• 2008 mac Pro RAM

  I have a 2008 Mac Pro 8 Core Xeon 2.8 GHz with 2 GB of ram. I want to upgrade the RAM and reflected on this but let me puzzled is certified Apple and ECC. Regular RAM DDR2 will work in the computer? And I can't just RAM with a heat sink or only a certified Apple one? What are my options and the best results?

  You can use the non - ECC memory, but you cannot mix ECC and non ECC.

  You need a heat sink.

  Macs are picky about the memory if you need to get the memory of a place that guarantees that they will work with your Mac. Just return form is not enough.

• Mac Mini end of 2014 vs SSD Ram

  Hey guys, I just bought the Mac Mini end of 2014. Maybe I should blame myself for not doing some research that I have a model end of 2012 before that. I used to increase the ram myself whenever I need it, it was easy-peasy. So I bought the 2014 version, thinking that it will be the same. But no, the ram is welded on and there is no way that I can upgrade. The mac was bought to an APR, his return is not possible according to the policy of the store.

  I understand that if the RAM is not enough, the operating system will use hard disk space instead. So what I intend is to upgrade the HDD to the SSD, I have made the my previous Mac Mini. Just so that it allows to speed up the process and minimize the crash.

  Question, this will help solve the problem of ram? Nor can do anything and that's it?

  Yes a SSD will improve performance, and partially make up for not enough RAM. However, how well that depends on what applications run you. Some applications are memory intensive and may not show as much improvement

• Mac Pro 2008 RAM Upgrade

  Hello

  My Early 2008 Mac Pro (3,1) currently has 6 GB of RAM (two 1 GB sticks) and two sticks of 2 GB and I bought a pair of used ram (800 MHz DDR2, who works with the Mac Pro 2008 according to the announcement on Ebay) to take up to 8 GB. I have a Kingston 2 GB key and a broken stick of the same type to complete the configuration. I followed the instructions on the Apple support page and inserted the two sticks of working and broken in the memory card top of the page, and when I turned on the machine, it is detected that the map background (which had the pair of 2GB that was already in the machine) about this Mac. After the reinstallation of the new RAM, the fans in the machine began to turn to the maximum, and the machine hung on the Apple logo. I tried a few different configurations (including the replacement of one of the existing 2 GB sticks with the new work), which caused the machine hang or the memory card, they were to not be detected. I have now deleted the new RAM temporarily, and the machine works fine.

  Any suggestions as to why this is happening? I'm under El Capitan 10.11.4.

  installing new RAM check the smaller units of new RAM by itself, has increased the confidence that we CAN work, prior to mixing and matching with your RAM existing. This reduces the problem to the size.

• an early 2008 mac mini and want to know what OSX iI can be upgraded to.

  I have an early 2008 mac mini, model A1283 and the OS x 10.6.8.  Is there an OSX I can pass safely to this machine?

  Upgrade to El Capitan

  You can pass the Lion El Capitan or directly from Snow Leopard. El Capitan can be downloaded for FREE from the Mac App Store.

  Upgrade to El Capitan

  To upgrade to El Capitan, you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or installed Lion. Download El Capitan from the App Store. Sign in with your Apple ID. El Capitan is free. The file is big enough, more than 5 GB, allow it some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.

      Mac that can be upgraded to OS X El Capitan

  1 iMac (mid-2007 or newer) - model identifier 7.1 or later

  2 MacBook (late 2008 or early 2009 or newer aluminium) - model identifier 5.1 or later

  3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)- model identifier 3.1 or later version

  4 MacBook Air (late 2008 or newer)- model identifier 2.1 or later

  5 mac mini (early 2009 or newer)- model identifier 3.1 or later version

  6 mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)- model identifier 3.1 or later version

  7 Xserve (early 2009) - model identifier 3.1 or later version

  To find the identifier of the model open system information in the Utilities folder. It is displayed in the Panel on the right.

  My applications are compatible?

  See table of application - RoaringApps compatibility

  
  

  Upgrade to Lion

  If your computer does not meet the requirements to install the Mavericks, it can still meet the specifications to install Lion.

