  • Problems upgrading RAM for Macbook Pro 13" late 2011

    First, thank you all for your assistance.
    I don't know if this has happened to anyone yet. I have a 13" late 2011 MacBook Pro that came with a default 4 GB of RAM. I considered upgrading to 8 GB and problems arose: I had stripes 1 inch in lenght distributed across the screen. I've done some research and saw that it was a hardware problem with the Graphics Card/GPU. I switched back to the original 4 GB and so far so good, no problems. I did notice a few key things:
    Originally I have 384 MB of Video Ram in the GPU
    While using the 8 GB Ram upgrade, it said 512 (called my attention)
    It reverted to 384 when switching to the original RAM
    In the tech specs section of Apple Support site about my machine, it says that the Video RAM is "shared" with main memory. No other knowledge on that.
    Could the RAM upgrade affected the memory supported by the GPU? Why did it increase? Is there any solution to this?
    Thanks to everybody in advance.

    It should - I've 16GB of RAM installed in my late 2011 15" and my built-in card now shows 512MB of VRAM. There might have been a problem with the RAM you installed. I would only buy Crucial, Kingston (not the 'value' brand), OWC or Corsair (again, not the 'value' brand).
    Some RAM sellers simply have less than stellar performance using Macs. Make sure that you install the correct speed and specs as recommended by Apple.
    Good luck,

    Hi
    Is it possible to upgrade the 8GB to 16GB RAM for the above mentioned macbook pro?

    The Retina display models cannot have the ram upgraded post purchase...the ram modules are soldered to the logic board.

  • What is the largest hard drive I can upgrade to for MacBook Pro A1278 Early '11

    What is the largest hard drive I can upgrade to for macbook pro A1278 Early 2011?  I have seen 750GB on some websites, but I would like a 1TB  I am looking for SATA 6.0GB, 1TB 7200.  Is this dependant on the physical size of the hard drive? I have seen a height of 15mm and 9.5 mm.  How do I know what will fit??

    I have not seen any 7200 rpm 1 TB HDDs.  They all are 5400 rpm.  I would say that this HDD comes closest to your requirements.  Tomorrow, there may be others.

  • 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:

  • What's the maximum memory ram for Macbook Pro?

    Hello,
    May I know what's the maximum memory ram capacity for Macbook Pro?
    I am having Macbook Pro - 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Thank you!
    Alvin

    Hate to resurrect a dead horse but....I was looking in the instructions for memory upgrades and the instructions specified that the computer will only recognize 3 gigs. Will that still be in effect if I upgrade to Snow Leopard when it becomes available? Or do I need to save my pennies for a Mac Pro? What I am getting at is: is the reason for the RAM cap due to software issues, 64 bit not being native, different version of leopard used on notebooks, or is it due to hardware issues.

  • Upgrading of Ram for Macbook Pro 15" 2.16GHz core duo

    hi,
    anyone here could enlighten me whether i could upgrade my current MBP's Ram from 2 GB to 3 or 4GB? (20pin DDR2)
    will there be any issue to my system if i also upgrade my internal Hardisk which is currently a SATA 100GB 7200rpm to maybe a SATA 300GB?

    We would have to know which MacBook Pro you have. The most current versions support up to 4GB. The previous Core 2 Duos support up to 3GB. The original Core Duos support up to 2GB.
    So far as upgrading your drive. The drive is not considered user replaceable. If you damage something while upgrading your drive, it will not be covered under your warranty (provided your warranty is still in effect). Also... if something fails down the road that requires you send it back to Apple... and they realize you have installed a new drive, there is a chance they may not cover it under warranty either... as there would be no way to tell that the upgrade you had done did not cause a problem that just took some time to show up.

  • What is the cheapest way to upgrade memory for Macbook Pro

    I want to upgrade my memory to 8GB in my MacBook Pro.
    Apple are charging $400.
    I've seen this for £50. Will it work fine? If not, where can I get the best 8GB memory for a good price?

