G.Skill Ram support?

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?
EDIT:
msi p7n diamond mobo.
e8400
8800gts 512
running windows xp pro sp2.
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.

Re-enabling DVD-RAM support?

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?

Thank you and SG for your responses.
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.

G-Skill Ram with new mac mini

Hey guys,
Has anyone had any experience with G-skill ram in the new mac minis?
I want to upgrade and there is a good deal on it, but don't want to buy if it wont work.
Thanks in advance.

you're better off getting your RAM for your Mini from either [OWC|http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/mac-mini> or [Crucial|http://www.crucial.com/mac/index.aspx].

MSI Neo Platinum and G.skill Ram

Was just wondering if anybody had this combination (MSI K8N Neo Platinum and G.skill Ram). I have the MSI Neo Platinum. I ordered the processor yesterday (3400 1Mb socket 754) and now I need some ram. I ran across this ram and saw that it had good timings. If anyone has this or has tried it please lemme know how it worked for you and what size sticks you got. Thanks
Karl

looked at the links you provided
specs seem ok nice range of speeds and can run at a nice low latency at pc3200 i.e 400mhz.
should also enable a nice o`clock at pc 4400 specs ie 3.4.4.8 ie higher fsb etc.
than pc 3200 ram
you should be able to run it at fairly low latencies and fairly high fsb sort of half way between the 2.
might well be worth a try you might have found something good there. but then again you wont know till you try it..
contact the reseller and see if you can rma it if it wont run
then you got some comeback if it aint compatable..
keep us informed

Capacity
Voltage
Any recomends brand?????
Plese help me out hp.

Hi
Here is the service manual: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02657339.pdf
Yes you can upgrade upto 8GB (2*4GB) if the operating system installed is 64-bit
There are two slots in the memory bay
Supports dual channel boost if two identical RAMs of same size are put
Type: DDR3, SO-DIMM SDRAM
Non-ECC, UNBUFFERED
Speed: your processor can run RAM only at 1066MHz, if 1333MHz is put it'll downgrade to 1066MHz
Capacity: upto 8GB only if OS installed is 64-bit
In 32-bit OS, system can "take" only upto 4GB.
If your OS is 64-bit, you can add extra 4GB in other slot to make total RAM to 6Gb too.
Brands: Hynix, Elpida, Kingston, G.Skill, Crucial
Here are some of them:

Lenovo x201/x201s 16GB (2x 8GB) RAM support

Hello everyone,
I have a X201s notebook - which is a very decent one with i7, 8GB and 256GB Samsung PM800 SSD.
I have been running on 8GB since day one in 2010 when I got it. Now I need more RAM and tried to upgrade to 16Gb but the 8GB sticks I bought froM GEIL or G.Skill just does not do. I have read that Corsair produce similar results.
The BIOS does recognise the RAM and show it as 16GB, however Windows 7 stops booting where the graphical part should appear (the flying balls), so does Windows 8 when I try to install it. No MS OS can be installed either.
Windows Memory Check runs but VERY slow. I would say it would take a month for it to complete.
Tried both BIOS 1.36 and 1.38.
Question to Lenovo - any plans to support 16Gb for X201?
So far I seen people tested GEIL, G.Skill, OWC, Corsair - neither of them had any luck.
Thanks.
Question to all - anyone got it running with 16GB?

Hello Kromulator,
I don't think the restriction of the RAM is due to the processor.
The X201/X201s can not support more than 8Gb of memory due to restrictions. More than likely these restrictions are due to the motherboard.
http://www.lenovo.com/psref/pdf/ltwbook.pdf
But as you can see on the link I have provided on the X201 section toward the bottom, the Max RAM is 8Gb.
BIOS will recognize more RAM but can not do anything with it. The RAM will sadly be motionless and unusable.
8Gb is the Max and 4Gb is the standard.
To speed up the computer a good idea would be possible an SSD or a partition for cache.
I hope this helps,
Alex

MSI 880G-E45 AMD ATX and G.Skill Ram?

I am upgrading my system and was thinking of getting the MSI 880G-E45 AMD ATX motherboard with the AMD Phenom II X6 1090T BE AM3 with the G.Skill 2 2Gig ram sticks. I checked the MSI site to see if the ram works with the 880G, but the 2 last letters of the ram listed was off from what I bought. Does that mean it won't work? The package says the G.Skill is designed for Intel LGA1156 platforms and compatible with Intel LGA1155 Sandy Bridge and AMD AM3 CPUs.
F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL is what I bought
F3-12800CL9D-4GBHN or something like that was what was listed on the list
I know the motherboard and processor are compatible though because I saw a couple of people using the same bundle and it's listed as compatible.
MSI 880G-E45 AMD ATX
AMD Phenom II X6 1090T BE AM3
G.Skill Ripjaws 2 2Gig ram
And yes, I am not very computer techy literate.

