Help with Ram & a Model number.

Hi,
Trying to purchase some additional RAM for my daughters iMac on the stealth. I have the model number #A1174 and the basics - like it's a 20", 2.0GHZ, and that it came with 512 MB installed - can anyone tell me by looking at the model number if this is one of the new Intel Duo Core machines? I want to be sure and order the correct RAM.
thanks!

For the money, right now there are tons of the 512MB modules of 667MHz SO-DIMM memory being offered on eBay by individual owners who are upgrading their Intel-based iMacs, MacBooks, MacBook Pros and minis, any of which RAM will work in your iMac. Due to the quantity being offered, one can be purchased for a fraction of the amount as new, usually no more than $35 total, including shipping. Many of them have even been removed prior to ever being used.
There are not too many similar 1GB modules available, although some MacBook Pro owners of the new Core 2 Duo are replacing one of two of their base 1GB modules with a 2GB module (the result being 3GB of memory). Those modules will work problem free in a Core Duo.
For quick purchase of best quality, in fact, one of the best current prices appears to be a sale price with free shipping from one of the four main memory suppliers to Apple - U.S. based Micron, whose fully owned subsidiary Crucial retails their memory to the public at crucial.com. I just checked and their # CT500622 is 132.29 plus sales tax. You get a warrranty, which isn't the case with an eBay purchase. I've bought a lot from both of the sources I've recommended, and haven't had a problem with either, so haven't yet needed a warranty.

  • Need help with ram on bootcamp

    hey guys i need help with getting more ram on the pc side of bootcamp.
    it says i have 1.99 of ram on the pc side
    then on the mac i got this

    wanting to know how to get more ram over to boot camp

    Rodney:
    You cannot physically or via software add/move RAM from OSx side to Windows side. This is because you run Leopard and Windows separately and therefore when one is running the other is not active. The only thing that controls how much RAM Windows sees/uses is determined by the type of Windows you have installed (32BIT or 64BIT). Please do not confuse that with Gigabytes of RAM or disk space.
    32BIT Windows has a maximum limit of 3GB of RAM (it often uses only around 2GB of RAM when it is sharing the system RAM with your video card. I believe this is the case with you.
    64BIT Windows will be able to sees/use all of your 4GB of RAM.
    Leopard sees/uses all of your 4GB of RAM.
    If you have installed Windows XPSP2 and it is working properly on your boot camp partition then I can assure you that it is the 32BIT version.
    FYI - The only time that one can select/decide how much RAM Leopard uses and how much RAM Windows uses is when one is running Windows as a Virtual Machine under software such as Fusion or Parallels. I have assumed that you are running windows on a boot camp partition (from your posts) and therefore this does not apply to you.

  • Help with ram slots on MSI P7N SLI PLATINUM

    rig config:
    MSI P7N SLI PLATINUM (MS-7380)
    bios version: 1.3v
    Q6600 quard core 2.66GHz
    Zotac modded 9800GTX+ amped version
    2x2 Gb DDR2 800MHz Kingston
    500 watt (absolute) power supply (taken form an old HP workstation)
    windows 7 X64
    Everything's on stock setting
    Its been almost 1 & 1/2 years since i bought this rig, and from first month itself i have been having problem with the ram. The problem is not with the sticks, its with the ram slots. There are different things that happen. Sometimes when i boot my system:
    1) either, it wont start, i.e. no boot screen.
    2) It will load upto windows startup screen, crash and restart in an infinite loop.
    3) It will load windows, then crash after sometime.
    4) If i run any memory diagnostic, it will give errors.
    At these times, i take out my 2 ram sticks, tinker with them, place them in different combination of ram slots, try push them in, in a certain way, keep trying until it yields and it boots up again ( generally a process of 1/2 an hr to an hr). After this my system will work fine ( no errors on any memory diagnostic) and boot properly for a week or 2, maybe even a month, but then again the same problem happens. I know for sure that there is no problem with my dimms (have checked them in other system and they work fine), its something to do with ram slots, or memory bus-controller structure.
    Recently the problem happened again, though my tinkering didn't help. My system only boots up if i place any of the ram sticks in the 3rd slot (the 1st orange one). It wont work for any other slot and neither will it work if i place both of the sticks together. I have tried resetting my bios as well cmos settings, but it has not helped. My mb is still in warranty, but if i give it for repair, it will be gone for a good month or so, which doesn't go well with me. If someone has any suggestions, or a way out, it will be highly appreciated. Please help!

