PB 17" 1.33GHz and RAM from PB17" 1.67GHz

Can I use a 1GB ram chip from a 1.67GHz PB17", with a 1.33GHz PB 17" with one 512MB ram chip?
Can using two different ram chips make my PB unstable ?

1. Yes. These two PowerBooks have identical requirements for RAM modules.
2. No. A 17-inch PowerBook will accept RAM modules of different capacities that otherwise meet the requirements.

  • Some improvement to hot plg CPUs and RAM in Solaris 11?

    Hi,
    We plan to use Solaris 11 in VMWare environment. As all of you know, you can add CPUs and RAM on the fly depending on the guest operating system. A lot of Windows versions can handle that, and some Linux (64bits based) distros as well.
    That's not possible in Solaris (at least in Solaris 9 and 10): http://vmwarethiru.blogspot.com/2011/04/vsphere-support-for-memory-hot-add-and.html
    Is there some improvement on this? I mean... it will be possible to add CPU and RAM from the VMWare hypervisor when you're using Solaris 11 as a guest?
    I seems a virtual provider (VMWare in this case) issue, but it's not: it depends on the guest operating system capabilities.

    Really good news!
    In Linux kernel, the module need is called acpi_hotpug, so I suppose that internally they´re using as well the ACPI events.
    As you said, another thing will be if the VMWare guys will take profit of this new feature.
    Can you point me out some documentation about?
    Thanks.

  • Would Installing HD and RAM Myself Void AppleCare????

    I am looking to buy a Mac Pro. I want to buy Hard Drives and RAM from another website such as Buy.com or OWC. If I Buy and install them myself, does that void AppleCare?

    Just to add, that is what 99.9% of owners do!
    If you looked or notice, Apple's price on such items are often 300% higher in some instances unless the market is upside down.
    In fact 3rd party RAM have better warranty and support than Apple's.
    And you have better choices, especially in disk drives - from SSD vs Apple price and size, to make, brand, capacity.

  • Is 3GB ram worth it, and how does the 2.33Ghz and 256GFX card handle WoW?

    Well I was totally set on getting a MBP until I saw my friends 24" iMac and I fell in love.
    Here is what I want to use it for:
    iLife - I want to get back into ENJOYING programs on my computer again and not mindlessly doing nothing on a PC
    Podcasting - Looking to do a podcast with a friend
    Audio design - Love to make my own songs
    Video editing - Final cut, more as a hobby and some stuff for my church
    Gaming - World of Warcraft is really the only game I play
    Computer stats:
    24" iMac
    2.33Ghz
    2 or 3 GB Ram
    256 Nvideo Gfx card
    250 GB HD
    My question is this:
    I was hoping to get a 512 minimum Gfx card in my computer (mainly just for gaming) but the iMac maxes at 256. Is this performance fine for a game like World of Warcraft, is it ok for editing etc? Im just tired of bad FPS on my PC and don't want to deal with that again, it would almost defeat the purpose of a new computer. Also, regarding RAM, from what I have seen Macs with just 1GB handle multiple programs running AMAZINGLY well, I know games are a bit more demanding, and I am unsure if 2GB will be just fine since Macs operate differently, or if I should get the 3GB RAM if needed. The RAM is the only REAL price jump in my decision so Im not sure if its worth it or not.
    Thanks in advance.

    Awesome! I was timid about going from 2.16 to 2.33, but my friend who works at the Mac store said its a noticable difference, and the price isnt that bad. I too usually play WoW in Window mode, I like being able to tab through all my other programs and not feel "locked in" to WoW. What is your usual FPS with all settings maxed? I just start feeling sick when I get choppy picture and I am trying to raid or PvP. 7-18 FPS normally and 2-5 FPS on boss fights really doesnt cut it.
    As for the extra HD space, Ill have to take a peek. Im currently running a 160GB HD + 250GB External, I seem to be fine on space, and to be honest, since my Mac will be new and clean, I really wanna keep anything NOT needed on the computer off of it. I just felt my PC's were always bogged down by the 100GB of crap I put on the main HD, I was planning on getting a 2nd FW800 External and just store all my files on multiple drives. I've been told its better to edit video off external drives rather then the main HD as well.

