Why is the maximum amount of ram available for my A1260 only 6Gb? To clarify I have a Macbook Pro 4,1 A1260 2.4Ghz 2x2GB Ram and was thinking of buying a 4GB stick and using one of the current 2GB sticks to make it up to 6GB, but why cant i use two 4GB sticks to make it up to 8GB? is this a hardware limitation?
I have a MBP A1260, and was able to use the 8Gb of ram, however this config reduces battery life and generates a lot more heat. I am now running 6Gb and am geting 4-5 Hrs on 1 charge.
The A1260 will take 8 GBs of RAM. Make sure your Operating System is updated to OSX 10.6.6. http://blog.macsales.com/9102-secret-fir…
Your computer will only recognize 6GB, so you’ll need a 4gb and 2gb stick in the slots.
I have a late 2007 macbook pro, i was able to upgrade the ram to 8Gb and have the system run smoothly, however the extra ram raised the working temp by over 20’ C. I reduced my ram to 6Gb and am now happy with a satiable ( and cooler) system. Hope this helps you to decide which upgrade to choose.
Model: MACBOOK PRO (15-INCH /2.2GHZ) Date of Purchase: 07-Nov-07. I believe it’s the crest line chipset. Last digits of my serial # X91. All the forums say I’m capped at 6GB. But I saw a post that suggests a firmware update recently allows more.