    yes the psu has a single +12v rail with 21A rating, but somehow i don't feel the problem is because of it. When my system successfully boots, it works properly. I can play or work on high performance softwares for any number of hours without fail, which ought not to happen if the psu is bad.
    Hmm, you are ignoring the possibility that your PSU is "flaky" (that's a technical term)!!!! You've never had any gizmo where "sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't work"?
    If you don't want to buy a new PSU then at least beg-borrow-steal another one and see if your symptoms change.

  • Help me Identify my Model number of Satellite P500

    Hi To All,
                Guys I have bought a new toshiba satellite laptop P500 Series. I am having hard time to identify it's complete model number. I have search the internet all over but still haven't found any luck in identifying it. Could anyone please help me in this situation.
    Model : Satellite P500                       
    Part number : PSPG8U-08F02CB       Operating System : Windows 7 home premium 64bit
    I would be very thankful for anybodys help. Thanks in advance.

    Thanks a lot for replying. I have everything. I have even made my recovery DVD's. I got it from Dubai. I just wanted to know the specs through it's model number in a bit more detail.
     When I bought it even then only it said P500. Just out of curiosity I wanted to ask that can I install a 2nd HDD ??? There is a compartment below I saw....
    I wanted to ask also that I hear a sound below the left speaker like if the wings of the fan are touching something !! The sound is barely there but when it is turned on it's audible for 2 secs a bit loud than becomes quite but still is there if listened very very carefully. Just wanted to ask is it something alarming or I should just forget it. Because I love it as it is performing awesomely. No problems what so ever. It runs smoothly. I even updated the BIOS. Although I read in the forums many complaints of people about the P500 & also about the BIOS problem that occured after the update from toshiba service station. Thanks to God my laptop is working smoothly.
    I think that the some of the P500's very faulty machinery or hardware or software problems. Just my opinion though. Hope to reading your reply soon. Thanks

  • Help with data load model

    Hi,
    I need help with a data load model. First, i'm doing delta extraction from R/3, we load data with a InfoSource to InfoCube A and InfoCube B.
    I'm doing master data validation on the load, so if a load fails for InfoCube A, it fails for InfoCube B too (this is because i can have only 1 InfoPackage for the 2 infocubes, because of the delta update).
    So i propose a new model in wich:
    - The delta load is taked first to an ODS.
    - ODS is cleaned before the delta update.
    - Then i create 2 InfoPackages for full load from ODS to  Infocube A, and from ODS to InfoCube B.
    With this solution i can have 2 infopackages from ODS because i'm not doing a delta load from here to the cubes, and with 2 infopackages i can have independent validations for each cube so if one of them fails, the other can still be loaded sucessfully.
    The solution fails because if i load delta from R/3 to the ODS i can't clean it first. The initialization and the old updates needs to be previuslly loaded on the ODS. Then i can't do full load to the cubes and neither have 2 infopackages.
    Please help me to solve this issue.
    thanks a lot

    Hi jeremy,
    what about this simple solution:
    load data by delta from R/3 in your ODS. You can also have an ODS/cube for the historical data which is more space-saving than holding all the old data in PSA. Then you load your historical data from PSA into the historical ODS/cube.
    From your ODS with the actual data you update your requests by full from ODS into the cubes with 2 different full infopackages. But because you load by full you have to use deletion selections in the infopackages to avoid duplicate data!
    regards,
    Jürgen

  • Help with identifying the Model of a Toshiba satellite

    I have a Toshiba Satellite
    I believe this is a A105, but don't know the full model number.
    I ran Belarc Advisor. It did not give the full model.
    Thanks, Bob

    Hello Robert.
    If per chance you are Canadian, go to the Toshiba.ca site and let it identify your model automatically. I had to do this as mine, like yours, might not be listed on the .com site.

