Hi:
Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook:
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01295079.pdf
Please see chapter 1, page 2 for how much, and what type of memory you can install.
I recommend you install PC2-6400 memory, since the processors can run it at 800 Mhz instead of 667 MHz, which is all that PC2-5300 can run at.

Can I upgrade my RAM on this model, if so what's the max?
Thanks!

Yes. You can upgrade the RAM to 16GB - that's what I have in my 15" Late 2011 model.
Two good sources for RAM (and the only two that I recommend) are Crucial and OWC. Visit the Crucial website and click on the System Scanner tab. You'll download a small app that, when run, will take you back to Crucial's website with the recommendations for upgrading your RAM.
Good luck,

I own a MacBook Pro 15-inch early 2011 and I want to upgrade the ram to 16 or 8gb is it ok to use a corsair brand memory?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Of course. Corsair RAM is compatible with your Mac and the Early 2011 MacBook Pro supports 16 GB of memory. Make sure you buy the correct memory for your MacBook Pro. See > http://www.corsair.com/us/memory-by-product-family/mac-memory-upgrades.html

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,

I want to upgrade the ram on my macbook pro 13inch (early 2011). i found an 8Gb (4Gb x2) PNY "mac compatible" that is DDR3 PC3-10666 but my macbook is a PC3-10600. Do i need to use a ram with the exact specifications that my macbook lists?

Yes that is your best bet. Without looking at it too closely double check your options here:

I want to upgrade my ram from 4GBs to 8GBs, can you help me?

Dear Apple company,
     I have a Macbook 5,4, but I want to upgrade its RAM from 4GBS to 8GBs, can you help me this quest?
                                                                                                                 Thanks,

This is a customer forum, and not Apple folks. If you wish official or formal Apple assistance, please call Apple directly or visit your local Apple store, or check directly with an Apple reseller.
I don't immediately see a MacBook5,4 around, but I do see a Apple MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.53 GHz 15" model MC118LL/A Mid-2009, and that configuration does reportedly support up to 8 GB of memory per the Apple Specs.
Apple might not stock or offer memory upgrades that far back (but do ask them), though I'd expect various third-party memory providers will likely still have some 4 GB 1066 MHz SO-DIMM DDR3 memory sticks around.
But if yours is really a MacBook5,4 model here — the closest I can find is a MacBook5,2 — then ignore this.

I have an 21.5 Mid 2011 iMac and i want to upgrade my RAM. Currently I have two 2GB and two free slots. Do I have to put in two 2GB in the free slots or can I use two 4GB or 8GB?

You can leave the existing RAM in their current slots and add compatible modules in the empty slots. For best performance, add two of teh same size. Our 2010 iMac 21" shipped with 4GB RAM---two 2GB modules in two of the four slots. I added two 2GB modules to the empty slots and now have 8 GB RAM.
Be sure to order RAM from a trusted Mac-savvy RAM vendor. Some vendors thing a Mac is a hamburger. For over a decade I've bought all our Mac RAM (and we have 18 Macs in teh family!) from one vendor:

The link is to the proper RAM for your Mac.
Crucial.com is also a trusted vendor.

I have a Compaq Mini CQ10-400CA and I want to upgrade the RAM - which can I use?

I want to upgrade the RAM from 1 gig to 2gig on my Compaq Mini CQ10-400CA - the question is which ram can I use? I was told my HP the ram was DDR2 800mhz. Now I have seen this :
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148162
At Newegg in Canada. This looks like it fits the bill, but I don't want to buy it and have it shipped and find out differently. Anyone know if this is a good route to go? It is cheap and it is Crucial, so at least it is reliable.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, that is the correct information you have...You will need DDR2 800 MHz PC2-6400 Memory...I have never used or heard about Crucial, I would suggest going for kingstron or corair and I am kind of 50/50 when it comes to A-DATA...This based on listed on newegg.ca

I want to upgrade my ram macbook pro 15'' without retina to 16gb and want more than 1600 hz

I have a Mac book Pro 15 inch without retina I wish to upgrade the RAM 4 GB to 16GB and I want to putting a ram with more speed then 1600 GHz can someone please tell me what is the maximum and if possible where can I buy it from it has to be compatible with my mac or else it's pointless.
Regards Axl

Sorry, read the post as with retina.
Standard RAM:
4 GB
Maximum RAM:
16 GB*
Details:
4 GB of RAM is installed as two 2 GB modules, no slots free. *Apple officially supports a maximum of 8 GB of RAM, but third-parties have determined that this model actually is capable of using up to 16 GB of RAM with two 8 GB memory modules. In the US (and many other countries), site sponsor Other World Computing sells memory -- as well as other upgrades -- for this MacBook Pro.
http://www.everymac.com
The link you posted is compatible RAM and from a reputable company. I bought my 2 X 8 GB modules from crucial when I upgraded my MBP RAM to 16 GB.
Go with that kit.
Note that DDR3 1600 MHz RAM is the only type of RAM your machine takes.

I have a Powerbook G3 Wallstreet and want to upgrade the Ram.

I recently bought an old Powerbook G3 Wallstreet. But it has some issues with booting up.
It doesn't boot up everytime... I can hear the start sound, but only sometimes the harddrive starts spinning.
So my idea was that maybe one ram module is broken...
But I don't know if the Ram I want to use is compatible with my Powerbook model.
There were 2 Ram modules installed:
And this is the one I want to insert. I took it out of an old Microsoft machine (gericom).
Maybe anyone can help me... or has an other solution for this booting problem.

