IMac :: Memory Upgrade On 21.5" I3 2010

Nov 5, 2010

Currently have 4GB of ram in the iMac.

What would 8GB do with regards to performance within OSX and Win7 64Bit

The iMac is a i3 3.2GHZ

I play SC2 and TF2 in OSX and Win7.

I can get this [URL]

so i'll keep the 2 x 2GB already in the machine and just add another 2 x 2GB sticks for �50

Or am I wasting my money ?

IMac :: Upgrade To 2010 For SSD Potential?

Oct 23, 2010

I very recently purchased a refurb late 2009 27 inch i7 iMac. It is more computer than I currently need. I do have one concern that SSD is supposedly much faster than a conventional hard drive and although a solid state drive is now pretty pricey, they will come down in price and I suspect become more mainstream over the next couple of years.

Does it make any sense to consider swapping my computer for a late 2010 i7 refurb (+ $200) so that I have an upgrade path to SSD in the future?

IMac :: 27" I5 (late 2010) RAM Upgrade?

Nov 14, 2010

I've got a 27" imac i5, with 4 RAM slots. I do actually have 2x2Gb installed, but that's not enough to run windows 7 smoothly with Parallels.

I would like to upgrade the RAM. Can I buy 1x4Gb now, and add another 1x4Gb later? (short on money at the moment...)

The two original modules are installed in BANK 0/DIMM0 and BANK 1/DIMM0. Should I install the new module in any free slot available?

Another question: is this memory fine?

I read some topics about ram upgrade, but it's not clear wether you can add one single module...melagodo

IMac :: 2.4 20" Freezes After Memory Upgrade

Feb 25, 2009

I recently got the 2.4 20" iMac. Since a lot of people recommended Crucial for the memory upgrade. I went ahead and ordered 4GB from Crucial. I had my iMac for about 1 week before I put in the new memory. I never noticed it freezes on me at all before I put in the memory. After I put in the memory, it intermittently freezes and there's nothing I can do except hold down the I/O button to turn it off. It would freeze for no reason, but I noticed it freezes often when I used Handbrake to rip a DVD or even when I'm in Numbers doing just usual stuff. Finally today I put back the 1GB that the iMac came with, and so far, Handbrake is going OK. Could the new Crucial memory be bad? Should I call them up and ask for a replacement or return? Has anyone had this problem?

Adding Memory To 2010 Mac Pro

May 8, 2012

I have a 2010 Mac Pro, 2x2.4ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon. There is a currently 6gb of RAM installed, and two open slots: url...I'm looking at purchasing either an 8gb or 16gb module from here: url...Will one of those modules work fine with what is currently installed in my computer? Would it be worth doing two 8gb modules rather than one 16gb? This would be cheaper but not sure how performance would compare.

Mac Mini :: 2010/2011 Memory Swap?

Feb 27, 2012

I have a mid 2010 Mac mini connected to my TV for use primarily for Internet radio and video and I also recently bought a mid 2011 Mac mini to replace my 2007 iMac after its LCD panel went south.  The 2011 system report shows 1333 MHz DDR3 memory whereas the 2010 shows 1067 MHz DDR3 memory.  I am thinking to upgrade the 2011 from 4 GB to 8 GB and swap out the 2 GB in the 2010 for the 4 GB from the 2011.  Will the 1333 MHz DDR3 memory from the 2011 work in the 2010?

Intel Mac :: (Mid 2010) Memory Bank Was Already Damaged Before Bought It?

Jun 9, 2012

I use my Mid 2010 iMac for virtualizing routers. I noticed that with the 4gb of RAM that was already installed in the iMac was not enough. So, I did some research and found out that, my iMac can hold up to 16gb of RAM. I did some more research and found out how to replace the memory in my iMac. Then, I went to Micro Center and bought 16gb of RAM and brought it back to my apartment. Now, I powered off my iMac and unplugged the power cord, flipped the iMac upside down and unscrewed the three screws that were holding the memory cover on.  After removing the memory cover, and pulling back the memory tabs/flaps, I shined a light down in the memory slots and found one memory slot that looked damaged. I was not completely sure, so I went ahead and removed the old memory by pulling hard on the memory tabs/flaps, and the memory was unseated.

I remove the memory and replace it with four, 4gb sticks of memory. Once I powered on the iMac, a memory beep sounded off. So, I unplugged the power cord from the iMac and removed two of the four memory sticks out of the iMac. The two sticks of memory I removed was out of BANK 0/DIMM0 and BANK 1/DIMM0. BANK 0/DIMM0, is the one that is damaged and my hardware warranty has expired. I bought this iMac damage, and now it won’t support 16gb of memory. What should I do? By the way, the other 8gb of memory in the other two BANKs are working.

