Ram for G3 RevA Mini-Tower

Hello all again. Next ussue: want to upgrade from 320ram to 512 or more. I once a while ago installed a 256mb stick to upgrade to 320mb, recently got another from the local mac guy, PC100, 256mb, and the Mac only reads it as 128mb. What's up with that? And what do I need? And where do I find it?
Thanks in advance.

Hi James,
I wager the chip that shows up at 1/2 its rated size in a hi-density module, with eight devices only on one side. A 256MB module for the Beige needs low-density or 8 devices on EACH side.
I've used one company, Data Memory Systems, exclusively for RAM for over three years and can't complain a bit. I get PC100 RAM by choosing the Blue & White G3 from their selector:
http://www.datamemorysystems.com/memory-information/256MB_SDRAM_PC100_CL2_DIMM_Apple555.asp
This works great in my Beige G3 and the price is pretty good.
(I have no relation with the mentioned form other than as a happy customer)

Where can I buy a replacement power supply for Optiplex 9020 Mini Tower?

Where can I buy a replacement power supply for Optiplex 9020 Mini Tower?
I don't see anywhere on Dell's website to purchase this.

So far there is no replacement/upgrade PSU for Dell Optiplex 9020 MT from Dell.
Will a dedicated power supply work for playing games? i bought this system as used (excellent condition) just for Gaming Purpose (GTA V), now i am stuck with the PSU issue. I can alter the case to fit the big size GPUs, but the issue is of PSU.
Will ePower EP-450CD can help me in any way.
My main reason for changing PSU is to play my favorite game.

Is this the correct type of Ram for a mac mini?

I have a 2007 Mac mini, and want to go from 1gig to 2 gigs of Ram.
I currently have 2 512's
I need to know 2 things. (i'm pretty sure on both but i'm not a huge hardware guy to bare with me)
1. Will there be any compatibility problems? I.e if i upgrade to 2 gigs will it even help or because the rest of the computer is not being upgraded will it be useless?
2. If i'm good to go, Is this the correct type of Ram? http://www.crucial.com/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=4E665783A5CA7304
Not sure if these are needed but will post anyway:

Thank you in advance <3

NO, it will NOT work.
You have to find the memory specific for Mac, and rule of thumb, Mac Intel chips usually take "ECC" memory. On occasions, You can get away with Non-ECC (on certain PPC Power Mac G5 towers) -- You can check on-line stores, like Newegg, Tigerdirect, or Goolge search for the Mac Mini memory. I got mine (for my two Mac 2,1) on line, and I put 4G (2x 2G), although only 3G was available.
It is worth of upgrade it. just need to find the right memory.

What about Kingston 8Gb RAM for latest Mac mini?

Hello!
I want to make memory upgrade for my unibody Mac mini with 2.4GHz processor. http://www.ec.kingston.com/ecom/configuratornew/modelsinfo.asp?id=1&SysID=64063&mfr=Apple&model=Macmini+%28DDR3%29+Core+2+Duo+2.4%2F2.66%28Mid+2010%29&searchtype=&root=ru&LinkBack=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kingston.com%2Frussia&Sys=64063-Apple-Ma c+mini+%28DDR3%29+Core+2+Duo+2.4%2F2.66%28Mid2010%29&distributor=0&submit1=Search - here I have found memory marked especially for my Mac mini. I wondered if any of you used this memory and can you tell me something about how it works?
Best

Thanks for the answer, but I need to know how it works - I mean different models of RAM can work differently on Mac computers. Some people said that Hynix works more stable than Kingston. Some people say that if you install 8Gb of RAM there will some errors can be while work. I need to know how works Kingston 8Gb memory with the latest Mac mini
All the best

RAM for the Rev. E 1 GB MacBook

So, I'm thinking of upgrading the RAM in my 2008 1 GB (White) Macbook. Right now it is completely stock but I'm having issues running recording software (Cubase, but soon Logic). What I need to know is what kind I should be getting and how much. I was thinking about just getting 4 GB but I don't know if there is any reason for having that much RAM. I feel like Apple's RAM is pretty expensive. What are some other options I might have?
Let me know if you need more info.
Thanks,
Zach

I heard that the 6 gig max is unofficial so I didn't want to risk it. Is having that much RAM gonna make the software run smoother than only 2 GB? I thought you only needed that much for things like video and film editing. I'm not being stingy, I just wanna get the facts straight. If I'm not gonna see an improvement, there isn't really any reason to go all out with 6 gigs of memory.

