What ram for G4 Powerbook 15" Titanium 867mhz?

I am not very computer minded so if anyone can help it would be much appreciated! I have a powerbook G4 Titanium 15" 867mhz and wanted to increase the RAM, i currently have 256mb and realise i can put more in, i wandered if i can have 512mb and my current 256mb together or whether i have to buy two 512mb or whether its best to get a single 1gb? i have heard rumours that you have to have two of the same i.e. a 256mb and 256mb, or a 512mb and 512mb, please can some one give me some advice! Many thanks in advance!

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You can check you current RAM configuration by going to Apple menu > About This Mac > More Info.
Click to enlarge. This is from my iMac but shows that I have 1x 512MB and 1x 1GB modules installed.
Although on some computers you must match pairs of RAM modules it's not neccessary on the Powerbook G4. If you have 2x128MB then I would advise buying 2x512MB PC133 144pin SODIMMs:

Can you put 1GB RAM in a Powerbook G4 12" 867MHZ?

I want to add more RAM to a Powerbook G4 12 inch 867MHz, which only has the 256 MB RAM it was shipped with in it.
I know Apple officially say you can only max out your RAM to 640MB by upgrading to a 512 MB but I've read elsewhere online that you can actually put a 1GB worth of RAM in.
Obviously it's the latter I'd like to do. Can anyone tell me the specs of the RAM I should buy?
Specifically, could I put 1GB 200Pin PC2700 DDR SO-DIMM RAM in my 12" PB G4?
I'm going to buy it online so want to be sure it will work.
Thanks in advance.

Here are some additional RAM resellers that corroborate the fact that you can put 1 GB of RAM in an 867 MHz PowerBook G4 12-inch:

What is the correct power adapter for this PowerBook G4 Titanium?

It's a first generation 15" Titanium PowerBook G4 Model #: M5884 - It's rated 28Vdc-1.607A Max
I have 2 choices for replacement adapters - 45W DC24V 1.875A, or 65W DC24V 2.65A.
I have found numerous conflicting sites for each adapter and just need to know which is correct.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I use a much older version of this.

It works great and can power pore than just your laptop. The one that I have powers a phone at the same time and works anywhere.

What Photoshop for Mac Powerbook G4 (PPC) running OSX 10.4.11?

I want to colourize B&W Photo scans.
No interest in cloud, video or Flash. Based on looking at system reqs, I think I need Photoshop CS3 for PowerPC.
However, I am confused by the plethora of "product" choices and constant name changes.
What's the difference between Photoshop (PS) and Photoshop Elements (PE)??
I'd also like a copy of Lightroom.
The machine is a Mac PowerBook G4 15 Inch, running OS 10.4.11 (Tiger). I am limited to this OS version, as Apple is no longer providing updates for PPC machines.
A new machine is NOT an option.
Can anyone tell me which product is appropriate, and how to order the older version from Adobe? I find the web site navigation limited and less than helpful!

Photoshop Elements is a deliberately emasculated, bargain-basement priced application that borrows only a few Elements of Photoshop proper and adds some hand-holding features for beginners and amateurs, and an album-like Organizer. Personally, I think it's overpriced by at least $50–$60, but from your description it may be all you need.
We do not deal with Elements, here. There's a dedicated Elements forum:
https://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop_elements/content
All of the current versions of Photoshop, Photoshop Elements and Lightroom require a Mac Pro with an Intel CPU to run.
Adobe does not sell anything but the current versions of those applications, which in the case of Photoshop boils down to Photoshop CS6, Photoshop CC and Photoshop CC2014. Adobe does not sell any versions older than that, so you'd be limited to what you can get in the market, like dubious versions you can find on eBay, where the likelihood of your getting ripped off is huge.
Yes, this website is a an ungodly mess.
In a nutshell, you won't be buying anything that runs on your G4 from Adobe.
Remember, you are not addressing Adobe here in the user forums. You are requesting help from volunteers users just like you who give their time free of charge. No one has any obligation to answer your questions.

What RAM for o/cing 3500+ on K8N Neo2 Plat?

