Oct 9, 2017 - Inadequate RAM will severely delay the response time of your computer,. Please note that models after 2013 have non-removable memory thus cannot be upgraded. Models): Crucial 8GB Kit (4GBx2); MacBook Pro Requiring DDR2 667MHz. Should you upgrade your Mac by adding extra RAM? Hi, I have the following mahine: MacBook Pro (Late 2011) 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7 8GB 1067 MHz DDR3 RAM 17 inch screen As you can see it has 8GB RAM. When I put the model in to the Crucia website it recommends a 16GB kit (2x8GB) However, Apple say the max is 8GB (2x4GB) I spoke with them and they said that id I put more than 8GB in it would cause 'all sorts of problems'! As it would be taxing the processor too much I'm not massively technical on these things but I would really like to have more RAM as I'm working on some mammoth Photoshop files at the moment and a large Aperture library. Seems odd that the only kit offered by Crucial is the 16GB one. Anyone got any experience of this ram kit with this model of mac? Thanks in advance, Phil. Hi Phil, I have had a look in to this system and I can understand your concern. However we only recommend memory after testing it in a system and we can guarantee that this model works perfect with 16GB of memory installed. We don't only sell 16GB kit's for this system we also sell 8GB kit's and other upgrade options. If you click on the link then select show all compatible modules it will show you all the available upgrades. I can however guarantee that your system will support 16GB no problem at all. I am kinda in the same boat as: I have went thru two different pairs of 16GB modules. They both must be doing the same thing to my MacBook Pro: same crash. I have had the laptop checked out by Apple (MacBook Pro 17' (Early 2011) 2.2 GHz, with the 4GB put back in and it passed all test. But I mean, I seriously doubt, you stress test every Apple machine, or MacBook Pro for 6 months solid sitting on your lap for 6 hours a day working intensively. Just a thought. It's just this freeze that I can't reproduce. Doing ANYTHING. My next step is to put in an SSD, to get reboots faster, and see if that fixes the problem (ie it's the HD). And after 6 months if I get crashes frequently again, (right now it's about 4 times a month, managable), I am going to go down 8GB. ![]() Then test that for 3-6 months. I mean you could say put the 4GB back in and test that for 3-6 months but there's no way I am going that low without an SSD, no way. I'll live with the crash and 16GB till then. Oh and Apple wouldn't give me another one with out taking it in and abusing it, so I was like whatever, still under warranty too, thing is those GENIUSES, are far from it. ![]() FAR from it, more like Guineas, they suck! I was just like whatever, I have been using apples/macs for 28 years and computers and those kids ugh, make wanna. Hi rezwits, First of all I'm sorry for the issues you have had with your system. I have had a look at that exact model and I can confirm that we recommend 16GB of memory for the system. I can also see that we have a very healthy sales history with this memory without many returns at all, Can you confirm the exact part numbers of the memory you have ordered? Did you order the memory direct from Crucial? We sell memory designed specifically for Mac systems so it's always better to check the exact part numbers you have ordered. Do you know if you have the most up to date EFI firmware for your MacBook Pro? Yeah, Its got the latest and greatest EFI, OS, etc. If it's not the RAM it's going to be the Video Circuitry, ie GPU, Discrete and Intergrated, Hard Drive. My troubles don't sweat it. I'll figure the problem out eventually. I've done many system re-installs etc. But yeah it's my problem. Cause I am going to keep this 17' for every cause I love 1920x1200, for VNC-ing machines with 1080. SO I will eventually get this all resolved in the next six months. I've got other things I have to do tho in the meanwhile. New: A brand-new, unused, unopened, undamaged item in its original packaging (where packaging is applicable).
