I can't find any vendor that carries the certified Mac compatible series where I'm from (and shipping from the US will wipe out any savings vs online apple store). Has anyone tried using the Kingston KVR1066D3S7 with their uMBP?
What is the max "addressable and usable" DDR3 1333 memory that can be installed in a Mac Mini i7 running Lion Server?The Apple Store will install up to 8GB but I have seen 3rd party 2x8GB SO-DIMM 1333MHz "Apple memory" available that will allow 16GB. Does anyone know what is the real usable limit is? I can't find specifics in the docs and I don't want to install 16 if the bus can truly only address 8.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm sitting here thinking I made a mistake by being cheap and just upgrading the base model to 2 GB when virtually everyone else is going for 4 GB... I do realize that this is mainly because most people choose to upgrade themselves, and then there's no point in not installing 4 GB. The thing is that I don't think I would benefit at all from having 4 instead of 2 GB of memory, since I won't be doing any "heavy" work on it whatsoever.
I might use Photoshop now and then, but that's about it, and that works just fine on my current MacBook with 2 GB ram (white 2006 model). Also, my memory usage most often shows that I have 1,2 GB of free memory, which isn't even close to "maxing" it. I've been looking for benchmarks comparing these two configurations, but I couldn't find any. I know that it's quite easy to upgrade it yourself later, but I'd rather avoid it...
Is there a noticable difference between using a mini DP DVI vs mini DP VGA to external monitor that has both types of inputs?

I have read about old mac mini and new mac mini.
I have seen that along with old mac mini "slot-loading Combo drive" was there. But with new mac mini "8x SuperDrive with dual-layer support" was there.
Can some body tell me what's the difference between above two?
Im in the market for a new mac mini and I was wondering if there was a significant speed difference between the 2.53 and 2.66 ghz versions. Also, I want to buy the model that has 4 gb of ram , 320 gb hard drive and I was wondering if this model came with a mini dvi to dvi cable included in the box? Or do i have to buy a minidisplay port to dvi cable.

I just installed 8 gigs of ram on my mid 2009 13 inch macbook pro. OSX recognized the ram as soon as I rebooted but the windows partition still says 4 gigabytes. Am I forgetting something or is windows just... being windows.
View 23 Replies View Relatedfirst time posting. Got a mac mini from March 09, got snow leopard on it and been running football manager 2011 on it without too many problems. However running the game on high graphic settings produces a lag/choppy gameplay, only playing it on medium gives smooth gameplay. But i've experienced poorer graphic capability installing games like EMpire at War in OS, but not in windows with bootcamp where the games can be played on the highest graphic settings without problems. Any reason for this? To try and sort it i thought i'd try and update my Nvidia drivers on the mac side of things, in the about mac pop up it says my card is a GeForce 9400 so when i try and install a driver from Nvidia with GeForce 9400m it wont install saying i dont have the hardware to support the drivers. But i cant find any info online to suggest there is two Nvidia cards with just an m difference? Even on wikipedia?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a Dec 08 purchased 3.06 Intel Core 2 Duo iMac with 4G of 800 MHz DDR 2 SDRAM installed and lovely it is too
I note the new iMac's now use DDR3 RAM and wonder (for future reference only) if the DDR3 RAM would work in my iMac if I swapped sticks.
I suppose whilst I'm on a roll of asking a question....I may as well try another one.....
Would (again for future reference) the ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB be fitable (if that was a word....which it is not) in place of my GS 8800 512.
I would like to update my MacBook Pro 5,1 with two 2GB modules to 4GB. The current RAM is running on 1066MHZ but the new modules at my computer place are only available with SO-DIMM 2GB DDR3 1333MHz.

I am considering upgrading my RAM from 2GB to 4GB today at the Apple Store, and was wondering if I will notice a significant performance boost. 2GB is fine, but occasionally I'll get that annoying beach ball. It's $150 for a 4GB boost, and I have the 2.0GHZ aluminum MacBook. Would it be worth it for me to upgrade it?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI ha e 2x2gb of 1066 ddr3 ram sitting here. I am going to buy an iMac. I can't decide between the refurb 27 core2duo, the refurb 27 core i5 or the new 21.5" i3. Of course I am torn between cost and performance. I would prefer the bigger display but it's not necessary. If I could use my existing ram in the new 21.5 that may put it as the winner but I am unsure if I can mix 1066 and 1333 ram or not. If not then I will probably get the refurb 27 and then it's just to decide between i5 or core2duo

What do you guys think?I am also curious as to the clock speed of the new upcoming processors. Online it says the fastest one they have is 3.2 GHZ, so will the speed increase come from DDR3 memory and no frontside bus?Does anyone know the actual technical differences between the current processors and the upcoming, other than the memory and frontside bus?
