That cheap. Where did you get your ram from? Is Mac ram different from pc RAM? I want a mac! They look so cool.

My new laptop for christmas has 4 GB in it. My old one had 500mg. It does seem that RAM does an amazing job. Its nearly 5+ times faster, even though the processor is less than twice as fast. But, then mine is PC. I thought MACs were already supposed to be perfect....so how could you get faster than perfect?

Cheers to you on your RAM

I got it from Fry's.

I am not sure if the RAM is different on PC Laptops, I've never looked into it.

Ram is dirt cheap, I updated my imac with this (except I paid 44 bucks when it was on sale :))

Mac ram isn't special. The imacs use the same stuff the laptops use, otherwise nothing special.

Not a mac expert by all means, however I think Mac's use the same RAM as PCs, now that they use the x86 architecture. Don't quote me on that, I could be very wrong.

Thanks man! I guess I'll be updating my ram soon too! :ss

Did you look on the side of your old ram? See if it has a Mhz rating. Your new one is 667mhz, if the old one is less that is another reason why your new stuff is faster.

Re: 4GB of RAM is awesome....
 

The old RAM does not have the MHZ on it. Which is weird.

Re: 4GB of RAM is awesome....
 

It sure is :)

Those are PC's though, they need 7 GB just to boot. :ss

Re: 4GB of RAM is awesome....
 

Happy to hear you are enjoying it :)

I need to unlazy now and throw in my extra ram.

Re: 4GB of RAM is awesome....
 

Nah, just 1GB. Mine runs rock solid though, even OCed to 3.5GHz. I dare say I like Vista (64) :D This is memory I'm running http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231145

I've got 2, all I need for now

the next machine... I think I'll put something ridiculous like 16 in it, just so I can tell Darrell to blow it out his ass

That hurts Tim, I thought we were tight. :sad

Re: 4GB of RAM is awesome....
 

sorry bro, I was just trying to "out stunt you"

Re: 4GB of RAM is awesome....
 

Macs are designed to take advantage of RAM very well. AnandTech did a report on OS X caching a few years back. Granted that was while they were still using the IBM PowerPC architecture but I doubt that much has changed for memory management with the move to x86.

I wish it would make PS load faster. It does a little faster, LOL. :r
