Maximum RAM for latest Macbook Model? (May 2007)

According to Apple the maximum RAM supported is 2GB. However as you can see on https://eshop.macsales.com/shop/MemoryBenchmark/AppleMacBook/ the Macbook can take up to 4GB!
Does anybody know the real hardware limit of the Macbook?

It only uses 3 gb but if you use 4 gb you have balanced RAM for best graphics speed.
In the article you linked to it states this also.

  • Conflicting info on maximum ram for older macbook

    System profiler says this:
    Model Name: MacBook
    Model Identifier: MacBook1,1
    Processor Name: Intel Core Duo
    Processor Speed: 2 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 1
    Total Number Of Cores: 2

    SMC Version (system): 1.4f12
    What is the maximum ram it can use? Thank you.

    The original MacBooks, which it appears is what you have as it has the Intel Core Duo processor rather than the Core 2 Duo, max out at 2GB of RAM.
    Best of luck.

  • What is the maximum RAM for 2008 MacBook pro

    I've seen some here say they have 8gb. Manual says 4 is max. What is the correct number?

    You're welcome.
    My late 08 Uni also states 4GB Max but been running 8GB for a year now.
    Same with my 1 month old late 2011.  Specs says 8GB Max.  Been running it with 16GB the day I bought it.
    I have Crucial installed in both my Macbooks.
    If your MB works for you, then just use it with the RAM upgrade so it can last you for awhile.  You'll see a difference in speed.
    Another thing to check is your hard drive.  If it's almost full, delete some files you're not using and clear your cache memory once in a while.
    An almost full hard drive also slows down your MB.

  • Whats the maximum RAM for my MacBook Pro?

    Thanks to any and all.

    Sorry, I thought i included that info.
    From what i found online, it looks as if 4GB is the max. However i can't figure out if thats per slot, or if I can put 2GB in each available slot.
    I currently have 1GB SDRAM per slot.

  • MAXIMUM RAM for MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo Mid 2010

    What is the MAXIMUM RAM for MacBook Pro, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Mid 2010 - 24MC374LL/A, running OS X 10.8.2 (12C60)?
    I tried to search for this but was unable to find anything.
    Apple Specs say 8GB, but I was just told by someone I THINK would know, that you can actually go up to 16GB.
    This would be an enormous improvement to my workflow if true.
    Anyone out there know for certain?
    Making sure before I buy (or NOT!)
    Thanks.

    I just found this post and I realize this is a late response but maybe it will help others.
    Based on recent circumstances I just happened to have two 8GB DDR3 modules collecting dust. Having an old trusty MacMini as my media center, server among other things and whatnot, I was curious if I could bump this little thing to 16GB. In doing so I found this post and verified with OWC.
    End result:
    Booted with no issues, and is running nice and smooth. Should be noted that just adding 16GB of RAM to a Core 2 Duo will not make the machine lightning fast or become some amazing computing platform. It will just make the box run a bit quicker and give you the ability to have more applications open before you begin to note some lag.
    However this is really nice to see:

  • Want to buy more ram for my macbook pro. What to buy?

    +Model Name: MacBook Pro+
    +Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo+
    +Processor Speed: 2.8 GHz+
    +Total Number Of Cores: 2+
    +Memory: 4 GB+
    I am looking to buy more ram for my macbook, but I don't know what to look for. Do I have to buy 2x 4GB and get rid of my old ram or I can buy 2 x 2GB and use them all together?
    Also, same with HD. I need more HD as well. Can I install another harddrive as well?
    Message was edited by: Strato222

    There are only 2 slots for RAM. So, you'd need to replace one of the 2 GB sticks with a 4 GB stick for a total of 6 GB, or replace both for a total of 8 GB.
    Yes, you can replace the HDD with a larger one as well. There are instructions in the manual.

