WHAT KIND OF MEMORY DOES MY COMPUTER TAKE

Hi I have an early 2008 white macbook (4,1) and I want to upgrade my memory. I currently have 1Gb of memory and its too slow. What is the maximum amount of memory my computer can take and what kind does it take ?
Other information:
  Model Name:          MacBook
  Model Identifier:          MacBook4,1
  Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
  Processor Speed:          2.1 GHz
  Number Of Processors:          1
  Total Number Of Cores:          2
  L2 Cache:          3 MB
  Memory:          1 GB
  Bus Speed:          800 MHz
Thanks
Tyler

The model 4,1 can use up to 6gb of RAM. It uses 667mhz PC2-5300 RAM
These are good online stores for RAM
OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/MacBook/DDR2/
Crucial Memory http://www.crucial.com/
Data Memory Systems http://www.datamemorysystems.com/apple-memory.asp
Here are instructions on replacing RAM in a MacBook with a removable battery.  http://homeoffice.consumerelectronicsnet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=44404
If you don’t have the tools to open up the MacBook OWC has a set for $5

  • IMAC 24¨ WHAT KIND OF MEMORY I NEED TO UPGRADE MY COMPUTER?

    I have an IMAC 24¨ What kind of memory i need to upgrade it? It has actually 667CL5

    You posted in the PPC iMac forum, but there was not a 24" PPC iMac.  There are several 24" Intel models.
    To tell what memory you need it is best to check the exact model identifier, click the apple left side of the menu bar, About This Mac, More Info, System Report, Hardware and what does it show as the Model Identifier?  With that you can go to either http://www.everymac.com and find the appropriate iMac and see what the correct memory is.  Or, you can go to OWC, http://www.macsales.com or Crucial, http://www.crucial.com and see what they offer for that model iMac.  They are the trusted sources of Mac memory.

  • IMac G4 PPC, what kind of memory do I need?

    I've looked everywhere, but I haven't found anything that screams "This is clearly the exact thing you need, doofus".
    I own an iMac G4 PPC.
    Here are the specs:
      Machine Name:          iMac
      Machine Model:          PowerMac6,1
      CPU Type:          PowerPC G4  (3.3)
      Number Of CPUs:          1
      CPU Speed:          1 GHz
      L2 Cache (per CPU):          256 KB
      Memory:          256 MB
      Bus Speed:          133 MHz
      Boot ROM Version:          4.5.9f1
      Serial Number:          W8******NHX
    And if this is important, here:
      System Version:          Mac OS X 10.4.11 (8S165)
      Kernel Version:          Darwin 8.11.0
    And this: (Memory)
    DIMM1/J20:
      Size:          256 MB
      Type:          DDR SDRAM
      Speed:          PC2100U-25330
      Status:          OK
    (The only other slot is "DIMM0/J22", and all it says is "Empty".  I'm just assuming that's the one I'm trying to get memory for.)
    For the past since forever, I've been trying to find some memory I can add to it, because it's showing its age.  I love this computer, and I want to get as much out of it as I can.
    The thing is, I can't seem to find the specific type of memory for it anywhere.  And if I have, I sure don't know if it's the right kind.
    I need the biggest possible memory I can put in the slot on the bottom, the one that apparently goes in the "DIMM0/J22" slot, which is the only one out of two that says "empty".
    I've tried a few sites like Crucial, which have a system scanner to help pinpoint your compatibility, but my system doesn't support that application and refuses to run it.
    What kind of memory goes into the user-accessible slot on my machine?
    Can someone please help me out?  I'm sick and tired of that beach ball.

    The role for a coherence node is normally determined by the application. The tangosol.coherence.role system property is used to configure this value. Some out-of-the-box Coherence applications. CacheFactory (com.tangosol.net.CacheFactory) sets this value to CoherenceConsole. DefaultCacheServer sets this value to CoherenceServer. MBeanConnector sets the value to TangosolNetMBeanConnector.

    +: Is it true that if 1 RAM is only 400MHz, and another one in the same PC with 800MHz, both only will only use 400MHz?

  • What kind of adhesive does Apple use?

