I know all the Late 2008 MBP models--2.4Ghz, 2.53Ghz, and 2.8Ghz--only support 6Gb of DDR3 RAM. Is this a software limitation or a hardware limitation?
Does anyone know a definitive answer to this? Will Snow Leopard be able to address the full 8GB in a 2.4GHz model?
Especially if you have a SSD with you MBA this should be very quick & seamless, just assign 2-4GB of your SSD as RAM disk.

View 14 Replies View RelatedJust for testing purposes, I installed a spare drive and put Windows 7 Home Premium x64 on my Mac Pro 1.1 last night. All of the advice given here on MacRumors so as to install the 64-bit version and get the AHCI working properly went flawlessly with one exception: Boot Camp doesn't like to restart in OSX from Windows after the AHCI patch. But the big issue is: Windows 7 Home Premium continues Microsoft's policy of not supporting multiple processors on any "Home" variant of Windows. (XP, Vista, 7). Task Manager reports only the two cores of the first CPU and ignores the second. To me this isn't important as I intend to continue using XP Pro for my rare ventures into Windows but is important for Mac Pro users considering purchasing Windows 7. If you wish to use Windows effectively on a multi-CPU Mac Pro, you must obtain the "Professional" or "Ultimate" versions.

Linux gets Direct X 10 and 11 support. There is also Trim support for SSD in Linux, so what is Apple doing these days I wonder.

View 1 Replies View Relatedwith the new MacBook Pros (13" and 15" only) concerning SATA II and third party drives in many forums, such as the Apple Support forum and the OCZ forum:[URL] [URL]As I understand it, the first mid 2009 MacBook Pros supported SATA I speeds only. After many user complaints, Apple addressed the issue with a firmware update, but it seems the MBPs hardware has a problem with full SATA II speeds since many users reported issues with 3rd party drives after the firmware update.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've spent the best part of the day researching SSD drives, I'm wanting to pop one in my MBP.I've been looking at the OCZ Vertex and also the Intel X-25M Gen 2.I've set my heart on getting the OCZ but after spending a good hour on their forums, it seems that (like all other drives) there isn't a 'wiper' tool available for OSX.Should this affect my decision? No-one knows if Snow Leopard will support TRIM and I don't want to left with a drive that has lost most of it's umph after a few weeks.I don't claim to know all the details of TRIM (I'm a mere-mortal wanting faster performance), so please feel free to put my mind at ease
View 11 Replies View RelatedI recently felt that my Macbook started to give out a lot of heat, so I decided to fix the problem. I downloaded the CoreDuoTemp to check my temperature, and it was at 63 degrees celsuis. Then, I downloaded the SMCFanControl, but it said it did not support my comp, so then I downloaded the Fan Control. I successfully installed it, but it shows no sign of the program anywhere on my comp. What do I do to open the program? All I have is the .dmg file. Also, what do I do with the source codes?
View 4 Replies View RelatedFirst post so I apologize for any rules I may be breaking. A lot of discussion on this forum has centered around SSD's and their use. From what I have gathered, the price is quite high, but the speed is impressive. I am going to university next year and am looking for a new laptop. I have used Windows all my life and don't have anything that really requires OSX (graphics applications, etc). However, I like the design of the MBP and want something high quality that will last me 4 years. The SSD's are looking pretty appealing for the sheer speed, but OSX doesn't support TRIM, which could affect future speeds.

#1 My question: Is MBP still portable? Portable as in being able to bring it to almost everywhere just like i do with my iPad?
#2 MY QUESTION: Can MBA still support iMovie or Photoshop?
#3 My question: Is 128GB of storage enough for average user?
#4 MY Question: Will MBA last at least 5 years before slowing down and "dying"?
Which one do you guys prefer? (OPINIONS) Please be specific as to which model and specs!My budget is aroung $1250

I'd love to buy the new MacBook Pro and use iTunes to manage this collection (as FLAC is the accepted standard for downloadable hi-res music). Unfortunately there STILL isn't FLAC support in iTunes. Looks like I'll have to purchase a Dell XPS instead.

I keep seeing articles since yesterday stating that the new MBP retina display supports 3 external monitors and the new Macbook Air supports two (through just one ThB port?) but how come no one says anything about the new regular MBP's support? If the Air supports two isn't the regular MBP also supposed to be able to work with two external monitors?

I purchased a Seiki 39" SE39UY04 from Amazon, and I have a Macbook pro retina with the Intel Iris chipset. When I plug the TV into the HDMI port, the "Best Available" is only 1080p (1920x1080). I can't get anything higher.I am running 10.9.4, and looks like I should be able to get at 24fps the full 4K resolution.Is there a way to force it? I could get an active thunderbolt adapter, but it looks like this should work.

I was just playing around with my 11" MBA and found it doesn't seem to support the 64-bit OS X kernel. I tried holding the 6 and 4 keys at bootup then running 'uname -a' in the terminal and it reports I'm still running the 32-bit kernel. I also tried running "sudo systemsetup -setkernelbootarchitecture x86_64" and it reported that the architecture had successfully been changed, but on rebooting I found I was still running the 32 bit kernel.
