Ram from G5 to intel

Will extra ram from my iMac g5 work in the new intel imac i am planning to get?
thanks.

As mentioned, no they are not interchangeable.
While the iSight iMac do use DDR2 RAM, it is a full 240-pin chip and not the 200-pin SODIMM that is used now in the Intel-based iMacs.

Will the ram from a "macbook pro 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo" work in a "MacBook Pro 2.2GHz Quad-core Intel i7"

I have a 2008? MacBook Pro 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB ram. Can I use 2 GB ram from the old machine in a new MacBook Pro 2.2GHz Quad-core Intel i7 ?
/bc

Very likely not.
RAM gets improved over time like everything else, so if the RAM is too old it won't be compatible with newer machines.
TO confirm, use Crucial.com and punch in each machine, then read the RAM requirements and specifications, if they match, then your good.
But I'm willing to bet they won't be beause of the age difference between the two machines.

I would opt for one 8 GB stick so you would have 10 GB. total. This says really no practical advantage in dual channel memory

will i have any problem like compatibility??
thank you.

A Mid 2010 MacBook Pro supports 16 GB of memory without any problem. Macs are "special" about memory because some brands work without any problem and others don't work. That's why I recommend you to buy the memory from OWC or Crucial in order to make sure that you get compatible memory > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/DDR3

Will Logic Pro 9 run on a 2007 4GB ram, 320GB hard drive, Intel 2 duo 2ghz mac mini?

"Will Logic Pro 9 run on a 2007 4GB ram, 320GB hard drive, Intel 2 duo 2ghz mac mini?"
I am looking for the cheapest way possible to run Logic Pro 9 and will purchase a second hand mac mini if it will run the software.
Thank you!

Yes it will.. I would recommend you use the combination of Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and LPv9.1.5 (or 9.1.8 if you have to..) with that particular hardware to get the best performance out of it... I would not recommend running any OS X version higher than 10.6.8 as each new version of OS X from then onwards.. placed a bigger performance hit on the hardware... and frankly, less stability with LP9.
As to how well it will run on that hardware.. will more depend on the sort of loads you place on it.. depending on the type and content of the music you wish to compose... It will run and you should be able to create reasonable sized projects.. but again, it all depends on the plugins used.. the number of them... the number of tracks and so on... so to give a more precise answer is difficult.

Going from G4 to Intel

I am going from a G4 machine to a new macbook. Will my microsoft office 04' for Mac software work on the intel machine or do I need new software?

i know for a fact that office 04 will work on a macbook since it is the very version that i am using on both intel and ppc machines. so no, you dont need new software. but it is highly recommended that when switching from ppc to intel that you reinstall things like office and any other third party software just incase they have an intel native version mainly because ppc versions will use more ram because they also require the use of a program called rosetta to run them on intel.

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!

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

Yes, it is the same spec.
MacBook Pro:
Maximum Memory
16 GB (Actual) 8 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots
2 - 204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
iMac:
Maximum Memory
32 GB (Actual) 16 GB (Apple)

Final cut pro make Mac pro kernel panic with RAM from other manufacturers

hi all
if i installed RAM For mac Pro from 667MHz DDR2 fully buffered ECC RAM from other manufacturers
final cut pro (just final cut)
make the machine kernel panic messege
all programs working good (like adobe and other compositing program) but final cut freez the machine and kernel panic
the standard RAMs good

Ahmed:
You can try visiting/searching the Expanding your Power Mac G5 forum. You'll find A LOT of help about RAM issues.
Any RAM brand must work but you maust be sure it follows the MAc specs. Some brand sites have good product locator by computer manufacturer/model (i.e. Kingston and Crucial). In fact there is no Apple branded RAM, they use a lot of different ones.
Inside FCP settings you'll find how to manage the memory that the program use, but that settings depends on the total quantity of memory you have installed, and you didn't post that information.

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,
Bear

Transfering from G5 to Intel iMac

Hi everyone. My first post here. I have a 20" G5 based iMac I have been using for a bit. I am about to upgrade to 24" Intel iMac. Since I started using OS X, transferring data from one to another has been simple, just attach a firewire cable and good to go.
However, now I am moving over from PPC to Intel, I am faced with either using that method or fresh install to take advantage of as much Intel based software as possible. Main programs I am worried about are MS Office X and Adobe CS3 Premium. I also paid for a bunch of shareware as well. I am fairly certain that when I do the transfer, program does not install the Intel version unless it's Universal. Do some programs tell you to upgrade to Intel version when you run the PPC version? Many questions...
So, what is your recommendation? Fresh install or transfer then individually figure out which ones replace? Thanks much in advance.

Hi, just to let you know, I transferred by saving everything but Apps on an ext HD. Then transfering to my new intel, Apps are best installed from the CD-rom. Shareware Apps, go onto the site and re download, you should have the "key" backed up in your computer.
I used this method for Image Tricks and a bunch of others...In real estate the motto is, Location, Location, Location, with computers it's Back Up, Back Up, Back Up...L

Can I swap ram from a Powermac G4 400 PCI into a Powermac G4 Quicksilver?

Hi,
I have a Powermac G4 400mhz PCI, but I'm looking at getting a Powermac G4 Quicksilver 933. I wondered if I can swap some ram from my Powermac G4 PCI into a Quicksilver.
I have gone to the Crucial website and it says the Powermac G4 PCI and the Powermac G4 Quicksilver both take SDRAM, PC133.
But in my Haynes Mac manual it says the Powermac G4 requires SDRAM, PC100.
Who is correct? I would rather swap of course to save money.
Thanks.

Hi, thanks for the replys.
I have gone into about this Mac, more info and this is the info I get about the memory:
DIMM3/J22:
Size: 256 MB
Type: Unknown
Speed: Unknown
Status: OK
I have recently upgraded to 10.4.8.
I'm sure under 10.4.5 a lot of the info for my ram was not 'unknown'.
Are there any utilities out there that will give me more ram info?
On the Crucial website they have one but it is for PC's only. I'm sure one of the 256 ram sticks are PC133 SDRAM as I bought a ram stick from Crucial about a year ago.
Thanks again.

Transfering Ram from G3 beige tower into 8600/300

Hi all,
My G3 mini tower has 640 mgs ram and my older brother gave me the 8600/300 PowerMac which has 256mgs ram. Can I swap rams from the G3 into my 8600? They show the same specs 168 pin dimms. thanks for your help. Web dude

Web dude,
Close but no cigars. There are two alignment notches in the ram sticks. They look the same but actually, there is a 1mm difference in the spacing of one notch. Do not try to force the one into the other machine.
As you look at the ram sticks for the 8600, you will notice that in the middle (on most brands - I am sure someone will come up with a brand that does not follow the norm : ') ) is a buffer chip that does not match the other silicon chips.
So, the G3 sticks will have an even number of chips and the earlier sticks will have an odd number and the odd one will be the buffer chip.
