1GB of RAM on Logic...

Is a 2.0 MacBook w/ 1Gb of ram good enough to run logic express 7?

I would say it is. The more RAM you have the more simultaneous audio channels you can have, but 1GB should be adequate for most. I've got 2GB and when I run several channels of audio, plugs/etc., I still have plenty of free memory. YMMV though.

HT201364 I have most of the requirements for mavericks, however, can I still upgrade to mavericks with 1GB of ram??

I was wondering If I can upgrade to Mavericks if I have MOST of the requirements available..... The only thing I need to do is upgrade the ram. I currently have 1GB of Ram
Or MUST I upgrade the ram???????

And check the Mavericks requirements again. A MacBook that shipped with only 1 Gig of RAM is probably too old for use with Mavericks. As I believe that all of the qualifying MacBooks shipped with a minimum of 2 Gigs RAM.
The minimum requirement for the MocBook is:
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
Note: It always helps to mention your exact Mac model when posting a question in the forums.

Is it ok to use 1GB + 256MB RAM in Satellite P25-s607

I have a Satellite P25-s607, and I wanted to know the following:
1) if it's ok to install only a single 1GB stick of RAM next to a 256MB stick? Will I lose any performance speed doing this versus 2 1GB sticks (assuming I use under 1GB of RAM at most times)? Sounds like it will not have a performance hit since this model doesn't support dual-channel memory (according to crucial.com)
2) I assume this is the correct (best) module to use: [1GB, 200-pin SODIMM, DDR PC2700|http://www.crucial.com/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=3B53A794A5CA7304] with specs:
# Module Size: 1GB
# Package: 200-pin SODIMM
# Feature: DDR PC2700
# Specs: DDR PC2700 CL=2.5 Unbuffered NON-ECC DDR333 2.5V 128Meg x 64
3) Is there any reason to install BIOS 2.10? It is listed under the toshiba support site under P25-S607-related, but the only change it states is: "Added support for the Pentium 4 D1 stepping CPU"
4) Is it possible to install a better CPU? I assume not...
5) What about graphics card (it came with NVIDIA® GeForce? FX Go5200 graphics controller; 64MB DDR external video memory)? Also I assume not...
Thanks for any help!!

Hi
Regarding the question number:
1) The notebook can be upgraded up to 2GB RAM and therefore you can use one 1GB RAM and one 256MB module. But its always better if you would use the identical memory modules. Its better for performance but I doubt you will notice an performance boost.
2) Yes, you have to use the 200-pin SODIMM, DDR PC2700 modules
3) If your notebook runs trouble free then I dont see any reasons for a BIOS update
4) Usually its not advisable to upgrade the CPU due to a higher heat dissipation and overheating risks due to a higher CPU performance
5) No, this is definitely not possible because the GPU is fixed on the board

Is 1GB of RAM Enough?

I was planning on buying a MacBook with the SuperDrive and a 2.0GHz. Is 1GB of RAM enough to run photoshop, dreamweaver, and flash, beacuse if I only get 1G of RAM then I can upgrade the hard drive to 100GB. I plan on using Boot Camp also.
This will be my first mac.
Windows XP Slow Celeron

But don't forget that the MacBook has integrated graphics, which siphons off of the main ram instead of providing its own.
I have 1GB, and my MacBook usually only has a couple of MB free, even when only running basic applications. You should also monitor your page ins/outs in Activity Monitor. If the number of outs rises at a rate that you find uncomfortable, you should probably upgrade.
Crucial has great, and usually cheap, ram, but right now their 2GB MacBook kit is priced at a ridiculous $417 (http://tinyurl.com/ymbyq7). I just bought a 2GB kit from Other World Computing (http://tinyurl.com/mo5bz), and I'm waiting for it to come in the mail.

