How much memory can I add?

I have a Blueberry Clamshell with 9.2.1 on it. It's a PPC G3, 300 MHz, and 3 GB (capacity 3.24 GB). I bought it new back in '99 (?). I added memory 128 MB a few years ago, bringing the memory up to 160 MB. I want to switch the 128 MB with a 256 MB card, but I don't know if that's possible. (The iBook quick start manual says 128 is the maximum add).
So, can I put a 256 MB card in and have the iBook still work?

Mr Totes is correct, but there is a footnote*
* You must first be certain you have the latest firmware**
** To install the latest firmware, you must be running Mac OS 9.x from a writeable Disk (not a CD).
88007- iBook Firmware Update 2.4 Document and Software
Apple documents do not discuss running larger SODIMMs in those Macs because Apple never tested them. If the computer goes out of production before they get around to testing larger memories, they never DO test them, and they won't change their documentation to endorse the use of larger memories if they have not tested them.

I have an iMac 5,1 with an Intel Core 2 Duo. I'd like to be able to use iCloud, but need Lion which is too big. How much memory can I add? And will this upgrade allow me to install Lion?

I have an iMac 5,1 with an Intel Core 2 Duo. I'd like to Lion, in order to use iCloud, but the specs indicate I don't have enough memory. How much memory can I add? And will this upgrade allow me to install Lion?

I believe your model iMac can address 3 GB RAM; the minimum for Lion is 2 GB - however, that is an absolute minimum for very light use. You would be much happier with a minimum of 4 GB.

(You can install 4 GB, but it will only be able to address about 3.1 - 3.2 GB)

How much Ram can I add to my MacBook Pro?

Another non-techie here with a memory question
How much RAM can I add to my MacBook
Model Identifier: MacBookPro2,1
MacBook Pro (late 2006)
Processor 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Current memory: 2GB (two SO-DIMMs) 667 MHz DDRs SDRAM (PC2-5300)
The actual installation sounds quite simple. I just want to be sure I get the right chips. Any sources you can recommend?
TIA
Jim

How much ram can I add to my late 2008 MacBook Pro? I run Mavericks and just got a new inexpensive hard drive. RAM is not very expensive so Thought I would bump it up from the current 2MB of 1067 Mhz DDr3

How much memory can I install in my mac book pro?

Mac book pro 2.4 GHz late 2011 i7....How much memory can I install? Currently have 4Gb but want to run Win 7 on VMware and want to make sure my user has enough

The position of Apple is that the Late 2011 can take 8 GB, however, OWC, http://www.macsales.com and Crucial, http://www.crucial.com both guarantee their 16 GB ram packages to work. Both are sellers of high quality ram that is guaranteed to work in Macs.

How much memory can i put in my imac

how much memory can i put in my new imac

Assuming it's a 27" 2012 machine, it will accomodate up to 32GB. I'd strongly recommend reputable vendors such as OWC (www.macsales.com) or Crucial.
If you bought a 21.5" iMac the RAM is not upgradeable. The 21.5" machines will accomodate up to 16GB from Apple however you have to order the machine with 16GB directly. OWC does provide RAM upgrade kits for the 2012 210.5" iMacs however it is MAJOR surgergy and is full of risks including fatally damaging the machine and invalidating the warranty.

How much memory can I put in my MacBook?

Hey,
I have a MacBook.
Processor 2.13 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 2 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
and I am wondering how much memory I can put in the thing.
By day my wife uses it for work and pictures and stuff and by night I use it for DJing so I need AS MUCH space as possible.
Thank you for your time!!
~JM~

Up to 6gb although 4gb would be cheaper http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook/White/2.13GHz

I have an iMac OS X Version 10.5.8 but I also have a MacBookPro 10.7.5 version, why software updates are not the same? For example, when I want to know how much memory can not store in the same way in either computer.

I have an iMac OS X Version 10.5.8 but I also have a MacBookPro 10.7.5 version, why software updates are not the same? For example, the way to see how much memory I have in my iMac is diferent than MacBookPro. And where I can see the memory of the disc I've got in my iMac? Than you very much.