Info:
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.4), Memory BANK 0/DIMM0 is bac

Mac Mini :: MM (Mid-2010) Ram Upgrade?

Oct 1, 2010

I tried searching up this question but could not find any results.

I was watching the youtube video on the ram upgrading and I noticed that the person took out 2x 1GB ram pieces and put in 2x 2GB ram pieces.

The ram I purchased is 1x 4GB piece and I am just wondering if there would be any drawbacks for using 1x 1GB and 1x 4GB in my set-up. I remember that for PC, it's best if the RAM is the same size/speed/manufacturer. My newly purchased ram is from OWC.

Additionally, if I decide to only have 1x 4GB left in there, does it matter which slot I put it in? There are two slots that are empty and I'm not sure if there is a primary slot or secondary slot.

Mac Pro :: 2010 MP - I7 980X Upgrade New Ram

Nov 18, 2010

I purchased a 2010 base quad 2.8 model.

After burning it in for a few days, I have incrementally upgraded various components, and now I have added various drives/CPU/RAM that I had on hand.

CPU: i7 980X (yes, I lose ECC support)RAM: OCZ 1600MHz triple channel kit (non ECC)

Everything is incredible, really.. but I have one issue. The memory kit is recognized as 1066, when I expected it to run at 1333. My guess is that the MP doesn't recognize the values it's being passed (1600) so it defaults to 1066. Is this correct? Any way I can force it to 1333, as I know it's more than capable.

Is it possible that I'm being forced to 1066 because it's a 980X and not the Xeon equivalent?

MacBook Pro :: 2010 MBP HDD RAM Upgrade Or SSD?

Jul 31, 2010

I am trying to decide whether I should Install a 120/128GB SSD or add a Larger hybrid HDD with an extra 2 gig RAM upgrade. I currently have a 2010 MBP with 4 gigs of Ram and a stock 5400 rpm HDD. I am thinking of replacing the HDD with either the Crucial RealSSD C300 128GB or the OCZ Vertex 2 120GB. I could also use that money to purchase a Seagate XT Hybrid 500GB drive and then use the extra money to purchase a 4GB stick to replace one of the stock 2GB sticks. What's are your thoughts? What is the speed difference between the hybrid and the SSD's? If you chose the SSD, which one?

MacBook Air :: Upgrade The RAM In 2010?

Apr 8, 2012

My brother gave me his 2010 11' MacBook Air. Its a great laptop, but it could definitely use more memory. It is my understanding that the memory is soldered to the logic board at the factory and is not user replaceable. Would it be possible for me to still bring the laptop to a retail store and pay to have them professionally upgrade the RAM?

MacBook Pro :: Upgrade 15" MBP Apr 2010

May 1, 2010

I bought a 15" MBP with a 500GB7200rpm HDD and want to add a SSD for my OS & the applications and use the HDD for the files. I want to put the SSD in the superdrive location because it is

1. Simpler to put in and remove (if I have to send MBP for service)
2. I do not have to deal with SMS (sudden motion sensor)

I have read many long threads about SSD's for MBP. However there have been no clear answers.

Could those with real experience (with Apr 2010 MBP) please list the pro's and con's of putting the SSD in the HDD bay versus the superdrive bay. (hibernation issues/ bootcamp bootup etc)

Mac Mini :: 2010 MM Hard Drive Upgrade Level Of Difficulty?

Nov 7, 2010

I have a 2010 Mini with 8GB of RAM on the way and I'd like to hear opinions on how difficult the HD upgrade process is. I'm looking to put an Intel X-25M SSD inside. The instructions at ifixit.com seem pretty straightforward but it looks like there is very little room for error in some spots.

I'm not shy about opening any Mac or any gadget for that matter. I've upgraded the HD and RAM in all the towers I've owned, upgraded the HD and optical drive in a PowerBook G4 12" and done the Optibay swap with RAID setup in the older (non-unibody) 15" MBP. More recently, I replaced the glass screen on my shattered HTC Evo 4G.

MacBook Air :: Upgrade Hard Drive In Late 2010 Model?

I have a late 2010 Macbook Air, 13 inch, with the 126 gb hard drive. I was curious if there was a way to upgrade the hard drive at all. I know this isn't "officially" suported, but I've seen some compines online that claim to do it.

I haven't priced out the SSD drives or anything, so I'm not even sure if it's cost effective to upgrade.