What is the mximum ram which logic 8.02 supports

hi this is kamal from hyderabad INDIA.I`am using Logic 8.02 on intel mac dual core*2 2.66 Ghz. please do anyone inform me that what is the highest amount of ram which logic 8.02 supports.

hi kamal,
logic itself won't access more than 3.7 Gb at a time, but the application and the plugs don't really need that much, even on really big projects. the only exception to this is apple loops which for technical reasons have to be stored in RAM.
the only reason you may be interest in RAM for logic (more than the 3.7 Gb limit) is if you are running big orchestral libraries. if you have more than 5 Gb of RAM installed, the EXS will be able to access that physical RAM outside of logics memory space. that means you can have 4Gb (well at least 3.7) of samples loaded per instance of EXS. vienna instruments and the new PLAY fro EWQLSO can do the same thing.
the other alternative is to run your sample libraries as standalone applications outside of logic. but we really are talking about very big libraries now. if you have a big library you want to run, and it is on the exs, then you can install more than 5Gb and you whould be very happy.
native instruments DFD will allow you to decide how much of the library is streamed and how much is loaded into RAM. that is a good way of optimizing as well.

I have a Mac OSX Version 10.5.8 When I put in my disc to upgrade to snow leopard version 10.6.3 it tells me I need atleast 1gb of ram memory to download. what can I do

I have a Mac OSX Version 10.5.8 When I put in my disc to upgrade to snow leopard version 10.6.3 it tells me I need atleast 1gb of ram memory to download. what can I do

Your iMac can take a total of 2 GBs of RAM Max.
Maximum Memory
2.0 GB
Memory Slots
2 - 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM
You will be able to install OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and it will run, but you may not be happy with the performance overall.
OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and later OS X versions use more and more CPU, GPU and RAM resources.
OS X 10.6, by itself, will use between 2-4 GBs of RAM to run quickly, smoothly and efficiently.
Start running additonal applications and your iMac is going to struggle.
Just fair warning if you notice that your iMac is running slower after installing OS X 10.6.
Good Luck!

1GB of RAM???

It will not let me install aperture and its reason is because I do not have 1GB of RAM. However I do or I should cause my computer is new how can I check it if I do have 1GB of RAM and if I do then how can I install aperture

Please fully describe your computer so we can properly respond: model, RAM, graphics card. Aperture needs more than 1 GB of RAM, ideally more than 2 GB of RAM and has other needs as well.

Poor OEL5-3 performance when using over 1Gb of RAM

Hi, I have a Linux distribution ( Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.3 i.e. Redhat ) that I have installed. It works fine when I used 2*512Mb dimms or replace them with a single 1Gb dimm. However when I try to go above 1 Gb the bootup and general performance deteriorates badly. The BIOS picks up the memory changes ok and I am using the same type of memory sticks. It makes no difference if I load a single memory channel with the 2 sticks or balance the sticks over the 2 channels - I still get poor performance. When I return to 1Gb of RAM performance is great
In terms of install I just followed the Oracle Release note and Readme on the DVD itself. To be honest they are incredibly basic. There does not appear to be any specific OEL 5-3 installation manual on Technet. I simply followed the prompts on scereen and choose a default install
I have seen quite a few hits concerning problems with performance over 1Gb for Linux such as having to enable Highmem support in the kernel - however I have not seen any instruction how to check or do this - any ideas ?

Your two 512M sticks are undoubtably well matched and live comfortably together. Hopefully they did actually use dual channel mode.
Your 1G lives well on its own as well
However for the greater than 1G, ie 1G + 0.5G you may be using 2 sticks that do not live well together and are causing isses with delayed response. (At worst can only 0.5G is being recognised - (use grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo if necessary to check) ). In general issues seem better with DDR2 than with earlier memory in this regard. I suppose timing with memtest86 might be an interesting metric. I must admit myself i'd prefer to use 1g+1g or even 2g + 2g (i know on 32bit I might not see it all) rather than 1g+2g or 1g+0.5g.
Anyway what I am trying to say is that hardware should not be eliminated as a possible cause at this stage.

[845 Series] Adding 1gb of Ram to the MSI 6507 MB.