  • I have a late 2012 iMac and a late 2009 mac mini.  I want to know if I can take the 8 GB of ram from the iMac and install it in my mac mini.

    I have a late 2012 iMac and a late 2009 mac mini.  I want to know if I can take the 8 GB of ram from the iMac and install it in my mac mini.
    According to Cruicial my mac mini could use:
    Module Size: 8GB Kit (4GBx2)
    Package: 204-pin SODIMM
    Feature: DDR3 PC3-8500
    Specs: DDR3 PC3-8500 • CL=7 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR3-1066 • 1.35V • 512Meg x 64
    Also According to Cruical my iMac uses:
    Module Size: 8GB Kit (4GBx2)
    Package: 204-pin SODIMM
    Feature: DDR3 PC3-12800
    Specs: DDR3 PC3-12800 • CL=11 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR3-1600 • 1.35V
    I want to increase the ram in both computers. 
    So,  can I put the iMac ram in my mac mini and then I'd only have to buy ram for my iMac?  Naturally the ulitmate test will be when I actually install it,  but having an expectation of success or failure will allow me to plan on what to spend money on.
    Thanks,
    Bear

    Thanks for the responses.  I probably wont even try as my priority is Ram for the mac mini.  2 is not enough.  8 for my imac is okay for now. 
    Somewhere I thought I'd heard that faster Ram would simply clock at the lower speed.  It seems that I am incorrect.
    Thanks,

  • I have a Apple MacBook Pro "Core i7" 2.8 13" Late 2011. i want to upgrade its RAM from 4GB to 16GB. But OWC sells two kinds of RAM, the DDR3 and the DDR3L.What is the different and which one would work better for my mac. Thanks!!!

    Please help! I have a Apple MacBook Pro "Core i7" 2.8 13" Late 2011. i want to upgrade its RAM from 4GB to 16GB. But OWC sells two kinds of RAM, the DDR3 and the DDR3L.What is the different and which one would work better for my mac. Thanks!!!

    I don't see any DDR3L on the page for the RAM that would fit your model -> http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/DDR3_133 3MHz_SDRAM.
    But the answer is that it doesn't really matter - just make certain to get 1333MHz.
    Good luck,

  • Can I upgrade my RAM from 4GB to 8GB for my MacBook Pro 13(early 2011 2.7GHz)? And how much would it be?

    Can I upgrade my RAM from 4GB to 8GB for my MacBook Pro 13(early 2011 2.7GHz)? And how much would it be?

    you can upgrade to 16GB if you wish to do so...
    average price for 8GB 1333MHz DDR3 is around $50 - $75 depending on the brand.
    why not spend $100 and go with 16GB 1333MHz from Crucial or Corsair.
    you can get them from Amazon.com or newegg.com
    see image below with 16GB Patriot Mac Series 1333MHz for $100.

  • Taking RAM from old 24" iMac and switching it to other Macs.

    Hello there,
    My old 24" iMac was damaged beyond repair and It's been replaced by my insurance company with a brand new 21.5 inch model. This is great, but I was wondering if I could take the RAM from the old mac and put it in the new. The old mac in only fit for spares - the logic board has gone.
    My old iMac was a 24inch model purchased in October 2008. It had 4 gig of RAM fitted by Apple from the outset. So, potentially, I have 4 gigs of RAM that I could put in my new iMac that has 4 gig as well - pushing it up to 8. Will it fit, or is the hardware incompatible?
    Alternatively, I also have a white Macbook that was purchased 18 months ago. It has 2 gigs of RAM that were also fitted by Apple. Could this benefit from any of the old iMac's RAM? As a slower machine it might benefit from it more.
    Any help gratefully received. Thanks for reading.

