If you think a memory speed increase will speed up your real world application justifiable by RM 600+ bucks... good luck...   |

QUOTE(LYW @ Jul 8 2010, 08:05 PM) 0.o??? erm i use autocad. is that justifiable? Assuming budget is secondary, I'd go for 8GB RAM of standard spec, faster HDD at 7200-rpm or Hybrid HDD like the Momentus XT, or better still, SSD....There's hardly any apps that will saturate that kinda memory bandwidth... |

QUOTE(b48753 @ Aug 4 2010, 01:06 PM) Is it ok for me to mix the 2GB module with 4GB module for my Mac Pro? make sure they're in pairs...The mix will make my system RAM to 16GB. I assume your RAM config is 4x2GB and 2x4GB...? |

QUOTE(b48753 @ Aug 5 2010, 06:46 PM) I thought the Nahalem setting is different.. Nehalem is the micro-architecture for Gainestown (set of Xeon processors used in MP 2009), which no longer use FB-DIMM RAM modules on upper and lower riser cards anymore... It comes in a single tray for processors and ram slots... And it has nothing to do with the previous MP setups... In case you are confused about code names and architectures: I mean the sequence on the high and lower riser..  Woodcrest - Core - MP 2006 Clovertown - Core - MP 2007 8-core only Harpertown - Penryn - MP 2008 Bloomfield - Nehalem - MP 2009 4-core only Gainestown - Nehalem - MP 2009 8-core only, MP 2010 4-core only Gulftown - Westmere - MP 2010 8- and 12-core only Info courtesy of Wiki...

QUOTE(feins @ Aug 6 2010, 07:27 PM) I don't think there us any KTA ram with speed 1333. Unless ur mentioning for Mac pro 2009 model. Why not...?Kingston website is listing KTA-MB1333/4G for iMacs 2010.... And mind you, Mac Pro 2009 uses 1066 modules, not 1333... |

QUOTE(b48753 @ Aug 10 2010, 12:35 PM) Thanks for the info..so now new mac pro can use about the same RAM available for desktop.. like it Read ECC... There are reports that using non-ECC memory modules work fine, but then again it is always recommended to use ECC RAM as Mac Pros are designed to just in case to avoid certain risks of the machine hanging due to data corruption on the modules... |

QUOTE(dannygeni @ Apr 4 2011, 09:04 AM) i am using imac 2010 and just purchase OWC 4GB ram for upgrade online..any bros using this ram?? any problem? No problem from my end... I've bought a lot of OWC RAM modules, previously for my MP, and now on my MBP, they work like charm...But be careful with their selection of cheaper NuRAM. Though OWC carries them, it's not their in-house brand, and some users have reported problems using them. |

QUOTE(kuekwee @ Jun 27 2011, 01:06 PM) Sorry bro got a silly question. I'm using OCZ Vertex 2, is it illusion or the SSD is getting slower compare with the time i bought. When i boot up it take more than 30 sec How long have you been using the Vertex 2...? .I've got mine for 4 months already, 240GB , more than half filled, heavy downloading, just updated to 10.6.8... and i've tested it, 13 seconds from startup chime to desktop...

QUOTE(BRY7 @ Sep 1 2011, 09:09 AM) what is the differences between KTA and KTV besides the pricing? KTV...? Sounds like Kingston's old server RAM according to Google...You should be comparing KTA and KVR... |

QUOTE(mfitri77 @ Mar 27 2013, 02:37 PM) I would say.. No. If it was the 2011 macs with Sandy Bride processors, then my answer would be yes. 2010 Core 2 Duo, better save the money for the SSD, sell the 2010 second hand and get the latest mac you can afford. my 2010 mbp is still rocking on your ssd that you sold me 2 years ago... albeit on snow leopard... You get more performance that way. |

QUOTE(mfitri77 @ Mar 30 2013, 09:01 AM) Haha. Yep, the SSD does make everything seem snappier. If you think 2010 is fast, you should try the 2012 with SSD. I just tested that with a Corsair SSD on a 2012 13" MBP with 16GB RAM... It's fast but that slight difference will not offset real-world applications... And I wouldn't trade that for running a shitty Mountain Lion... . And 16GB RAM. |

QUOTE(zuying1985 @ Mar 30 2013, 10:50 PM) Anyone order ram from OWC as well? or I simply go digital mall and buy any brand with 1600Mhz will do? I've bought many rams from OWC, some for my Mac Pro couple of years back and for my MBP 2 years ago... At that time, ram prices were sky-high. Bought a single piece of 4GB for 500 bucks including shipping costs, and another for 300 when the prices took a halfway-dive. A lot cheaper from OWC at that time when the local stores were offering 1k bucks for a single stick of Kingston KTA...any significant performance with those so called high speed/hyperX/ bla bla with a normal value ram? Nowadays ram sticks are dirt cheap, not sure if buying from OWC is cheaper than the one sold locally - haven't got the chance to buy ram since I'm still stuck with almost-expiring ACPP-ed MBP which can only maxed out at 8GB... |