I have just attempted to add 1gb of ram (PC2100 DDR 266MHz CL2.5) to my MS6507 MB. When I go to power up my system nothing happens, the system only starts working again when I remove the new stick of ram. I have a 512mb stick in the other slot.
I have checked and the MB supports up to 2GB of ram. Any ideas why this is not being picked up??

I have tried the 1gb stick in both slots. SPD is set in the bios, I had previously been using 512 and 256 sticks in the two slots. Basically trying to find out if I have been sold a faulty stick of ram or if its not compatible with my MB (MS-6507). I have checked the MB spec and it says it can take up to 2GB of ram so am pretty sure that compatibility is not the issue??

Questions after adding 1GB of RAM

I just installed 1GB of RAM, and I have 2 problems/questions.
1. The new RAM is not showing up in the "About this Mac". However, my iMac is running noticeably faster. Do I need to to something to correct this?
2. Also, since adding the RAM, there is no startup tone. I have checked the volume and restarted the computer several times with no change.
Are the two situations connected? Any suggestions?

I just found the solution/answer to both issues, and it was an easy one. To be sure that I had a proper connection between the RAM and the computer, I removed the RAM and reinstalled it.
Problem solved!

RAM Slot / Logic Board Failure

Hello.
I tried to upgrade my MBP 2.16GHz (sept 2006) from the original 1GB RAM (DDR2 667Mhz) by 2GB (new total 3GB) using the second slot that was still free, but the computer did not reboot after doing so.
After trying out different combinations including placing only the original 1GB into the second slot (no rebooting either) I placed the new 2GB into the first slot and it now workes fine there. By that I have got at least 1GB more than before but I don't know what may have happened to the second slot and if there is a way to fix it, so I could also use the old 1GB (the max. RAM for this machine is 3GB I was told)
The only possible answer seems to be that the logic board is damaged.
Has anybody experienced anything similar or knows what to do?
Thanks!

As for failure of RAM slots, any sorts of misbehavior of the system may be due to logicboard issues with the RAM. You could get kernel panics, which can result in data loss, or further damage to the file system which you have to periodically repair. The speed sometimes may be negatively affected, but data loss issues are more paramount. Backup frequently!

Maximum RAM that Logic will use on a PPC machine

I have a Power mac PPC Dual Proc 2.7 with 4gb ram - I was wondering if it might be worth going all the way to 8 gig - is this going to be useful to me? i.e can Logic use it?
many thanks in advance

We're still trying to figure that out, there's a long thread about this already.

Has anyone been able to load more than 4 gigs of EXS samples into ram?

Will macbook pro (13-inch: 2.7 GHz, 8GB Ram), run logic pro9/pro tools8?

i have been looking at macbook pro's for a while and i thought that this would run the software fine, but i heard that it may not, i am not at all experienced with the was mac's in general distribute the cpu usage in comparison to windows and how memory/power hungry they are, obv they are not as bad as windows, they are alot more efficient, but thats as far as i know. ijust wnodered whether i needed to buy the macbook pro 15 inch with the quad core proicessor, will this be significantly faster and run the software logic pro9/pro tools8 better...please help me???
Thanks alot
Ben

It would run it, but you'd do a lot better with the 15" i7 model
If you buy the RAM upgrade from OWC it would save you some cash to put towards the better spec machine ...

If I were to get 1GB of RAM...?

...what is the most i could do without the machine slowing down considerably...i hear lots of people on the thread say "if you can afford it, go ahead and get the 2GB" just wondering how big of a difference there really is.
Also i need help deciding on the HD size too. right now i have an 80GB on my ibook and it only has about 1GB left. thats why i am upgrading.

The more RAM you have, the less the system has to rely on the HD to cache information out to disk.
"what is the most i could do without the machine slowing down considerably"
Really depends on what you were doing and how big were the files you were working with. For example, if working in Photoshop, with 1GB RAM, you might be able to have open ten 15 MB .jpg images. If you had 2GB RAM, you'd be able to have thirty 10 MB .jpg images..
You see, there's no single answer or any way that someone could answer, other than saying you'd be able to do more with 2GB than you could with 1GB.
