About cheap memory configuration.

i need to know the default or in other words the right configuration of timings for a cheap memory module such as Markvision 512Mb ddr 400Mhz in a mobo such as k7n2 delta2 LSR.
Also i'm having a strange behavior in the ps2 mouse port with an optical mouse, every time i soft reboot the mouse won't work, if i soft reboot again voila! the mouse is back, but if i doit again the mouse dissapears. I'm using right now an old ps2 genius non optical and it works like charm. any ideas?

Well I'm using a 1 month old stick of Markvision 512mb PC3200 (400 DDR) ram.  This particular module has Vdata chips on it.  SPD (stock) timings are 2.5 (CAS), 3, 3, 8.  I run it at stock settings, including a FSB of 200 (400ddr)--as I'm using a Barton XP 3200+ that works at that FSB.  The Markvision memory works perfectly fine on my k7n2 delta2 LSR.  I ran Memtest86 for 24hrs, not 1 error.  And Prime95 for 1 day=perfectly stable.   Anyway, let the BIOS auto-detect the memory's SPD settings, and you should be good to go.

  • Question about nForce2 memory configuration

    Hi all,
    I am running an MSI K7N2-L board with memory running 256|empty|256 in dual mode.
    If I bought a stick of 512 and ran it 256|256|512, would it still run in dual mode?
    Thanks in advance

    if you have 2 sticks i think you put one in the separate slot and the other in one of the slots that are right next to each other (not sure on the colors at the moment) and if you have 3 sticks, 2 have to add up (MB wise) to the other one. (i.e. 2 256MB sticks and a 512MB stick) and you would put the 2 256MB sticks in the two slots right next to each other and the 512MB stick in the separate slot.  Thats what i think anyway, i could be wrong.  Its hard to explain, lol.

  • Memory Configuration & Upgrade Recommendations - 2006 Mac Pro

    Hello,
    It's been a long time since I have been posting here. Nice to see that everyone is still here. I have a memory configuration and upgrade I am now looking at. I'm also interested in how to use Bootcamp and install 64-bit Windows 7 when I have the EFI32. It appears that many of you build a new Windows 7 install DVD?
    Here is my current configuration:
    A1: 2GB
    A2: 2GB
    B1: 1GB
    B2: 1GB
    A3: 512 MB
    A4: 512 MB
    B3: 512 MB
    B4: 512 MB
    I'm interested in comparing the 4GB vs. 2GB modules and what are the best options for maxing out this Mac Pro. I have forensic software that uses Oracle that I want to put on Windows 7 or a 64-bit Windows server. The system requirements say 16-32GB in a 64-bit environment for Oracle.
    I also want to use CS4, Lightroom, Aperture, Capture One Pro, and FC HD on Snow Leopard.
    I would appreciate input on configuration and memory quantities for what appears to now be an ancient Mac Pro and how to use a 64-bit OS on Bootcamp.
    Thank you for your time and input!
    Michael

    2006: 4 memory chips is ideal. obviously that only takes you to 16GB max.
    2008: 8 memory chips (don't read about 2008 then!)
    I've seen people report their 4GB DIMMs run cooler, too, and heat is always an issue when it comes to FBDIMMs. They use a lot of power (watts) and one of the large sources of heat.
    What you have now, 2s and 1s and 512s don't get you to 16GB or above, and as I posted you can get to 20GB replacing 4 x 512s.
    I'd try with 4 x 4GB, which seems like you have to buy anyway, and see how heat and performance is. And only then consider adding back 2s and 1s to get to 20GB.
    in the end, I'd sell the RAM you have if it makes a difference.

  • About BIP Schedular configuration.

    HI all,
    I have following question on which need some information---
    I have some reports which are rendering in BIP using data from a database instance and my schedular is schema is installed in another database instance all together, i.e. database SID are different.
    1. So, can i schedule my report which are fetching data from one database and schedular schema on other database?
    2. Does Schedular table stores only metadata for trigering reports or it stores other reports specfic data or pointer of that sort?

