64GB+ RAM support: OS X v10.8.2 Supplemental Update 1.0
OS X v10.8.2 Supplemental Update 1.0, a minor software update bringing a handful of fixes to the latest version of OS X Mountain Lion.
The OS X v10.8.2 Supplemental Update is recommended for all users running OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 and includes the following fixes:
- Resolves an issue that may cause certain Japanese characters to appear incorrectly in Mail
- Allows Safari to access secure sites when parental controls are enabled
- Addresses an issue that may prevent systems with more than 64 GB of RAM from starting up
Not on http://support.apple.com/downloads/ yet.
The supplemental update did address the 'slow' Time Machine backups under 10.7.5 - if this is your first backup, and depending on how much data you are backing up, I would guess that it could take 6-9 hours, but certainly not 2 (or 99) days. If it seems that the backup is 'hung' just stop it, reformat the external drive, and try again. For some great Time Machine troubleshooting tips, see http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html.
Good luck,
Clinton

V10.8.5 Supplemental Update 1.0 froze after reboot
While running OS X 10.8.5 I installed the "OS X v10.8.5 Supplemental Update 1.0" from the Software Update menu, and the initial install process succeeded, and then prompted me to restart the machine as expected.
I clicked restart and then during the start-up process, a dialog "Installing Software Update…" appeared, got to about 80% progress and then froze with "Less than a minute" to go:
I waited about 20 minutes for something to happen, but nothing moved at all.
So then I forced a restart by holding down the power button, and the machine rebooted and everything appeared normal.
But I was worried that the update had not installed correctly, so I downloaded the combo update for "OS X v10.8.5 Supplemental Update 1.0" from Apple and re-installed it. Again, the initial install process succeeded and prompted me to restart. However this time, no additional install dialog appeared during the startup process.
After the startup, things appeared normal, except there was no OS X menu bar at first - it wasn't until I clicked an app in the Dock that the OS X menu bar suddenly appeared (I don't know if that's significant or related).
I rebooted the machine once more, and everything seems completely normal now. Software Update is not prompting me to install the supplemental update again (says there's nothing to install).
Any idea what happened? What is the purpose of the "Installing Software Update" process that runs after startup? And what is the significance and likely impact of it freezing at 80% and not completing?The supplemental update did address the 'slow' Time Machine backups under 10.7.5 - if this is your first backup, and depending on how much data you are backing up, I would guess that it could take 6-9 hours, but certainly not 2 (or 99) days.

Mac OS X v10.7.5 Supplemental Update 1.0
I installed Mac OS X v10.7.5 Supplemental Update 1.0 a few days ago, which said (amongst other things) that it was to improve TimeMachine Backup times... yet, previously it was estimated to complete in 2 days, yet since the install the estimate is now 99 days...
Not sure that it is a great improvement (although this is an initial sync)The supplemental update did address the 'slow' Time Machine backups under 10.7.5 - if this is your first backup, and depending on how much data you are backing up, I would guess that it could take 6-9 hours, but certainly not 2 (or 99) days.

The product documentation for the MSI Z87 Motherboards list 64GB as the maximum.
Has anyone tried it? Intel and all other Z87-based boards list 32GB as the maximum.

I want build 64gb workstation to work (video, 3d symulation etc) and have question which memory i need to buy becouse i read someone have problems to see all 64gb.
I look at MSI RAM support and find 2 cheap options:
DDR3 16 GB 2x8GB 1333 MHZ CL9 DUAL EVO CORSA GEIL [GOC316GB1333C9DC]
Patriot G2 Series 2x8GB 1333MHz DDR3 CL9 XMP Ready, 1.5V [PGD316G1333ELK]
When i put 4x this memory to have 64 will be work fine ?The main problem here is not the mainboard.
It's the processor.
For both Core i7-3930K and i7-3960K:
Max Memory Size (dependent on memory type): 64 GB
Memory Types: DDR3-1066/1333/1600
Max Memory Bandwidth: 51.2 GB/s -
Mac Pro (Late 2013) - 64GB RAM Upgrade
Anyone have any recomendations on third party brand for a 64GB RAM upgrade.
Apple RAM costs approx £1000 GBP whereas Crucial is approx £645 GBP, OWC is similar to crucial if I import from the US but I'm not sure if their ram are Registered or unbuffered.
The above is all cost based - should i be considering other factors such as performance and reliability?
Also when moving to Registered DIMMs i understand that the presence of the Registered DIMM controller on the DIMMs consumes one clock cycle is this a significant hit in performace over Unbuffered DIMMs?Grant Bennet-Alder wrote:

