Hi guys, I'm trying to fix a problem I have regarding the subject from this email. I bought 2 x 4GB RAM (same brand from my Mac Mini) to upgrade my Mac mini. When I restart the Mac with both 4GB in, the Mac can't restart.
Then I tried: 1GB(slot1) and 4GB(slot2) and works fine. 4GB(slot1) and 1GB(slot2) and works fine. Anyone know what can be the problem, when I have both 4GB looks like the Mac is not getting any RAM to start. I checked different website but can't find the answer to this. Should I just use 5GB RAM instead of the 8GB? Any help about this issue would be appreciated Regards, Al On Fri, Aug 17, 2012 at 6:05 PM, Al Aldridge <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Sam, > > Thanks for your reply > > Regards, > > Al > > > On Thu, Aug 16, 2012 at 2:44 PM, Sam - MacAmbulance < > [email protected]> wrote: > >> The SSD drive will speed up the system so any usage of virtual memory >> (when the 2GB is fully used and the mac relies on virtual memory more than >> usual) will be much faster. >> >> 8GB will be more than enough, I doubt you'd notice the difference between >> 8 and 16GB. >> >> Regards >> >> Sam >> >> -- >> MacAmbulance >> Sam Mullen >> 07747778022 >> [email protected] >> >> On 16 Aug 2012, at 14:09, Al Aldridge <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Hi Sam, >> >> Thanks for the quick reply.
