How much RAM is the maximum?

I'm pondering about how much RAM a PowerBook 12" G4 1,5 GHz can take?
If you buy it from Apple, the maximum RAM they would ship it in with is 1256 MB (if I remember correctly) that would make 256MB + 1024MB of RAM.
Is that all? I mean if it were possible to replace the small 256MB with a 1024MB & use the one slot on the backside of the PowerBook as well with 1024MB, would the PowerBook work with this 2GB of RAM?
Or would there be any side-effects (besides more energy used to run the system)?
Would it be possible to install 2 GB RAM into a 12" PowerBook?

MatK, the reason why you can't put more than 256 MB in the original slot is because it is in fact soldered-in ...
Gilles, what you need to get is that :
1 GB DDR RAM PC2700 (333 Mhz) 200-pin SO-DIMM
Costs 330 €. I have found that my local Apple Service Provider had prices below those of Apple, so your might want to check your closest AASP to see how expensive the modules they sell are ...

  • 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 does the iPad OS take up

    If I buy an iPad, how much RAM is used by the OS, or how much RAM do I have to use?

    Are you actually asking about RAM, or do you actually mean "storage capacity"?
    Do you actually want to know how much free space a 16GB or 32GB iPad has "out-of-the-box"?

  • How much ram is the the ipad air?

    Any one know how much ram is in the new Ipad Air?

    I saw an article this morning, sorry but can't provide a link, that compared the specs of an iPad 4 with an iPad Air. They are very similar except for the processor speed and the addition of 64 bit addressing. If the speed and 64 bit are important than an upgrade is a good idea but if you feel your iPad 4 is working well you might wait.

  • How much RAM does the MacBook Pro have?

    I need at least 4GB RAM preferably 8GB RAM.... it is for school and i have many games and scrapbook tools for my electives.... please help.

    Are you planning on buying a MacBook Pro or do you already have one? Apple sells MBPs (non-Retina) with either 4GB or 8GB of RAM. The problem with buying RAM from Apple is that it's so expensive. If you ordered a 4GB machine, for instance, you could upgrade it yourself to 8GB or 16GB without voiding the warranty.
    So if you're buying - go with a 'base' 4GB model and buy the RAM and install it yourself.

  • How much ram does the iPod touch 4g have

    I am a bit confused.  I bought an iPod 4th gen late May 2013 (made about a year ago) and read that it won't be able to be updated to ios 7 because of the ram.  Since when are Apple products only supported for 1 year?!  It's bad enough that I got ripped off buying an iPod touch 2G advertised as a 3G 3 years ago (for which I got several updates).  Now I buy an iPod 4G this May only to find out a few months later that there will be no updates for it!  I am pretty sure what I have now is a 4th gen, but according to Apple's website, there isn't a 16GB 4th gen!  I can't find ram info about this particular model, only for the larger, earlier produced 4g.  My model number is ME179LL/A.  The only info I can find about this model is that it is only about 1 yr old (which is why I 'm a bit po'd about not getting an update).  My ipad is older and can still be updated, so I don't understand why my newer ipod can't!  And don't tell me to buy the newer ipod-I just bought this one and cannot afford to purchase another one (not even a refurbished 5th gen, which is still more expensive than the 4g new)!

    It doesn't matter when it was designed, it was built 2012 and should be updated just like any other Apple product.  My ipad is much older and still getting updates!  If you buy a car made in 2012 that was designed in 2010, you still get service for a year.  Your response is not valid.  An Apple product manufactured less than a year ago should still be entitled to updates.  I won't be surprised if there are many people in my position that think this is more than unfair, but disgraceful.  I see more lawsuits in Apple's future if they do not provide an update for a recently manufactured product.  Maybe you can afford to just go out and purchase a new ipod every year.  I cannot and it should be illegal to sell a product that a company does not intend to support.  When I purchased my ipod, Apple was still selling them on their website.  To sell a product you know won't be supported in a few months is unethical!

  • How much RAM does the iPad2 have?