If you want everything the same on both computers you need to be running the same OS X version. You can't because your iMac is a PPC machine, not Intel.
But to see information about your hard drive is the same for both. Simply select the drive icon on the Desktop. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. Disk information is in the upper panel.

How much memory can I put in?

Mine is a 24", Early 2008 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4 B 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM for memory, how much can it handle? w/Yosemite 10.10 & 2 2G right now.

Add a 4GB chip.
The 2 places I’ve seen recommended most to buy reliable RAM are below. I have purchased RAM several times from Other World Computing and have always been very satisfied with the product and service. They have on-line instructions on how to replace the RAM. OWC has also tested RAM above what Apple states is the maximum. I now have 6GB installed on a machine supposedly limited to 4 GB.

How much memory can I stuff in my Mac Mini?

I have a mid-2011 i5 2.3 Mac Mini that came with 4GB memory (2X2GB). After a while, I upgraded it to 2X4GB chips, and today, I installed 2X8GB chips for a total of 16GB internal memory. How much can I stuff in there? Can I put in 2X16GB chips?
Also, to speed things up, can I install one of those Fusion drives into the Mac Mini?

There has only been fanciful reference to 16 GB SODIMMs. Middle of last year, 8 GB SODIMMs were $750+ each. Now they are $45 through Crucial. 16 GB SODIMMs may be out there somewhere, but likely cost $3000 each -- just my "off the cuff" estimate as I have done no research.

How much memory can my macbook pro handle?

I have a mid 2012 macbook pro 15" i7 quad core 2.3 ghz with factory 4gb of memory. Just curious how much more memory I can install in my mac? Apple says 8 GB but others say 16 GB. Any thoughts?

Apple has recommended 8gB total because 4gB chips were readily available during the development phase of the MacBook Pro. They do not re-test the capabilities when newer, higher capacity chips become available. Outside companies and RAM suppliers test the units with higher RAM capacities, thus the confusing total RAM capabilities.

How much memory can Premiere Pro use on a new Mac Pro?

I'm ready to upgrade memory on my Mac Pro Late 2013 6-core. Does PP CC 2014 have a limit on how much RAM it can use? Some apps never use more than a certain amount, so I don't want to buy a lot of memory if PP will never put it to work. (I made that mistake when I was an FCP user.) Is there a limit and if so, what?
Also, are there any Mac Pro users who have an opinion on optimum RAM? I currently have 16GB (4x4GB) with 10GB reserved for PP. I am in the middle of a very large project and have noticed some irregularities and spinning balls. I assume that they are from memory shortage since quitting all other apps and restarting PP seems to fix the issue.

Not a Mac expert here ... but I do know there's folks running 64G ram and so going up from 16 will work fine. Now ... as to which is the "choke-point" ... that's a bit more techie than I can answer off the bat.
The Adobe video apps can put a pretty good strain on all of the computer's hardware, and "balancing" the assets of the hardware to the usage patterns of the software is always the trick. Memory never hurts ... but if the spinning ball is a video-ram problem, changing mobo ram isn't going to do much. The various areas they go into great detail on within the pages of the "Tweakers Page" (found within these forums threads, check the hardware forum) are of course, mobo, chip/s & cores, ram, disc in-outs & arrays/layout of project/footage & program files, video card & ram.
Your problem might be best solved by more RAM; it might be that it's a disc read/write issue and either more internal or eSATA II discs to spread read/write processes over would be best ... or taking an array of discs and using a fast multi-disk RAID array to speed things up even faster, or a video card upgrade.
So ... where you might want to go is the the Hardware Forum and give your computers complete specs, including disc layout and usage, and see what folks there think needs tweaking.

How much memory can i upgrade on my macbook pro?

I have a mid year mackbook pro 2009 with 2gb of memory. When I updated to Lion my system has begun to crawl and barely function. I want to upgrade my memory and I would like to get 8gb of memory from crucial...I don't know if my computer can hold that much. How do I find this out?

Your computer can accept a maximum of 8GB RAM.
