Extremely slow imaging on HP DC7700 with 2GB of RAM

Hi
Hope you can help. I've got a dozen new HP DC7700's that we are
attempting to image with Zenworks 6.5 SP2 Hotpatch 4. We have about 20
different types of workstation in this environment and all of these
workstations image in approximately 6-8 minutes.
When we first received the HP DC7700 I had to make some mods to our
environment as discussed in the following topic ...
http://groups.google.com.au/group/no...bac07299d56ecd
.... and finally got the HP DC7700 (with 1GB of RAM) imaging (with
exactly the same image and similar size driver package) in 15 minutes
(i.e. about double our normal imaging time). Put that on the things to
do list to find out why the imaging time doubled but we could live with
that.
Then the other day we got some HP DC7700's delivered with 4 x 512MB
sticks of RAM and started the imaging process. Now it's ground to a
halt. It's taking approximately 3 hours to image the workstation. So
now I have to find a solution.
I've tested to make sure it's not a problem with the additional 1GB of
RAM by removing all the RAM and using the additional 1GB RAM as the
only RAM in the workstation. The workstation imaged in about 15 mins as
before. Put 2GB in the workstation and imaging slows down to a crawl
again.
Does anyone have any idea what is going wrong and where I should start
to look to fix the problem?
I am aware of the release of Zen 6.5 SP2 IR1 but would prefer not to
upgrade at this stage as we've just got everything working so well here
that I'd like to get some mileage out of it before upgrading and
possibly introducing some new issues.
Many thanks
Craig

I guess trying that as fast as possible is your only chance.. there will
only be ONE final patch for 6.5 and this is already in beta. If the problem
is really the ram and it could be fixed easily you have a slight chance
that this could move into the latest patch. Otherwise you will have to live
with it if there is no other workaround
If you have already compiled drivers or have linux.2 please put them on

Slow performance even with 2GB of RAM

I am a long time Windows user and last week I finally made the switch. I had been contemplating making the switch over to a Mac ever since the Macbook Pros came out but they were a little out of my price range. Needless to say when the Macbooks came out I was sold. I bought a white 2.0 GHz Macbook. I noticed that it was a little sluggish when I ran several programs (i.e. Safari, iTunes, Mail, etc). According to several posts I have read this is to be expected with only 512MB of RAM. However, I recently upgraded to 2GB of RAM (2x1GB Patriot SO-DIMM DDR2 PC-5300). I have read several posts that say that with 2GB of RAM the system "just flies" or "cuts through programs like butter". I didnt really notice the speed boost that I was expecting. I was expecting programs to open right when I click on the icon but it still lags a little. Is there something else I need to do after I install the RAM? Is seems as though with a 2.0 GHz Intel Core Duo and 2GB of RAM I should see a substantial boost in speed. I think my 2GB of RAM is fine. The system profiler registers the new RAM at 667 MHz and everything seems to be ok. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'm getting the same thing, and I don't think it's the RAM, since I've already tried 2 different brands, one was a knockoff Samsung from eBay and another is authentic Samsung, from eBay, so still could be knockoff.
However, I mostly run Windows on my MacBook and notice no slowdowns, but when I boot into OSX, it is almost unusable, even the dashboard stutters into view. I checked out the System Analyzer and found no programs hogging up resources, and iStat nano reports 1.5GB RAM free!
So I don't get it, Apple's hardware test shows no problems, one of these nights I'm going to run Memtest for OSX to see if anything shows...
If I put my original Hynix 512MB memory back in, the sluggishness is gone, but it still runs like a machine with a low amount of memory.
Someone suggested creating a new account, so I am going to try that tonight. I sort of want to reload OSX, but would hate to go through all of that work if it's not gonna help.
Any help would be appreciated!

Is my MacBook (mid 2010) with an Intel Core 2 Duo (2.4 GHZ) with 2GB of Ram going to run smoothly when I purchase OS X Lion?

