1 Gig or 2?

Hi,
Thinking about buying a new iMac and just wondered whether I should get 1GB or 2GB of RAM? My main use is internet, word processing etc. However I have a huge iTunes library that does take a while to load, and I also like to use iDVD and Photoshop that can run annoyingly slow.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

I think so, but I can spend your money all day - LOL!
My rule of thumb is to get the things that I want that I cannot add later, like the larger screen, faster CPU, better graphics - and add the RAM or keyboards later. In fact, you can get the standard HD and get a good quality FW drive later too.
I cannot imagine using a screen any smaller than the 20" that I have now. In fact, I am upgrading the PC to a 20" wide as a result.
You have a budget and I understand that, but there are ways to stretch it out so that you get what you need now without sacrificing long term.
Again, it is up to you and this is just my opinion, but the 20" screen is stunning and very handy to have. The 17" wide seems small to me.

  • Have family plan with 250 data which I almost use each month.  Going on vacation and will be on the road for two weeks.  Should I up my data for a month then change back.  Is it worth it or should I just run over and pay the extra 15 per gig?

    Hello mlazaretti. Vacation time is awesome. (Especially a road trip!) Since you will be going out for two weeks, you never know if having extra data may come in handy. I highly recommend switching to the next tier up so this way you have more data. This way it is only $10.00 more versus $15.00, and you dont have to worry about overages. Then change back at the start of the next billing cycle.
    If you need help making this change let us know! Have a safe trip!

  • I have a Mac Book Pro with a 320 gig hdd and my drive is corrupted and I can't engage it. So I would like to switch to a 1 terabyte drive can this be done?

    I have a Mac Book Pro with a 320hdd, 2.33 processor, 8 gigs of RAM and  OS X 10.9.4 .  My hdd crashed and I cannot access it so is it possible to install a 1 terabyte drive with the operating software already installed and also upgrade my RAM to 16 gigs?

    If I were you I'd install a small SSD as the boot drive from OWC:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC
    Then put a second large conventional drive either in the optical bay (Data Doubler) or in an external.
    You don't say which MBP you have: Size, CPU type.
    Also when you upgrade you could see if you can salvage your data from your old HD. Can you hear it spin up? If so Data Rescue IV.

  • I have a iPhone 5.  In usage, it says i have 2.1 gigs used because of photos and camera.  I have deleted all my photos via iPhoto and now reset the phone back to factory settings in order to try to solve this problem, to no avail. Help!

    I have a iPhone 5.  In usage, it says i have 2.1 gigs used because of photos and camera.  I have deleted all my photos via iPhoto and now reset the phone back to factory settings in order to try to solve this problem, to no avail.   Both iTunes  and the phone say that 2.1 gigs are being used, even though the phone now has nothing on it.  What is going on?

    Yeah it works fine over wifi the problem is when I try to use it over my 3G. It's really stressing me out now.

    I got a flashing folder with a question mark. I got a new hard drive and upgraded to 4 gigs and can't open anything or reload the operating system? Help? FYI: I have been using boot camp with windows 7 and started getting a kernal_data_Page_error and it would reboot windows, i was trying to do a chkdsk on the next reboot, but thats when i started getting this issue. I have put in a new hard drive and went from 2 gigs to 4. I can not get the computer to do anything, even the monitor does not show anything now????

    Prep your new drive:
    Drive Preparation
    1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs,) then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Install OS X.

    Macbook Air memory is soldered to the logicboard.
    You can only get 4GB or 8GB (2012 Models) in the Air when you order it that way.  Otherwise, you're stuck with 2GB.
    Unless you're talking about hard drive space - then it is upgradeable - click HERE to see which one corresponds to your model.

  • Memory On Duel 2 gig G5 Disappearing.

    My Mac crashed yesterday 2/11/09. I noticed after I rebooted that the memory was showing 4.6 gig instead of 6 gig. I added 4 more gig last August. It has never had any other problems before this.
    I looked at Diagnostics:
    Power On Self-Test:
    Last Run: 2/11/09 7:33 AM
    Result: Failed
    Failure type: Memory
    Memory slots: DIMM0/J11, DIMM1/J12, DIMM4/J41, DIMM5/J42
    I should have 4 512k dimms in slots 1 & 2. I should have 4 1 gig dimms in slots 3 & 4. I swapped dimms around finally concluding 1 set of 1 gig dimms was the problem. I removed them and everything seemed to work running with 4 gigs. Then the same thing happened again with the same Diagnostic error as above. So I put all the dimms back in and booted with the hardware test disk. It sees all the dimms properly. I ran the test (2 hours & 30 minutes). It ran fine. I put the computer to sleep & in the morning ran the long test again no errors and 6 gig of ram showing.
    Any ideas what is or was wrong?

