PowerPC :: Mac G5 DP 2.0 - Possible To Upgrade RAM Slots
Feb 4, 2007I 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.

MacBook Air :: System Profiler RAM Slots?
Dec 5, 2010Someone 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)...

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?

Mac Pro :: PCI Slots To Use For Graphics Cards In 2009?
Nov 3, 2009Currently 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?

Nov 17, 2009How 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 RelatedIMac :: Did Install Memory In The Best Slots
Apr 27, 2010I 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.
Hardware :: G5 Will Not Read Ram In Outer Slots
Aug 3, 2008I 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 RelatedHardware :: How To Change G5 Bad Memory Slots
May 20, 2009I 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.

PowerPC :: IBook - Available Memory Expansion Slots
Aug 4, 2007The 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?

Mac Pro :: PCI Slots - Remove The Bottom Card For The Older Card To Work?
Dec 21, 2008 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?

Jan 15, 2009I want to add some ram memory to a Mac Pro at my workplace. The Mac Pro came with 2 GB 800 MHZ. Do you think I can add this type of RAM to it? This is not ECC memory.
Also, I have red that in order for the Mac Pro to work properly needs to have all the ram sticks of the same quantity (1 Gb for example). Is this mandatory? Could I have 2 sticks of 2 GBs each and 2 of 1 GB each?
