Is your 667mhz memory you put in yourself running at 667mhz? poll

I really can't afford Crucial or Apple's memory, so I bought some Patriot DDR2 667mhz 5300 chips, 2 x 1gb. I bought them because on Newegg there was review after review of people having great success, the only bad review was from someone with a Dell. What I realize now is that none of them actually said their computer was running at 667mhz, just that it's running fine. My memory passes all memtest tests, passes the apple test everytime, but it's showing up as 533mhz. I have tried putting one in at a time to see if one was slower than the other, but they both start by themselves as 533.
So, if you've upgraded your RAM yourself, run system profiler in Applications/Utilities, and report what your memory is running at. I am curious if a lot of people out there are running at 533.
I really am growing to hate Newegg. Now I am going to have to pay shipping, restocking fees if I decide to get crucial. I should have just bought my memory from Fry's until I got two generic sticks that would run at 667mhz.

Three weeks ago received two 1GB from Crucial, no problem with either, both running at 667MHz according to System Profiler. I bought direct from Crucial. They passed both Apple Hardware Test and Rember>Memtest. I happen to think $293 (delivered) is a good price.
I previously had bought (for less $$) two 1GB from another seller frequently recommended on this forum, and both modules did show as 667MHz in System Profiler. However, one of them created kernel panics, failed the tests, and was replaced by the seller.
One can always buy cheaper somewhere else. There has already been counterfeit RAM found in the market, and, as more and more buyers are willing to buy from any seller based solely on price, there will be more counterfeit RAM in the future.

  • TS2634 I bought a ipad back in December and the ear buds never worked.  The sound doesnt come out of what you put in your ear but comes out of the little hole on the outside of the ear buds.  Is this supposed to be this way?

    The earbuds that came with my ipad have never worked.  They have sound that comes out of the outside hole of the earbuds.  When you put them in your ears no sound can be heard.  Has this been a problem or did mine just come broken?

    I have the same problem and it has just started in the last day or so...
    Got the phone late July and then in the last day, everytime I plug into PC or take a photo,  I get the same "Disk Error / Retry message"
    What is interesting is that I always had the Photo Storage location as the Memory Card (detachable).   Seems odd that sometime in the last month or so the phone decided to change my setting to the Mass Memory. Might have been an firmware update that I have done in the past but not sure.
    Changing the Photo Storage Location back to the Memory Card has stopped the error coming up everytime a Photo wastaken, but the message continues when I plug in the phone to the PC.
    Phone was just updated to latest firmware this morning and that has not helped, although during the back-up process I could not save some files from the Mass Memory.
    I wonder if Optus will shout a new phone because their technicians are useless with past experiences and to be honest the N97 really promises so much but offers very little compared to all of my last Nokia's.

  • How do you get your album's songs to stay together when you put them on your ipod/iphone, when some songs have a ft. artist?

    How do you get your album's songs to stay together when you put them on your ipod/iphone, when some songs have a ft. artist?
    Even when I try to change the featured artist in my I tunes, it won't stay with my other songs, and I want to be able to listen to my album in the order of the songs that the album has it.

    The iTunes/iPod software isn't set up to let you sync songs from more than one libray, but if you manually manage the iPod you can add tracks from multiple computers without removing the existing content. Personnaly I think syncing with a library is a much better way to manage your iPod, so I'd suggest you just copy the stuff you bought at work onto a memory stick, then take it home and import it into your iTunes library there.

  • HT204088 how do you put money on your account

    how do you put money on your iTunes account when you already have money on your account

    If it's already been redeemed by someone else, then the card is valueless to you. Perhaps you can explain what it is you're trying to do in more detail and the problem you're encountering; then we can better advise you.
    Note for future reference that marking your own post as being the one to solve your issue is a poor strategy unless you have indeed found the solution yourself and wish to close out your thread.

    No.  breaking the encryption in order to copy them illegal.
    " what about recorded DVD's that you have? "

    Sorry, without knowing the Apple ID/Password that was originally used to activate this phone, then there is no way to re-activate it, as you've found out.
    Apple can't/won't help you. Your choice is to get this info, or you simply won't be able to re-activate this phone.
    If you ex won't give it to you, then consult a lawyer.

    You can use it on all the Macs you own. To save time downloading, after you DL it the first time,choose "Install Later". Then duplicate the "Install Mac OS X ML" in your Applications folder and save it off to disk. Then go back and double-click on "Install Mac OS X" in your Applications folder to begin the install.

  • What do others see when you put yourself on invisi...

    What do my contacts see when I put myself on invisible? Is there any way to tell if someone has put themselves on invisible?

    Hi, donkeylover, and welcome to the Community,
    The "Invisible" feature is unique in that while your status appears to others as "off-line," you are not; you can use Skype as usual.  
    Invisible
    You’ll appear to be offline to all of your contacts, but you can still use Skype as usual. It’s a good way to continue using Skype but not be disturbed by instant messages or calls from your contacts.
    More information here:
    https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA3501/what-is-a-​status-setting-and-how-do-i-change-it-in-skype-for​...
    Some of my contacts have figured out that they can tell when my status is set to "invisible" because when they send an instant message to me, it gets delivered.  If I were off-line, the grey "waiting to be delivered" spinning arrow/circle would appear beside their instant message.

  • How  do you put songs on your ipod with the new itunes?

    How  do you put songs on your ipod with the new itunes?

    Do you mean remove them from the iPod or transfer them back to your computer? You can't transfer photo's back to the computer with iTunes. To retrieve photos from an iPod try:
    iPodPhotoCopy Windows only
    CopyPodPhoto Windows only
    iPod Photo Liberator Mac & Windows
    To remove individual photos from an iPod you delete or remove the photo from the folder that you linked to when you set the preference "synch photos from" and update the iPod. For example, if the iPod is getting the pictures from the folder "My Pictures," delete or remove them from My Pictures.