    I looked at the tech specs and other documentation I could find, however I don't see anything that states the amount of RAM the iPad2 will have. There didn't seem to be any mention of that in the Apple presentation either. Does anyone know where I could find this information?

    RAM is not irrelevant.
    If you had used an iPad at all you could not have failed to notice how Safari frequently needs to re-load web-pages when switching between them, as they are unloaded when the iPad runs short of RAM.
    This is particularly annoying when using forums for instance, as you start writing a reply, switch to another page to copy some info, switch back and the forum page has to reload losing what you had already typed.
    Also, on long image heavy web-pages, you must've noticed the big blank areas where the iPad has had to unload previously viewed parts of a web-page when scrolling.
    Also, when using the multi-tasking feature of iOS, when the iPad runs short of RAM apps are dumped from memory meaning they are not as quick to re-load when you switch back to them.
    More RAM would help alleviate all of these issues.
    The relatively small amount of RAM and frequent web page reloading would be my only complaint about the first iPad.

  • 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 is needed to make it work the best it can?

    i have a g4 and a crappy pc monitor. how much ram can this mac take and how do i get the most out of imovie? thanx a mill!!

    i have a g4 … how much ram can this mac take
    a G4 swallows up to 1.5GB of RAM...
    my experiences: MacOsX under 800MB is no fun...
    afaik, iM doesn't profit that much of more'n more RAM,
    I think 1GB is a good compromise for your demands&wallet...
    a better CPU increases speed dramatically,
    G4, G5, dual, quad, Intel... in that order...

  • How much RAM is built into the current Airport Extreme?

    How much RAM is built into the current Airport Extreme (5th Gen)?

    The only RAM that's likely onboard is whateve is used by the hardware and would be soldered to the board. One would need to disassemble it in order to determine what if any RAM is on the board. There is no user-accessible RAM.

    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 iMac take?

    Hi all, just bought a iMac a few days ago and I'm just wondering how much ram can it take as I want to upgrade it. It didnt come with a manual, so I don't know.
    Here's the spec so far
    Early 2008 20"
    Processor  2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory  2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    Graphics  ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT 128 MB
    Software  OS X 10.8.2 (12C60)
    Thanks for any help in advance

    There are two answers: the official Apple answer and the "you're on your own" answer.
    1 - For the official iMac max RAM, see iMac Memory specifications and upgrades
    2 - For the "your're on your own" answer, everymac.com has a list of the Actual Maximum RAM you can put in every model Mac.  In many cases this is more than the official maximum RAM.
    After deciding how much RAM you want to put in your iMac, I suggest going to Crucial.com and use the memory advisor or system scanner to see what RAM modules are compatible with your iMac.

  • For a new imac how much ram should i get?

    If I buy a new iMac, I see that one can get it with 16GB or even 32GB RAM.  dMy 2007 iMac has 4 GB now after I upgraded?  What would the difference be?

    My 10 cents worth:
    The minimum configurable amount of memory of a new iMac is 8Gb But...
    If you are looking at a new upgradable iMac, absolute do NOT buy the Apple RAM upgrades at the time of purchase. It is grossly overpriced, and although good quality and reliable (I've been led to believe) you can buy just as good, if not better for a lot less. I wouldn't look further than OWC (http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/apple/memory/) or Crucial (http://www.crucial.com/). Both offer matched pairs and kits that are guaranteed to work with your iMac and as you will see, cost a lot less than Apple. Don't be fooled by the price, they supply good quality, fast memory.
    Secondly, in terms of how much RAM, the question is, what is your budget? I always believe that if you can afford it (and memory nowadays isn't that expensive) max out your system and then forget about it because:
    a) There's a fair chance that you'll be upgrading it again at some point if you don't max it out.
    b) You are releasing the maximum potential of your iMac (in terms of memory performance, although the jump from 16Gb to 32Gb will not be as significant as the jump from 8Gb to 16Gb))
    c) If you sell it, the extra RAM will be an attractive option for any buyer.
