Can I put my 24 inch Dual Core IMac (early 2009) 4 GB ddr3 1067 Mhz RAM to 16 GB ddr3 1600 Mhz (it says maximum of 8 GB for this model)?

Can I upgrade my 24 inch Dual Core IMac (early 2009) 4 GB ddr3 1067 Mhz RAM 16 GB ddr3 1600 Mhz? I read that it only can be upgraded to a maximum of 8 GB but I'm not sure whether that was when they were sold or if the maximum capacity of the computer can take.

Thank you for your help,

Jacques Bizot

You can upgrade the RAM, but 16 GB ddr3 1600 Mhz is NOT designed for your iMac. Please use the RAM specifications correct, iMacs are extremely sensitive to the RAM and require the correct specifications and high quality RAM. Advanced users on these forums tend to recommend Crucial (buy directly from them) or if you are in the USA, RAM from OWC (www.macsales.com).

Do not buy RAM in your store, the local computer or cheap RAM at best, it's probably a waste of time and at worst it will simply not work.

    Note that you can work with two screens and drag and drop the image to display on the other window.

    I think you mean working temporarily with the window enlarged image without displaying all the tools and panels.

    See:

    Panels and bins in Photoshop Elements

    My advice: take the time to read the above help and especially to look at ways to maximize this window if you are on Mac or Win.

    Set your preferences in the Edit menu to "allow the floating windows in expert mode.

    Use the "tab" on the keyboard key to hide or show your panels and tools quickly.

  • can I put a disc more into my imac 2009?

    My wife has an iMac (2009) vintage with a hard drive internal 640 G which is fill to the top. She wondered if it can replace it with a larger drive, and if it is not a useful expenditure. (The computer plays very well this time, incidentally.)

    Any recommendations welcome!

    Thank you

    Ray

    Yes, you can, if it is quite difficult to replace HARD drive in iMac by yourself. You must order the replacement to the service provider.

    Why not connect the external HARD drive and use it as data such as images and music player?

  • Satellite L30-105: an Intel Pentium Dual Core slogan says, but I have Celeron

    Hello

    My machine has an Intel pentium, near the touchpad sticker that says "* Pentium Dual Core inside." But then the information system listed my CPU as * Celeron *...

    Have I been duped and is this false advertising?

    Thank you

    Mark

    Hello

    I have goggled a bit and found that this laptop Satellite L30-105 was certainly equipped with the Intel Pentium Dual-Core CPU T2060 1.6 GHz.

    I m similar L30 owner as a second notebook and at first start, I noticed that the Device Manager recognized the incorrect CPU.
    I've simply removed the entry CPU since the Device Manager and rebooted again the Vista again recognized the CPU and advised the right CPU.

    Please check this box. Maybe it helps.

  • Can I put my Satellite A100 - 811 OS to Windows Vista ulitimate?

    Hello, I want to improve my A100-811 OS to Windows Vista Ultimate Edition instead of WinXP.
    I find the drivers for this model easily... will be any problems after the upgrade?
    Vista will work very well on this model?

    Thank you

    Hey Buddy,

    the machine is vista ready, then it shouldn´t be a problem to install vista on it. With regard to the ultimate edition: I do not know how the performance will be because things like aero or some other 'system tools' slow the machine down really low. It might be better to stay in XP until they release the first servicepack for Vista (no matter what edition, global it s for all versions ;)).

    So if you want to REALLY do, so I give you here a link (http://pc-support.toshiba-europe.com/vista/) where you can search for drivers for your machine, and you should do something like downloading all the drivers, burn them on CD or put on a USB key, back up all your data and then install vista after you have formatted the hard drive.

    Good luck buddy

  • Can I put a Satellite A300-15 b Vista 64-bit?

    Hello

    I think to buy a satellite A300-15B, which sounds like a great machine for the price, but when I asked at the store if I can run Vista 64-bit, they told me that I can't do.

    What is the point of having 4 GB RAM (8 GB disposable?) then?

    Please can someone confirm if I have the opportunity to opt or not? (Living in the United Kingdom)

    Thank you

    Have you checked page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com drivers download 64-bit Vista and the availability of tools on Toshiba?

    Check if the drivers are available for this model of laptop PSAJ4E.

    > What is the point of having 4 GB RAM
    Good question for Microsoft. ;)

    By the way: is 4 GB maximum RAM capacity for this model of laptop.

    Hello

    The specification is in the manual, page 2, 3 and 98.

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c04511833

    Considers that to add that RAM should be deleted many parts, if everything is damaged in the process would be excluded from the warranty.