8 GB RAM for Mac Mini Mid-2011?

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

i think your RAM is so low, i have 3gb ram and has some problem when firefox opened and worked for many hours.

What is the biggest bottleneck on this machine - CPU, GPU, RAM (now at 8GB), or the HD, and would I be better getting a current 27" iMac, a 2012 Mac Mini, or SSDs for my current Mini?

Hi Tom,
I just wanted to ask you about what you said about the color correction. To be quite honest I'm not sure what the best workflow is, and I haven't gotten my feet wet in multi-cam editing. Basically my work-flow has been.
1) Import from the camera as optimized media - I found that adding color-correction at the import stage cause a severe hang with my tape-based Canon unit.
2) Color-correct the imported files before loading any files into a project
3) Drag files onto the timeline
4) Click on the color-correction box
5) Start editing - Usually I have one camera zoomed a little tighter on the singer, one on the whole band, and my iPad or iPhone camera at different angles so I start cutting things according to who is the focus of the moment, add a Ken Burns effect every here and there, Titles, an occassional transition effect.
6) Add music effects after the looks are taken care of
7) Export
Are you recommending clicking on the color-correction box after everything is done?
Thanks - TZ

Ok, so i bought a 16GB DDR3 1333MHz RAM for my late 2011 13" MacBook Pro whose memory runs at 1067 MHz (I was also told that late 2011 MBPs run at 1333MHz, is mine an exception?)... Im looking for all possibilities to close the compatibility gap...

Im looking for all possibilities to close the compatibility gap because computer freezes at boot and was wondering if there was anything i could do to get this 16GB DDR3 1333MHz RAM to work at 1067MHz or somehow get my computer to run at 1333MHz?...

You don't have a late 2011 MB Pro.
You have a 2010 version. Your MB doesn't support 16GB. 8GB Max.
That's what it shows on your about this MAC.
You need to return the RAM and get 8GB ( 2 X 4GB ) 1066MHz.
Your system bus is set to 1066MHz.
You're having issues because you've installed more RAM than your MB can support. It's only reading 4GB per bank which totals to 8GB and not 16GB.

I was told G4 Tower was slower than G3 mini tower?

Hi all,
I was told that the G4 tower was slower than the G3 mini tower. Isn't 400mhz vs the 266mhz suppose to be faster? Or is this not a true factor? Let me know. Thanks for your help
Web dude.

Hi-
Let's see
Processor: 266mhz vs. 400mhz
Data Path: 64bit 66mhz vs. 128 bit 100 mhz
Cache: L1 32K L2 512K vs. L1 64k L2 1mb
Memory: 384mb max. RAM vs. 1gb max. RAM
Video Memory: 6mb SGRAM (max) vs. 16mb SDRAM(min)
Ethernet: 10baseT vs. 10/100 baseT
no USB vs. 2 USB
no Firewire vs. 3 Firewire
I would say you were misinformed.
The above comparison is G3 266mhz Mini Tower to G4 400mhz PCI Graphics. The G4's just get faster from there. And we won't even get into expandability......

Plug in No post No nothing OR Plug in Post , Install Drivers, Reboot, Nothing Black Screen.There is a 6792 post thread on them not working in XPS 8700's. Any Standard EPS12v Power supply like the corsair CS750M will fit in your case.
You can test the not working theory by calling up a vendor that sells the 900 series cards and tell them you have a vostro 460 and that when you install the driver and reboot its a black screen.
Then tell them you want an RMA for a non working card and see how they dance around not giving you your money back.
The EPS12V spec 2.92 guarantees 170w combined on the 5V/3.3V rails and 20W on the 5VSB as well as 45 amps on a Single 12V rail.