Hi all,
Ive been reading all the problems with o/cing these little beasts, and i hope to god i dont run into any of them!
Im not using SATA or RAID so i guess thats a few problems out the way. My current RAM is really turd though, and its time to buy some new stuff. I want 1gb of something that is hopefully going to hit 250x10 with decent timings. Am i hoping for too much? Ive seen a few people with this setup though.
Ive read the recent Anandtech 3200 memory roundup, and had made up my mind on getting the crucial ballistix stuff. Its the only RAM in the test that hit DDR500 and beyond on the A64 platform. (Supposedly on the K8N neo2 aswell) But after more digging it seems that this is infact a load of crap.
What do i buy???????
I dont want to shell out a load of cash on something that isnt going to perform. Im gutted that the crucial 3200 RAM isnt as good as i was lead to believe. It would have been great running DDR500 at those timings.
Anyway, ill also need to get a better HSF. The thermalright slk948 looks good but my local place just got the XP-90's in. Cant seem to find a decent review of them anywhere either. Any recommendations???
Any help would be great,
Cheers

I thought HT Frequency would affect memory throughput but apparently not. I'll try dropping it to 3x. Thanks.
Memtest is good at finding finding errors in a standalone environment by writing a particular pattern to every location in memory then reading it back to make sure it hasn't changed. So it very good for finding marginal chips and validating that everything is properly hooked together. It also has the advantage of running standalone so you eliminate any XP/driver issues from the equation.
Prime95 is an excellent CPU/memory exerciser because it checks the accuracy of an elaborate computational algorithm to make sure of the results. And since it is running under XP it also tests the entire configuration to some extent because drivers and hardware that are marginal will likely fail much faster under the constant load.
What I call Prime95 Lotto is particularly cool. It is the search for the first 10,000,000 digit prime number. If you find it you get a large share of a $100K prize which is currently about $50K. It also runs in the background and utilizes the CPU 100% without affecting your other apps so you can still use your system while it is running.
The Red Rocket Folding Team effort also makes a great background stress tester.

What ram for a G7-2003SD?

I'm trying to add more RAM to my notebook, but I don't know which type/speed etc.
Worst of all, partsurfer does not know my laptop exists, whether I type in G7-2003SD, or the PIC or the serial number.
I wish a booklet was included with the product that listed these basic properties, like how to expand the hardware etc.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
Your notebook can take a maximum 8Gb ram ( ie. 2 x 4Gb modules ). As an example, the upgrade on the following link is suitable ( note that the model in the link is a G7-2003er, however the memory type is also correct for your machine ).
http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=Pavilion%20g7-2003er&Cat=RAM
If you wish to check the specification of your existing ram, download and run CPU-Z - the information you require is found on the Memory and Spd tabs.
The procedure for changing your ram can be found on Page 47 of your Maintenance & Service Guide.

What RAM for KT3 Ultra2-R

Currently I have:
1 x Samsung PC2700 256MB CAS 2.5
I want to upgrade to 512MB. I could get another stick of Samsung, but I would prefer to have it on 1 stick, plus there is only 1 place I can find in the UK that sells them and I'd prefer not to deal with them.
So I'm thinking Crucial would be a good choice, as lots of people recommend them and they will refund/exchange if anything goes pear shaped.
512MB DDR PC2700 • CL=2.5 • Unbuffered • Non-parity • 6ns • 2.5V • 64Meg x 64
£116.09
Doesn't sound too bad to me. Has anyone had trouble with Crucial RAM on the KT3?
I've also noticed that Corsair do PC3000, 3200 and now 3500 CAS2 modules. Firstly, can my board handle them, and would there be a noticeable difference between them and the Crucial?
System spec:
AMD XP2200+ TBred A
MSI KT3 Ultra2-R
Samsung PC2700 256MB CAS 2.5
Geforce 2 Ti
300W PSU (soon to be Enermax 430W)

Hi,
I suppose you realise that you can't install multiple sticks of high speed RAM and maintain the memory bus speed that would be indicated by the RAM speed?
Because of issues with the VIA chipset and others, the timing control of the memory bus is basically, barely under control and can only cope with a single stick of high speed RAM at the nominal RAM speed, say DDR400. Each additional stick will "clock-down" the memory bus to the next lower default setting, ie two sticks - DDR333, three sticks - DDR266.
It all seems rather unsatisfactory and in reality, it is but there is little to be done at the moment until such time as VIA and others develop chipsets that can properly cope with the demands of genuine high speed RAM.
So, I guess this means that if you want to increase your RAM size and maintain the highest possible memory bus speed, you are limited to a single stick of 512MB, 1GB (if they're out there). I've heard and read patchy reports of the performance of Crucial RAM and as a result, would not really recommend it. Corsair on the other hand, is very well engineered and manufactured and I would not hesitate to recommend their products in whatever combination of speed/size that you wanted to use. Hope that helps some,
Cheerio,
Dimal.

