RAM for MacBook Pro

I'm using CS5 with a MacBook Pro with processor dual core 2.4 Ghz and 2 GB of ram.  When you use D7 RAW files, the computer goes very slow.   I need a new computer or an upgrade of ram would do the trick to speed up computer?

2 GB is the minimum you can run with on OSX and is totally inadequate for any treatment of the image of seriousness. Max of RAM on (according to the MacBook Pro, you have, it could go up to 8 GB) and you will see a significant increase in performance.

In my experience of years in the graphic industry, extra RAM is usually a better bet that spending more money on a slightly faster processor when it comes to image processing.

Photoshop gives his best performance when he can access a lot of RAM to instead of having to swap RAM to disk frequently as it would with the big RAW files from your D7.

Another thing to keep in mind is to keep at least 10 percent of your hard drive free (minimum 10 GB) to ensure that the Mac has plenty of space for the OS to do its job, too.

  • 1066 MHz RAM for MacBook Pro 2012

    Hey guys!

    Just registered here, I hope you can help me.

    I have a MacBook Pro (mid-2012) that shows the problems that resemble RAM errors. The 2012 version uses DDR3 1600 MHz modules.

    I can get my hands on a model of 2009 with the DDR3 1066. I intend to move blocks of RAM to see if that fixes the problem with the computer of 2012.

    So my question is:

    The MacBook 2012 will work with 1066 MHz RAM installed? (Provided that the RAM was the culprit, of course). If so, will there be problems other than lower performance?

    Thank you!

    Terji

    MacBook Pro are very sensitive to the Ram being the correct specifications for the computer. Your computer is designed to use only the same characteristics for RAM Why would you think clock speed of 1 066 MHz RAM work in a 1600 MHz system?

  • Buy a new battery for MacBook Pro

    How to buy a new battery for MacBook Pro from apple store? I would buy a new battery and replace it with myself, is possible?

    Thanks1

    Apple batteries will be sold if Apple installs, NOT the user.  If you have a MBP, this is probably the best option because the batteries are pasted into the retina.  If you have a retina no MBP, look at the OWC site for NuPower batteries or search the Internet for brand batteries Anker.  Anything else can be 'high risk' in terms of quality.
