    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 much Ram can I add to my MacBook Pro?

  • 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 can I put into my Macbook Pro?

    Here's my info:
      Model Name:          MacBook Pro
      Model Identifier:          MacBookPro4,1
      Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
      Processor Speed:          2.4 GHz
      Number Of Processors:          1
      Total Number Of Cores:          2
      L2 Cache:          3 MB
      Memory:          2 GB
      Bus Speed:          800 MHz
    I want to upgrade my RAM, as the computer is showing a bit of age at 3 years old now.  I looked at this support page:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1270#link8
    And judged the installation to be easy enough for me to do, but I'm confused as to how much RAM I can buy.  The conflict I see is that "Additional notes" says I can use up to 8GB of RAM, but the table says only 4GB.  What's throwing me off is basic math -- is that 4GB only referring to my slots (thus 4+4=8) or is it saying that anything over 4GB will not be recognized by my computer?
    I spoke with someone at Apple, but he seemed a bit confused by my question, and eventually gave me a "yes" that was timid enough that I felt the need to post here.  So, I'd appreciate the support!  Thanks a lot, everyone.  I'm just looking to not spend more than I need (in terms of buying excess RAM), and make sure I don't ruin my Mac in the process.

    The MacBook Pro 4,1 can acces a maximum RAM of 6GB
    However RAM comes in 4GB modules and you have two slots, so you install 8GB (two 4GB modules) and can only access 6GB of it according to MacTracker.
    Use the free Crucial.com site to make sure your getting the extact specified RAM specs, you can buy it anywhere if you like.

  • How much Ram can my Macbook use?  What Hard drive should I upgrade to?

    Hi Everyone.
    I have a 2008 ish macBook with 4gb of Ram.  I use vmware Fusion to run Windows every day and I also use Aperture on a regular basis.
    I'm looking to breath some life into this old machine and want to know how much ram the motherboard will support.  Here are the machine's specs.
    Hardware Overview:
      Model Name:          MacBook
      Model Identifier:          MacBook4,1
      Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
      Processor Speed:          2.4 GHz
      Number Of Processors:          1
      Total Number Of Cores:          2
      L2 Cache:          3 MB
      Memory:          4 GB
      Bus Speed:          800 MHz
      Boot ROM Version:          MB41.00C1.B00
    How muck Ram will the machine support? 
    My Hard drive is also nearly full and I would like to upgrade to a 500gb drive.  Any suggestions on which drive to choose?
    Thanks!!

    You can install up to 6 GBs of RAM. There are any number of good choices for a hard drive replacement. I suggest visiting OWC for information on pricing, makes, and models. They also provide video tutorials on how to replace a drive in MacBooks.
    To prepare for the upcoming release of Lion I also suggest spending $29 to buy a Snow Leopard DVD and upgrade your OS.

  • How much RAM should I get my new MacBook installed with?

    How much RAM should I get my new MacBook installed with? I'm planning on getting a new Macbook sometime this fall. I'll probably be a light user, mostly internet, email, and your occasional Letter/Envelope.
    Are their any other options that I'll want to make sure that I get?
    Oh, and this will also be my very first Mac.
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    In the link Alvin Ray posted it shows the different configurations that can be used in RAM. Officially Apple states that the MacBook supports 2 GB Ram. It can hold 4 GB but only uses 3 GB. The 4 GB would only benefit the matched pair use for optimum graphics. Unless you do a lot of very graphic intensive work 3 GB should be fine.

  • How much RAM can I put in my mid 2010 17" MacBook Pro?

    Hello-
    I'd like to upgrade my memory. Would anyone happen to know how much RAM (the max amount) I can place into my mid 2010 MacBook Pro 17"?
    Thanks-

    8 GB.
    Purchase memory from OWC / MacSales or Crucial. There may be other vendors of reliable Mac RAM but those are the only two I have used and can recommend.

  • 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 Ram do I need in a MacBook Pro for Software Engineering?

    I plan to buy a new MacBook Pro in the next month for school and hopefully for work. I would like this computer to get me at least 4 years of use. I will be majoring in software engineering. My question is how much ram would I need in a Macbook Pro for software engineering? I am currenty looking at the 15" 2.3ghz base model with 8gb of ram as well as the 15" 2.4ghz base model retina. I really like the retina but its at my max budget. Will the 8gb of ram be enough since it is not upgradable? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    I am currenty looking at the 15" 2.3ghz base model with 8gb of ram
    The MB Pro 15" 2.3Ghz with 8GB of RAM should do the trick.
    Save your $$$ on the retina and stick to your budget

  • How much ram does my macbook pro have?

    How can I tell how much ram memory my mac book pro originally came with? I now only have 2 gbs left and am running out of space with all my photos, aps, videos and music. I don't want to keep moving things on and off the computer with an external hard drive. Is there a way to get more ram? My ipad has 64gbs and holds everything - but apparently my computer doesn't.

    Time Machine backup disks should be external ... separate from the computer.
    Several places sell external disks that are already formatted for Mac.  Others tell you that external disks not formatted for Mac can be reforatted, but save yourself the grief for now and buy Mac-ready.
    Buy a *new* disk, in my opinion.  Do not reuse an old disk.
    Some can suggest certain brand names as "better", but even the best disk-brand will have bad apples in the mix.
    If any others have a convenient link for Time Machine Tutorial, please provide.  I have learned enough alreay, generally through trial and error on my own.
    But focus on getting that first backup done within the next 2 days.
    As to "probably need a new HD", perhaps you can move enough off to an external disk.  Cross that bridge after you get the backup.
    If you get the sense that critical things are done first and that you should save yourself complex things like "how to replace a harddisk" for later, you are reading my posts correctly.

  • 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.