    The bottom case of my TiBook is a little loose at the battery corner. When I type and rest my palms on the top case, it kind of "pops" or "clicks" a bit as the pressure moves the top and bottom cases together. It's not a big deal, but it's annoying enough to want to fix. I tried to get the folks at my local Apple repair center to deal with it under Applecare (I have about a month left.) They said it wasn't a warrantied problem, but they did offer to glue it for free. I didn't think that was a good idea, so I declined. I have since been told that Apple glued the bottom cases of the TiBook to the frame at the factory, so that would have been the appropriate repair.
    If that's true, what kind of adhesive did Apple use for that, and exactly where was the glue applied? It must have been a prettty strong glue, and sparsely applied, as I didn't see any traces of it when I took the bottom off the computer. In any event, if gluing is the right move, I'd just as soon do it myself. The repair center would take at least a week, since they're usually so backed up. But I don't want to use anything that might damage the case or leak into anything.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    The metal skin is really glued around the edge by a plastic frame. It is this frame that holds the skin to the main frame and can give problems.
    I had to open my ti case to install an airport card. I either did it wrong or the apple glue job was poor because the gray plastic trim around the edge of the metal skin had come loose over 50% of the circumference.
    I had a commercial 3M rubber cement on hand so I used that. I applied it with a toothpick very sparingly (of course the rubber cement gets stringy so the job was a ittle messy).
    I let dry in a warm room for 24 hours. The reason I did that was fumes from curing glue can be caustic and attack some very thin metals etc. I fugured I wanted to lose any fumes before I trapped them in the warm computer.
    It worked well and I haven't had a repeat of the problem.

  • What kind of configuring does Apple do when buying an iPad?

    I've noticed that when you buy an iPad-mini Retina wi-fi + cellular at store.apple.com, and you select the options that you want, that the following statement appears when you select the carrier:
    "Your iPad will be configured to operate with the carrier you choose right out of the box."
    What kind of configuring is going on here? Does Apple simply use the iPad itself to fill in the Cellular Data settings for the chosen carrier and perhaps edit the APN appropriately? Or is there more to it than that? If so, what?
    As part of this step does Apple insert the appropriate nano-sim card into the iPad tray before it is shipped to the buyer?
    Thanks,
    Eric

    Hi Eric,
    I bought an iPad Air 64 GB Verizon Cellular. When I received it I set it up then called verizon. The iPad was ready to connect to Verizon and I could add it to my plan. The cellular setup took about 5 minutes, most of that was a reboot while it propagated itself onto the verizon network. The sim was already installed and the iPad was easy to configure.
    That beats the heck out of driving 6o miles, in my case, to a verizon store, getting a sim, setting up the iPad and driving home another 60 miles.

  • What kind of compression does Acrobat do when files are combined?

    I'm working with some raster print media (specifically PNGs) that I've combined and saved into PDFs for easier printing. The original files are 300dpi scans, lossless compression.
    This is the process I follow:
    select files to combine in Windows Explorer
    right click > Combine supported files in Acrobat
    File size: Default
    wait for the new binder to open in Acrobat
    Save As > Save as type > Adobe PDF Files (*.pdf)
    So it looks like there are two steps where possible compression occurs, 2 (combine) and 5 (save).
    2: The "Default" file size button tooltip says all files are kept at their original quality.
    5: No information is given on screen as to what kind of compression is done.
    The second file type in step 5, Adobe PDF Files, Optimized (*.pdf), gives the option for "Standard" optimization, which compresses images to JPEG and downsizes them to 150dpi. Is this the setting for the first file type as well?

    An ordinary save or save as does no additional compression.

  • What kind of memory for my Macbook Pro Laptop

    Hello:
    I am thinking of getting more memory for my laptop.
    I am unsure on what brand to buy, so I appreciate any input you might have. I have 2 memory slots that have 2gb each. How much can I put in each slot? 4gb, 8gb?
    What kind of prices for the memory?
    Here are the specs on my laptop.
    MacBook Pro
    13-inch, Early 2011
    Processor  2.3 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory  4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
    Thank you!

    You can put an 8GB module in each slot, giving you a total of 16GB. But that's the maximum.
    Good sources of RAM for your model (which use 204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMMs) are Crucial, OWC and Corsair. Other people may recommend other brands, but I would get one of the three (and I only include Corsair because that's what I'm using).
    Good luck,
    Clinton
