What about this Ram?

I want to upgrade my mbp 2011 ram to 8GB.
Is this a good quality ram ?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kingston-Technology-Apple-8GB-Kit/dp/B001PS9UKW/ref=sr_1 _1?ie=UTF8&qid=1312031082&sr=8-1
Do i void apple's guarantee by changing it by my self?
Is there any better ones for that price or the same quality for a lower price?
Any help appriciated.

I've read that people like Crucial and OWC. Another good chice is Kingston is another good choice. I personally bought the Corsair because of the price. Remember different people have different experiences with the various manufacturers of RAM. So opinions differ. Many had mixed reviews about the Corsair. But for me and for my new 2011 MBP it has been great. Just remember you need the 1333Mhz DDR3. What I learned was Apple puts Samsung RAM in the 2011 MBP. That's what was in mine when I replaced. The final choice is yours to make. Hope this helps. One other thing whatever RAM you choose don't forget to do the memtest once you install it. The easiest way to do this is to download Rember it is a GUI front end for memtest. It is free to use. A final note, be extremely careful how you unpackage the RAM you buy, and be sure to seat it firmly when you replace it. You can do it yourself it is not difficult at all. Takes about 10-15 minutes. You'll need a #00 phillips head screw driver to remove the screws on the bottom of your MBP. Remember too by adding more RAM it will increase slightly the operating temperature of your MBP, but not significantly.

What brand of RAM do you recommend with this board?

Hey guys!
I wanted to know if any of you guys could recommend RAM that would be good for this system. I am running a custom water cooling kit so I am planning of pushing the processor to 4ghz+. The problem I have right now is that I cant get the RAM to run past 410mhz, and thus it is limiting my processor FSB to 205. Also I am pretty sure this ram is limiting my video card tremendously. Also what speed would be suitable? Could I go with a good ddr433 dual channel kit? Or should I plunge to ddr500? I tried searching these boards but its hard to find info about what people recommend about ram. I was mainly hoping to learn from everyones experience.
As a side question, my video card is performing below average. I have the PCI latency set to 64 and agp aperture size is at 128, are these settings good?
Currently I am running:
875p Neo LSR
Prescott 3.4ghz
Asus Ax800XT PE
256x2 DDR400 2-3-3-6 Geil Golden Dragon in dual channel
Ultra X-Connect 500W PSU
Thank you in advance!

I scrapped it all. As long as you buy a good brand you'll be ok. Corsair is probably the best. 235x17=3995. So pc 4000 would cover you to 4.0 easy, provided you get there. Try to get the lowest latency ram you can afford, other than that just make sure its a good brand. Corsair, Ocz, G-skill and maybe Geil?.

Until you buy faster ram, you can set a divider to see how high the proc will go.

Hmm. The problem still may be the RAM - Apple buys the RAM it puts in its machines from third-party vendors (usually Hynix) so it could be a RAM problem.
There are a couple of things that you can do yourself before taking your machine into an Apple Store or an AASP... download and run an application named Rember that will run a RAM test for you - let it run for a couple of hours or even overnight. If it turns out that your RAM is faulty, Rember will let you know. If it is faulty, then you have a couple of options - replace the RAM yourself or (particularly if you're under warranty still) take the machine to an Apple Store or AASP and have them replace the RAM.
If Rember finds no fault with the RAM, then you'll need to take it into an Apple Store/AASP and get a free diagnosis on the machine. Three beeps do usually indicate faulty RAM, but if it tests good with Rember you likely have another problem - it could be something as simple as the RAM, somehow, not seated correctly or signs of another hardware problem.
Run Rember first... call back with results.
Good luck,
Clinton