  You can buy Lion to the Apple store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus taxes.  It's a download. You will receive an email with a redemption code that you then use on the Mac App Store for download Lion. Save a copy of this installer to your download folder because Setup deletes itself at the end of the installation.

  Lion system requirements

  1 mac with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,

  or Xeon processor

  2. 2 GB of memory

  3 OS X 10.6.6 or later (10.6.8) recommended

  4. 7 GB of available space

  5. certain features require an Apple ID; conditions apply.

  I suggest that stick you with Snow Leopard because the Lion is a bit a dog. If you really need to upgrade over Snow Leopard, then you need a new computer.

• Our Mac Pro 2010 upgrade!

  Hey guys, we seek to improve our Mac Pro and need help!

  Course record:

  8-core Mac Pro 2010

  2 x 512 GB SSD

  2 x 2.4 GHz Quad - Core Intel Xeon

  32 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC

  ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB

  We mainly use it for Visual effects and calibration of colors - Nuke, Cinema 4 d, After Effects, Da Vinci resolve (not editing). So far, it worked pretty well, but we have a little money now that we seek to lay on it to make things a little better.

  Was just curious as to what would be the best go to upgrade the system rather than buying a new computer?

  Thought the 96 GB ram upgrade and possibly a graphics card video NVIDIA Quadro 4000 2 GB but if anyone has any ideas better we are open to suggestions.

  Things I've read: double Possible to upgrade to the model of 3.33 Ghz 12 strands, graphics cards, SSD raid configurations, again once I know not much about it.

  Just curious what would be the best configuration, we will leave money out of the question at the moment and focus on just this issue, do not really want to go with my beloved Mac for something else now.

  See you soon

• 8 GB DIMM modules for early 2008 Mac Pro

  I see that OWC is now selling the 8 GB DIMMs for early 2008 Mac Pro (8-core, 3.2 GHz). This leads to the potential total RAM up to 64 GB.

  Anyone has any experience of the use of these, or potential problems?

  Thank you!

  I would call OWC and ask them. I remember not only here posts on this topic.

  However. I myself would buy a chance 2009-2012 in the place and level it. These Mac Pro are the most capable and reliable and 8 GB sticks are 1/3 of the cost of those of 2008.

  Get only the memory of a place that specify that it will work with your model of Mac and will refund your money if it does not work. Macs are picky about the memory and just match record does not always work. Here are a few places:

• test hardware mid 2008 mac pro-

  My mid summer 2008 mac pro came with Leopard installed - and I upgrade to Snow Leopard.

  I know for sure that the Snow Leopard hardware test worked by rebooting with the button held down - D but somewhere in the updates of apples - it doesn't work anymore - help on the mac said "If your computer does not restart in Apple Hardware Test restart it using the DVD or USB that contains the Apple hardware test" no clue as to what they mean - what is the dvd provided with the mac - or a DVD that came with Snow Leopard?

  Don't know why my mac has problems with reboots - but, I have a circa 2002 Studio Display, which has 2 usb ports.   I moved my keyboard aluminum to a port on the pro to a port on the display (another port is my Wacom pad - I prefer to use their pen, rarely use the mouse on the keyboard)

  I stop after use that I use only one or two hours per day.    Has no up-to-date software because Apple has stopped selling on media - and has sort of missed the fact that sometimes people jump over a version simply because as its too much headache for update annually.

  If you do not have the original installation diskettes including Apple Hardware test yo can download it here. Make sure that yo select your Mac model.

• PC2-5300 memory will work in my Early 2008 Mac Pro?

  I picked up an Early 2008 Mac Pro to replace my machine from 2006 and I was wondering if I could use my 16 GB of memory in the new machine?

  Near as I can tell, the only difference from PC2-6400 is speed.

  Thank you

  According to MacTracker database all the Early 2008 Mac Pro using PC2-6400, and you cannot use slower RAM the RAM in the computer is designed to use. Sometimes faster RAM spec can clock on an old computer but the RAM slower than the technique almost never works.
