  • Will Installing more RAM improve performanc​e, IF laptop has "available memory" not being used?

    My laptop has 2x 1GB of RAM.
    Right now, and usually, The Physical Memory shown in Task Manager, shows that there is "available memory" (currently it's 500megs worth). (And "system cache" says 300megs.)
    There is also, right now, 2.5GB of page filing being used.
    If I were to replace the 2GB of RAM with 4GB (of the same Mhz), would there be a noticable increase in performance?
    (windows XP 32bit OS)

    A matched set of DDR2 ram will perform a lot faster one memory not matched. Its required for the double data rate to work. Hence 2+2 is the max you'd need/want in a 32bit machine. Windows 7 was built for large memory footprints. XP was built to run just barely in 64MB but really needed a min of 128MB to support a network connection and printing. It was never enable to truely go a whole lot further than a few machines built capable of 1GB. There was even a bug which was patch causing problems if a !GB or more was available. Just because it can see it does not mean it actually uses it !! The kernal by default is swapped in/out of ram even in larger memory systems. Why, it was is not aware of the extra memory and does not change its behavour from a 512MB machine.
    As for the 1333Mhz ram the timing may be faster than the other memory used. Hence it flow the data faster on the bus. Fewer delays in various cycles including the RAS/CAS etc but thats all under the hood so to speak.

  • Thrown validation exception not being showed in jspx page

    Hi,
    I have a page with af:table which uses one view object.That view object is using one entity object. In one of the method of the EntityImpl class of my entity object i throw ValidationException.I debugged the application and i saw that it is throwing the exception.But it is not being shown in the page. What might be wrong here?
    try{
    setAttributeInternal(BANKTYPE, value);
    catch(TooManyObjectsException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    throw new ValidationException ("You are trying to add existing record");
    My jspx page is having *<af:messages id="m1"/>*
    Does the jspx page need any configuration to show the thrown exception in a popup?
    Regards,

    Hi vinod,
    I tried it and it worked.Thanks a lot :). Can you please tell me why it was not happening with the ValidationException?

  • Text memory not being cleared after SAVE_TEXT

    Hi ,
    I am using SAVE_TEXT function module ( along with SAVE_MODE_DIRECT = 'X')  to write some data into the text elements of a Sales order during creation. This activity is being done in the SAVE_DOCUMENT method.
    The problem is that once the text is saved to the sales order and I attempt to create a new SALES_ORDER using VA01, the old value ( from the already saved order) appears in the text elements.
    I tried using FREE MEMORY ID ,but the same did not work.
    Any thoughts on how I can flush the memory text.
    Thanks,
    Jasmit
    <removed by moderator>
    Edited by: Thomas Zloch on Jan 15, 2012 9:40 PM

    Hi All,
    I tried with refreshing the table, using the SAVE_MODE_DIRECT ='X' and blank, but the issue still persists.
    I was under assumption that SAP might be clearing the text memory before every new transaction and then initiating the text determination procedure. However, this does not looks like the case..
    Any thoughts on alternate solutions.

  • X99s SLI Plus isssue - quad channel memory not being recognzied

    I have 8x8 for a total 32 GB of the following memory:
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233696
    When I have sticks in 1,3 5, and 7 it shows up as quad channel.
    When I fill all slots, it does not. 
    It shows all 32 GB but not quad channel.  I'm not sure if I missed that the board does not support this or what.
    Right now I am running the 162 BIOS.  Had the same issue with 150.

    Quote from: Nichrome on 13-January-15, 19:33:23
    You're not really meant to use 2 separate kits of RAM. It's because since Z77 series, Intel chips started to go funny about mixing RAM, and the further it goes (Z87, Z97) the less people get successful with using 2 kits. So I really suggest you replace these with a single kit and see if it works then. Or speak to local PC shop/IT services and ask them to test the board.
    That seems a little absurd considering they are the exact same memory in both 16 GB sets, and I can interchange every single RAM module from one set in with the other and it works perfectly fine. T His sounds more like a BIOS/Motherboard limitation than a memory limitation.  What's the point of having eight RAM slots if you cannot put 8 sticks of identical ram in it and get Quad channel? 
    On a side now I have upped it to 4.2 Ghz running at 1.18v for 8 hours now on Prime95, highest temp was 62C and the Bus at 125, memory in quad with just 4 sticks in 1,2,5,6 running at 3000 Mhz.

