Memory is RAM Chacha..They are one in the same..

Just contact Mac(or Bill) to find out how much your computer will take installed..Then figure out how much to buy..The installing is fairly straight forward....Its under a small cover on the back usually...



If you give me all your MAC computer specs (model serial number and such, I will do all the leg work for you on this...

I do it 10 times a day in my shop for free for my customers....



Lastly...MOST shops will install it for 15 bucks while you wait if all else fails..
 
Hey Mason,

Thanks for all the information.....

Bill sent me this..... [YOUTUBE]Fb_B3K1Za5Y[/YOUTUBE]


Maybe I can try to hook one up....

If you did not ask for the Specs I would not know.... Whew!

Again thanks...

My next stop is find those RAMs...:engel016:
 
Give me your exzact make and model number for your computer and I will post you a link to the ram you need...

tell me how much you want..And how much you have ..Now I think you have 1 gig...

So..You can add one more 1 Gig stick giving you a total of 2 Gigs...OR


You can buy 4 gigs of memory(in two sticks , each being 2 Gigs each.That is known as a 2X2 Gig set) Giving you a total of 4 Gigs


You saw the video...Make sure when you remove the stick of ram you do not flip it over...The new has to go back in JUST as the old came out...The slot in the middle of the brass connectors has only one way to go..Doing it flipped wrong and it will not go in..Forcing it can ruin the slot where it sits..Destroying the motherboard.....So.

Pull the old one out..Set it right down in front of where it came from for reference...Install the new sticks JUST as the old came out....


Its easy..You can do it....I can call you too once you get the ram in and walk you through it in 5 minutes easily.



Send those specs...LOL Or post them actually...:wavey:

I did not know this is really complicated....


My Tutti Fruity Computer is a Desktop iMac 20"... OSX....

I don't know how you call it ... Apple iMac :pop4:
 
Is there not a Model Number on the computer....

Its way easier to get PC memory...LOL
 
OK Now....The picture with dates gave it away..

MAC apparently also goes by dates for their tech specks ..It does no say the same OS as yours , but its very close..

http://support.apple.com/kb/SP485


If that is indeed yours than I am fairly sure we are looking at the right memory.... But I am still checking into that...

So don'r order just yet...It says yours can run 4 gigs total...




I suggest that you call them for assistance ..They will also help you get the serial number ..If their memory sells for the same as at Newegg I would just get theirs ordered while you have them on the phone...

The NewEgg 4 Gig kit ( 2X@) was 100 bucks..

Thanks for your help Mason.... :applause:
 
My Pleasure..

We will get to the bottom of this mystery ram yet...LOL

But that number will insure that we get it right the first time....:bump:
 
... By the way congratulations....

on your 2 weeks wait... numbers are getting lower! And 14 more sleep...:sleep:
 
Sorry gang.. Was off watch for a few hours..

ChaCha, that is a difficult question on the ID of your computer. The info on the OS should tell you everything. Turn on the iMac (Tutty Fruity???) and click on the Apple icon, top left of toolbar, and click on the info. That should tell you everything.

If you brake down on the computer and cannot boot it up, get the box. It will have all your data on it. If you ever decide to throw away the box, peel off or cut out the various data labels which have your chassi number, build numbers, OS, etc, on it. (Build date, etc).


Basically, you have a 20" Aluminum iMac Unibody with OSX. I beleive you have a 2008 model as well, but not sure on the month.


Hope that helps. I think all their memory works about the same in the Alum. Unibody models. They use small chip sticks, similar to laptop sticks.

If you have a Frys Electronics, I think the memory is much less expensive there. They call them Sodium Sticks for some reason.. Sodium memory or sodium sticks.. Cant remember..
