TA23843 How much memory upgrade can I get on a late 2006 imac

Looking to purchase GB memory for late 2006 iMac. What do I get and how much will it support? I want to install OS Lion but need 2GB to do that apparently.

Here are the specs and maximum capacity for your Late 2006 iMac:
    667MHz DDR2 SDRAM (PC2-5300), supports up to 3GB
I would recommend OWC or Crucial as excellent online vendors in the US.
Hope this helps

    to whom it may concern:
    How I upgrade my memory of macbook 2007,  I have 2gb

    Get the user manual: MacBook (13-inch, Mid 2007) - User Guide. If you have the Mid-2007 model you can install 4 GBs (2 GBs in each slot) but only 3 GBs will be active. If you have a Late-2007 model you can install up to 6 GBs of RAM.

  • I am debating how much memory I need to get on my Ipad?  Any thoughts

    I am interested in getting an Ipad2 but do not know if I need 16gb or 32gb memory?  Any thoughts?  I would probably have 20 to 30 apps running on the Ipad2.

    He was asking a very relevant question, many of us ask when purchasing an ipad.
    Your answer is irrelevant and wrong. The question was how much memory do I need for my ipad? not how much ram or is it future proof through upgrade. What you term as storage is flash 'memory' and the other, DDR is indeed RAM. The difference with this application being one is volatile & the other is not. Its obvious he is talking about flash memory so why post for the sake of it?
    I used to own ipad 1 64GB/3G device (bad WIFI experience & returned the device). However I initially used it for web browsing, watching catchup TV, books & some apps. As I have other devices for music and films I really didn't benefit from the additional expense.
    HD films typically consume ~2GB, single 128 bit song of ~4mins is about 4MB, most books do not comsume a great deal of space. Given films have the greatest impact it largely depends how many films you wish to carry around. Given they can be swapped in/out very easily with itunes its not a big deal. Additionally there are many tools that permit you to lower the film quality to reduce the file size.
    Having some idea of file sizes and how many of each media type you wish to carry around you can extrapolate the most suitable memory density for you.
    Good luck with whichever model you select.

  • How much extra data can you get with Share Everything?

    It says that if you need more than 10 GB you can buy 2 GB for $10. Is that a 1 time shot or could someone buy an additional 20 GB for $100? Or even an extra 100 GB for $500 if they wanted too?

    Why would they stop you while you are paying for it?  It's an overage and they more than likely let you go as high as what you are willing to pay for like with their other data plans(That are not unlimited).
    Well for one if even a small % of people used 100 GB a month I suspect that would hamper the network. That's the whole reason for them scrapping unlimited and having caps isn't it? So I assume there would be some limit. And yes I realize the number of people that would actually do that is extremely small. But if you use a lot of data on a pay for what you use basis as opposed to $30 for unlimited, that extra money can be utilized for the network so it can handle the extra data.
    Of course these new plans say up to 10 devices. Unless otherwise stated I assume that could be 10 smartphones. So 10 people could just all be a part of one plan and get data cheaper than if they were all on single plans.
    For example 10 individuals who each wanted 4 GB of data would pay $110 a month each on single plans.( $40 for the phone $70 for 4 GB of data ) Combined they could get a plan with 10 phones; $400 for the phones, the initial 10 GB for $100 and another 30 GB for $150( 15 2GB add-ons at $10 each ) for total of $650 so a cost of $65 each. I'm not sure if that's what Verizon had in mind. How many people are going to agree to be financially responsible for the cell phone bills for themselves and 9 of their friends? I know I am not going to take that on my shoulders and I doubt there are many that would. The ones that would, will quickly change their minds when some of their friends start skipping payments for their usage and the person responsible is left holding the bag.
    A) I doubt any extar money I pay will IMMEDIATELY be put to use expanding the network. My extra usage is happening NOW while improvements to infrastructure take YEARS.
    B) 10 friends? maybe not. 10 family members? maybe. For example under the old plans you couldn't have more than 5 to an account. My friend recently got married to a woman that has 4 kids. All teenage years and older. He has 3 himself. That's 9 people. No way they could all have been on the same plan. Now they can. Whether that's wise or not that's their decision but at least it's an option. And if everyone wanted 2 GB or more data each that would require the purchase of several 2 GB add-ons.

  • How much memory can I put in my MacBook?

    Hey,
    I have a MacBook.
    Processor 2.13 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory 2 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    and I am wondering how much memory I can put in the thing.
    By day my wife uses it for work and pictures and stuff and by night I use it for DJing so I need AS MUCH space as possible.
    Thank you for your time!!
    ~JM~

    Up to 6gb although 4gb would be cheaper http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook/White/2.13GHz

  • I have an iMac 5,1 with an Intel Core 2 Duo. I'd like to be able to use iCloud, but need Lion which is too big. How much memory can I add? And will this upgrade allow me to install Lion?