  • SQL Server memory Configuration - SCOM 2012 R2

    Hi,
    The following article http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682077#BKMK_SupConfigSQLDBconfig states the following about SQL Server memory configuration for SCCM:
    When you use a database server that is co-located with the site server, limit the memory for SQL Server to 50 to 80 percent of the available addressable system memory.
    When you use a dedicated SQL Server, limit the memory for SQL Server to 80 to 90 percent of the available addressable system memory.
    The question is:
    Is there any advice (from technet articles) about SQL Server memory configuration for SCOM 2012 R2?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi There,
    Read the 5th point below
    General SQL Server recommendations for System Center 2012 R2
    This information describes general recommendations for SQL Server regardless of what System Center component you are deploying.
    You will need a minimum of four computers to deploy all System Center components. Aside from performance reasons, not all system components can coexist on the same computer. For more information, see Component
    Coexistence for System Center 2012 R2.
    For testing purposes only, one SQL Database Engine Services instance may be used for all components, but is not recommended in a production setting due to performance concerns.
    Reporting Services instances cannot be shared between System Center components.
    SQL_* collations are being deprecated for their Windows equivalents.
    Limit the memory of each SQL Server instance such that the Total Memory setting allows a minimum of 1 GB (2GB preferred) of free memory after all services are running.
    System Center components requiring the most disk resources are Service Manager, Operations Manager and Configuration Manager.
    Disks used should be formatted to a 64K allocation unit size.
    Disks used should be configured to allow 20% free space after all calculations for monitoring. Set growth upper limits to not exceed this space limit.
    Pre-sizing is preferred - use auto-grow if needed as it uses more resources.
    Set Pre-size to 8GB/2GB as a minimum. 20-30% of the database file size is a rule of thumb.
    Set Auto-grow to 500/100 as a minimum.

  • The disk configuration is not insync with the in-memory configuration. Software RAID 1 reactivation

    In trying to reactivate disk 3 of a raid mirror failed redundancy I get the error - The disk configurationis not insyncwith the in-memory configuration. The drive is accessible but I have no idea which of drive 2 and 3 are in use, drive 2 has unspecified

    Hi,
    Since the Disk 2's status is Errors, we could not reactivate disk 3. Please try to reactivate disk 2 to check the results.
    If the disk does not return to the Online status and the volume does not return to the Healthy status, there may be something wrong with the disk. You should replace the failed mirror disk region.

  • New to Oracle - could really use help with memory configuration

    I'm new to Oracle and am assuming the support role on a system that is using Oracle 8.1.7 as the database server and need help with memory configuration.
    The server is being used with FileNet and we're having issues while trying to purge logs (purge never completes) and the disk drive activity LED is on almost solid. My guess is is that it's not using enough/doesn't have enough memory therefore constantly reading off the disk and going too slow to finish the purge between nightly backups in which the database service is stopped.
    The server is running on Windows 2000 Server SP4, has 1G of RAM and is dual-Xeon processor.
    Any help or starting point references would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi ...
    You can use a StatsPack for guess the best distribution memory with your DB needs.

  • What about session memory when using BEA Weblogic connection pooling?

    Hi,
    consider a web application, allowing database connections via a BEA Weblogic 8.1 application server. The app-server is pooling the oracle connections. The oracle database is running in dedicated server mode.
    How are the database requests from the web app served by the connection pool from BEA?
    1) Does one oracle session serve more than one request simultanously?
    2) Does BEA serialize the requests, which means, that a session from the pool is always serving only one request at a time?
    If (1) is true, than what about the session memory of Oracle sessions? I understand, that things like package global variables are beeing stored in this session private memory. If (1) is true, the PL/SQL programmer has the same situation, as with programming an Oracle databas in "shared server" mode, that is, he should not use package global variables etc.
    Thankful for any ideas...

