High use of RAM

I note when using Yosemite (by the Activity Monitor) a very high use of RAM when I don't even have any chosen apps running. Why?

Hello Allan,
Many thanks for your response. I tried a few ways of copying to your response but this was the only way it seemed to work.

Since 4.0.1 I am getting nasty graphics crashes and very high use of RAM

Simce FF 4.0.1 I am having some nasty gfx crashes and very HIGH demand for RAM. YouTube seems to bring it on faster but it happens without as well.

Once it's poped, you can't get rid of it, it gives you an 'Ok' option, but if you press it, it just loads again, and you can't press the 'x' or it just comes back.
In order to get Skype working again I have to 'End Process' in task manager (Where I see it using 1GB Ram), and then re-start skype and it's fine.

Can i use 533 ram ??

can i use 533 ram with my board : msi 865pe pls ??????????

Most suitable PSUs for any system will be like Antec TruePower 480w, Enermax Noisetakers 470w, Enermax 465watts, PowerPC 550watts, OCZ 550watts etc.
Like I said, 533MHz RAMs are meant for o/c'ing so there'll be no official statement that it'll be 100% supported as the highest stable for a FSB 800MHz CPU is DDR 400MHz RAMs which are reconisged by Intel and anything higher than that is considered for o/c'ing purposes.
If you die die wants to buy the DDR 533s, I recommend Kingston or Geil Golden Dragon series. You may want to check out what other users are using for their RAMs vs Mobos.

Can I use 4GB RAM on my MSI K8N Diamond with Windows 7?

Can I use 4GB RAM on my MSI K8N Diamond with Windows 7? I have put 4GB DDR 1 in my motherboard but windows 7 says (2.75GB usable)...
Regards, Jay

It depends highly on how much hardware (add-in cards) you have installed. If you have two VGA-cards, then it's likely that usable memory stays below 3GB. If you take some hardware out, you will see the usable memory increase a bit, but you won't reach the full 4GB. It will go as far as about 3.25 or so.

MSI Z68a-GD55 (B3) became unable to use 4 ram

My motherboard which i has use for half year, suddenly became unable to use 4 ram simultaneously.
i tried to check each RAM, and i don't think that they are broken. because all of them can work if i place 1 or 2 or 3 of them.
only if i use 4 of them simultaneously, either my PC won't boot up or they boot up, run for some time, freeze, and after restart became unable to boot again.
anyone have any idea why? or how to fix it?
thanks before

>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
MEMTEST is included with the forum flash tool.
Could be something with the memory controller if the memory checks out ok. Perhaps try setting the dramv slightly higher.

Max RAM? Vista? Windows 7?

I can't find a dv5-1198de but I did find a dv5-1198er which should be similiar. It states up to 8 gb of ram. HERE
I would try www.Crucial.com for suggested memory ,you can use their Scanner Tool to let it detect what you have and what you can upgrade/replace with.

648 Max - Identifying but not using both RAM modules

Hi!
I'm totally new here, just stumbled across this forum while googling for a solution to my problem, so please excuse my lack of proper terminology if that should occur.
I have the following system (data obtained from Everest 2.20 and own brain):
P4 2,80 GHz, no OC, no HT
2x Crucial PC2700 DDR-DIMM 1024MB 2,5-3-3-7 @ 166 MHz
MSI 648Max (MS-6585)
PowerColor Radeon X1950Pro AGP 256MB GDDR3, no OC
Thermaltake Toughpower 850W Modular
Hitachi Deskstar T7K250 160GB IDE
BIOS (this is my weak spot...) Everest says BIOS type AMI, dated 28/1/2003, no info other than that
WinXP Home SP3 + all updates AFAIK
In general, the system is originally ready-built Fujitsu-Siemens system from 2002 (i think), but heavily modified by me (RAM upgrade, HDD upgrade, several GPU and PS upgrades).
My problem is that the computer only occasionally uses both RAMs (i.e. showing 2,00GB RAM in My Computer's properties). More often than not, however, it only shows 1,00GB RAM. AFAIK this problem is pretty recent, and did not occur when the RAM was new and installed by me. I have tried to systematically testing the two different RAM modules separately in each of the three DIMM slots, and the computer booted and ran Windows desktop at idle without problems in all configurations. I therefore dismissed the possibility of both MB and RAM failure, and reinstalled both modules in DIMM 1 & 2, where they have always been located. The computer ran with 2,00GB of RAM for a day, then reverted back to only 1,00GB the next morning. Tried moving the RAM in DIMM 2 to DIMM 3, and the computer ran another day on 2,00GB. However, this morning it was back to 1,00GB again.
Through all this, Everest 2.20 has always detected both RAMs in the correct slots, but have displayed 1024 and 2048MB memory on the System Summary page. Rebooting the computer without dismantling it and fiddling with the modules does apparently not change the usable amount of RAM back to 2,00GB when stuck at 1,00GB.
Anybody know what the issue might be (since none of the components seem to be faulty by themselves) and how to solve it? Please keep in mind that my BIOS skills are shoddy at best (but successfully flashed the BIOS once by help of an official guide, no stability issues after the upgrade), so detailed instructions regarding that might be a bit over my head. The same goes for overclocking or manually adjusting any voltages or freqs, which I've never tried.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Apparently a total power-off reboot (power down, PS power switch off, push and hold power button till lights go out, switch back on, power up) seems to reset the RAM to the correct amount of 2GB. Any clues?

