!5" 1.5GHz Powerbook : 2GB RAM

SierraDragon · Mar 11, 2005, 10:28 PM

My new 15" PB is not here yet, but the 1 GB RAM from OWC (great vendor) is. I will have 1.5 GB total until I sell the 0.5 GB the PB comes with, and then I will add another 1 GB stick. Among other things, I run Photoshop for a living, so even with max RAM and an external (OWC Mercury FW400/800/USB2) 250 GB drive for scratch disk any current PB is a bit lame.

gururafiki · Mar 11, 2005, 10:42 PM

2gigs & lovin it! I am surprised how much of a difference between 1gig and 2gigs makes! Doesnt seem like it would matter much, because the system never needs more than 512mb's to run, but with 2gigs it really is a bit faster.

Cless · Mar 11, 2005, 11:05 PM

1.25GB in my 1.25GHz PowerBook. Works quite nicely. Might go up to 2GB someday, but it's more likely that I'll get a G5 (or G6) in a couple years and then sell this to get a smaller PowerBook.

12" 1.33GHz P'Book w/768MB RAM. It's done everything I've ever asked of it!

JHromadka · Mar 12, 2005, 12:09 AM

1 GB

Chris Bucher · Mar 12, 2005, 12:58 AM

2 gb in my pb 1.25, cause that's all it'll take. but really because nIkon Capture really sucks the life out of my powerbook with D2X files. Can't wait for PBG5.

As for me I have 1gb of RAM in my 15-inch 1.25 ghz. It is cool for now but when I eventually upgrade to 17-inch model my dream machine I must have 2gb of RAM.

Only 768 MB on my new 12" AlPb, but I did spring for the 100 GB HD upgrade.

Just ordered a new 17" 1.67 PB. This will be my first 'new' PB, and I went all out. I ordered it with 2GB. I think I will notice the difference between my 800Mhz PB.....

legacyb4 · Mar 12, 2005, 11:44 AM

ditto

PB12/1Ghz; I need more than 256MB, but don't use it enough to replace the 512MB that was added when I purchased it...

1.5 GB in 15" 1.33 GHz. Lived with 256 for about 20 min before ordering the upgrade.

Garage81 · Mar 12, 2005, 12:45 PM

my 1gig upgrade comes in in a few hours

cant wait, ill be at 1.5gigs.

tempus · Mar 12, 2005, 01:33 PM

512 in my 12" 1.5Ghz... Has worked beautifully, I figure I might goto 768 or 1.25 gigs in a few months if I deem it necessary.

JeffHarris · Mar 12, 2005, 06:27 PM

There's 1GB of RAM in my 1ghz TiBook.
There's 640MB of RAM in my girlfriend's 800mhz iBook G4 (if that counts).

jasonsRX7 · Mar 12, 2005, 07:13 PM

768mb

ism · Mar 12, 2005, 07:26 PM

768Mb in revB 12". Could do with more, but the price (in the uk anyway) doesn't justify it. Why on earth a powerbook has only 256 built in I don't know. I know you could argue the 12" pb isn't really a pro machine, but Apple sell it as such and 256Mb just doesn't cut it.

Same with my Ti, except the reason I haven't upgraded to the full GB is that I'm just loath to ditch a perfectly good 256MB stick. I'm cheap like that.

1.25GB in my rev. C 12" Powerbook.

2 G in my 1.5 AL

netzien · Mar 14, 2005, 01:37 AM

1gb in my 1Ghz Ti, 768mb in my wifes 1Ghz Ti

The Al powerbooks are too flimsy, big and ugly to bother with; we are waiting for something better before we bother to pay for such an expensive upgrade

GhettoD · Mar 14, 2005, 03:28 PM

For all of you with Safari problems, why have you not switched to Firefox? I have been using Mozilla and later Firefox on my Windows desktop for years, and its one of the first things I installed on my Powerbook. You can get nightly optimized Firefox builds that run incredibly fast and are by far the best browser I've seen for OS X

Sorry, too many tabs open and I replied in the wrong forum ;-)

But my statement still stands, download firefox!

j0nkatz · Mar 14, 2005, 03:54 PM

Yeah I have two stick of RAM in mine!

ticedric · Mar 16, 2005, 12:27 AM

1.5 GB...but I don't think I will upgrade to 2. I use virtual PC and Adobe apps...if not it would be a wast of money.

512mb in a 15" revC

I want more but it costs so much :o

Randman · Apr 15, 2005, 05:28 AM

You have a PB, a PM and an iMac and you can't afford more than 512 of ram?

jdiddy · Apr 15, 2005, 05:28 AM

I have a Rev C. 12inch 1.33 with 768MBs of ram. I was really tempted to upgrade to 1.25MBs today with the Kingston 1gig for $119 after rebate but I could'nt find a buyer for my 512 that quickly. I did score a iCurve for $30 so I still managed to get a new toy for my PB.

d.fine · Apr 15, 2005, 01:05 PM

1GB in 1.25GHz Rev1 Alu PB, for use with Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, bla bla bla...

spiff72 · Apr 15, 2005, 01:37 PM

512MB in a new 17" 1.67, but will be 1.5GB when I get home from work and install the stick I ordered yesterday. WooHoo!!

I will be editing the sig below soon...

shuffles are great for slipping in a pocket...iPods are sometimes too big (plus they act as USB flash drives...)

768MB in my 12" Rev.B

Horrible for doing any [large] work in Photoshop or Painter...

Oh and gaming sucks on it

But I love my Mac!

1GB in a Rev A 17" PB

ddma · Apr 17, 2005, 10:47 PM

1.5GB 1.67GHz but only 1GB now because the lower ram slot dies and I am too lazy to send it back to fix.

sadpandas · Apr 18, 2005, 03:21 PM

2 gigs to go with my new 15" 1.67 pbook... all the bells and whistles. i do mostly audio recording as well as photoshop and illustrator with the little lady.

benwhanlee · Apr 18, 2005, 04:15 PM

i have 1.25 gigs in my 1.25 15" aluminum and 512 mb in my 667 titanium.

i keep my old stock modules for when i send my machine back into apple for repair. some have complained about apple simply stating that the 3rd party ram was the cause of the problem, when it clearly wasn't. i'm pretty paranoid about stuff though...

Marcus Karlsson · Apr 18, 2005, 04:34 PM

I have 8 megs of ram in my PowerBook 170.
