I have a Mac G5 (Dual 1.8ghz), it has 512mb of RAM. I want to add more...at least double it.

What should I do for max performance? I was thinking of adding 1 gig, but should I buy 2 512's or 1 one gig? WHats f4stAr?

ALso, whats the best nowdays? I think mine has the SDDR-RAM..actually I dont know, I just made that up :P

How much will this put me out of pocket? $200 is my budget.

 

if you go to fry's the guys there can look it up for u

 

OWC FTW. i was told OWC or ram jet. and at least 2gb.

http://www.macsales.com/

$189.99 there for the OWC 2gb.

 

2 gigs, damn! Did it make a difference? I have a ton of videos/pics/music stored (~140gigs) and its been feeling a bit sluggish lately.

Im hoping more ram would do the trick.

 

i believe more memory would help, but you need some hard disk space as well. right after boot up, 10.4 uses almost 300mb of my memory already. get an external drive too since you are shopping. LOL

 

I already have a 300gb external drive (Maxtor 1 touch, pretty awesome!).

I may buy another ~100gb to add internally.

 

you missed out on fry's massive sale last friday.

300 gb maxtor drive for $79...

 

If I had a choice i'd get a 3500, I have a 1500 now with the small V8, but a 3500 with a cummings diesel would be sick.

 

I rather have a Turbo Diesel RAM


j/k..

 

the cummings diesel is turbo

 

ok... my BAD ...

 

you dont own a mac though

 

goto