I don't think so. Take a look at these DIMMs for reference (this Vendor show the specs of exactly what modules will be shipped to you). Even the 16GB DIMMs, while Registered, are still showing they perform at CL9 level (9 clocks to access) -- the same as unbuffered.

Just thought i would update you. I spoke to DMS Technical Support and apparently that DMS CL9 Rating is a typo. It should be CL13! -
64GB RAM in two stages, any issues?
Hello,
I am building a desktop and need your valuable help. The motherboard and CPU I will buy support 64GB RAM, I am thinking to put 32GB (4x 8GB kit) at the beginning and sometime in 2013 add 32 GB more, using the same kit brand/model. Is there any issues doing it? I have read some comments saying that it might cause problems and using RAM from different kits (even with the same brand/model) is not advisable.
My CPU: i7-3930k
I have not decided yet which motherboard, but it will be one of these:
ASUS X79 PRO
or
GIGABYTE X79-UD5
I really appreciate your comments, suggestions or experience on this,
William GonzalesMemory manufacturers should be able to track parts in a batch based on the S/N information that includes the batch info. What you do is buy the first 4 ie 1 set with 4x8 and then call the manufacturer when your ready to buy the 2nd set and verify current production will work with it. If they verify it will then hopefully when you buy the 2nd, it will be relatively new stock that will be out of the current batches. This is not bullet proof but it will help often times. If that memory manufacturer sells direct to end users then that normally eliminates the problems or their willing to trade in the original 4 sticks for 8 of the current batch. However the best way is as Harm mentions.

Hi,
I'm looking to build a compact server for virtualization and that's how i came across the MSI X79MA board. It's the only board I can find that supports 64GB RAM. However, I havn't found any place where I can get 16GB Unbuffered RAM sticks. So my questoin is, does that even exist?I'm not here to get into any argument one way or the other about it but simply to post this info, from the manual for the X79MA-GD45:

Supports Quad-Channel mode, one DIMM per channel
This is from the specs page MSI website:
Main Memory
• Supports four unbuffered DIMM of 1.5 Volt DDR3 1066/1333/1600/1800*/2133*/2400* (OC) DRAM, 64GB Max

The DVD drives in MacBook and MacBook Pro (usually Panasonic/Matshita or LG, Googling around found those were the only brands shipped with MacBooks) support DVD-RAM media. However, it seems Apple decided to use "special" firmware that basically cripples the drive and disables DVD-RAM support. Well, at least write support (my MacBooks read DVD-RAM OK).
Is there any way to re-enable writing on DVD-RAM in MacBooks? Some non-offical firmware or something, anything?
I found some firmwares for old PowerBook G4 laptops that re-enables DVD-RAM support. But nothing for current MacBooks.The DVD-RAM and UDF support in Mac OS X is good. It's been around for a long time too, since Mac OS 8.something. I've just copied over about 40 gigs of data from my DVD-RAMs I used for backup on the PC onto my MacBook (as I said, they forgot to disable reading from DVD-RAM, hoooray). It's just the hardware that's intentionally crippled. I could connect my external LG DVD drive (which supports all formats, including DVD-RAM) and use it to write files onto DVD-RAM media.
However, I don't see any reason why would I need to use external drive when internal drive in my MacBook is perfectly capable of doing it (if it wasn't for Apple that decided to flash it with their own firmware which disables the writes on DVD-RAM media).
If it was a desktop system, I probably wouldn't be complaining much. I'd just use my external LG drive. But it's laptop, and hauling external DVD drive around just because some manager decided users should not use DVD-RAM is not really an option...
If anybody from Apple is reading this, could you guys please with sugar on top re-enable DVD-RAM support in drive's firmware? It would be much appreciated. Thanks. -
DVD-RAM support for iMac (late 2006)
Hello,
according to the thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4755862
I have a iMac C2D 2,16GHZ and a Pioneer DVR-K06 DVD Drive
According the pioneer specifications this drive supports DVD-RAM read and write.
( http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/vgn/images/portal/cit3424/310207082POVDVR-K06.pdf )
But it isn't possible. Why? DVD-RAM is ideal to backup data. It can be rewritten over 100,000 times (DVD±RW approx. 1,000 times)
It is possible that Apple supply a firmware update that allows to read and burn DVD-RAM?

