pimped the MBP...

[CHRIS172CUP]

8 should do...momentus XT next...

 

[Gally]

Looks nice.

What am I looking at? No desktop?

 

[sneeks]

8gb RAM, nice.

 

[Ali]

is that good?

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

lol!

How much did that set you back?

 

[Goodj]

that'll run Fallout really well!

 

[nicknick]

I've had 8gb of ram in my PC for over 2 years, it's still sh*t though

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

80 notes delivered, not too bad. should help when running the badly written pshop and the rest of CS5 along with autocad and a 3d modeller.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

cool, where from? I noticed my MBP slowed a little the other day, but then I was using PS CS5, and iMovie rendering a 2GB 1080p video, and using safari with a few tabs open at the same time.

 

[cava83]

8GB, can't believe how much cheaper it's become, I bought 4gb Last year March time and it was £95 inc Delivery.

I have an SSD in there, and it's ridiculously quick, with 8GB ram, Vmware will run wonderfully. Awesome.

Nice wallpaper

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

Shadow, photoshop CS5 runs like a bag of nails. I got it from ebuyer, corsair RAM. It's mad how it's come down in price, just need the SSD's to drop now.

I don't need VMware, although it is one of our clients so could probably blag it from them.

 

[Christopher]

Awesome, same as my iMac now.

I need to upgrade my MBP, too. What was the total cost, inc. shipping mate?

PM if you want.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Never had a problem with CS5 tbh, what's your issue then?

Ah nice!

I'll order that later then!

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

Do you ever have to do artworking using pshop, illustrator and indesign? pshop just doesn't run well. The CS4 i use at work on XP is quicker for some reason. It's not a big issue just could be smoother.

Chris, ebuyer Corsair RAM mate

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Nope just photography stuff

 

[Christopher]

Just ordered it now. Nice one.

Pop the back off with the eight screws, as usual, yeah?

 

[jonzz]

I've got 512mb! Yeahhhhh!

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

Yeah mate, there's 4 clips inside mine (17") they just pop out with a bit of playing.

 

[MaLicE]

tells you how to do it on the quick start guide you get with the mac

 

[seb]

my macbook has 2gb of ram. would i notice a lot of difference with this increase to 8gb?

 

[Christopher]

Depends what you use it for.

Browsing, emails & pr0n... you wouldn't notice a single difference.

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

What CR said. It'll be able to handle more the more ram you have. They read 16GB but i had to draw the line...until it comes down in price

quite handy you drew the line, the current 15" MBP only supports a maximum of 8GB of RAM anyway.

 

[Goodj]

well that's a bit limp isn't it?

gahd, I've seen graphics cards with more ram than that.

 

[Tom]

its a 17" and it will support 16GB, Just a bit expensive.

 

[Alexiooo]

Nah, MBP's only support a max of 8GB dude.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Why would you need 16GB!! If you editing the latest Pixar film then yeh, but most other things I'm sure 8GB is more than enough.

 

[Tom]

Nah, MBP's only support a max of 8GB dude.

You tried it?

(i'm only going on chipset specs, in theory the i7's should be able to use 16GB, intel is my source.)

 

[Alexiooo]

There s an iPhone app called mactracker which can come in handy... Dunno who writes it but it's pretty spot on.

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

Why would you need 16GB!! If you editing the latest Pixar film then yeh, but most other things I'm sure 8GB is more than enough.

Because i render a lot of 3d models. the more ram, cores etc the better. If i could afford it i'd buy a 12 core mac pro i would, but i need food for the next few years lol.

Seb, if you only have a white macbook, the maximum u can go to is 4GB.