UK RAM for Powerbook 15

I posted my original question in the wrong forum!
Where would be the best place to purchase extra RAM for a Powerbook 15 ? Do you think ebay is a viable source ?
If not , where do I go and exactly what do I buy ?
Mark

Where ever you go to buy your RAM be sure to make absolute sure that the RAM you buy is specifically rated for use with your PowerBook. That is, the manufacturer explicitly states that the model RAM you are interested is fully compatible. If you do this then you are far more assured that you will avoid the issues that you see in these discussion lists.

Big RAM and little RAM for Wallstreet

Hi,
I just received my 512MB (2 256MB chips) RAM for my PowerBook G3 Wallstreet. One of the chips is the normal size and the other one is much bigger, but it will still fit in perfectly, it's just alot wider, like double the other chip. My question is: Which chip goes in the bottom slot and which goes in the top?
Thanks

Well, I installed the modules and it seems to run great (recognizes all 512MB). If it starts to act weird I'll put the 192MB back in but it does seem to run just fine. And, as I said, the seller guarantee's that the RAM will work in this machine so If It causes my machine to stop running then they're responsible. Here's the actual description from the auction:
This auction is for 512MB KIT MADE OF 2PCS OF 256MB PC100 SO DIMMS. ONE WILL FIT IN THE UPPER SLOT AND ONE WILL FIT IN THE LOWER SLOT OF THE POWERBOOK G3 WALLSTREET/LOMBARD VERSIONS. These modules have been tested in our ISO 9001:2000 Government approved facility. Like all modules we sell, these modules have a LIFETIME WARRANTY and is GUARANTEED to be compatible with your Model.

Upgrade Options for PowerBook G4 Titanium

I have a PowerBook G4 Titanium with Mac OS 10.1 installed.
I would like to install the most recent OS possible on it.
What are the options I have? Is it Tiger or Leopard? Do I have to buy a retail DVD or does Apple sell upgrade DVDs? How is it all done?
Any help will do. Thanks in advance.

You can install the latest version of Leopard provided your PB has an 867 MHz or faster processor and at least 512 MBs of installed RAM (more would be better.) You will have to purchase the retail package. There are no upgrade DVDs available.
If your machine does not meet the requirements for Leopard then you can install Tiger. However, Apple no longer sells Tiger so you will need to find the retail package elsewhere such as eBay. Be sure you only purchase the retail version (black labels.)

Somewhat confused about what RAM to get for PB G4 (the DDR2 model)