    OK - I started to have similar problem:
    0) Dual 2.5ghz PowerPC G5 (late 2004)/4 gigabyte (512megs*2, 512megs*2, 1gig*2) w/OSX 10.4.11
    1) The very first cold boot always kernel panicks within 3 minutes.
    2) Force-rebooting allows me to run the computer for a while, but putting it to sleep crashes the OS (w/KP)
    It ran just fine for 3 years or so ... then all of the sudden i'm faced with this weirdness
    So I checked the System Profiler... under "Diagnostics" it shows the Power-on selftest result:
    Last Run: 4/17/09 10:14 AM
    Result: Failed
    Failure type: Memory
    Memory slots: DIMM0/J11, DIMM1/J12
    And I booted the machine w/ Apple Hardware Test disk, and it tells me DIMM1/J12 is bad.
    I tried swapping around memories (while keeping in mind they work in pair of course) and thet DIMM1/J12 still shows as defective! ....
    Funny thing is that the "defected" DIMM sometimes gets recognised. The machine sometimes tells me the first pair is 512meg*2, while other times it shows it's a pair of 250meg DIMMs ... Once in a blue moon it shows the first slot pair is "EMPTY" ... like right now.
    Of course I zapped NVRAM and PRAM several times but the issue remains... I know it's a hardware issue because the machine crashes even while running in the blackscreen singleuser mode. Very unreliable.
    Could someone tell me the cause(s) of this weirdness? Thank you in advance!

  • Memory on my macbook air keeps disappearing.  I have 120 gigs and I am down to 150mb without adding any files.

    Memory on my macbook air keeps disappearing.  I have 120 gigs and I am down to 150mb without adding any files.

    Thanks...I have tried the various options and the only item of interest is that my only account on this computer says it has 102 gig of memory used up.  However, when I open and look at the individual files, they add up to less than 15 gigs.

  • The 2 Gig Ram Question/Issue

    So MSI tested this board and rated it to support 2 Gigs of RAM but the biggest stick tested was 512.  That means that the most you could hope for would be 3X512 and that ain't 2 GIGs.  Here is the MIS link to memory modules you may want to reference:
    http://www.msicomputer.com/msiforms/k8tneo_ddr400_recommended.asp
    Here is the exchange I had with the OFFICIAL tech support guy at Corsaire:
    Quote
    I have these two:
    http://www.newegg.com/app/Showimage.asp?image=20-145-431-05.jpg/20-145-431-03.JPG
    I have 3 memory slots (2 currently occupied), but I can only have 4 banks total of memory to stay at 400 mHz FSB. I want to add this stick to take me to a gig of RAM:
    http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=20-145-475&depa=0
    This would then occupy my 3rd slot giving me over a Gig of RAM. This is my setup:
    K8T Neo FIS2R Bios 1.7 (made by MSI)
    Athlon 64 bit 3400
    2 X 256 Corsaire XMS PC3200LL
    Slots 1 & 3 (timings: 2-3-2-6) [2.7 V]
    Antec Tru Power 550
    Windows XP Pro
    *added*
    I have ver. 1.1 I believe.
    also, I can run 4 banks and still have 400 FSB. I am pretty sure that the sticks I have now are only 2 banks total. So the stick I want to buy CANNOT be more than 2 banks but should be safe.
    MIS and my board have major issues with Corsaire. Many are told to steer clear, but I already own two sticks and they were expensive and I will be damned if I have to go with something else. Here's my rig:
    K8T Neo FIS2R Bios 1.7
    Athlon 64 bit 3400
    2 X 256 Corsaire XMS PC3200LL (Twinx)
    Slots 1 & 3 (timings: 2-3-2-6) [2.7 V]
    this is exactly what my RAM sticks say:
    CMX256A-3200LL
    XMS3205v1.1
    0308120
    Quote
    You would need to match the module exactly to what you have now only CMX512-3200LL Rev 1.1 The Pro version will not work in this MB with the modules you have now! Sorry! The other choice would be to find another use the memory you now have and just get a Twinx1024-3200LLPro instead!
    Look, I just want 2 Gigs or 1.5 gigs of RAM and I want to run it at CAS 2 like I am running right now.  The KingMax RAM is CAS 3!  Other than Kingmax and Apacer (the Crucial 512 stick is not at Newegg) the other RAM ain't available from Newegg, so where am I supposed to get this RAM from.  And the Apacer is CAS 3 too!!!!!

