MacBook Pro :: Difference Between "certified Compatible" And Regular 1066 DDR3 Ram?

Jun 24, 2009

Corsair "CT" series (certified) vs. "CM" series (regular)

Kingston "KTA" series (certified) vs. "KVR" series (regular)

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?

MacBook Pro :: Placing DDR3 1066 Into A DDR2 667 System - Work?

Feb 8, 2010

Does anyone know if this will work. I find they cost the same for 4 gb. I was thinking then I would have flexibility to put into another machine in the future. I know in the PC world this is possible. Not sure about macs.

MacBook Pro :: Kingston Ddr3 1066 8gb (2x4gb) Work On 13" Unibody?

Dec 31, 2010

I purchased a brand new Macbook Pro from Best Buy a few months back, it is the 13" unibody with a 2.26 ghz dual core processor and came with 2gb of memory installed. I just bought the two sticks of memory from [URL] which were Kingston DDR3 1066 204-pins, 4gb each. My friend told me that my Macbook Pro will only support up to 6gb, but my manual says that it supports up to 8gb. He also said that people have been having trouble with their motherboards by installing too much (8gb) of memory. I've done some research and looks like I'm good to go, but just want some reassurance before I install the new memory. One last thing, he also told me that 8gb is only supported on the i7 processors?

IMac :: Use 1066 Ddr3 In 2010?

Aug 15, 2010

I 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

OS X :: What Is The Difference Between SL Family Pack And The Regular SL?

Sep 1, 2009

personally I thought that the family pack was for if you had 2+ Macs to install Snow Leopard on. I didn't really care for upgrading my mac mini so i just bought the regular Snow Leopard for my Macbook Pro. Out of curiosity i tried installing SL on both and it worked.

So what are the differences between the regular Snow Leopard and the family pack?

Mac Pro :: How To Flash Regular PC 8800GT Into Compatible Mode

Mar 26, 2009

Ok, so now that ball bearings on my second 1900XT have worn out and the noise has started drilling into my temple, I've decided to upgrade my video card. I hear that the 8800GT is very quiet, but the Apple store is offering it for the jaw dropping price of $279. Did anyone ever figure out how to flash a regular PC 8800 GT into a mac-compatible one? I tried a search on these boards but never found a success story or a link to a rom.

MacBook :: Difference Between Regular Ram And "apple Ram" From 3rd Parties?

Apr 30, 2009

So I made a previous post regarding whether the RAM issues in the Unibody MacBook have been resolved or not: [URL]

It seems that most people who bought OCZ ram have had no issues what so ever. I am located in Canada so a store like CanadaComputers is great for me because I can go pick it up instead of having it delivered and pay shipping costs (as opposed to Newegg.ca). On their website, they have two modules with similar specs expect one is found in the Apple ram section and the other is in the regular ram.

Apple Ram (OCZ)[URL]

Regular Ram (OCZ)[URL]

When comparing the specs, the only difference I can see is that the CL on the Apple ram is 7-7-7-20. The CL on the regular ram is CL 8-8-8-27.

The price difference between the two is $57! OCZ's website confirms that one is made specifically for Apple Notebooks and the other is just regular.

Can anyone explain what CL is and whether it is something that needs to be taken into consideration.

MacBook Pro :: Difference In Using A Portable External Hdd And A Regular External Hdd?

Sep 10, 2010

Besides the obvious fact that one is portable and the other is not. Does the portable one have an increased chance of failing due to it being moved around a lot more?If not, then why don't everyone just get a portable external hdd to back up their data?Just curious as I look into getting a hdd soon to back up my data using time machine.

MacBook :: Noticeable Boost From 2GB To 4GB (both DDR3)?

Jan 14, 2009

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?

Mac Pro :: Registering Memory Speed Of 800 MHz Instead Of 1066

Apr 22, 2012

I just bought a new MacPro - Quad-Core Nehelem 2.8 GHz. Before booting the first time I installed four Kingston 8Gb DDR3 ECC DIMMS, 1066 MHz (registered, with thermal sensor). It shows 32Gb memory installed, but lists their speed as 800 MHz. I assume this is a sign of a memory problem, but I'm wondering if there's some hardware or OS issue I'm missing.

IMac :: Would The DDR3 RAM Work

Mar 7, 2009

I 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.

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?

MacBook Pro :: Defragmentation Required On Regular Basis?

Dec 28, 2010

I'm aware that with windows computers you need to defragment regularly to keep processes running top notch. However, I read that the macbook runs on fragmentation, thus, defragging is not necessary.

However, I saw in another thread that defragging is also important for a macbook. My question is:
1. Is it necessary to defragment?
2. If so, what is a good program for defragmenting on a macbook?

MacBook Pro :: Use SSD And / Or Regular Hard Drive On Machine?

Apr 29, 2010

I have been the proud owner of a 17" MacBook Pro that I have owned for 4 years now without any problems and still running perfectly. I am not interested in picking up a 15" MBP and once question that I have kept on asking myself is whether or not to go with the less memory of the SSD or just get more memory with the older hard drives. My question is if I go with the default hard drive can you swap that out and use a SSD drive later on? Or do they both fit into the MBS's differently?