    I have an iMac 5,1 with an Intel Core 2 Duo. I'd like to Lion, in order to use iCloud, but the specs indicate I don't have enough memory. How much memory can I add? And will this upgrade allow me to install Lion?

    I believe your model iMac can address 3 GB RAM; the minimum for Lion is 2 GB - however, that is an absolute minimum for very light use. You would be much happier with a minimum of 4 GB.

    (You can install 4 GB, but it will only be able to address about 3.1 - 3.2 GB)

  • My mac is runnug out of disk space. Do /i need to by external drives?  how much memory should i get

    My imac is running out of disk space. I download a lot of media from itunes. The HD movies and TV shows use so  much space. Should I switch to the cloud, clean up my memory or buy an external memory drive? If i get an external drive how much memory is suggesyed? 1TB, 2TB or more?

    Buy an external hard drive on which to save your media. The drive should be large enough to handle your entire iTunes Library plus how much you would anticipate adding to the library over the next few years. Then backup your existing library to the external drive: iTunes- Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive.
    After you have backed up the library to the external drive you can configure iTunes to use the library on the external drive in iTunes > Preferences > Advanced. Change the path to the external drive. Once you do that quit and relaunch iTunes. It should now be using the library on the external drive. Now you can delete the library on the internal hard drive to free up the space.

  • How much memory can i put in my imac

    how much memory can i put in my new imac       

    Assuming it's a 27" 2012 machine, it will accomodate up to 32GB. I'd strongly recommend reputable vendors such as OWC (www.macsales.com) or Crucial.
    If you bought a 21.5" iMac the RAM is not upgradeable. The 21.5" machines will accomodate up to 16GB from Apple however you have to order the machine with 16GB directly. OWC does provide RAM upgrade kits for the 2012 210.5" iMacs however it is MAJOR surgergy and is full of risks including fatally damaging the machine and invalidating the warranty.

  • How much memory can Premiere Pro use on a new Mac Pro?

    I'm ready to upgrade memory on my Mac Pro Late 2013 6-core.  Does PP CC 2014 have a limit on how much RAM it can use?  Some apps never use more than a certain amount, so I don't want to buy a lot of memory if PP will never put it to work.  (I made that mistake when I was an FCP user.)  Is there a limit and if so, what?
    Also, are there any Mac Pro users who have an opinion on optimum RAM?  I currently have 16GB (4x4GB) with 10GB reserved for PP.  I am in the middle of a very large project and have noticed some irregularities and spinning balls.  I assume that they are from memory shortage since quitting all other apps and restarting PP seems to fix the issue.

    Not a Mac expert here ... but I do know there's folks running 64G ram and so going up from 16 will work fine. Now ... as to which is the "choke-point" ... that's a bit more techie than I can answer off the bat.
    The Adobe video apps can put a pretty good strain on all of the computer's hardware, and "balancing" the assets of the hardware to the usage patterns of the software is always the trick. Memory never hurts ... but if the spinning ball is a video-ram problem, changing mobo ram isn't going to do much. The various areas they go into great detail on within the pages of the "Tweakers Page" (found within these forums threads, check the hardware forum) are of course, mobo, chip/s & cores, ram, disc in-outs & arrays/layout of project/footage & program files, video card & ram.
    Your problem might be best solved by more RAM; it might be that it's a disc read/write issue and either more internal or eSATA II discs to spread read/write processes over would be best ... or taking an array of discs and using a fast multi-disk RAID array to speed things up even faster, or a video card upgrade.
    So ... where you might want to go is the the Hardware Forum and give your computers complete specs, including disc layout and usage, and see what folks there think needs tweaking.

  • I have an iMac OS X Version 10.5.8 but I also have a MacBookPro 10.7.5 version, why software updates are not the same? For example, when I want to know how much memory can not store in the same way in either computer.

    I have an iMac OS X Version 10.5.8 but I also have a MacBookPro 10.7.5 version, why software updates are not the same? For example, the way to see how much memory I have in my iMac is diferent than MacBookPro. And where I can see the memory of the disc I've got in my iMac? Than you very much.

    If you want everything the same on both computers you need to be running the same OS X version. You can't because your iMac is a PPC machine, not Intel.
    But to see information about your hard drive is the same for both. Simply select the drive icon on the Desktop. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. Disk information is in the upper panel.

    The position of Apple is that the Late 2011 can take 8 GB, however, OWC, http://www.macsales.com and Crucial, http://www.crucial.com both guarantee their 16 GB ram packages to work.  Both are sellers of high quality ram that is guaranteed to work in Macs.
