I have just bought this RAID controller:

When trying to install it I found my Quad core mac pro only has PCIe slots, of which I can see anyway.
Is there any way at all to connect this to my mac?
can I use 2-2GB RAM modules in 2 slots and 2-4GB modules in the other two slots, or do all 4 modules need to be the same size?
Info:
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
simple Q: I know these slots can be used for GPUs and sound cards, but what other uses are there?
View 16 Replies View RelatedI have the Power Mac G5 Dual Processor 2.0 GHZ, with 3 GB of RAM, but I would like to upgrade but this model only has four slot, not 8. On the logic board, I can see little holes where the other 4 slots are meant to be, but obviously they aren't there. Is there any way to upgrade this G5 so it has 8 slots, rather than 4? I haven't found anything about this on the Apple Discussions, or MacRumors.

also, is it worth going to 4 gb?
Someone else pointed out in another thread that on the 11" MBA with 4 GB, if you look in System Profiler under memory, the software says that there are two RAM slots. I can confirm that on my MBA. So:
1) Is the same true on the 13" with 4 GB RAM?
2) Has anyone published a tear down of a 4 GB model just to be absolutely sure that there is only one soldered RAM slot? (I know it's unlikely that a second one got crammed in there, but I'd just like to see the tear down picture)...
I noticed on the Apple refurb site that Mac Pros from 2010 have either 4 or 8 memory slots. Is there an easy way to tell how many memory slots a computer will have? From what I have seen it looks like the quad core machines will have 4 slots while the eight core machines have eight slots. How many memory slots are in the hex core machines?

Do I physically move them all first, then restore using the disk utility or do I physically move them after restoring?
In physically moving a hard drive are there any settings that need changing?
Ok, my problem is as the title states. Why is this happening? My motherboard had 8gb slots and is compatable with 8gb ram. I installed 8 dimms of this ram I bought from newegg: [URL]
Currently I have a GTX 285 in Slot 1, and a GT 120 in Slot 3. Slot 2 is the faster slot, which I would think would benefit the GT 120, but then it's closer to the GTX 285 that leads to overheating concerns. I'm going to run anything graphics intensive on the GTX 285-connected monitor, so any real drawback then to having the GT 120 in Slot 3?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHow many memory slots are in the 3.06 27 incher, and how many slots are taking up on the basic setup? If there are four slots, are all four slots filled with 1gb cards? Im curious because I ordered my iMac from my job here, and I also ordered 2gb of memory, thinking I can go from 4gb to 6gb of ram. I was going to order a 4gb card, but it was 200 euros at my job. If anything, I will order a couple of more 2gb cards, but that all depends on the number of slots available/open.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a 27" iMac and recently picked up the latest model MacBook. I also picked up a 4Gb (2x2) RAM. I placed the 4Gb in the MacBook and decided to place that 2GB from the MB in my iMac to boost it to 6GB.
Here is my question, did I place the RAM in the best slots, assuming there is such a thing as best slots. I remember from the old day of PC that there was a strict order for placement else I may not get the most out of the additional RAM. It does register as 6GB when I click on 'About This Mac'. Below is a diagram and screen shot to show exactly what I did.
I just purchased new ram to add to my 1.6hz G5, it has four dimm slots. I am aware of the pairing and slot requirements and believe that all is well there. I added the new ram to the two outside slots, these are numbered 2 and 3 by Apple and the original ram is in slots 0 and 1. The new ram was not recognized. I then swapped and put the new ram in slots 0 and 1, the old in 2 and 3, and the new ram was recognized but not the old ram. It appears that it does not recognize ram in slots 2 and 3, how do I get this to work?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have 1 gig sticks in each of the 8 slots. I recently became aware that I am only accessing 6 gig. System profiler tells me all sticks are ok:
however, it is showing 512 sticks in slots J13, J14, J43, J44. (Again, they are in fact 1 gig sticks). Apple Hardware test implicates J14 and J44, with this error message: post/0/2048 DIMM3/J14, DIMM7/J44
By various means I have determined that my memory sticks are fine. I've swapped them out and tried them in various slots. The sticks in the bad slots work fine in other slots, etc etc. So I'm certain it isn't the RAM. Also, they are paired correctly.
I have 6 -1GB DIMMs installed in 6 of the 8 slots. Can I install larger capacity DIMMS in the remaining 2 slots?

The other day, I put more ram into 2 12-inch ibooks - my own 1.0 ghz, and my wife's 1.33 ghz (Yes, I know she has the faster machine. It means I'm the next to upgrade). Anyway, this is the first time I had opened them up at all and I saw something that confused me: I know that ibooks have only one available expansion slot for ram. That's what I saw on mine. But on my wife's, it looked like there was a second slot lower down, just below where I installed the ram, but missing the clips to hold the ram in place.
Is this in fact a second ram expansion slot, or is it just the shape of it that makes it appear to be one, or is it a second slot that is somehow unsupported or unable to be used? My guess is that it's just the shape of the hardware, and it only appears to be a second ram slot, but isn't really. But wouldn't it be sweet if there was in fact another usable slot in the ibook?
I'm installing some firewire cards in a mac pro at my school but the Mojo that we're hooking up needs to be on it's own bus. Do certain pci slots share a bus together?

Toms Hardware apparently ran a benchmark comparing two 3870s on x16 vs two 3870s on x8 (hence a Mac Pro 2006).
I am going to buy an Imac soon. Most likely the with 4 gig ram. I was just wondering how many memory slots does an 24 inch Imac have. Because I have 2 one gig ram sticks that I wanted to add to it and didnt know how many free slots it would have.

I get the message: the memory modules are installed in the recommended slots. Every time I restart my 2010 Mac Pro. I upgraded my memory with 3 x 2GB OWC memories. They are properly detected, and the system is working fine.

I've been searching around in circles trying to find this out and I'm just getting no where!
I'm in need of some guidance. It took me a little while to get my GTX280 into the 1st slot in my mac pro but I'm just wondering,
In order to boot into os x can I just leave the 280 in the 1st slot and put the old 7300 gt in the 2nd slot ?
Then I can turn the power off from the 280 and it will default to the 2nd slot rite? Or must I remove the bottom (280) card for the older card to work?
I have a blackbook (intel core 2 duo) and I can connect to my landlord's wireless network (they have a netgear wgt624) but I can't actually use the web (Safari or Firefox will just "think"). I've tested the diagnostics and it confirms that my mac can connect to the network, but it cannot connect to the internet. The network uses WPA personal and it has a 19-aphanumeric passphrase.
*Also - would it be possible for me to extend the wireless range (and make it possible to browse the web) if I used my own 2wire wireless modem to connect to the netgear wgt624?

I don't know what's wrong with it.My ipod touch connects just fine and yet when i try to connect my new macbook it won't allow me to connect.I've never owned a macbook - so i have no idea how to fix this.
I currently have the network setup assistant running and configuring - but it's been about an hour and it hasn't done anything.Is there something else i need to do?