Any way to install Tiger or Panther?Beige G3 Mini Tower with G4 ZIF upgrade

Networked to my DP MDD 1.25GHz G4 (2004) running Tiger 10.4.11, I have my 11-year-old Beige G3 Mini Tower with a G4 ZIF upgrade running Mac OS 9.2.2.
Sonnet, the upgrade manufacturer, says (or said, at some point) that the ZIF G4 CPU can run Panther or Tiger, but the problem is that the Mini Tower has no DVD drive to run the install disks; it has a CD drive only.
Any workarounds?
Obviously this is more out of curiosity than need, as I can run all my OS X software on the MDD G4 under Tiger.
Thanks in advance.

I don't know what issues you might have with the G3 SCSI drive and OS X, I was under the impression that the G3's floppy drive, serial ports (printer/modem), and SCSI chain would not work since there were no drivers for those G3 hardware items built into OS X.
I found that my external serial port modem continued to work for dial-up and fax, but I don't recall any reports of the floppy drive or SCSI working in OS X. My external SCSI drive never worked, but I'm not sure if the internal SCSI might work. I guess you could try it. My experience with SCSI in the G3 was limited and several years ago, other folks here may have better personal knowledge to share on that.

How can i allocate more RAM for my onboard video card on a 2011 macbook pro 13 inch running windows 7 via bootcamp

I noticed that since Macbooks.. macs in general use an EFI instead of BIOS. . .. Now i need to allocate some more RAM for the onboard video card since its currently running with an estimated 50mb.. I would like to increase this to 512 and cut the 3.95 down to 3.5 MB for the rest of the system ( allowing me to run more graphic intensive games and the such ... ) I know this could slow down the entire system.. ( i am aware of this ) and have gotten a 3rd party application to control and close out uneeded processes during gaming.. I just need more ram for my onboard video card.. Any help?

You don't allocate more RAM towards your video card, you put more RAM into the machine and hopefully some machines will bump the CPU graphics RAM allocation up a little.
The problem is you bought a integrated only graphics computer, if you want to 3D game you need a dedicated graphics computer with it's own or dedicated VRAM.
If your this serious about 3D gaming, your on the wrong platform.
Get a Windows 7 64bit i7 8GB RAM expandable 3D gaming tower with a good power supply and video card upgrade path, this way every few years you buy and stick in a new video card to play the latest games.
Mac's are not gaming machines and never will be because they would last too long if we could upgrade them.

What is the Highest Capacity SATA Drive for a REV A G5

What is the Highest Capacity SATA Drive for a REV A G5 (SP 1.8 with 8 RAM slots), it came with a 160, I know 250s work... will anything higher?
I am looking at this if nothing else, it seems to be a nice 250,
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Seagate/ST3250823AS/
but I am curious if I could go higher
Thanks
Patrick
(Rep points given)

Hitachi 400GB was trouble even on SeriTek controllers. Like the early 7K250, it was not a native SATA drive. Early SATA drives were often using Marvel or some other bridge on PATA drives. The T7K250 and 7K500, or Maxtor are fine. WD has some new drives, one model is optimized for RAID-only firmware.
Whatever happened to just plug in and go, anyway?

Fully Buffered RAM for Mac Pro 8 Core or will non buffered do?

Hi guys,
There are a large number of questions about RAM for the macs on the forum but I can't seem to find the answer to mine any where. Do you think you could help?
Does the new Mac Pro 8 Core require it's DDR3 1066MHz ECC 240 pin DIMM to be Fully buffered or can I use something like this:
http://www.oyyy.co.uk/product.php/79985/kingston-4gb-ddr3-1066mhz-ecc-240pin-dim m-memory-module-with-thermal-sensor?CAWELAID=298234485
since this is considerable cheaper to build up a mac to 32GB than other kits on offer. Also note that none of the kits offered by OWC and other manufacturers mention that they are Fully buffered for the money. Not even the mac store mentions it. Which only adds to my confusion?!
Many thanks in advance for the help
J

Unbuffered.
When in doubt I always look up Crucial memory configuration.
Part #: CT938460 • DDR3 PC3-8500 • CL=7
• Unbuffered • ECC • DDR3-1066 • 1.5V • 256Meg x 72 •
http://www.crucial.com/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=CC3E3949A5CA7304
And because no one but Apple has 4GB DIMMs, I wouldn't buy with someone else, but it might, but that begs why Micron isn't offering any.