    It was Kingston memory (KVR1333D3SO/4G; the newer batches are the same part number but are marked by "4GR" following the slash in the number).  I did not buy a paired kit as it was not in stock; this may have contributed to the performance drop.
    The metric in question was Xbench's Memory Test, specifically the System > Allocate number.  Before the upgrade, I routinely benchmarked between 2.5 and 2.9 Malloc/sec (or a score of 750-800).  After the Kingston memory upgrade, I never saw figures above 1.6 Malloc/sec (or a score of 420-450); roughly half of what I had seen prior to upgrading.
    Since installing my OWC memory (which came in a package of two sticks), the performance is generally identical to the OEM (Hynix) across the board.
    Hope that helps/clarifies my observations.
    That helps a lot. Thanks very much for clarifying that. Yes, Kingston Value RAM is definitely not the way to go, as it has not been tested for compatibility, nor designed for use in Macs. See my other posts in this thread.
    Kington's KTA line, OTOH, is tested for compatibility with Mac systems, comes in matched sets, and is very reliable.
    AFA Kingston RAM, bottom line for Mac users:
    KVR = bad
    KTA = good

  • More ram for Macbook pro gaming

    I was wondering i have a 6750m 512mb and 4gb of ram, if i upgrade to 8gb will it help improve anything? will it help boost frames it stuff like call of duty ghost? or anything else i have i7 , macbook pro late 2011

    Sorry, if I was paying attention I would have known that.  I am always of the belief that if you do any type of gaming, especialy console ports, at least 8GB of RAM is a good number and a graphics card with 1GB of dedicated ram.  Gaming asside, I consider 8GB to be a minimum these days.  Apple still pushes 4GB as a jumping off point and for most people doing day to day tasks on a Mac (web browsing, word processing, etc) 4GB of ram paired with an i5 processor is sufficient.  Most i7 processors are good enough for gaming, although quad core will make some difference.  So to answer your question, I would think you will see some frame rate improvements by doubling your ram but the graphics card may still hinder you a bit.

  • Purchase RAM for Macbook Pro  2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Mid-2009

    Hello,
    I need to upgrade the current memory(2 GB) of my Macbook pro (2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Mid-2009) model..Can someone please suggest where I could purchase and what is the maximum and optimal that I could buy.
    Also I reside in India, so should I get it online or from the apple store which is like 100 km (nearest) from my place .
    Thanks
    Shubham

    You can buy them oniine if you wish to do so.  Buying it from Apple is a good idea but would cost more, and since it's 100km away, after your gas = more money.
    The maximum you can install is 8GB.  Your RAM specs are 1333MHz - DDR3 - 204PIN SODIMM.
    Check here for current prices online and compare to the price Apple sells them in your area.
    If you're not in a big rush - then buying online is a good idea.
    Good luck

  • Upgrade ram on macbook pro 2010

    I have bought two different brands (G.Skill and PNY) of ram for my Macbook Pro 13.3 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (2010) trying to upgrade from 4GB to 8GB  and both are not working.  Meaning I followed the exact instructions, didn't touch the Gold and installed it the way I was supposed to.  When I turn it on, it freezes.  When I put the old memory in ( 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 ) it starts up fine.  The new memory is 1066. . .could that be the problem?  I've gone through two "ram finders" where you put in the different specs of the Macbook and it's brought up the exact same ones each time.  The brand I got this time, PNY, said it was Mac Compatible.  What am I doing wrong?  And do I need the exact same brand that's already in my Macbook (Samsung) or is there a different brand that will be comparable? 
    Thanks.  

    It is always advisable to use the same brand for both the memory chip.
    As you wrote you have one RAM stick from PNY and other from G.Skill that may be the cause of problem.
    Buy both the RAM chip of same brand.
    Hope that helps.

  • Problem after upgrading ram in macbook pro 5,3 to 8gb

    Hello.
    I was trying to help my friend, to upgrade his macbook pro 5.3's memmory, from 4 gb to 8 gb.
    We bought the cm3x8gsdkit1066:
    Memory Configuration     Dual Channel
    Memory Type                    DDR3
    Package - Memory Pin     204
    Speed Rating                    PC3-8500 (1066MHz)
    Package - Memory FormatSODIMM
    http://www.corsair.com/en/memory-by-product-family/value-select-memory-upgrades/ cm3x8gsdkit1066.html
    As i see this, the memmory, should be fine, and suported, and the macbook accepts 8 gb as a max.
    When the computer boots, it beeps 3 times, waits, and repeat it. I found this as a error code for the ram?
    So my problem, what can i do to solve this problem? The macbook accepts the old ram, and boots up fine.
    Best regards
    Christian Holm

    It may be that the RAM is not compatible or faulty for some reason.  Have you tried to install it again just to make certain that it is seated correctly.  If still no success, I would return it and get RAM from Crucial or OWC.  They are the two vendors of failsafe Mac RAM.
    Ciao.
    8 Gb RAM for the mid 2009 MBP should cost about $50.  If you paid the price on the link,  you paid too much.