Amazon has the FBDIMMs and at excellent price. Can't say the same for OWC on price or quality really when it comes to those FBDIMMs. OWC 'sometimes' has had a lot of trouble - or people on here with having to go through multiple exchanges with new sets back in 2009-10 plus charge much higher.
They want 3x what I paid for 16GB and they are not even as good let alone better even in support and warranty.
"Came with software" you don't own is what that usually means, not the license and master copy etc.
I keep my 1,1 running and yes dumped a lot $$ into it over the years, probably longer than warranted (did a lot of upgrades in 2013: ATI 5770, Sonnet Tempo, 16GB FBDIMMs) and I keep upgrading and replacing SSDs went from 128GB to 250GB to 500GB and moving some to the Sonnet Tempo SSD.
It does not qualify as 64-bit firmware (EFI32 vs UEFI EFI64) and has lesser PCIe 1.0 and only 1 - 16x, 1 - 8x, 1 - 4x, and 1 - 1x slots. So graphic card in 8x or 16x and your most demanding card. Only the lower slot is double-wide for most any graphic card.
Lion stopped getting security updates last month too, and some software more and more requires 10.8 or above. There are ways to force those to run on 2006, might be fun if you have the mind set of a programmer or like to fiddle with operating systems.
I already pointed to Amazon and brand and mentioned those keep to 59*C and have them in mine for nearly two years.
I think even with the cost of Windows 8.1 license I assembled (already had case and PSU and SSD/HDD) an i7-4771 PC for $800, vs. the cost of upgrades I did in 2013 alone on my Mac Pro which though has stood me well for 8 years. People that already own one feel fine upgrading, and some have replaced processors for 8-core 5355s when that made sense and could use it now that you can find ebay pair for $100 or even less. But Sonnet Tempo Pro etc today? I just wish there was a desktop - 4-core (not dual core), not soldered memory. A step above the Mac-Mini. And a Mac-Mini fully configured costs way too much for my tastes.

Is this RAM compatible with the TS130?

I found this RAM by doing a search with the stats of the RAM that comes with the TS130 and it's much cheaper, but I'm not sure if it will work. I noticed that this memory is simply DIMM instead of uDIMM, so I want to be sure before I buy it. Thanks!

RAM you get must be designated for your age and type of model in question. Getting a specific timing such as
"....PC3 8500; the Amazon RAM is PC2 5300" is insufficient to guarantee compatibility. First identify exactly what model you have according to Apple, then buy RAM from a vendor that says the RAM is for the age of model in question. Here are tools to find your model and model age:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6413
And three vendors that sell by the age/model:

There may be others. Do not buy valueRAM or any RAM without a lifetime warranty.

Hi Roberto,
> Don't want to leave this question just hanging...
   ... but you did. You haven't added any new information. You won't learn any more about the panic from the panic log alone. William is by far the best at reading panic logs of anyone ever to have graced this list. He has actually contributed code to Darwin's kernel. I was thrilled that he posted on this thread because he is probably familiar with the code that throws a Machine Check error. He has indicated the it probably came from your USB driver or the memory controller.
   You should be able to test your RAM with the hardware test disk that came with your computer. If that test shows no problems then you've probably connected a device to your computer via USB that is misbehaving. If a panic occurs every time you plug in a particular device then the culprit is obvious but if the panic hasn't reoccurred then it's unlikely that you'll ever find out exactly what happen this time.

R830 - What kind of RAM do I need

Hi All,
Toshiba telephone support was unable to help me so I turn to you.
I have a Portege R830 (Model: PT320C-01J018) which has 4GB of RAM.
I assume this is commonly referred to as Portege R830-01J model? (I hope I'm right otherwise my model number simply does not exist)
I am running 64bit Win7 and would like to add another 4GB, as I wish to run VMWare. However I simply cannot figure out what kind of RAM I need to buy. The technical specs.
Crucial RAM website says I need DDR3 1600 PC3-12800
Kingston RAM website says I need DDR3 1333 PC3-10600
An ad on Ebay says I need DDR3 1333 PC3-10600 (same as what Kingston recommends)
I opened up the slot for the RAM but could see no markings that were helpful.
If anyone out there can shed some light on this I'd really appreciate it! Thanks.

Portege R830 PT320C-01J018
We support US computers at this site. Everything for that Canadian model is here.
According to the spec above, Toshiba offers this RAM.

What are using RAM on Macbook Pro Retina

Hi all Mac users,
Here is the question I always ask myself when I look at Memory usage from Activity Monitor. There are many things there and have a weird names. Is there any ways to know what are using RAM on your MacBook Pro?
Thanks

Compare what Activity Monitor is showing to this list.

DiskWarrior: "not enough contiguous space"? -What does this mean??

Having issues, cannot reboot, after software update. Grey screen + Apple comes up, but no wheel and no further booting.
I'm able to boot from the DW CD.
Hard drive capacity is 74.41GB/ available space 21.81GB.
Graph of hard drive shows 5% out of order.
I rebuilt the directory which shows NO changes to the number or contents of files and folders... BUT...
"There is not enough contiguous free space for a fail-safe replacement of the directory. It is highly recommended that you create 132 MB of contiguous free space before replacing the original directory."
So what does this mean? Contiguous free space on the hard drive or in RAM?
(The hd doesn't seem to make sense, since it shows over 21GB of available space.)
I've ordered a new 1GB RAM module which should arrive Friday, but should I install this when the computer won't even boot on its own?
Help! I'm stuck and don't know what to do next. I have no idea how to go about creating 132 MB of contiguous free space.