I dont know if a 2.4 GHZ Core 2 duo with 2GB of RAM and a mid 2010 model of my Macbook will run smoothly with Mac OS X Lion. Can anybody help make my decision either i should upgrade from snow leopard to lion?

My advice... DO NOT BUY.... otherwise you will be like me... frustrated and horrified.... I am suffering .... and im the last person to be on such discussion forum... but now I am here... you may be able to guage my furstration. Snow Leapord is zillion times better than Lion... they should call it pu**y instead of lion.

I bought this MacBook Pro 15.4" 1.83 GHz MA463LL/A with 2gb of RAM for real cheap on eBay because I'm poor and can't afford a new MACBOOK PRO and was wondering what everyone thinks about these laptops and what can and should I upgrade when I get money?

I bought this older MACBOOK PRO 15.4" 1.83 GHz with 2gb of RAM and Leopard 10.5 on eBay for real cheap because I don't have the money to buy a new one like I would like to do, and it comes with a disk to upgrade the OS to 10.6 and I was wondering what all I can and should upgrade (short of the whole computer) as I have the money to do so? Or did I just get really hosed?

You have the original Core Duo model. 2 GBs is the most RAM you can install, so the only thing you could upgrade would be the hard drive. Doing so is not a trivial task but you can find suitable hard drives and installation tutorials at OWC.
Since yours is a Core Duo model you can upgrade OS X to Snow Leopard, but not to Lion which requires a Core 2 Duo or better.

How to fix extremely slow printing from web pages with latest updates (iMac) & HP Office jet printer. (It was not a problem with earlier versions of Firefox & same computer & printer.)

The latest two updates of Mozilla Firefox are not useful for me because of extremely slow printing of web pages. It was never a problem before. Same iMac and HP officejet printer. How can I either fix it, or revert to an earlier version of the browser (without losing all my bookmarks) which didn't cause this problem?

Try scanning from your Mac. Use Image Capture app in your Applications folder.
Click once on the scanner on the left side, then click on Show Details along the bottom. Along the right side you will see LOTS of options for scanning and saving.

Extremely slow speeds on Windows Computers with 5th Generation AirPort Extreme

I just got a new refurbished AirPort Extreme 5th generation. Everything works great for all of my OS X devices and iOS Devices. I am getting my ISPs speeds when doing tests. The issue is when I am using Windows devices. My roommate has a desktop and a netbook and both are getting extremely slow speeds. Speeds like .07Mbps down. Does anyone have any idea what the issue might be?

You have no large file?? Really.. in the whole computer there is not a windows update file.. a backup file... a movie download file.. nothing.. ??
Anyway that is irrelevant.. the issue is wireless.
Download the latest drivers from the wireless manufacturer.
You will need to find out what wireless card is used and locate the correct download for that model.
On the Airport it is well worth doing the following tests.
1. Change the name to SMB standard.. short no spaces pure alphanumeric.
So if your wireless name is Fred Blog's Airport Extreme wireless
Plesae change it to AEwifi
2. Take off all security for a test.
3. Set channels.. I am guessing the computers are only using 2.4ghz, so set 11,6, 1 in that order.
No improvement.. just put the security back to WPA2 Personal with pure alphanumeric password..
Try and test new drivers and use no firewalls on the computer.. ensure that the computer is correctly set for home network.
Beyond that it is just incompatible.