Hello. This is a long post since I'll try and explain in great detail what the problem is. I've purchased a refurbished 15.2" Power Book G4 off ebay the other day, it is the last 15 inch powerbook G4 apple released in October '05 since it has DDR2 RAM.
I haven't got the laptop yet, but figured I'd think ahead and get some more RAM for it to max it out. However I'm in a confused state of mind now as to what RAM will actually work in the laptop. On the Apple specification page for the laptop (which also lists the 1.67ghz 17 inch and the 1.5ghz 12 inch), it states for the 15 inch that it works with:
"512MB (single SO-DIMM) of PC2-4200 DDR2 SDRAM running at 333MHz; two SO-DIMM slots; support for up to 2GB"
Is that correct though? PC2-4200 RAM is 533MHz, not 333MHz. Or at least all the PC2-4200 RAM I can find is running at 533MHz. The 333MHz DDR2 modules are called PC2-2700. The other odd thing is, I use lowendmac.com a lot for specifications since I find they tend to list more details than Apple generally do (or at least they tend to go into more detail). On the page for the same laptop they state:
"RAM: 512 MB, expandable to 2 GB using 533 MHz PC2-4200 DDR2 RAM"
So they are apparently in agreement with my train of thought here. Not that I'm disagreeing with the official Apple specifications of course, it's just really confusing. Now I know I need SO-DIMM RAM, so I went onto an online retailer I generally use for this sort of stuff and found some Kingston value ram real cheap:
1GB, SO-DIMM, PC2-4200 533MHz, Non-ECC CL4 Unbuffered 1.8v module. Model number KVR533D2S4/1G.
Is this going to work in the laptop? If I believe Lowendmac.com, it will. If I believe Apple specs, it probably won't, or at least it may cause undesirable operation. Just to see what Kingston had to say on this, I went onto Kingston's website (valueram.com), I used the configurator search function and put in powerbook g4 as model, and it showed me a list of powerbooks. I picked mine (15 inch using DDR2) and sure enough it came up with the right page, and listed two RAM modules Kingston sell. A 512mb (of which I'll ignore), and the 1GB (the one I want).
The 1GB module was model number KTA-PB533/1G. Now just looking at that suggests to me that it is 533MHz, since it has 533 in the model name (and a trend with Kingston model numbers is to put the speed in the model name). Just to be sure though I did look for some detailed specifications but oddly enough I couldn't find any for that RAM module on their website so I googled it instead, and came up with several websites suggesting that it was 533MHz.
So, what should I do here? It would seem Apple's specs saying 333MHz was wrong, however I've got two RAM modules by Kingston here and they both appear to have the same specifications except one is obviously specifically for the powerbook, the other is just for generic laptops. So unless the one specifically for the powerbook is a different shape or something I can't see any reason why I should should pay a lot more money for the specific model, when I can get the apparent same exact RAM module for a bargain.
This is, confusing.

Strong recommendation to not go 'cheap' on the memory. Powerbooks are particular about the quality of memory, due primarily to the way Apple manages power on the memory bus. While some memory can meet Apple's published specs, it can fail in use. if you scan these discussions, you'll find people who have tried the KVR (Kingston value ram) memory and it has not worked for them. If you want to try it, suggest you get it from someplace you can return it and get your money back.
As already mentioned, Crucial (also sold as Micron) and Samsung are two brands that work reliably. Regular Kingston memory works well too. Crucial guarantees their memory will work when chosen from their memory selector at http://www.crucial.com . You can usually find a discount coupon on the web too. Samsung you buy through distributors, and I'd also recommend OWC at http://www.macsales.com . Kingston you already know is at http://www.kingston.com . You can scan the discussions for other brands that have worked (like Hynix, mentioned in the prior post, for example).

RAM from Powerbook vs. RAM for MacBook

Because Apple could not repair my Powerbook 17-inch, they replaced it with a new MacBook Pro. Now I have 2 GB of RAM I had installed in the Powerbook that I'd like to sell or trade for additional RAM for the MacBook. (I assume that the PC2-4200 from the Powerbook is not compatible with the MacBook -- please advise if that's incorrect.) How do I get some value out of the practically brand-new RAM from the Powerbook (which cost me $310 new in 11/2005)? I assume that the best way to get an additional 1 GB of RAM into the the new MacBook is simply to buy the appropriate RAM chip and install it -- but I'd appreciate any suggestions on that too.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7) 1 GB of RAM
Mac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Terry
You're correct,The PowerBook RAM is not compatible with the MBP.
As far as selling the old RAM,Ebay is an option.
Although I seriously doubt you'll get anywhere near what you payed for it.
For new RAM,I use and reccommend OWC... http://macsales.com

what ram do i get for my MacBook 3,1?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You have a Late 2007 MacBook, that uses 667 MHz DDR2 RAM. Officially, it supports 4 GB of memory, but you can install 6 GB of memory. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1651#link3
If you want more memory, you can buy the memory in OWC or Crucial (Crucial is cheaper and offers the same compatibility warranty as OWC) > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/MacBook/DDR2/

The important thing to do is make sure you get ram from a reliable, Mac-friendly source as Macs are very sensitive to their ram. Two good sources are Crucial and OWC, http://www.macsales.com both will tell you just what ram you machine will take and guarantee compatibility and give a lifetime warranty. And they have on-line videos on how to install.
