How do I find out how much ram my macbook has?

I clicked on hardrive and clicked info but it only says my hardrive space, I want to know my processor size and how much ram I have so I can add some more if I can
Thanks

or you could use the scan my system tool from Crucial:

I was being an idiot when I said the limit was 2GB. I wrote that on a macbook with 4GB!! Sorry, the stupid is burning brightly tonight.
make sure you buy good quality memory.

  • How do you determine how much ram is on your iPad?

    I can't seem to find anything that shows how much ram my iPad has.
    Also, similar to releasing or clearing cookies on my desktop, does the iPad also have this as something that needs to be cleared out occasionally?

    Here is one app and there are others, mostly free, similar to it on itunes.
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/activity-monitor-top-free/id445279837?mt=8
    From an ipad forums post :
    If you experience your iPad running a bit slow you probably have a ton of applications running in the background. The iPad’s memory is limited, so in order to avoid performance issues you can close background applications by following the steps below.
    . To close background applications press the Home button twice and when the recently used apps bar appears, tap and hold down the app you wish to close.
    You will notice that after a second or two of holding down the icon, all the icons in the recently used apps bar will begin to move from side to side. You will also notice that a small red circle with a minus sign will appear on the top-left corner of the icon. Tap the red circle to close the background applications. Once you’ve closed several applications tap on the Home button again and you will return to the Home Screen or App you were using. Your iPad should feel a little snappier.

  • How do i know how much RAM

    Where do I find how much RAM my iMac has?  How much should i have to run OS X Lion...I need to update to snow leopard first as I am running just leopard. 
    If I need more is it easy to buy and install by myself?
    Thanks

    Click here and find your model. The entry will contain a link to where compatible RAM can be found, together with its type. You can do this on your own if you're comfortable.

  • How to find out how much RAM  allocated to ASE sybase 15.7 on HP-unix

    Dear expert/Sir,
               How to find out how much RAM  allocated to Sybase ASE 15.7 and I using operating system is HP-Unix, because I have set  max memory

    Appending to Bret's reply, the following may help you in understanding
    SAP Sybase ASE maintains two other measures of memory besides max memory.
    You can observe them using sp_configure "memory" procedure
    1. The total logical memory : represents the amount of memory required by all objects that are allocated in the configuration file; for example, users, caches, open databases, and open objects.
    2. The total physical memory : represents the amount of memory that is actually in "use" at a given time.This fluctuates according to the number of users online and the number of open objects, among other factor

  • How much RAM do tab groups use (on average)? Do I need to watch out for how many groups I create?

    I may have gone overboard in the creation of Tab Groups. I say this because now my system is beginning to act a bit sluggish. I created 7 groups, two of which have 9 or 10 tabs. Should I pull back on the number of groups I create (as well as how many tab are located within each group). That is: How much RAM do tab groups use. How can I calibrate or understand the trade off between these markers and the amount of RAM they use?

    You can see the memory usage on the about:memory page.
    You can open about: pages via the location bar like you open a website.

  • How can i find out how much bandwidth my server has?

    I have a mac pro running os x leopard server and im using this for my companies server. How can i find put how much bandwidth the server has?
    Thanks Sam x

    What you are asking really doesnt mean much. Well, it actually means too many different things:
    either Available network bandwidth: The internet, or local area connection (where are your clients?)
    or Available network bandwidth: How much data will your ISP allow you to transmit as part of your plan?
    Can you be more specific?

    Hello miss_papaya
    That model supports 2 4GB modules for a total of 8GB, only problem is that 4GB modules are currently at a premium price. Have a look at the spec's in the following article or in the User's Guide that came with your iMac.
    http://www.apple.com/imac/specs.html
    Also have a look at Crucial and OWC memory below:

  • How much Ram can my MacBook hold?

    Hi, I'm looking at upgrading my MacBook Ram from 2GB to 4GB. I've had a look around various websites, forums etc. to find out how much Ram my Mac can hold but it seems to have given me conflicting advice. The Mac is from late 2006. It has Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GHz, 250GB and currently has 2GB Ram. If anyone could give me an answer I would really appreciate it :-)
    Thanks.

    I sure do. Try OWC orDataMem

  • How much RAM should I upgrade too?

    I recently purchased a 13" MacBook Pro. It is a mid-2012 model. It currently has 4 GB. I connect it to an external monitor which makes it easier for me to use while editing. I always have the application sit and load with the spinning ball icon. I use FCPX, Photoshop, and After Effects on a daily basis. I was wondering if the RAM increase would help me create my videos more efficently. Thanks for all the comments and help ahead of time!

    You should benefit from adding more RAM. How much is hard to say but at least to 8 GBs. You might know more if you observed your memory usage in Activity Monitor.
    About OS X Memory Management and Usage
    Using Activity Monitor to read System Memory & determine how much RAM is used
    Memory Management in Mac OS X
    Performance Guidelines- Memory Management in Mac OS X
    A detailed look at memory usage in OS X
    Understanding top output in the Terminal
    The amount of available RAM for applications is the sum of Free RAM and Inactive RAM. This will change as applications are opened and closed or change from active to inactive status. The Swap figure represents an estimate of the total amount of swap space required for VM if used, but does not necessarily indicate the actual size of the existing swap file. If you are really in need of more RAM that would be indicated by how frequently the system uses VM. If you open the Terminal and run the top command at the prompt you will find information reported on Pageins () and Pageouts (). Pageouts () is the important figure. If the value in the parentheses is 0 (zero) then OS X is not making instantaneous use of VM which means you have adequate physical RAM for the system with the applications you have loaded. If the figure in parentheses is running positive and your hard drive is constantly being used (thrashing) then you need more physical RAM.
    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.