  • What models of iPhone 6 are the best? The one you buy in America with LL/A model number or the ones in Europe?

    I got a friend who bought and iPhone in europe and he keeps saying that he made a mistake because the ones with factory unlocks in USA with LL/A model numbers are better ....?!?! Is this true?

    @Angel1992
    It sounds like you friend feels the one in the Europe is locked and the one purchased in the United States is unlock.  Well depends how you buy your unit?  Is he planning to purchase and unlock iphone or carrier locked iphone?
    Many of my friends, from England, visit NYC to go shopping for their idevices. Why?
    - Is cheaper vs europe pricing
    - they can get an purchase an unlock idevice issue free as long they willing to pay full retail price.
    The question are willing to go that far to purchase anything overseas?
    Do the math: travel, currency exchange, hotel cost, flights, food and waiting on line to get unlock iphone 6.  Is really worth it?  Some people will have different answers to this question.  Your answer will be unique.
    Cheers!

  • Help with the Parallel Model configuration

    This is my first time posting, but I am a long time reader....
    First off, I would consider my Teststand knowledge level as high novice to low intermidiate. I created  a test sequence using in Teststand which calls labview vi's. My test sequence tests 5 units at a time in a parallel model (parallel model sequence). Functionally, everything runs great in single pass and looping. However, here is my issue:
    When selecting "Test UUT's", it brings up a window that asks for the serial number for each of the five stations. The operator then needs to enter a serial number for each and press okay to proceed. This setup is not valid for what I am doing. My test fixture has a button at each of the 5 stations. The user is to push the button to start the test (connects to a DAQ). Then, the serial number is read from the UUT and populated in the report.
    How would I go about reconfiguring this? I am not looking for someone to solve my problems for me, I just need a little direction. I looked at the parallel model sequence and I can't figure out where to go with it.
    Please help,

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    No problem Ryan,
    When you are done here you will be a pro.  
    Here is a link that talks about callbacks and how overriding them works: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/6605
    The PreUUT will be a Model Callback.
    One thing I should point out- There is a huge difference between the Batch Model and the Parallel Model.  People tend to get them confused and sometimes use the wrong when the other one is a better fit for their architecture.  They way I think about it is like a race track.  Each car on the track represents a different test socket.  One time around the track represents a full test.  Pretend the race is completed by teams of cars.  Each team can only race one car for one lap (sorta like a relay).  The team would represent the available test fixture for the next UUT and the car would be the UUT. Here's how the race would work with each model:
    Batch Model-  Let's say there are 2 available spots in the race so we have 2 teams of 5 cars each.  Both of the teams 1st cars would line up at the starting line.  The gun would go off and each car would take off.  Let's say team 1's car gets around the lap first.  Before they can start their 2nd car they have to wait for team 2's 1st car to get around the track as well.  Then both team's 2nd cars would line up and continue the same as the first go around and so on until all 5 cars had raced.
    Parallel Model-  In the same car scenario as the Batch Model both of the team's 1st cars would line up and the gun would go off and they would go.  However, this time if team 1's car gets around the track they can immediately send their second car without waiting for Team 2's 1st car.  In fact all 5 of team 1's cars could be finished before team 2's 1st car even finishes it's lap.
    Not sure if you are a fan of analogies but they work for me. In short-
    Batch Model- Everything in that set of test sockets must start and stop at the same time.
    Parallel Model- Each test socket is independant of any other test sockets.
    I'm picturing your scenario where you have 5 different stations that will be running independantly of each other and trying to figure out if you would want the Batch behavior or the Parallel behavior.  Or..... Why wouldn't you just use the sequential model on each station and deploy your sequence to each station?  Maybe you can describe your setup in a little more detail and we could come up with a better solution.
    How does the one station know that the others have the Go button pushed?

