Re: Hard Drive Deals I wonder if you will be kicking urself when Black Friday Deals come out. IM holding out for
- 180 intel ssd for another cheap price OR
- 240 OCD vertex 4, AND
- 750 notebook hard drive (hopefully an XT momentus)
To put in an IMAC early 2008. I talked to the local apple store they will do it for me (change out components) for a reasonable price.
Of course will need to buy the 2.5 to 3.5 caddy for the SSD to rpelace the main hard drive and the SATA to PATE caddy for the 2.5 750gb replacing the optical drive. Perhaps I should also get an external hookup and case for the optical drive?
Got 4megs a ram 2x2 in the thing but reading in places where it can actually use up to 6megs. Problem being I would have to buy a 4bangar to replace one of the twos. Have you seen the price for 4mg stick for DDR2 RAM................

I need one or two 3TB hard drives, preferably 7200RPM. If they get down to the $100 level in and around Black Friday, I'll buy them. |

It will take 4GB sticks according to EveryMac. They need to be DDR2. They say you can go to 6GB, one 2 and one 4.

The irony of common sense, it is not that common.
I cannot deny anything I did not say.

Apple service manual agrees with you and technical specifications list 2GB (x2) is maximum supported size. Either Apple stock part number MB413G/B or MC322G/A. |

Yeah, there are some real weird quirks with some of the iMacs of that era. There is one from 2007 that will take a maximum of 2GB of RAM - either as one single 2GB stick, or two 1GB sticks, but for whatever reason it will not operate with two 2GB sticks no matter what you do. EveryMac might say it will work, but it just won't. |

There is also an iMac & some MacbookPro's that will support an odd configuration of 6GB, 1x4GB + 1x2GB, but will not support 2x4GB. lol.
And this is with a chipset that an equivalent PC will support 2x4GB.