  • How much RAM should my system utilise?

    Hello,
    Sounds like an odd question and maybe it is, so apologies i am utterly Newbie here.
    I am running a i7 5930 with 64 gig's of DDR4, typically i am using 70% CPU but the RAM is seldom reaching over 30% usage? Is this odd, am i not applying the software setting correctly?
    Any advise is very welcome

    I've been searching for and reading web pages and white papers put out by Adobe all afternoon and can't find anything suggesting that large amounts of RAM specifically benefits Premiere users.
    System requirements | Adobe Premiere Pro
    4 GB of RAM (8 GB recommended)
    How much Ram do I need? (getting a new laptop, help me please!)
           Todd Kopriva, Adobe staff, says "16GB is plenty" for Premiere.
    http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/aftereffects/cc/pdfs/Configuring_Your_S ystem_20140312.pdf
    It reads: "If you plan to use Adobe Premiere Pro, 4 or 6 GB of RAM is minimum, while 8 or 12 GB is suggested for most users. SpeedGrade is the least RAM-dependent of the applications discussed here; 4GB is the minimum recommended amount, with 8 GB preferred. Although Photoshop’s Minimum System Requirements states only 1 GB is needed, you should consider allocating 4 GB, with 8 GB allowing you to work on very large documents. Remember that each of these numbers are for the software running alone (along with the operating system); add at least their minimum requirements together if you plan on having them open at the same time."
    From what I can gather, Premiere performance is dependent on processor speed, storage speed, and GPU mainly - RAM is not a major player as long as you have "enough" - adding a bunch more does not speed things up any more. The OP was not asking how to build a system, or if he should upgrade RAM, just wanted to know why Premiere was not using all the RAM he has installed. I think the answer is that the software architecture is not written to utilize RAM beyond a certain point. Maybe this is incorrect, then please show me the specs from Adobe.
    I agree that more RAM never hurts - certainly will help if running multiple Adobe apps (or other software) at the same time, as I often do. I mentioned this in my first post, did not say 16GB was total anyone ever needs. After Effects can use gobs of memory!
    Thanks

  • How much ram does the iPhone 6 Plus have?

    How much ram does the iPhone 6 Plus have?

    This is what I got on the info....
    IPhone’s RAM has been very little, even pitiful compared to other flagships. Now 1GB RAM is still the standard configuration for the current iPhone 5 / 5s and iPhone 6.
    Is Apple’s system optimization can really never need to increase the memory capacity? Obviously the answer is no. Recently, GSMArena published a sheet of iPhone 6 Plus detailed specifications, we can clearly see the “2GB RAM” in the memory list.
    GSMArena also posted the benchmark score for iPhone 6 yesterday, but we seen that A8 GPU not seem to improve a lot in the processing capability compared to A7 – only increased 4.65%.
    Apple usually not declare the detailed hardware parameters of their products, because those indicators not have too many advantages compared to other similar products, and even looks a bit shabby. But for Apple, these are not the most important, the company always focusing on the overall performance and user experience of the product. iPhone 6 Plus is the largest ever. Apple has said the iPhone 6 Plus screen reached 1080P in the event, as a larger screen means more resource consumption, and the processor needs to handle higher pixel image, so increasing RAM is the best choice to enhance stability and performance.
    So based on the above evidence and our speculate, iPhone 6 is indeed possible with 2GB RAM. If in doubt, all we could wait is finding out the truth after dismantling the device. Course this just may be a beginning, we also expect Apple can give more memory for the upcoming next-generation iPad and iPad Mini.

  • How much RAM will I need?

    Considering buying a Macbook Pro, but I wanted to ask around and find out approximatly how much RAM I would need so that I dont get a model thats too powerful or too weak for my usage. I was considering 4 Gbs but im not sure if thats enough.
    What im mainly planning to do on the Macbook is:
    internet browsing (chrome, safari etc)
    Mail app
    Word processing software like Microsoft word
    Eclipse (java programming)
    skype
    utorrent
    Say I have all these programs running at the same time, how much RAM will I need to have?

    Oh also, I just remembered wanting to ask this, have you ever tried downloading an OS update for a macbook and apple wont let you because you have outdated technology? Like trying to download ios 7 on an iphone 3G for example.
    I've had that exact problem - someone gave me what was, supposedly, an iPhone 4s but turned out to be a 3Gs. Couldn't update to iOS 7.x so it just sits on my desk right now.
    And when I had my MacBook Pro (1,1 2006 model) I couldn't upgrade to Lion - was 'stuck with' Snow Leopard.
    O'd technology that no longer plays nice with new OS's? Time to get a new machine.