The voltage to the memory might need to be raised one notch. That adjustment is done in the bios.
You can download the motherboard manual from this link. http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloadfile&dno=3576&type=manual
Section 3 page 27 thru 28 cover the adjustment of the memory voltage.
This is for a retail motherboard. I do not know if your motherboard has this in its bios. It is in a section under Frequency/Voltage Control

Any use for RAM pulled from stock 24" iMac?

Greetings!
I am about to configure and order an iMac that my employer, a big university, is buying me as a workstation. They spring for a bottom-of-the-line 20" iMac. I'm going to use my own funds to upgrade to a 24" iMac. I want 4 GB of RAM in it. I can buy first-rate 3rd party RAM for about $50-60 less than Apple's upgrade cost at my university's special ordering and configuration page. This isn't a lot, and reckon using Apple's RAM might help if something goes wrong (I've heard that some problems are blamed on 3rd-party RAM). But upgrading aside from Apple might be more attractive if I could figure out anything to do with the 2x1 GB sticks I would be pulling from the machine. Can anybody suggest a likely use for them? I have a G5 DP 2GB machine from 2005, but I assume this RAM can't be added to that.
Any suggestions for how to use that RAM would be very much appreciated. I am also posting a separate question about upgrading the stock video card to the GEForce model.
Thanks in advance!
George Fowler

I haven't really answered my initial question: what use can I put the 800 DDR2 SDRAM pulled from the iMac to? If I can find something to do with it, then that changes the price equation further in favor of 3rd party RAM. As it is, for non-generic RAM the savings is about $50. One hears that Apple often blames technical problems on 3rd party RAM. $50 might not be worth it to run that risk. But if the 1 GB chips could go into, say, an old iBook G4 (well, I'm sure that won't work) or some other technology I have around me, then I'd have a reason to have those chips in addition to the ones running the new iMac.
You quite piquantly pointed out that they ought to have some use, but that you have experienced the same dilemma. I'm hoping somebody else might have a bright idea here.
George

I Thought that ram memory cycling from 12 to 0 gigs or so was and is a problem in and of itself. As you've explained and demonstrated it's not. But this scenario that is now playing out has never happened since I've had this Mac Mini. Again many thanks.
SO if I may ask one other question separate from the above.
In updating to Yosemite would you recommend a clean install or just upgrading? I've not done a clean install since purchasing the Mini but I was thinking since I'm having issues with the system hanging and spinning icons perhaps performing a wipe is warranted. If so, I understand I can not just format and download Yosemite but I must reinstall Snow Leopard then update to Yosemite. Is this correct? Since I've upgraded the ram from 4 gigs to 8 and earlier this year to 16 gigs, will Snow Leopard recognize 16 gigs of ram?
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Can I use the ram...

Hi,
I was wondering if I can use the ram from a Macbook core 2 duo in a Macbook Pro.
Is it the same?
Thanks

Yes. Currently, all Intel Macs except for the Mac Pro and the Xserve use the same type of RAM.

After Effects not using free RAM?

Hi there
Just like to ask question regarding after effects and ram usage.
I remember before I installed the app Memory Booster - that allows you to keep track of how much ram, there was a healthy use of RAM there from after effects.
But i noticed today, whilst rendering and doing background cache rendering, the free RAM still available stays at around 4GB and I am wondering why it's not using this free RAM to help faster rendering?
this is my current multi-processing/ram settings on AE- essentially it should be using up to 6.5 GB of RAM as i allocated as I need faster rendering? Just wondering why it's staying stuck at around 3-4GB of free RAM on my system when it could clearly be used by AE. I want AE to use the RAM as it is the only running program on my system when i work!
Memory Booster down to 3.18GB with one safari tab open for Adobe forums, when exiting, it jumps back up to 4GB free RAM
Confused!
Thanks

Different projects, different footage attributes, different AE features used, different effects used, different delivery specs....
...are you comparing apples to apples, or apples to ORANGES? We don't know that.

Can I Use DDR3 RAM for iMac 7,1 Memory Upgrade?

Yesterday, from the Apple Store, I ordered an Apple Memory Module 4GB 1333MHz DDR3 (PC3-10600) - 2x2GB. In the Apple Store it said that this was compatible with all computers shown so I assumed it would be okay with my mid 2007.
From further reading it seems that I will not be able to use this memory and that I should have purchsed 4GB 667MHz DDR2 instead. Is this correct? Will I be able to use the DDR3 that I have purchased or will I need to get the DDR2?
I tried to cancel the order but it was too late. I should have researched it properly first.
Cheers for any advice.

You will not be able to use the ram you ordered. You need to return it and purchase ram that is
200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM. Also, don't purchase ram from the Apple store, they overcharge for it. Look to order ram from a vendor such as Crucial or OWC.

Has anyone else noticed firefox using more RAM in windows 7?

I've noticed this lately and firefox has been using more RAM lately. I only have 1 tab open and it doesn't matter what page I would be on when it happens. It wouldn't bother me if I still had 6GB of RAM but I am going on 3.5 now. Can you guys fix this please? Just being on this page alone it's at 2.15GB when it would usually be at 1.78 and in processes it says 260,000k. I don't have any other windows or tabs open.

All is good now :D

High use of RAM
