ram

Hello all. Looking at getting this for my Mac Pro 6,1. I'm not dead certain it will be compatible though. Mac Pro supposedly supports registered ECC memory but I recently bought 128gb worth of 1866mhz ram and it didn't like it. Apparently the speed clocks down on 128gb to 1066 so I'm wondering...

I’m looking to get an used Macbook (doesn’t matter Air or Pro). I usually have hundreds of tabs open as well as several excel spreadsheets - which my 2015 MBP has been handling - but I want a faster processor. I’m unsure how the processor would affect the RAM usable. Would the 8gb M1 MBP be able...

Hi all, I decided to upgrade the stock RAM (2x4GB) on my iMac 27 2020, and bought an extra 2x8GB. I installed these in the AABB configuration and it's correctly reporting 24GB RAM at the right speed. However, on further reading I think that I may lose dual-channel with this config. So my...

Hi kind tech enthusiast. I had a friend as if it is slowing his latest get Intel iMac down by having 2x 16GB Apple official RAM and 1x 32 Crucial RAM upgrade all in the system at the same time. He used Crucial's tool to ensure it was right but his mismatch combo of Apple Branded/ Crucial (48GB...

Running a 2019, 15inch 32gb MBP and my memory pressure occasionally goes into orange when going heavy in After Effects. Looking at buying a new machine, don't want to pick up a 64gb unnecessary as I would need to go for the Max Chips. But my concern is that the ram is shared between the GPU...

So, once more in the hopes of removing my own ignorance rather than telling you why my way is the only way, I’m fascinated by RAM use. ALL of my sub units (I’m responsible for tech choices and updates for nine people +/-) do fine with 8GB of RAM (specifically on Apple Silicon; definitely not...

Im trying to upgrade the RAM on an 2020 5k iMac 27". It currently has 8gb not sure if its using two slots or one, however I wanna upgrade to 32gb. I found on crucial the following item [2 x 16gb 2666MHz](https://www.crucial.com/memory/ddr4/ct2k16g4sfra32a) but unfortunatedly, it does not get...

Hello, I am a computer science student. I want to buy a mac to learn ios development(I already know android) and do college tasks. I will run the apps on a physical device, not an emulator, with a couple of tabs open (not many). Will a macbook air m1 with 8gb/256gb suffice? I can't afford buying...

I think it's time to retire my M1 Mac Mini with 8GB/256GB, which back then I got because I lacked the money and my PC broke. I'm looking for a system (desktop or laptop) that will grant me the power to learn or work on my projects. Technologies: Docker, Terraform, Ansible, CI/CD, Scripting...

macbook air m1, ventura 13.4 safari uses a lot more battery recently, and chrome is much more efficient but it has recently come to a point where it's more than double of chromium here with only 3 tabs open: macrumors.com, macg.co , reddit , it consumes 4GB of ram ! where chrome consumes...

So my job is purchasing a new machine for me next month and I've been looking into what to get. We use Apple products and even before they announced the new Studio at WWDC a few days ago I knew I was going to be getting a Mac Studio. I'm gonna max out the new M2 Ultra chip and (due to budget...

I recently had taken the machine apart to clean it but ever since I've put it back together and booted it up, i noticed things were slightly slower and it wasn't until now that i realized one of the CPUs and half the RAM isn't even being recognized. There should be 2 processors, 12 cores, 64gb...

Hello. I'm deciding between the mac mini m2 with the 24g upgrade and the m2 pro 16g. I'll mainly be using it for music production and recording in my home studio. Nothing orchestral or anything too crazy like that. But will definitely be using a decent amount of plugins and samples. A friend of...

Apple charges $180 for a 8MB upgrade when you purchase a Mac Mini. A quick search on Google shopping shows you can get an 8GB ram stick for around $20. HP sells an 8MB upgrade for $70. Why on earth would Apple ever do this? Is it just pure greed? Why not just charge $40 (double the price) and...

can i put ddr5 ram in my iMac Desktop (year of computer: 2020). can it handle ddr5? I bought it approximately a year ago from apple.com and the system specs say it has 64gb DDR4 ram in it but will it support DDR5 ram?

I do a lot of video editing - music videos mostly. All in 1080p, I might make the transition to 4k but that's not quite in demand by my clients just yet. Just to be clear, I'm getting the 1TB HD so that's not what is in question here. I'm curious if the base 19-core GPU/16GB RAM will suffice...

Hello everyone, I bought an RX580 8GB saphire yesterday and i wanted to install it yesterday but i noticed my mac pro 5.1 has the firmware password, what should i do? Buy new RAM? Or is that not going to help me? And question, if i unofficially, install mac os Monterey? How will it feel? Has...

so i've been wondering about a quicksilver 2002 i have and if its possible to add more ram and exceed the 1.5gb limit, i've noticed slow performance when running some applications like minecraft for PowerPC and Garageband. any idea if this is possible or if the system would even accept the...

2015 MBP, 10.13.6, 16 GB, ~20% free disk space I don't often shut down my Mac. Things were slowing down yesterday so I restarted, used Memory Clean's deep clean option, ran OnyX. Overnight, I had only a few apps running: Safari, Firefox, Chrome, TextEdit. (Yeah, all have many open tabs.) Woke...

I've always thought that RAM memory is temporary storage that only stores data as long as it has power. In short, when you turn off the PC, the RAM is empty again. I used Windows 8.1 until 2 days ago on my desktop PC, and for the last 1-2 years I've noticed that, for example, Google Chrome still...