DW is telling you it needs 132MB of contiguous — i.e., unfragmented — hard drive space. Apparently you don't have it, because all your free hard drive space is fragmented into segments smaller than 132MB. With nearly 21GB of free space in all, that's very surprising. It suggests that the files using space on your drive must be much more fragmented than is common in OS X, which defragments most files automatically without any input from you.
Ideally, what you would do to defragment everything on your drive, including the free space, is clone that drive to an external hard drive, and then clone the external drive back onto the internal drive. The second step in that process would erase the internal drive and then write everything back to it in unfragmented form.
But to do that, you'd have to be able to start the Powerbook up from a source disk that contained a cloning utility and enabled you to use it. The simplest way of doing that would be to have an external drive divided into two partitions: one small partition with an OS and a cloning utility (and perhaps other disk utilities) installed on it, so you could start up from it, and another larger partition of a suitable size for cloning the internal drive to: i.e., about the same size as the internal drive, or at a minimum, 10% larger than the amount of space that's actually used on the internal drive. If you don't already have such an arrangement, you're in no position to create one now except by going out and buying an external Firewire hard drive.

What make of RAM should be in a MacPro and would they all be the same make in a new computer?

My MacPro is only just over 3 years old and 6 of the 8RAM have stopped functioning.
I put the question - how long should RAM last - and had some replies.
One of the replies led me to wonder what make of RAM should be or should I expect to be in a New MacPro.
Should they all have been the same make when new?
2 of the 6 broken RAM are hynix which I believe are used by Apple. I don't know what the make of the 2 functioning RAM are?
The other 4 defunk RAM were made in Singapore with a logo - an oval with an M running through it. I can't find any reference to this on the web.
I am in discussion with the supplier of my Mac so any information would be of help.
8Gb of RAM should last longer than 3years.
The other downer/bad luck was that the Apple care package I bought ran out in January just a few months ago although this slowing of my computer started before then but only bad enough last week to have it checked out.
So disappointed with MacPro. I expected better.
I am having to go back to a PC which the Mac replaced which is still functioning after 7 years so......Mac or PC??????
At this moment in time the PC is proving more reliable and much cheaper!!!!
Thanks in advance

The cpu heat sinks are not attached to the ram and this is off topic so I am not going to debate it further with you. If you have a mac pro open it up and look inside for youself. If you don't stop speculating.
I should add these dimms do have their own heat sinks but they are physically part of each dimm itself.

My Power Mac G4 booted from an OS 9.1 install CD, and then froze up. Now I turn the machine on, beeps 3 times, power button blinks 3 times. What does this mean?

I tried to install Mac OS 9.1. I turned the computer on, heard the bong noise (although with some static), and inserted the OS 9.1 installation CD. It started to boot, but froze up. I rebooted the machine, and the same thing happened. One more reboot, and i get 3 beeps and the power button is blinking. What does this mean?

Hi, it indicates a RAM problem, (or Logic Board around the RAM).
The power on self-test resides in the ROM of the computer. This test runs whenever the computer is turned on after being fully shut down (the power-on self-test does not run if the computer is only restarted).
If a fault is detected during the test, you will not hear a normal startup chime. Instead, the system will beep as explained below. If you experience one of these beeps, you may call your Apple Authorized Service Provider for additional troubleshooting assistance.
1 beep = no RAM installed
2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
3 beeps = no good banks
4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
5 beeps = processor is not usable
In addition to the beeps, on some computers the power LED will flash a corresponding number of times plus one. The LED will repeat the sequence after approximately a 5-second pause. The tones are only played once.
Note: In this case, a flash is considered to be 1/4 second or 250 ms or greater in length.

What kind of RAM for a MacBook?

I bought the Intel Core Duo 2.0GHz MacBook and I'm wondering what kind of RAM this computer uses? It's the model preceding the current MacBook.

Both MacBook models use the same, if you want to make sure you are getting compatible RAM, buy from a company that guarantees mac compatibility like
http://www.crucial.com
http://www.macsales.com
Both of them have memory advisors for Apple computers on their site.

What is this Ram!!??
