Y7735 2 GB PC2-5300 667 MHz DDR2
    I like to know if I choose for 2x 2GB , will :
    Windows XP SP3 work just fine only it works with 3GB instead of 4GB installed memory
    Window Vista SP1 (32-bit) with the 4GB (even not supported) work stable ?
    Because the prices of 1 GB and 2 GB won't change much nowadays.
    I prefer to use 2x 2GB modules, but I like to know will it work (even with the memory limitation) stable on XP or on Vista
    or it is better/safer to use 2x 1GB modules
    Can anybody help/explain me or advice me ?

    You're better off with 2x2GB, you may decide to run a 64-bit OS someday...and you will notice a difference between 2GB and 3GB when running a 32-bit OS.

  • Memory upgrade on Lenovo 3000 j100 (product number: 8254-E6G)

    First of all, sorry for my English (I'm trying to improve it)
    I run a Lenovo 3000 j100 Desktop with 1GB RAM with two modules of 512MB each one installed on the two slots that the mother board has.
    I want to upgrade that memory to 4GB, but I have some doubts about that upgrade that I need to solve before buying the new memory additions.
    I've read some commentaries about this topic and there are people who say that the maximum memory size for this models of Lenovo is 2GB RAM, I mean one module of 1GB on each slot.
    However, the manual says that these desktops can be upgraded to 4GB RAM.
    In consecuence, which is the maximum memory size supported by my Desktop's mother board ?
    Sorry for my English again, I hope someone could help me because I wrote this question to Lenovo support and this service answered that I had to read the manual, they didn't solve my question.
    Thank you for your attention.

    Many thanks for your answer, but the type of memory of my computer is not the same as yours.
    My Lenovo 3000 j100 memory sticks are not DDR2, they are DDR.
    They have a sticker with this text on: 
        NT512D64S88B0GY-5T
        512MB DDR-400MHz-CL3
        PC3200U-30331