  • Help with BT6500 showing "no number"

    I purchased a pair of BT6500 about 4 months ago and it has been brilliant for screening out nuisance calls, witheld calls and international calls etc but for the last 2 days whenever anyone rings the screen says "no number" instead of showing who's calling. I definitly have caller ID on my phone and  it has always worked fine. This has got so annoying and I have answered a couple of numbers which I know should be blocked but they are now getting through. Nothing has changed on the settings, no one has been messing around with the phones, I am now finding this increasinly frustrating. Can anyone shed any light on this please. I would be really greatful. Thanks

    Hi Flowerfairy,

    Have you had a look at the user guide for that model of handset?  My advice would be to check it out and you can also contact product support if the problem persists.  Their number is on there too.

  • Need help with Imac G5 Model A1145 for resetting to factory settings

    Hi - I am new to the Mac world.  I recently inherited an iMac G5 Model A1145.  I am trying to reset the hard drive to factory settings.  It came with no discs whatsoever.  I've tried to push the option button upon restart or command + R but I never get a Disk Utility screen.
    This iMac has no CD drive with it (although I do have a USB CD drive that I could use if necessary).
    Does anyone know how I can reset the hard drive back to factory settings??
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you

    "command + R but I never get a Disk Utility screen.": These old iMacs don't have this feature.
    you'll need a disc. If you don't have any, you'll need to find one: http://www.macworld.com/article/2101301/advice-from-an-apple-tech-how-to-get-old -mac-os-x-install-discs.html

    A quick glance at the documentation for mathmetical functions
    turns up
    int(), floor() and ceiling() depending on how you would like
    to round
    different types of numbers.

  • Help with Ram question.

    I have the 15" Macbook Pro with 4 Gigs of ram. I was wondering if it is worth paying 100$ to upgrade to 8 Gigs of ram since I do play a bit of video games, Thank you.

    Well if you got the 2.0 Ghz 15" 2011 MacBook Pro it can help as you got a lousy video card that shares memory with the main memory. So a little more memory might help.
    If you got the 2011 2.2 Ghz 15" MBP or better, then it can help, but not on the graphics as you got the 1GB Radeion 6750M and it's a beast.
    See Crucial.com, punch in your machine and they will recommned the 8GB kit you need.
    (you have two 2-GB modules with only two RAM slots, so you need two 4-GB RAM modules now.)
    Next time, read the specs of the machines, ask online and compare what each machine can do before going and wasting your precious money.
    Barefeats.com is a good site for benchmarking.

    I switched my phone number to another line on my plan and cancelled the previous line.  The CSR told me that everything worked fine, and if I powered my phone off and back on my phone would be updated with the new number.  Well I hung up with her, powered my phone off and on, and under my phone number in settings it still says the old number. So I logged in online and my phone shows its with the number I switched it to so that's correct.  I even powered it off and took the sim card out and put it back in and it stil wont recoginze the new number. Now I can't call the CSR back for help because it's the only phone I have and it says I'm roaming.  Please help! Thanks

  • I need help with RAM

    I have a duo core intel iMac and I am going to college in the fall as a graphics student. Seeing as I will be dealing with lots of large .ai and .psd files I would like to get more RAM now. I am a bit in experienced with it but I want something nice and affordable. Any help is highly appreciated.

    Hey Chris Mannino
    At the current time, all RAM, without exception, is affordable, and you should simply max out your Mac with 2GB or 3GB of RAM, based on your iMac's specifications. What's inside it now can be stored in a drawer for an emergency. As usual, all the info you need is already linked on the main Intel-based iMac Support page:
    http://www.apple.com/support/imac/intel/

    Intel-based iMac: Installing and replacing memory (RAM)
    Your iMac already has a 250GB hard drive for storage and work space, which should be enough storage if you're just getting started. However, an external for backing up or archiving could be very worthwhile.