  • Applets and memory not being released by Java Plug-in

    Hi.
    I am experiencing a strange memory-management behavior of the Java Plug-in with Java Applets. The Java Plug-in seems not to release memory allocated for non-static member variables of the applet-derived class upon destroy() of the applet itself.
    I have built a simple "TestMemory" applet, which allocates a 55-megabytes byte array upon init(). The byte array is a non-static member of the applet-derived class. With the standard Java Plug In configuration (64 MB of max JVM heap space), this applet executes correctly the first time, but it throws an OutOfMemoryException when pressing the "Reload / Refresh" browser button or if pressing the "Back" and then the "Forward" browser buttons. In my opionion, this is not an expected behavior. When the applet is destroyed, the non-static byte array member should be automatically invalidated and recollected. Isn't it?
    Here is the complete applet code:
    // ===================================================
    import java.awt.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class TestMemory extends JApplet
      private JLabel label = null;
      private byte[] testArray = null;
      // Construct the applet
      public TestMemory()
      // Initialize the applet
      public void init()
        try
          // Initialize the applet's GUI
          guiInit();
          // Instantiate a 55 MB array
          // WARNING: with the standard Java Plug-in configuration (i.e., 64 MB of
          // max JVM heap space) the following line of code runs fine the FIRST time the
          // applet is executed. Then, if I press the "Back" button on the web browser,
          // then press "Forward", an OutOfMemoryException is thrown. The same result
          // is obtained by pressing the "Reload / Refresh" browser button.
          // NOTE: the OutOfMemoryException is not thrown if I add "testArray = null;"
          // to the destroy() applet method.
          testArray = new byte[55 * 1024 * 1024];
          // Do something on the array...
          for (int i = 0; i < testArray.length; i++)
            testArray[i] = 1;
          System.out.println("Test Array Initialized!");
        catch (Exception e)
          e.printStackTrace();
      // Component initialization
      private void guiInit() throws Exception
        setSize(new Dimension(400, 300));
        getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());
        label = new JLabel("Test Memory Applet");
        getContentPane().add(label, BorderLayout.CENTER);
      // Start the applet
      public void start()
        // Do nothing
      // Stop the applet
      public void stop()
        // Do nothing
      // Destroy the applet
      public void destroy()
        // If the line below is uncommented, the OutOfMemoryException is NOT thrown
        // testArray = null;
      //Get Applet information
      public String getAppletInfo()
        return "Test Memory Applet";
    // ===================================================Everything works fine if I set the byte array to "null" upon destroy(), but does this mean that I have to manually set to null all applet's member variables upon destroy()? I believe this should not be a requirement for non-static members...
    I am able to reproduce this problem on the following PC configurations:
    * Windows XP, both JRE v1.6.0 and JRE v1.5.0_11, both with MSIE and with Firefox
    * Linux (Sun Java Desktop), JRE v1.6.0, Mozilla browser
    * Mac OS X v10.4, JRE v1.5.0_06, Safari browser
    Your comments would be really appreciated.
    Thank you in advance for your feedback.
    Regards,
    Marco.

    Hi Marco,
    my guess as to why JPI would keep references around, if it does keep them, is that it propably is an implementation side effect. A lot of things are cached in the name of performance and it is easy to leave things laying around in your cache. Maybe the page with the associated images/applets is kept in the browser cache untill the browser needs some memory and if the browser memory manager is not co-operating with the JPI/JVM memory manager the browser is not out of memory, thus not releasing its caches but the JVM may be out of memory. Thus the browser indirectly keeps the reference that it realy does not need. This reference could be inderect through some 'applet context' or what ever the browser uses to interact with JPI, don't realy know any of these details, just imaging what must/could be going on there. Browser are amazingly complicated beast.
    This behaviour that you are observing, weather the origin is something like I speculated or not, is not nice but I would not expect it to be fixed even if you filed a bug report. I guess we are left with relleasing all significatn memory structures in destroy. A simple way to code this is not to store anything in the member fields of the applet but in a separate class; then one has to do is to null that one reference from the applet to that class in the destroy method and everything will be relased when necessary. This way it is not easy to forget to release things.
    Hey, here is a simple, imaginary, way in which the browser could cause this problem:
    The browser, of course needs a reference to the applet, call it m_Applet here. Presume the following helper function:
    Applet instantiateAndInit(Class appletClass) {
    Applet applet=appletClass.newInstance();
    applet.init();
    return applet;
    When the browser sees the applet tag it instantiates and inits the new applet as follows:
    m_Applet=instantiateAndInit(appletClass);
    As you can readily see, the second time the instantiation occurs, the m_Applet holds the reference to the old applet until after the new instance is created and initlized. This would not cause a memory leak but would require that twice the memory needed by the applet would be required to prevent OutOfMemory.I guess it is not fair to call this sort of thing a bug but it is questionable design.In real life this is propably not this blatant, but could happen You could try, if you like, by allocating less than 32 Megs in your init. If you then do not run out of memory it is an indication that there are at most two instances of your applet around and thus it could well be someting like I've speculated here.