But on newegg, the G.Skill had pretty stellar reviews from a bunch of people so it's hard to think they are a bad choice.
Were these reports by Intel or AMD users ?
If you look at what G-Skill states themselves in one of the feedbacks you will see this:

We are sorry to hear you are having issues. Please make sure to configure memory settings properly in BIOS. Without the proper settings, this memory will not work smoothly. This memory is above standard, so manual settings or enabling DOCP (if supported) is required. AMD systems only support DDR3-1333 CL9 natively, so if you purchase memory better than this, you must manually input settings in BIOS

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,

Macbook Pro i5-2.53ghz- 16gb Ram Support?

Does my macbook pro support 16gb DDR3 ram. Its a Mid 2010 Model

unless your model is an Early 2011 or later, no it does not.

MacBook Black 2008' RAM support

I recently purchased an 8gb DDR2 800MHz ram kit and installed it into my Black MacBook which supports up to 6gb. I have TechTool's Pro 7 and it's giving me a "caution" symbol because the 800MHz RAM isn't the offical supported speed that the MacBook can take. Is it ok to have 2gb 667MHz RAM and a 4gb 800MHz RAM chip together? Does this cause system issues or slowdowns?
I am just weary because I noticed a slight lag after upgrading and I have a 128gb SSD inside and now 6gb of RAM which should theoretically speed things up even more.
Any help or insight would be fantastic! Thanks in advance

The biggest thing that is going to happen is the computer is going to only go as the slowest piece of RAM. I'm not sure what speed is supported by the computer and what one you should use, but I can tell you that by using a 667 MHz and an 800 MHz piece of RAM, the 800 MHz RAM is going to slow down and run at 667 MHz. If your computer can support the 800 MHz, then by having two of the same pieces of RAM in the computer, you are going to run at 800 MHz which in turn is going to be faster RAM which is going to get rid of the sluggish feeling that you were explaining. However, like I said, I'm not sure if it will accept the 800 MHz RAM if it doesn't support it. The only reason it is now if it doesn't is because the 667 MHz RAM that is there, is causing the other stick to slow down which is making it work with the computer even though it is 800 MHz. However, with the RAM being forced to slow down like that, it can cause some timing errors which is going to give you kernel panics and things like that so I would keep an eye on it.

DVD-RAM support?

Hi All!
I'm using iMac Intel at work, and I tried to use DVD-RAM storage media. OS X 10.4.9 and Ubuntu linux 7.04 reported, that my drive Pioneer DVR-K06 does not support DVD-RAM at all, but according to manufacturer's website, my drive supports DVD-RAM writing speed up to 5x! Who lies?
P.S. I think its some kind of "think different" concept implementation: specially for Apple, Pioneer ships drives with removed DVD-RAM support

Open System Profiler, click on the Disc Burning item in the list. It will report what DVD disc burning is supported. For example this is what is reported for the Superdrive in my C2D MacBook Pro:
DVD-Write: -R, -RW, +R, +RW, +R DL
According to the iMac specs the Superdrive supports:
17-inch model with 2.0GHz processor, 20-inch model and 24-inch model with slot-loading 8x SuperDrive (DVD+R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
Writes DVD+R DL discs at up to 2.4x speed
Writes DVD-R and DVD+R discs at up to 8x speed
Writes DVD-RW and DVD+RW discs at up to 4x speed
Reads DVDs at up to 8x speed
Writes CD-R discs at up to 24x speed
Writes CD-RW discs at up to 16x speed
Reads CDs at up to 24x speed
I don't see any mention of DVD-RAM.

Qosmio G50-12K - BIOS update for 8GB RAM support?

Hi
I just upgraded my Qosmio G50-12k to 8GB RAM and installed Windows 7 64bit ultimate. The Windows see 8GB RAM but can only use 4GB. I have BIOS version 2.0.0 I wanted to upgrade to version 2.10 "P0060v210.exe"
When I run the BIOS update i get this massage [Error] BIOS Update is not supported OS. Unsepported OS or service pack installed.
I am really clueless on what to do. Can Qosmio G50-12k BIOS be updated to support 8GB RAM?
please help !
thanks allot eliot

Hi eliotah,
In my opinion BIOS update is worth a try!
But I dont understand why you cant make this update. Have you installed Toshiba Value Added Package? In my opinion its necessary to start the BIOS update.
