  • The RAM itself does not matter no, but the slots on the motherboard that you use does. There are two slots that are used for the heap memory, meaning the computers temporary variables, and the other two are used solely for logical storage. Pending on what you are doing on your computer, it might matter.

I am a little tight at the minute and need to upgrade the Memory in my Macbook Pro 13' Early 2011. I currently have 4GB (2x2GB) Memory in my Macbook.

Does It Matter Which Slot You Put Ram In


I am wanting to upgrade to 16GB but cannot afford to do so yet. (I know I know tight B*st**d) Is it possible to just buy one 8GB Ram stick now and run my Mac off that untill I can afford to buy a second? or will this not work or will it have a massive reduction in performace?


I hope someone can help me....

MacBook Pro (13-inch Early 2011), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8)
