Mac Memory - Knowz The Dealz?

Jonny_Paycheck

OK, the thread about protools and memory has me shook to run serato on my laptop. I'm running 256mb and it definitely needs an upgrade.My question is this - every generic that I find seems to have certain reviews where dudes are saying "this doesn't work with Mac" and shit. If I do the legit mac route I will be paying over double what a generic costs.Can someone stand behind a generic memory chip that will work in a G4 Powerbook running at 1.33ghz?I am looking to do either 512 mb or 1 g. I have an open slot. Nohomo. Thanks.

johnny, you'll be fine w/ serato. just dont put too many heavy apps on your machine. protools & serato on the same machine might not be such a good idea. definitely don't keep photoshop on there.

they both use pc2700, which is pretty common ram. In terms of generic, I haven't had any problems but obviously I can't say it'll 100% work. Macs used to be much more pickier than they are nowadays. Best is to buy from a place that allows returns.



or if not, just spring for the lower ranges of brand name ram like Kingston valueram. That'll definitely work.

in the past i've gotten mine from www.ramjet.com but it looks like their prices may have gone up a little recently. still much cheaper than going straight through apple, which is what i think you're talking about.

i wish this thread was about a regional gangsta raper named Mac Memory with an album called knowz the dealz

damn, you should definitely get the memory, I think 256 is the minimum just for running OSX.

I got an Odyssey(?) 1g chip off of ebay for cheap. And it's a very easy user-install too. I'll double check when I get home today and let you know.