    Reading "Configuring and Using WebLogic JDBC" from weblogic8.1 documentation, I read:
    "... Your application "borrows" a connection from the pool, uses it, then returns it to the pool by closing it...."
    What do you mean by returning the connection by closing it? Tbe server will either return the connection to the pool or close it...When application code does typical jdbc code, it obtains
    a connection via a WebLogic DataSource, which reserves an
    unused pooled connection and passes it (transparently wrapped)
    to the application. The application uses it, and then closes
    it. WebLogic intercepts the close() call via the wrapper, and
    puts the DBMS connection back into the WebLogic pool.
    The reason, why I as an Oracle programmer ask this is, because every session (=connection)
    in Oracle has its own dedicate, private memory for things like global PL/SQL variables.
    Now I want to figure out, if you have to careful in programming your databases, when
    one Oracle session (=connection) is serving many weblogic requests.It is serving many requests, but always serially. Do note however, that we
    also transparently cache/pool prepared and callable statements with the
    connection so repeat uses of the connection will be able to get already-made
    statements when they call prepareStatement() and prepareCall(). These
    long-lived statements will each require a DBMS-side cursor.

  • Memory configurations

    I just threw in my 4 corsair 3200 256s when I built this system not realizing the complexity of which you can affect memory in these new systems. I have K8N Platinum Sli board and for the 1st few days had problems of one sort of another, then ran Memtest and prime which both showed serious memory problems which I isolated to one of the strips which I have removed and have sent back to the seller. I have 3 slips in now ans wasnt particular which slots they went in, but they are all together.
    I have begun to notice forums with people discussing memory configs and altering them to get the best or stable performance. I have then looked at my moboard manual on this subject and it says, '...DO NOT install three memory modules on three DIMMs, or it may cause  some failure.' Is it telling me not to do what I have done? I have ran my system like this for 3 days without problems apart from the system hanging a couple of times in the middle of or after I had finished playing PES4. The manual also says ' Always insert the memory modules into the GREEN slots first, and it is strongly recommended not to insert the memory modules into the PURPLE slots while the green are left empty.'
    Is this in all cases or just if you are running Dual-channel? Is it better to just fill the green slots and run 512 or carry on running 768?

    1.  You have not changed any bios settings from Optimized defaults, is that correct? 
    2.  You are running 4x256 corsair value ram (identical chips on each stick)?
    3.  You have not given us a "sig" with your system specs and you should do that now.  See Forum guide for how to create a profile with a sig.  CPU-Z first tab will give all your cpu info.
    4.  Have you cleared cmos and, if you have not, you should do it as described in the manual (being careful to unplug your power supply and waiting 5 minutes before opening your case, moving JBAT1 jumper, then replacing JBAT1 jumper, closing case, and reinserting power supply plug. AFTER you have cleared CMOS when you reboot for the first time you should hit "del", set optimized defaults, f10, yes to save, and then reboot normally.
    If that does not work, proceed to the next steps.
    5.  It would be helpful if you ran CPU-Z with 4 sticks and showed us what it says under SPD tab for each slot (they should all be identical but check- if they are not all identical then your sticks are not identical and that explains everything) and then what Memory tab shows. There are things that can be done if the SPD result does or does not match Memory result, but we need to see the results first.
    6.  Download memtest and use it to see if you have a bad stick.  Run it for about 30 minutes or until you have completed at least two complete rounds of tests.  If you get errors, test sticks two at a time in slots 1 and 2 to see if there is one particular stick that is failing.  It's a process of elimination, time consuming and a PITA, but nobody said perfection was easy.  Clear cmos carefully as described in the manual before each test.  If you think you have isolated a bad stick, test it by itself in slot 1. If you think slot 1 is bad, use a single stick for your memtest and see if that stick fails in slot 1 and passes in slot 3.  If you get errors in memtest note what test the errors appeared in.
    I will be checking back online in about 8 hours and in the meantime, if you post some results and answers here, maybe somebody else can help too.  Phew....  I am tired just thinking about all of that.  Good luck.