GRC AC 5.3 on server with 2gb of RAM

Our client has very limited hardware resources until new servers arrive in a couple of months, and even though every SAP document I have found says that the minimum memory requirement is 4gb, we have gone ahead and installed it on a machine with 2gb for our development environment.
We are implementing Compliance Callibrator and Role Expert at the same time.
Should the system run slow, or will we encounter major problems and not be able to run any heavy background job such as uploads or risk analysis?
Any document with information regarding this I can show my client would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your responses. We have been getting Time outs when running some background jobs as part of our post-installation tasks. The error we get reads as follows:
Error in Rule Generation! Reason:ResourceException in method ConnectionFactoryImpl.getConnection():
com.sap.engine.services.connector.exceptions.BaseResourceException: Cannot get connection for 120 seconds.
Possible reasons:
1) Connections are cached within SystemThread(can be any server service or any code invoked within SystemThread in the SAP J2EE Engine),
2) The pool size of adapter "SAPSR3DB" is not enough according to the current load of the system or
3) The specified time to wait for connection is not enough according to the pool size and current load of the system.
In case 1) the solution is to check for cached connections using the Connector Service list-conns command,
in case 2) to increase the size of the pool and
in case 3) to increase the time to wait for connection property. In case of application thread,
there is an automatic mechanism which detects unclosed connections and unfinished transactions.
We are trying to get people from Basis to look at this since we have no access to the actual server and Netweaver / Database configuration.
Besides this error, every now and then the URLs stop responding so we can not access RAR, ERM, or Netweaver. A couple of times it came back by itself, but lately we´ve had to have the server rebooted. Any idea why this would be happening?
Do you know of a way to ensure the jobs run successfully. We do not mind if they take twice as long or however long to finish, as long as they end successfully.
Regards,
Federico

Problem with 2gb Corsair ram on MSI Diamond plus mobo

Ok first of all,the specs:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ "Manchester"
MSI MS-7100 K8N Diamond Plus, nVidia nForce4 SLI
MSI GeForce NX7900GTX-T2D512E
2048 MB DDR-RAM, 400MHz - (TWINX1024-3200C2PRO) Corsair TwinX CL2
( 4 pieces at 512mb ram)
Plextor PX-755SA/T3K DualLayer / 16x DVD+/-RW
HDD: Maxtor DiamondMax 10 (6V200E0) 200 GB SerialATA-II / 7200rpm
running on win xp prof. sp2
with newest version of mobo bios and drivers.
The thing is, if i stick all the for ram pieces into the pc, it tends to crash down after a while or during the booting with PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA as error msg.
but if i take two pieces out and run all with 1 gb no problems occour. This is starting to really annoy me, so i'm hoping someone has the know how to help me out, i'd really appriciate any suggestions or or solutions, i just want to run my system with 2gb of ram

run memtest on the system and tell us if you get any errors. it is probably a bad configuration of the memory timings and voltages. try to get the timings and voltages from the manufacturer's web page and then set up manually in bios.

ATTN: Guys with 2GB of RAM

I was considering upgrading my RAM from 2x512 to 2x1024. I would get the PDP 2-3-2-5 RAM, about $270 from ZipZoomFly.
My question is: For those of you who upgraded, did you notice a performance increase? If so, what was it? What type of activities, etc..
Thanks~

1 GB runs most of my programs fine and will be the sweet spot for most. With 2GB I can run a lot more with out a lot of file swaping 2 disk. It a lot smoother for task switching with 2GB, running:
BFME (game) and its editor (uses upto: "Commit charge: 1.5GB" +)
Playing MP3.
Browsing web.
MSN/Yahoo IM.
Downloading.
etc
As for games I don't see a big change 1GB VS 2GB, no where near as good as 512 vs 1GB. Running a lot of apps or memory hogs will benefit from the extra 1GB
You mite have a problem running 4X512 @ 400 and it will be T2. 2X1024 should be 400 @ T1. Mine runs @ 166 or 180 but locks up @ 200. So I play around with setting when O/C'ing, 2X512 runs fine @ 225 (with my ram)
I got 2 GB because of the price (ram was cheap £35 per 512) and just thinking about the future as I hope this rig last me 2-3 years for gaming before the the games can run smooth. Even @ low to mid setting. Yep you can replace the GFX but @ that point will the system be the bottle neck? Mite as well replace what you can.
1GB good (for most)
2GB better (for a few)