The SO-DIMM that you want to use shouldn't cause any problems, even though it's the faster PC-133 SDRAM. It should downclock to your PowerBook's slower bus speed. Judging by the shadow (or lack thereof) under each memory module in your photos, the upper SO-DIMM is undoubtedly the original Apple-installed 4-chip, 64 MB module. The "Power Ram" appears to be a 16-chip, 128 MB module, while the Nanya is an 8-chip, 256 MB module. What this means is that each of these SO-DIMMs has a chip density that differs from the other two. The Power Ram's chips have the smallest density, the SEC's chips have slightly greater density, and the Nanya's chips have the greatest density. I always felt that optimal performance in those older Macs was achieved by attempting to match chip densities. I would never have used an original (8-chip) 32 MB DIMM with a newer (16-chip) 256 MB DIMM in one of my desktop or mini-tower G3s. While you'll have 64 or 128 MBs less of total memory installed, I'd prefer to use the Nanya SO-DIMM by itself. If you really need additional memory, you could install the original Apple (SEC) module, but I wouldn't.
As to whether a memory fault is causing the startup problem, I would be more inclined to think that the original (if it is) hard drive is becoming unreliable. A 15 year-old laptop drive has undoubtedly had a lot of use and in an enclosure that doesn't dissipate heat the way a fan-cooled desktop or mini-tower is capable of doing. When the PowerBook does manage to complete startup, how much installed memory is indicated when you select "About this Macintosh" from the Apple Menu — 192 MBs? If so, then both modules are detected and passed the Power-On Self-Test. If memory problems are detected during the POST, you should hear a beep or beeps at startup, indicating a problem.

I have a mid 2009 13" Mac Book Pro. I want to upgrade the RAM from 2GB to 4 GB. Can I use 1333 MHZ modules instead of 1067 MHz?

The manual suggests 1067 MHz modules but my dealer stocks only 1333 MHz modules. Can I use two modules of 2GB 1333 MHz in place of the present two modules of 1GB 1067 MHz.

I wonder if perhaps the new ram isn't exactly right for the computer? When you install a 2gb and one of the 4gb and go to Apple-About This Mac does it show up as 2gb or 6gb? Just thinking perhaps the computer can't read the 4gb cards at all, so as long as one of your old 2gb cards is there to function it doesn't freeze (seems like an odd concept but I've seen it happen in PC years ago, so not sure if it's even possible with current hardware or Mac but it's a thought).
Also, double-check the sticker on your new Ram to be sure it works with your system (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1270) thinking maybe even if you bought the correct package in the store, maybe it contained the wrong product? You didn't say what screen size you have, but it looks as though they are all the same specs (13, 15, and 17-inch MBP mid-2010):
- Double Data Rate Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Module (DDR3) format
-30mm (1.18 inch)
- 2 GB or 4 GB
- 204-pin
- PC3-8500 DDR3 1066 MHz type RAM
I did a quick search and found this thread, same issue, so perhaps it may contain some clues as well: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3797144?start=0&tstart=0 I noticed someone mentioned the brand or source of the purchased ram; I have personally had issues with third party or "other than what the manufacturer recommends" brands of memory over the years. I bought mine from Amazon.com but made sure it was Crucial brand, which I've always had high success with.

I want to upgrade the ram on my iMac mid 2011?

I just want to make sure I buy the right memory cards. I want 4 or 8 gigs of ram installed.
Thanks!
Ryan

Here's what you need:
Maximum Memory
32 GB (Actual) 16 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots
4 - 204-pin PC3-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
Add RAM in matched pairs - matched by size and model number. In the computer the paired slots are side by side, not up and down.
The best sources for RAM are:
OWC
DataMem
Crucial.com

Cs6 I want to upgrade system drive. want do I need to do if i clone old to new drive?

want do I need to do if i clone old to new drive?

Hi Corey,
Please uninstall CS6 and deactivate it before by click on help and choose deactivate/sign out.
Then you can install CS6 on the new drive again.
Thank you for posting on Adobe Forums.

I have a mid 2011 macbook and i want to upgrade my RAM my laptop is currently crashed so i have to open it up to change the hard drive so i figured why not add the RAM. I need to know what type of RAM and if i can put in 2 matching 4gb RAM cards into it

Any help is accepted and i need to know asap!!!
THANKS!

Open your computer's user manual which has a section on adding Memory. I believe it should be:
2 - 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMMs.

Want to Upgrade RAM, Please Help!!!

HI, I have HP Pavilion DV3-2332TX laptop, recently i upgraded it with Windows 10 Home, having 3(2+1)GB RAM 1066MHz, i want to upgrade my RAM, by additional 4GB in pleace of !GB RAM, please tell that do i have to install the new 4GB RAM of same 1066Mhz or can i upgrade it with 1333MHz or more. will it then work like 6(4+2)GB.

Hi, You are running 32 bit Windows 10, adding more RAM to 6GB is wasting money because 32bit Operating system can only access to 4GB of RAM (max). You can swap 1GB with 2GB, that's all, to make 4GB and your system can use around 3.7GB. You have to use same specs with existing RAM, higher speed won't work properly or won't work at all. Regards.
