Can the iMac G5 take advantage of CAS2 or 2.5 RAM?

Can the iMac G5 take advantage of CAS2 or 2.5 RAM? I know it comes with CAS3 RAM.
THANKS

rob_ART:
i I've run some tests on a Power Mac with mixed results. In most recent tests, I saw an 8% advantage running the RAM preview render in Motion 2 with CAS 2 memory vs CAS 3.
It's possible to to it any number of ways. Some memory controllers will dumb it down and select one conservative CL value timing and stick with it. Others could bump it up.
It's unlikely to be that critical. A .5 cycle advantage wouldn't be that noticeable to most people, but some gamers insist on extracting every last bit of performance from their memory.

    As the others have said, this is a really chancey thing to do...there have been several users on here during the past few weeks with questions about using out-of-spec ram...most had trouble with it.  Macs will sometimes accept higher spec memory, sometimes they will not.  Corsair has been getting some very good comments lately but that is from those using in-spec memory.
    Best solution is the correct memory.  And as noonday recommended, Crucial and OWC are very good and stock the correct ram.

  • How much sdram can the iMac 2007 20" dual core 2.4gHz take?

    How much sdram can the iMac 2007 20" dual core 2.4gHz take?

    Not SDRAM but SO-DIMM.
    The max RAM is offically, 4 GB (two 2GB PC2-5300 667MHz DDR2 SO-DIMM) module but, with larger modules released after that model's specs were written, you can achieve 6GB with one 2GB plus one 4GB module.
    You must get the 4GB from a Mac Savvy vendor or it won't work. OWC has the larger modules that are well-tested in Macs:

  • Can PS CS 6 take advantage of a high RAM system

    Hi. I am thinking of investing in a workstation desktop built from oem components (since the components are quite cheap now). I have confgured a system on paper that has:
    Core i7.
    Dual NVIDIA video cards
    32 GB of DDR3
    Win 7 64 bit
    There is a lot of discussion on some computer building forums as to whether programs like CS 6 can take advantage of such large amounts of RAM. I myself have 8 GB of RAM on a Mac and notice that the kinds of images that I open cause CS6 to max out on whatever RAM it can take up (causing it to use swap space), causing operations like nudge and healing to take some time. Can CS6 take advantage of such vast amounts of memory and also the dual NVIDIA cards with Open CL?

    >> and also the dual NVIDIA cards with Open CL?
    2 cards, no, due to driver issues.
    SLI/multicard connections - no, those are intended for gaming acceleration only.
    A single card with multiple GPUs, yes.

  • Can the iMac G5 supports TWO USB 7-port Hubs??

    Hi all, call me greedy but belive it or not, I am running out of USB ports!!
    I have a Belkin 7-port USB 2.0 Powered Hub (with 2 ports pointing upbright) which serves me very well, but I am running out of ports, now that I am considering getting the new iPod nano.
    Anyway, there are 3 ports behind the screen, now I have my Mighty Mouse, the Hub's USB cable and a HK Soundsticks attached.
    I am thinking of getting another similar 7-port Hub, they are actually stackable, but of course I won't use all 7 ports fully on the 2nd new one.
    Can the iMac supports and substain 2 USB hubs?? I have actually never seen anyone with more than 1 hub??
    Thanks and cheers

    I have two USB hubs attached to my iMac G5 - they are both self-powered (their own power supply); one is a USB 2 with 6 ports and a multi card reader built in and the other my old USB 1 with 4 ports. They are plugged into the rear of my iMac along with the printer. Everything else, including keyboard and mouse, are plugged into the hubs and I am using a total of 8 ports - and everything works. I don't know if that would change if they weren't self powered.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can the imac core duo support dual band wifi?

    I have a core duo 2GHz iMac intel. Can the imac core duo support dual band wifi?

    Do you mean will your iMac work with a router that supports dual band? If  this is correct, the answer is yes. If that isn't what you intended please look at the system specification for your machine. You can find that by clicking Support - Tech Specs

  • Can the iMac dvd drive read or accept mini-dvds/cds? thanks

    Can the iMac dvd drive read or accept minid-dvds/cds? Thanks

    Don't even attempt it. It won't work, and the disk will just get stuck in the drive's mechanism. If you want to use mini-disks, you'll need an external tray-loading optical drive.

  • Can the imac be an external monitor fr another system?

    Hi, I am wonddering if the monitor portion of the imac can be used on a separate system. I am hoping to use it as an additional monitor for my laptop. This ould not be it's sole use but I would like to be able to do it occasionally. Is this possible?
    Kalel

    No, it does not have a vga input.
    However,
    If its a windows laptop, and you are not doing that requires video playback.
    You can use windows remote desktop, which is similar to a vnc but gives you much better performance.
    for example, I have been able to use photoshop remotely with acceptable performance, Microsoft word is almost as quick as running in on the physical machine.
    The only things a vnc or remote desktop is not suitable for is video playback, games of course, intense graphics, and applications that make direct use of the audio hardware. (audio is redirected to the remote client)

  • Can the iMac 27" be a monitor for ps3?