Several of my TV's DVD Recorder features are not available with the use of a regular DVD disc and require a DVD RAM disc (chapters, etc.) So I decided to do some experimenting and cross checking of the DVD Recorder and my computer DVD-RAM supported DVD burner/Premiere Elements with regard to disc types for DVD-VIDEO. That is what got us to my question.
Several months ago, I got involved in someone else's issue where he could not rip content from a DVD disc which had its origins in a camcorder that recorded to either a DVD-R or DVD-RAM disc. I suspect that my mini test ran into similar issues, that is, DVD-R with the recording format of DVD-VIDEO and DVD-RAM with the recording format of VR. (I added this explanation to clean up my previous misspoken comment about DVD-VIDEO format having a different folder/file structure depending on whether a DVD-R or DVD RAM was involved.) -
Oracle database maximum CPU & RAM support
Ok, I've hunted high and low on oracle.com, OTN and the newsgroups before I came here so please bear me on this very basic question.
As a consultant, I've been asked a number of times by customers:
1. What is the maximum number of CPUs an Oracle 8i/9i database STANDARD edition supports?
2. Is the number the same for Unix and NT?
3. What is the maximum amount of RAM supported by the STANDARD edition database?
4. Again, is it the same for Unix and NT?
Sorry if this is very basic stuff but strangely, after having been an Oracle user for 7 years, I never knew this info.
joe.I don't think the previous response caught the Standard Edition part of your question.
1. What is the maximum number of CPUs an Oracle 8i/9i database STANDARD edition supports?4 processors is tha max for Standard Edition, to support more you need Enterprise Edition.
2. Is the number the same for Unix and NT?Yes
3. What is the maximum amount of RAM supported by the STANDARD edition database?
4. Again, is it the same for Unix and NT?I don't know of a max but that doesn't mean there isn't one.
Standard Edition also doesn't have the advanced replication, VLDB, parallel processing and OLAP features that Enterprise Edition has,
along with some other things.
Hope this helps. -
I just got the p7n diamond yesterday and I've been having some problems with 2x2gb sticks of gskill ram.
One stick runs fine, and I can usually get two sticks to post but they crash windows pretty badly. Think MSI will provide support for these guys in a bios update or am I stuck?

2x2gb gskill pc8000 (only one stick working.)Alright, I unlinked my fsb/ram and am running 333 fsb right now and 900mhz ram.
I set up the default timings in the ram section 5 5 5 15.
ram is running at 1.95v right now and i just notched the nb voltage up by one. This bios doesn't make any damn sense to me but it's at 0.01250 whatever that correlates to in the real world.
running stable right now, gotta do some more testing obviously but I have a lot of tweaking to do in general. I guess running auto the voltage was at 1.90 but I'm not really sure because it wasn't telling me, running it at 2.0 and 2.1 and even 2.2 didn't help at all, but that little bump did the trick at 1.95.
now I need to test if I can get it up to 1000mhz. I'd also like to relink it with fsb for an overclock... want to run this e8400 at 4.0 ghz for awhile and see if it can handle it, but that's gonna come much later... I'll try to post any results I find later. -
I am looking to upgrade my macbook pro 13". I have a new logic board and have searched for the spec on this i.e. hdd size and ram. will my 2009 screen work with an updated graphics card ??
Sounds just like what was happening with my Alum MB. I took it in and they replaced my battery. It seems to be ok now. I don't know what it is, but my battery was fine before 10.5.6 and the same timeframe of the firmware updates when they came out.
My battery health was jumping around but was fine before all of this happened. Unfortunately at 381 cycles I don't think you have much chance of getting the battery for free. Perhaps you can complain about the battery saying it was fine until 10.5.6 or whatever.