    that will get you 2 gigs of ram and using only 4 banks should allow the speeds to remain at 400, when you use 3-512's you usually have 6 banks which the mem controller doen't like and gives you 333.....
    really, it's 6 banks?1 damn.  I'll have to scrap that. and yet 2 one GIG sticks are still only 4 banks??
    aside from what the poster right below you has, what do you think about these two sticks:

  • Ram Upgrade in CQ61-411WM up to 8 gigs with Win 7 64 bit?

    The specs for this machine is here:
     http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01980785&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&lc=en&dlc=en...
    There is a company selling ram for this model that says with 32 bit the max is 4 gigs and the max with 64 bit is 8 gigs. Is this company wrong or are the HP specs page wrong?
    This is the page that says 8 gigs will work for 64 bit in this machine.
    http://www.satech.com/compaq-presario-notebook-memory-compaq-presario-cq61-series-memory-hp-compaq-p...
    Also the sticky in this forum about Upgrades says:
    1 ) The bus speed of the new modules should be the highest speed that the
    specifications of your notebook state. Do not mix modules of different bus
    speeds. Mixing bus speeds results in defaulting to lowest speed and a possibly
    non operational memory module configuration. "
    But as you see.. my specs page does NOT list the memory bus speeds!
    If the max bus speed are not listed in the specs page, then how can I purchase any memory at all?   I cannot !

  • Crackling, Left Rear Channel noise, IRQs, 4 Gigs of Memory, fixes and problems with XFi Fatal

    Hello fellow troubleshooters. Well I've been working on my XFI issues since there are so many of them trying to make the one piece in my newly built system work as intended. I will put my hardware info below this post for comparison purposes if it helps you at all or for feedback/ideas. Well first off I had the crackling noise popping so on even when my machine was idle. If you have not done this yet do it
    !!! Start, Control Panel, Sounds Speech and Audio Device, Change Speaker Settings, Advanced (in device volume), ok now there is a bunch of sliders go to "options" check everything, ok now that you see all the sliders mute Everything besides: Play Control, Wave, CD Player for testing purpose. You will probably hear a difference as you do it. Especially Mic 2. Ok well that issue resolved my popping crackling noises when idle. Ok so I still have a shared IRQ issue since I have an Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe board and the slots go as such PCI-E, PCI, PCI, PCI-E, PCI. Well since the GeForce 7800 GTX cards I have take up not just the PCI-E slot, but also the PCI slot is covered from the Huge Fan. Then the Same thing for the Second graphics card. So I have only one slot that works for my PCI Fatalty sound card. Well this forces me to share PCI IRQ between one of the Video Cards and the Sound Card. Its not a "conflict" it is simply sharing the IRQ, after the above issue fixed my popping issue this no longer was a concern. Now my big issue is that I sent my Sub Woofer in for RMA, I have the Gigaworks S750 7. THX speakers, they are great but when I really crank up the volume on them I would get the sound like a speaker was blown in the left rear channel, so I swapped another speaker in its place and I have the same problem. So the RMA folks said to send in the Sub Woofer which cost me over $30 to ship the thing only to have them tell me there is no problem. Well I had recently done RMAs on my sound card, both Video Cards, and my mother board too in hopes of fixing the next problem. So everything is new though I got a refurb on the mobo. So I'm just waiting on my Sub woofer now so I'm using my headphones and guess what I'm finding there is this noise in the left speaker, an issue I sent the headphones back for a long time ago when I was using them waiting to buy my speakers. I have the Creative Pro Gamer headphones. So now I read a post about someone else with the same issue left channel, and I have to wonder I am not alone and that usually means in Creative Labs land there probably is others with this issue that have spouses that wont let them stretch their audiophile legs with extreme volume, if this is you try it out kick up the bass, and see if you have this problem too, if so please post it here. I have no clue on this one and I am open to any ideas. Ok and the last issue!! This is the real problem I'm facing now. I play EQ2 I love my MMO titles with the occassional single player title for those short stints at the computer between work, parenting, and stuff my wife demands be started before she finishes speaking of it (those of you married know what I'm talking about). I have 2 operating systems, XP Home, and XP Pro 64. Home I use for Office, graphic design, and general applications. XP Pro 64 I use purely for gaming. All my games are installed through this OS which is on my 2 74 Gig Raptors in Raid 0, I have another Partition for XP Home, and a 3rd for all the game installs. So I recently found that after selecting Extreme Graphics option in EQ2 then moving the rest of the sliders to Max that my G5 keyboard which has a performance monitor in it showing the amount of Ram usage showed me hitting about 90% and would spilke at the same time as I found I had frame rate slowdown. So I decided to get 2 more gigs of Corsair Twin XMS 3500Pro 024x2 memory bumping me up to 4 gigs. Well I had to go into the bios I found and change a memory setting to discrete and enable the memory hole in order for XP Pro 64 and the motherboard to see the memory. At this time I was working on other things with my computer, and suddenly the popping noise came back so I'm pissed now.... But oddly its not happening in XP home, only in XP 64. So I'm thinking I may have to go to XP home for my gaming OS, then just before I install home I remember that XP home wont register 4 gigs of memory.... So I go turn off the memory hole and discrete settings and this sets the memory to 2 gigs.... Crackling sound in ALL EAX GAMES goes away.... So now clearly my issue with my sound card and EAX crackling noise is Memory related somehow. Now I have isolated it to 4 gigs of memory, but it makes me think of those folks with this issue perhaps something is amiss with their memory and how it works with timing, or onboard memory on the sound card which is a first time memory is put on a sound card?.... Any input is appreciated as to how to repair this issue, thanks for reading, below is my system set up.