    I am planning to use my imac as a monitor but i have to buy the Belkin AV360 but some says that i only need the mini Display port to HDMI because the iMac can already be used as a monitor by pressing command+F2. So, which is which? If i have to buy the Belkin, is there another way to do it or another cheaper product?

    Your computer supports 32 GB of RAM. You can buy the RAM in OWC to guarantee maximum performance with your computer.
    Respecting to the hard drive, you can install another hard drive on your Mac. To install it, follow the steps > http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing+iMac+Intel+27-Inch+EMC+2429+Hard+Drive/75 55/1

  • Can the iMac be used as a high def tv with a cable service

    Can an iMac be used as a HD tv? I was curious as to if I could use it for both home entertainment and personal and professional computer needs.

    Do a bit of research and asking around on AVS fourms.  If you use the Elgato products (which are great!) you can use your iMac as an HDTV but it is limited compared to a dedicated settop device.  For instance you will not have on demand and the such.
    Now if you want to I think you can input the HDMI out from a setup box to the minidisplay port.  You will have to find another solution for sound.  Those with more experience can chime in.

  • How much pressure can the macbook screen take??????

    i have just bought a macbook pro retina late 2013. I was wondering how much pressure can the screen take???????

    You said you verified a very close (hopefully with a magnifier) look with varying background colors at the point of impact that there was no color variation as indicative of a hairline crack.
    So, AFTER the impact, the white line has appeared 3 times since?
    If that is the case you have a hairline crack that you missed upon close inspection or actual, but rare, LCD damaged that didnt manifest an actual crack.
    in which case make appt. with Apple on your display. If there IS a crack you missed at inspection or genuine LCD damage, there is no way to fix that, the display would have to be replaced.

  • Can the iMac 24 display support 2 inputs i.e. can I conncet my Mini?

    My PC is getting old and I'm thinking of switching to an iMac 24". I also have a PowerPC base mini currently shares the display with my Dell using a digital KVM. Is it possible to connect my Mini directly to the iMac 24 and switch the display between the 2 computers?
    thanks.

    As there is no video input on the iMac, you cannot use the iMac as a display for the mini, but check out the program Steve mentions. I use Microsoft's Remote Desktop to control my PCs from my Mac and CotVNC is supposed to be even better.

  • Can the IMAC use an extended monitor?

    I have the old Imac G4, a fantastic computer, but the screen has driven my old eyes crazy. I'm looking at getting a nice new Intel Imac and was wondering if it has the capacity to extend the screen to a second monitor? I know the original Imac could not do this. Will the new Imac have this capability.
    Thanks in advance, you guys have saved my life on more than one occassion.

    Yes, the Intel iMacs are the first iMacs to be able to support a seond monitor in both mirror and extended desktop mode.
    According to the tech specs found HERE (look in the middle column under "Graphics and Video) and you will see that the iMacs have -
    "Support for external display in extended desktop
    * Digital resolutions up to 1920 x 1200
    * Analog resolutions up to 2048 x 1536
    Support for external display in video mirroring mode"

  • Can G4 PowerMac MDD take advantage of SATA II hard drive speed?

    A PowerMac G4 MDD has 33Mhz PCI slots and a 167Mhz bus -- correct? Can this architecture take full advantage of a PCI SATA II controller card (if it exists for a Mac) and a connected SATA II hard drive w. 16mb cache operating at 3Gb/s? Or even a 1.5Gb/s SATA I drive? Thanks.

    Hi-
    Or am I trying to cram a V8 Hemi engine into my Mini Cooper, but just hooking it up to my 4-spark plug ignition system to run it on four cylinders?
    Aw, you outa get at least 6 cylinders worth out of it...and it will be one mean Mini C!
    The SATA won't run at it's potential, there is no doubt. But, you will see performance increases over the ATA drives, this is for sure..
    In my Sawtooth, after I installed the SATA drives, the speed increase was palpable. The SATA drives have better performance characteristics than ATA, and even without full data transfer rates, the increase in bandwidth, the speed of the drives, and the increase in cache definitely help performance.
    As for the question of SATA vs. SATA II, SATA II drives are all backward compatible to earlier SATA standard, so there is no reason to "limit" yourself to early SATA. Most all controllers are SATA II standard, and the SATA II drives are the latest in technology, and give the greatest benefit.
    I would recommend the Firmtek Seritek line of controllers. Bootable, and reliable.