Slow Imaging on Lenovo T430 with MDT 2012 Update 1

I am having an issue where laying down the operating system (Custom WIM, Windows 7 x64 about 3GB in size) to a Lenovo T430 machines using MDT 2012 Update 1 is slow. The install operating system/applying image, seems to hang around 20%, this process takes anywhere from 10-20 minutes to complete before DISM applies the unattend file. While the process is “hung” the hard drive light on the laptop is solid, so I assume something is going on but I still do not understand why the process seems to hang. When I image an older Lenovo T410 laptop the WIM is layed down in about in about 5 minutes. So it seems strange to me that a new laptop model would be slower. I added new network card drivers and storage device drivers to out of box drivers and updated my deployment share. I am currently using a lite touch deployment, so I extracted the ISO to a bootable USB stick.
I thought this was a driver issue but I am not sure now. Anyone else see anything like this? Below is a screenshot of the process I am talking about, although like I said above, it seems to hang around 20% or so.

I'm experiencing the same issue with our latest batch of T430s laptops, using SCCM 2007 to deploy a custom WIN7SP1 x64 image:
With the 1st shipment of T430s' we received (Type: 2355-CE8), our image deploys to a system in 31 minutes total. The WIM download + apply stage with this model takes 7 minutes during the deployment.
With the 2nd shipment of T430s' we received (Type: 2355-2G8), our image deploys to a system in 97 minutes total. The WIM download + apply stage with this model takes 72 minutes during the deployment.
Aside from an additional stick of memory and a backlit keyboard, these two shipments should've been identical. A quick device manager comparison of the two types shows only one major difference: the Type 2355-CE8 systems use a Micron SSD (C400-MTFDDAK128MAM) where as the Type 2355-2G8 use a Toshiba SSD (THNSNF128GCSS).
If I swap the Micron SSD (from a Type 2355-CE8 system) into one of the Type 2355-2G8 systems and re-image it, deployment now takes 33 minutes total, and the WIM + download stage takes 8 minutes during the deployment.
A 2-3 minute difference (total deployment time) is acceptable, but a 60+ minute difference is not.

Firefox17 is extremely slow on the net compared with MS Internet Explorer. Can I downgrade it and not loose bookmarks and how?

I have upgrade my Firefox to the 17 version and it worked just fine from the beginning but it have become slower and slower on communication to the internet. I have used your product for some time and I like it but this is not ok. I upgrade the system as soon as there is something new. It is important for me to be able to save the bookmarks. I use the Swedish version!

Hi, after upgrading to Firefox 17 all browsing slowed down.
After doing several speed tests with Firefox 17 and IE9 I was getting 75% slower speeds with Firefox.
After a lot of hassle I got back to v16.0.2 and my speed is back to normal.

After 10.7.4 update, everything is slow, on my mac mini with 8 GB Ram

I don´t know, what I can do. Before the update, everything was very qiuck. I was happy with my first mac. and now everything is slow. Safari is very slow.
what can I do?

Not enough free space on the startup disk can slow the entire system down including Safari.
Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info then select the Storage tab.
Make sure there's at least 15% available space.
If that's not the issue, the startup disk may need repairing.
Use Lion Recovery

Windows 7 only booting with 2GB of ram instead of 8.

I used Bootcamp (newest version) to install Windows 7 Ultimate on my partitioned hard drive on my Mac Mini. The computer has 8GB of RAM, but when I open the Task Manager in Windows, I can only see that 2BG of RAM is being used. How can I get it so that I can use all 8GB of RAM on Windows 7? Is there any possibility that I could do it without having to reinstall Windows?
I can see that the task manager sees that 8GB are installed, but it also says that there is 2GB total. The OS is only being run with the 2GB and not the 8 that are being detected.
All I would like to know is how I can get Windows 7 to use all 8GB of RAM. I did install the x86 version.
Thannk you.

I just checked an I am only running the 32 bit. This is clearly the issue. Alright. This will probably solve it. Thanks.