    Evolve,
    I have the a8n-sli Premium which as you stated is basically the same board with a couple extra items. I have the latest beta bios ver -06. Since the early fall release the option which we will be talking about was available in the premium board which it I remember was Bios rev 9. I would download the latest bios rev.
    07.04 (latest beta?or go with 06)?and flash in. Here are the steps to get the proper memory options to work and I have also included my system specs to compare.
    ) Hit Del to get into Bios
    2) Go to the second tab on the top of the screen "Advanced"
    3) Select the first option in the menu "CPU Configuration"
    4) Select the first option in the "CPU Configuration" menu called "DRAM Configuration"
    5) Select Manual configuration from the first Menu item.
    6) The last two options in the same menu for DRAM are s/w remapping over 4G and h/w remapping over 4G. Select the "s/w remapping option over 4G" and enable it. Disable the "h/w remapping over 4G."?
    7) Hit f0 and save the config.
    You should now at post have 4GBws total but only 3GBs of usable memory and your X-fi should crush it in XP64 and XP32.

    By the way this is defiantly a XP64 driver problem because even with h/w remapping enabled in XP32 the card sounds fine. It only happens in XP64.

  • Memory Question "4x1 Gig or 2x2 Gig?" what is faster?

    Memory Question "*4x1 Gig or 2x2 Gig*?" what is faster?
    I'm still don't know if witch to choose?
    4 times 1 gigabyte Ram Memory is cheaper but if I choose for 2 times 2 GB Ram I can always beef it it later.
    And is my memory faster if I'm using 4 slots with 1 gig over 2 slot with 2 gig?
    I'm asking this question because I think using 4 times the memory bandwidth will be faster?

    Hello Jan
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    The iMac (Late 2009): Installing or replacing memory article and your User's Guide are pretty clear, they both say that +"You can use 2 GB or 4 GB RAM SO-DIMMs of 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM in each slot."+ and not 1GB modules. > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3918
    To upgrade your ram you will want at least 2 more 2 or 4GB modules and add that to the current 2 x 2GB of ram. > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/iMac/DDR321.527

  • 8 Gig Memory Modules

    I have an HP Pavilion HPE h8-1120 Desktop PC with 8 Gig of RAM. I want to upgrade to the maximum allowable 16 Gig. There are only two slots so I'm looking for a pair of 8 gig sticks. Can't find any on HP's recommended vendors website. Any ideas? 

    Hi,
    Please try the following relaible vendor:
