Finding Memory and Other Parts for Your Vintage Computer

Personal computers first became popular in the 1980's. As time goes by, vintage computers and computer products are becoming harder to find, with many older items now sought after by collectors from around the world. If you have an old Apple Mac or other computer, then you may want to find replacement parts, such as memory or RAM, so that you can get it up and running again.

How Do I Choose the Right Memory for My Vintage Mac?

Older computer models varied significantly in size and shape, even when they came from the same manufacturer. If you are trying to find a new memory module or RAM for your old Apple Mac, then you need to do your research and choose your parts carefully to make sure that they are compatible with your device. Consider the following to help guide your choice:

  • Size - The first, and possible the most important thing to think about when looking for new memory for your vintage Mac is the size. Older memory modules vary in size from megabytes to multiple gigabytes, depending on age and the computer they are designed for. If you are looking for something for a newer model, such as a MacBook Pro, then you will probably need more memory, while older devices are made to run on smaller modules.
  • Connectivity - You also need to make sure that you will be able to connect your new RAM to your computers system. For example, a memory module that is designed for a MacBook Pro probably won't be compatible with the system and connectivity of an older desktop MAC.
  • System configuration - The system configuration of different computers can be very different, especially when it comes to older models. Make sure that you get memory that is compatible with the device you have.

What Other Vintage Parts Should I Consider?

If you are looking at new memory for your vintage PC, then you should probably consider replacing other parts. If you are having trouble finding the right parts or understanding exactly what you need, consider speaking to a pro. Other popular vintage parts include:

  • Monitors - Older style PCs usually came in two parts, a monitor, and a CPU tower. If you want to use your vintage Mac, then you should consider finding a new monitor.
  • Processors - If your vintage device is slow or not really working, then you may need to replace your CPU/processor.
  • Hard drives - Used for storing data, older style hard drives are extremely different to modern hard drives, so pay attention when choosing one for your PC.