  • My iMac from 2007 is slow and sometimes freezes, what can I do? (Software is updated and RAM is maxed at 4GB, CleanMyMax 2 is runed)

    Hi, My iMac from 2007 is slow and sometimes freezes, what can I do?
    All my Software is updated and RAM is maxed at 4GB. I have used CleanMyMac 2 to clean the iMac.
    I also have a problem with Wi-Fi is jumping between On and Looking for Networks

    Almost certainly that is your problem, Norton causes more problems than it ever helps. Not only is it unnessary no antivirus app is necessary. Keep your machine up-to-date using Software Update and in most situations that is all you need for security.
    You can find Norton's uninstall link at:

  • MBPro C2D 2.33GHz/3GB RAM drops frames playing H.264@1920x1080

    I've been trying to watch with a MBPro C2D 2.33GHz/3GB RAM a movie (in .mkv container) coded in H.264@1920x1080 (a blueray rip actually), but both Quicktime (I have Perian installed) and VLC would drop frames time to time.
    Processor never goes over 100-120%.
    Do I have bad codecs installed? Some ideas? I thought my mac would do the job...

    H.264 is a complex video CODEC, and there can be many factors in the implementation process which would effect what you're seeing here. It would be nice to see some H.264 analysis tools in order to give us more information about the video stream-- I plan on embarking on some live H.264 video projects for doing live educational video delivery, and access to such tools would be a real plus.
    It seems as if the costs in H.264 hardware encoders are dropping rapidly now, with a standalone hardware device (e.g. from Mango in Israel) which does encode/decode audio and video over ethernet coming in at about 5-600 USD. There are even standalone set-top box style decoders for under 200 coming out of China now.

  • My mid-2009 MacBook Pro's hard drive is near death. I want to install a new SSD and work from scratch. Please help.

    Recently, my mid-2009 MacBook Pro has been crashing when I close the screen ("it's having a problem recognizing when the screen is closed/open and deciding what to do, error overload etc.").  It wasn't an SMC issue so I took it to an Apple Store, ran some tests, and decided my hard-drive is failing.
    Not wanting to spend an insane amount of money on some "official apple hard-drive," I want to install a new 256GB SSD instead.  Hoping to squeeze as much life out of this computer as possible (in January I upgraded from 4 GB RAM to 8 GB), I would like to try and start from scratch, i.e. back-up important folders, music, photos etc. and only take that to the new hard-drive.  If someone could explain all the steps I need to take to safely complete this task (or point me in the direction of a guide) I'd appreciate it.
    Potentially Important info:
         Model:                mid-2009 13'' MacBook Pro
         Processor:          2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
         Memory:             4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
         Software:            OS X 10.8.4
    Some additional questions I have...
         Should I be concerned with making a fully bootable back-up (not sure what that is called) as well?  If so, what program should I use to create it?
         How much more life should I try and push out of this computer?  I'm an engineering student and really only use it for web-surfing, music, and
              word-processing.  The batter was replaced in March, the RAM was upgraded to 8 GB in January.  When the battery was swapped, the trackpad went           nuts so that's new too.  Only other issues are a slightly loose audio jack and the left side of the screen being slightly wobbly (hinge is worn I'm told).

    Well there is no "official Apple HD / SSD" in any regard, no worries there.
    If as you say youre only using same for surfing and word processing, why the need for a SSD? You would not notice any speed diff. in use on either of those,....in boot times yes, but in word or surfing, not.
    You can push it likely a few more years, for mere surfing and word processing,...many many years.   Up TO the point that any major fixes become unrealistic relative to getting a new(ER) machine.
    Concerned with a boot clone?  yes and no.  Its an ideal immediate recovery, since you cannot boot from Time Machine, ....in case of HD crash, recovery takes seconds from boot, or 20 mins or so from removing old and installing a clone. All the prosumers and pros have at least one updated clone of their prime machines.
    You can do a "fresh install" if you choose, however if your current drive is FINE, why not merely clone it and save yourself some headache?...., but that is your prerogative of course.    Ideally 2 drives, one to backup your data (you need that regardless of installing a new drive for sake of a backup/archive,...ideally 2 actually, not merely one).
    You could clone internal to NEW SSD/HD , ...then offload unnecessary files to an external to free up space and clutter and run off the clone, and this would only take a couple hours......the clone itself takes approx. 40+ mins.
    CLONE Apps :
    Superduper does not clone the recovery partition, but that is NOT necessary if you keep the original HD as a “backup clone”. Most don’t bother with the recovery partition in a clone, however that is your prerogative.

