you're quite correct. 16 is the max for the new iMacs. 32 for the Macpro.
Not sure I need quite that much but anyway.

Don't forget, the Imac has four dimm slots so your options are greater.
I believe, but am not positive, that even the
21-inch model has four dimm slots.
You can go to 16gb in that case.

As I stated, faster ram will work fine, although not any faster.
It is likely no more expensive and thus, in my opinion, is a good choice.
A friend of mine has a Mac Book Pro from 2008 I believe. It had
667mhz DDR2 installed from Apple however according to Apple the
memory bus wil run at 800mhz
Well, not to put too fine a point on it, but four is a few.

Some of your info seems a little generic here. For instance, our MacBook Pro
does not use 1333 MHZ DDR3, it uses 1067 MHZ. That apparently was the case
until quite recently. Of course, I'm not qualified to answer as to what would
happen if you use higher speed memory than the machine is b

Perhaps, but memory is memory so there is no
reason not to use third party memory.
Even the Apple markup is higher than usual on
memory though; I believe they want $200 to go
from 4gb to 8gb of ram in the current mini.
That is three to four times what it would cost
you to buy that ram yourself
Apple charges truly insane prices for most things, but that's another debate.

Any memory meeting the standards talked about is fine.
Applecharges truly insane prices for memory.
Kingston, g.skill, a-data hynix (which is what

No point except it likely doesn't cost any more
and you might not even be able to find the slower stuff.
Faster memory might actually run slightly cooler.
And, you might upgrade to a newer machine and wish to swap it out.

Well, there you go.
1333mhz is faster, although it won't run faster
than 1066 mhz on your machine, but it's likely no
more expensive than 1066 mhz memory anyhow.
Just be sure you are getting 204 pin so-dimm, i.e laptop memory.
Very easy to swap in on your machine.

Go to the Apple menu, About my Mac, go tommemory.
It will tell you exactly what you have.
You'll either have ddr2 or ddr3.
You'll need that.
If ddr2 get 800mhz which is at least as much speed as a Mac is specced for.
If DDR3 get 1333mhz.
As for how much your computer can hold, there is google.

Hi Sean
How old is your wife's MacBook? Anything before late 2006 or early 2007 will
not run Lion.
I think any of the MacBooks made after 2008 can hold up to 4GB of RAM.
Your MBP should be able to take up to 8 GB.
You might want to try Other World Computing for RAM. You can find them at:

HI all.

In fact, I might even upgrade my Macbook Pro laptop from 4gb to 8gb. I would
have to find out the memory used to upgrade it. I am not even sure the maximum
for both of these laptops.
That is if your Mac can handle it.

It is about the same price these days.
It would save a lot of disk writes and thus speeds things up a lot.

The more memory the better performance. We have at least 4GB in all our
machines save one and the difference is noticeable.

Hi!
Just curious, I have 2GB of memory in both iMac and Macbook. I notice that 2GB
is the minimum memory requirement for OSX Lion so I'm wondering is it worth the
bother upgrading from 2 to 4GB and if so will I notice any performance increase?