  • Maximum RAM for iMac 2006 5.2 17" C2D

    Having followed the discussions on maximum RAM for this model it  appears that 2GB is the maximum possible. I discovered this after purchasing a matching pair of 2GB sticks of RAM :-(
    However, as the iMac would not start with the 2 x 2Gb sticks I tried various combinations 1 x 2Gb & 1 x 1Gb, swapping these between the two slots etc etc until the final combination of 1x 2GB and 1 x 256Mb works. I am tempted to purchase a stick of 512mb to see what happens next but I am intrigued as to why the higher combinations do not work, any thoughts on this are welcome.
    All the memory is DDR2 667MHz but the combination that works has the 2gb at 2rx8 and the 256Mb at 1rx16.
    Spec of machine is : iMac 2006 5.2 17", C2D 1.83ghz, 24x Combodrive, 10.6.8

    I would use 2 x 1GB, as the Intel architecture runs just a little faster with matched memory (around 3%-5%).
    While 2GB + 256MB boots, have you looked to see what the system is showing as available memory?

  • Im thinking about buying OWC ram for my macbook pro.

    Im thinking about buying OWC ram for my macbook pro but dont know if it will have negative affects on my computer, should i do it?

    Only if you install it wrong or use the wrong RAM.
    http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/
    Use the free Crucil.com checker to doublecheck if you need too.
    You don't want Apple to do it, they quoted me $435 to upgrade $70 worth of RAM.
    Do it yourself or have a local geek friend (PC or Mac) do it, it's not hard, unles you got bad eyesight and can't see the tiny screws. Use a catch mat, follow proper anti-static and handling. (touch only plastic)
    Break something inside, your on your own though. No warranty coverqge or AppleCare for self inflicted damage.

  • Maximum RAM for Mid-2010 iMac 3.2GHz w/ Core i3 Processor?

    I am looking to upgrade the RAM on my iMac. This is the first time I've ever done so and the reason for it is that I'm finally starting to experience some noticeable lag while playing games. I'm not a hardcore gamer by any means but I feel as though the kinds of games I play shouldn't be struggling so much to run. Some examples of games I've played that have had trouble include Amnesia: The Dark Descent and Left 4 Dead. These games came out a few years ago so it's not like I'm pushing the limits of my machine here! I've done quite a bit of research online but I've come across some conflicting reports on the maximum amount of RAM I can install.
    Apple's support files state that the computer can hold up to 16GB of RAM, but then go on to state that this would be equivalent to a 4GB SO-DIMM in each slot. Is that because there are four total slots in my iMac? (See... I told you I'm new at this!)
    At the same time, I've also read that it is possible to install up to 32GB of RAM in this particular model of iMac. Is this actually true?
    Whichever the case may be... can anyone recommend some good, quality, dependable brands of RAM? Because in doing my research I've read a few horror stories about faulty RAM (and no... I'm not planning on shopping on eBay so don't worry!).
    My final question is this: Is upping my RAM actually worth it? As in, will it help my games run smoother and/or better? I ask because I've also wondered if the video card might be the bigger problem (which I hope it's not because I have no idea if it's even possible to replace that).
    Sorry for being so long-winded but I just really want to make sure I do this right and don't waste my money. Thank you in advance for any help! =)

    Your computer has 4 slots. When Apple shipped the computer the largest DIMM shipping was 4GB so Apple advertises 16GB as the max. According to OWC that remains the maximum for your computer, only the i5 and i7 models can be upgrade to 32GB. At this time 16GB should be plenty for most people.
    There are a number of things that have an impact on speed and, of course, one of them is RAM. When your computer first came out the operating system you were using was less RAM hungry. It seems that each new upgrade (or every other OS upgrade) ups the RAM ante. Other things that have an impact are the utilities and programs you run behind the scenes. They can burn up lots of CPU cycles and RAM. Hard drive space is another factor - the operating system and programs need room for temporary files and when this room isn't available the computer slows down. So, are you running anything like anti-malware? Dump it, not needed. Do you have about 25GB of free drive space? If not, free some up.
    Quality RAM - not only what you buy but who you buy it from is important. I go with Crucial or OWC.

  • Ram for my Macbook pro

    I have a 2.4 intel duo core macbook with 4gb 667mhz ddr2 installed but I want more ram, whats the most ram my computer can be upgraded to? Whats the difference between ddr2 and ddr3?

    Is yours a June 2007 MacBook Pro? That's the only thing that I could find with a 2.4GHz Intel dual core CPU...
    If so, the maximum RAM that you can install is 6GB - one 2GB module and one 4GB module. The modules that you need are 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2.
    If yours is not a June 2007 model, please write back...
