How Do I Find Apple Memory?

Apple memory is as easy to find as memory for any other computer

. There is a commonly-held misconception that Macintosh computers can only use hardware manufactured by the company itself. This is not true. There are plenty of third-party retailers who offer a wide variety of products and, in many cases, who offer a broader selection of products than does Apple itself. The biggest concern is making certain that one has the correct memory for their system. Most retailers have various cross-referencing applications that ensure that one purchases the correct memory for their Mac.

Apple memory is easiest to purchase when it's an outright replacement. This means no upgrade in speed or capacity, simply replacing one piece of RAM with another of the exact same specifications. This may be done when one has a faulty memory component. It may also be done to upgrade the memory by simply adding another RAM board to the computer. When one upgrades their memory, purchasing the exact same model that's found in one of the computer's sockets for each of the other motherboard sockets is the easiest-possible type of improvement one can perform.

In most cases, however, users will wish to purchase Apple memory which is faster and of a higher capacity than that with which their computer shipped. This is usually very easy, as well. Most third-party retailer sites will offer a simple cross-referencing system. Apple tends to separate its machines by the model rather than by a series number, as do other manufacturers. This means that one usually only needs to match up their computer model-PowerBook G4, for instance-to see what's available for that model from any retailer. Compared to PC's, it's much easier to select the correct memory for a Macintosh computer.

Apple memory need not be expensive. It frequently does cost more than PC memory, however. This is simply supply and demand, not a result of memory for Macs being better or worse than that manufactured for PCs. There are fewer Macintoshes on the market and, therefore, there is less demand for their parts. These computers are upgraded as much as are PCs, however, and it makes sense, given that some of them come at a fairly high price. With proper upgrades and quality parts, these computers can remain current and serviceable for many years after they were purchased.