  • Upgrade MacBook - Hard Drive and RAM

    I want to upgrade my daughter's early 2008 white MacBook - both internal drive and RAM.  I know how to install both and have done so before.  I have purchased the internal drive, the RAM and a large external drive for Time Machine backups now and for the future.  I also want to install Lion.  I'm not sure of the sequence...  Here is what I propose:
    1) format the new external hard drive and then back up the current internal drive using Time Machine.
    2) install the new RAM.
    3) install the new internal drive.
    4) boot up using Snow Leopard DVD.  Install OS 10.6
    5) upgrade to 10.6.8
    6) install Lion.
    7) import all of her applications, files, etc. from the Time Machine backup.
    8) done?
    Is this correct - will all work?
    9) back up the new internal drive using Time Machine.
    Will step #9 work when I select "Back Up Now" from the Time Machine?
    10) If yes, is her itunes account, etc. ready to use?  Can she sync iphone as before? 
    Thanks.

    I can make this easier for you:
    1) Download and install SuperDuper.
    2) Using SuperDuper, make a clone of the current internal drive to the large external.
    3) Test the clone by booting to the external drive
    4) If good, install the new internal drive.
    5) Boot from external, and use SuperDuper in reverse (clone back to new internal).
    6) When done, boot the mac normally.  Upgrade to Lion, and all should be good.

  • Scratch disks and RAM usage

    i would like to understand the relationship between scratch disks and RAM usage in Photoshop.
    While i was working on a fairly big psb file (2gb), photoshop kept prompting that I was out of memory, but in fact the utilization was only 75% (i had 16gbs total, photoshop was only using 7gb, and i allowed PS to use up to 14gb in total). when it says out of memory, it was actually my scratch disk at fault ( i only set 1 scratch disk, which was my 120gb SSD running out of space).
    any idea how I can optimize PS to use up all my RAM first before even touching my scratch disk? (short of using a RAMdisk, please).
    thanks!

    I am curious about this also. I just reinstalled W-7--have 11 G of physical memory--a ton of hard drive empty space also, and I have been wondering why PS_CC is so slow--since basically I have only put my Security and Browser in addition to Adobe back on the Dell XPS computer..... At least now it does show the downloading percentage (like .psd file) , but that must be what is happening.  I do think that some of these "frozen" screens I have been experiencing, was because the program was using scratch disk, instead of the Ram... I came up from CS-5, and can't describe it in detail, but just realize how slow PS-CC is in most everything.  Going back and see if reallocating will help...

  • Mixing RAM from different manufacturer's?

    Hi
    i currently have 2.5 gig of ram that was installed by apple, and i am looking to add matched pair of 1 GB to give me 2 more gig of ram, and 4.5 total
    can i mix my standard ram with samsung ram? i dont want to buy and have it not work, also there is same ram on the site with slightly different specs for less, a, i better off going with that?
    thanks in advance!
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Samsung/3200DDRSAM2P/

    Hi, and a Warm Welcome to the Power Mac G5 Forum!
    Well - the G5 RAM specs are here
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86414
    Some of the Apple Original G5 RAM was Samsung, apparently.
    You will not go far wrong purchasing RAM from OWC with their "Lifetime Advance Replacement Warranty"...
    Personally I have never had a problem with Crucial
    http://crucial.com/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=1D1DFB01A5CA7304
    who have a similar guarantee. And the parent company of Crucial - Micron - were also suppliers of Apple Original G5 RAM, apparently. Good Luck.

  • Is it possible to use the ram from a macbook in a iMac?

    I am installing new ram on my Early 2011 Macbook Pro (2.3 Ghz., 13 inch, os x 10.9.4). Can I install the old ram from my Macbook Pro into a Mid-2011 iMac(2.7 Ghz., 27 inch, os x 10.9.4)? These links show the ram specs, and they look identical to me. iMac: How to remove or install memory  MacBook Pro: How to remove or install memory