  • New photo not being showing up for book selection

    I wanted to add a photo to my book. I put it in my iPhoto file with all the photos I am putting into my book. When I go to the book, the new photo is not showing up with the other photos for me to select it. Anybody know why?
    Thanks!
    PM

    I put it in my iPhoto file
    How exactly are you doing that? If you are doing it in Finder, don't.
    Import the photo into iPhoto as you would normally import your photos. Then, just drag it into the ''Book" folder that is listed in the source pane on the left. You will then see it in the row of photos when you open that book file.

  • Online radio, stations no, Online radio, stations list not being showed sometimes

    Sometimes, and when I say sometimes i mean frequently, when I select some radio categories, like for example adult contemporary or Hard Rock, or any other listed radio category, the screen turns black and there is only the category name in the upper right corner, nor radio stations neither any logo is showed.
    Does anyone has a clue on what the problem might be? My first guess was connectivity, but everything else seems to work fine (for example, I can watch YouTube videos right after the problem happens).
    Thanks,

    Look at the following tread, you're not alone. Quite a few people are having this problem. NO solution from Apple yet.

  • TI-4200VTD8X memory not being correctly read

    When I go to the display properties in the control panel it says my video card only has 32 mbs of ram when it really has 128mbs.  However games like wolfenstein seem to run fine, should I worry?

    comstocki,
    You are using the MSI Drivers form your CD. Some CDs shipped with MSI drivers that reported all the Vid Cards as having 32Mb. It is onlly a display issue in that info tab. It does not affect the performance of the card in any way. If you want it to read correctly, just download the Drivers from the MSI Website or go get the nVidia Drivers from the nVidia Website.
    Take Care,
    Richard
    P.S. If you had done a search of this forum, you would have found this issue had been discussed to death a few months back.

  • My "iPod Classic (60GB) Click Wheel" is not being recognised in iTunes although the iPod shows up in 'my computer'.

    My iPod Classic (60GB) Clickwheel is not being recognised in iTunes although the iPod shows in 'My Computer'.  The problem started with an error message in iTunes saying "Could not complete sync as devise may have become corrupt" and suggested I restore the iPod to factory settings which I have done several times.  I've carried out an error check in the iPod properties.  I've completely removed iTunes and all related software components in the correct order and reinstalled version 10.5.3. I have been through the 5 R's numerous times but still the iPod is not being recognised in iTunes. I have Windows XP, I'm tearing my hair out now so any help or suggestions would be great

    Try and force iPod into Recovery Mode:
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
    3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
    5. Release the Home button
    6. Open iTune
    7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
    8. Use iTune to restore iPod
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

  • My new macbook pro is giving me hardtime. even apple team is not being to solve it. they replace the motherboard first it didn't work. second time they formatted the computer and that also didn't work. every time my mac showing different problems.

    my new macbook pro is giving me hardtime. even apple team is not being to solve it. they replace the motherboard first it didn't work. second time they formatted the computer and that also didn't work. every time my mac showing different problems.
    At first my computer had issues. Once it go to sleep it will not back again. I dropped my laptop at apple store to fix it. After 10  days they returned my laptop saying they were no able to fix the problem so they replaced motherboard aiming if that might help. Acttually that didn't help.I had same issue again. I visited apple store again. This time they said they could fix, if I will allow them to format the harddrive. I said ok. They formatted it. It was working fine for few daysAfter few days compter is taking.even more than 15 min to shutdown. Now computer has another problem. It is being hang frequently like every 20'to.30 min.
    I don't know what to do? I still have one month left on first year warranty. I have requested couple times to apple associates either to fix or replace or refund. They are showing me rude behavior. They are not understanding my situation. I am a student. I need to do lot of home work. Since last three month my mac book and apple associates giving me hard time. Any suggestions are welcome.

    Contact Apple Customer Care - not Apple Care - Customer Support. Have your receipts handy and/or case numbers. Be patient, be calm, and tell your story just as you have here. I get the sense you are not in the US and don't have access to an Apple Store but are going to an independent shop. This makes using Customer Support all the more important. If phoning isn't viable, use registered mail.
    Since time is running short, be prepared to purchase AppleCare to exennd your warranty 2 more years. Yes, you shouldn't have to do this, but it gives you added protection and more opportunities over the next 2 years to claim a replacement computer if you don't get one immediately. After dealing with a similar unhappy situation with a Mac in the late 1990s I finally got a replacement computer and reimbursed for the AppleCare policy.

    I have a iMac, Yosemite 10.10 and my toshiba external hard drive is not being recognized, except when I eject it!. I have the preferences checked to show icons and have looked in the utilities folder..nothing. I have also changed ports. ??

    A few things to try:
    1-Repair permissions and restart your computer.
    2-Zap the PRAM
    3-Use Software Update/App Store to update your OS to OS 10.10.3.  Also, update everything SU/AS has to offer for your computer.  When done, repair permissions and restart your computer.