  • Memory configuration for C30

    Hi All!
    I was hoping someone would be able to help me.
    We are about to buy new machines which will mostly be used for CFD simulations using Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) which is run using MPICH.
    We are likely to get Lenovo C30 systems with 2 x Xeon E5-2650 v2's, this is the IT departments choice. I'm an engineer who will be using the system to run CFD models. However i have owned several Thinkpads in the past and found them great machines.
    I understand that the CPU is a key component that affects simulation speeds however memory also has a huge impact.
    Am I right in thinking that it would be better to provide 8 x 4 GB of memory (The CPUs have 4 memory channels each) rather than 2 x 16 GB? Most of the CFD models that are run will use from 2GB to 8GB of memory, with more than 20GB being a very rare event.
    I have spoken to Lenovo online and i got a repsonse that using less DIMM slots is actually quicker! This goes against my own knowledge of how it works and the other research i come accross.
    The C30 has 8 DIMM slots. I guess the general question is, to gain maximum memory speed you should populate all 8 DIMM slots with identical RAM? Anything less will not give the maximum memory speed.
    As CFD is very memory intensive this will have a knockon effect to CFD performance (run times). Is anyone able to suggest if the extra cost involved in 8x4GB will give a noticeable performance boost over using 2x16GB?
    I would really appreciate any help
    Regards,
    Matt
    Online conversation with Lenovo:
    Please wait while we connect you with a Lenovo Chat Representative.
    Connected to Harathi
    Harathi : Thank you for contacting Lenovo Sales Chat. My name is Harathi and my Rep ID is 2900711681. Happy to help you today. Hello, may I know your name please?
    You : Hi, my name is Matt
    You : I have a quite technical question
    Harathi : I will try to answer Matt
    Harathi : We have dedicated technical team for this
    You : We are about to buy some new machines which will mostly be used for Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations using the Fire Dynamics Simulator program. The simulations are very memory intensive and are normally run using MPICH. We are likely getting Lenovo C30 systems with 2 x Xeon E5-2650 v2's. I understand each Xeon processor has 4 memory channels and there are therefore 8 memory channels in total. Am I right in thinking that it would be better (higher performance) to provide 8 x 4 GB of memory rather than 2 x 16 GB? The key issue I see is that if you only use 2 of the DIMM slots then you are only maximising two of the memory channels. In that case the memory transfer will be limited. If you use all 8 DIMM slots you will use all the memory channels and maximise throughput. Therefore 8 x 4GB will have more transfer bandwidth than 2 x 16GB. I also realise that 8 x 4GB will be more expensive and will limit upgrade options in the future.
    You : Sorry, this tool doesn't like paragraphs.
    Harathi : Let me read
    Harathi : Have you customized C30?
    You : That is the question, when we buy the new machines will customising it with 8 x 4GB RAM modules give a performance boost compared to 2 x 16GB?
    Harathi : Let me check that for you.
    Harathi : Please give me few minutes
    You : Ok, no problem, thanks.
    Harathi : Thank you
    Harathi : Thank you for your time. 2 x 16GB will give better performance
    Harathi : May I know if you are customizing it now to order?
    You : Yes
    Harathi : Okay
    Harathi : I will be online while you place the order
    You : Why will 2 x 16GB give better performance? Can you explain a little?
    You : Why would not using all the 8 memory channels give better performance?
    Harathi : I will explain you
    Harathi : System will take some of the memory capacity from every RAM stick
    Harathi : This is just an approximate figure. When a 8GB RAM is added, the actual RAM you get will be 7.5GB or so, that way you'll loose more capacity of the RAM when you add more sticks.
    You : Ok, I can understand that. So 2x16GB will give you more total memory than 8x4GB.
    You : However, capacity is not the main concern. I am concerned with speed. I want the fastest memory to CPU transfer available.
    Matt, less # of memory sticks will give you more speed
    You : Ok, that's interesting. Thanks.
    Harathi : You are welcome

    By adding more DIMM, should you benefit from higher transfer rate of dual, triple or quad-channel?
    I rememberred reading somewhere that dual-channel (2x DIMM / CPU) will give you a big jump from single DIMM, while triple and quad config are only a tiny bit faster than 'dual'.
    The above information may need a confirmation from technician or more reseach regarding specific CPU though.
    If it were me, I might go with 2x8GB / CPU leaving room for future upgrade while complying with dual-channel config.
