I need a little advice on chosing RAM brand for my MBP

Hi, from France !
The computer store just next where I live has these 2 brands of RAM, and I am not sure which I should chose, so I was wondering if someone with experience could give me a little advice on which brand I should go with
This is what they have :
• Corsair : http://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00071269.html
• G. Skill : http://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00080116.html
(both 200 pins, unbuffered *(should I go for buffered, what's the difference ?)*, DDR2 667, PC2-5300)
+(this is for a MacBook Pro 2,33Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo (late 2006))+
Thanks a lot, do not hesitate to give your opinion even if someone else already answered !
(oh and extra bonus question, what benefit would I get by spending more money on ram for this kind of computer ? any suggestion on something else that would really rock ?)

Honestly, either is fine. There's no meaningful benefit by spending more.
RE buffered vs. unbuffered - essentially, unbuffered is what you want (buffered/registered RAM is for server applications).

Need a little advice please?

Hi all
Been a while since I've had any problems with my system but just lately it seems to have gone a little flakey on me.
About 3 weeks ago I installed a Soundblaster 5.1Live card and was very impressed with the sound quality compared to my old Muse XL card. Everything was fine for a couple of weeks and then all of a sudden no sound would come out of the speakers! I hadn't touched anything to do with the case, either inside or outside since installing the card or any audio settings and I checked that the speakers where ok on another system.
As my wife had been very impressed with the sound quality of the 5.1 before all sound was lost and so I had already decided to put that card in her machine and had ordered an Audigy 2 for this system since I was sort of planning on hooking it up to our surround sound system. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers for the 5.1 card but this made no difference and so when the Audigy 2 arrived today I removed the 5.1 and installed the Audigy 2 instead. Everything says it's installed properly but there's still no sound at all. It's currently installed on PCI slot 4, the same as the 5.1 had been and the Muse XL before it.
I know there can be problems between VIA chipsets and creative cards but I always thought they were usually to do with distorted sounds or popping and crackling, not just a sudden loss of sound..i.e. Saturday night it was happily playing MP3's and then Sunday morning nothing!
Would appreciate any advice

Hi guys
Thanks for the advice. I've cleared the CMOS, reinstalled the Audigy2 in slot 3 and the NIC in slot 4 and then reformatted the HDD and now everything is fine. All I need to do now is find out what's the best slot to install the SB 5.1 on my wife's ABIT KD7-E Mobo...it's ok, I'm not asking...will go and ask on AMD forums

Need help deciding on an internal hard drive for my MBP 15 inch.

Okay I'm tired of dealing hitting the wall with my internal memory. I don't want to use an external drive all the time so help me out. Please? I'm currently torn between the Western Digital Blue 1tb 7200rpm vs the WD Black 750gb 7200 rpm. I want the larger capacity of the blue but have heard some Mac users have had issues with it. Anyone have some advice or perhaps a recommendation for a better drive that meets any need I could possily have? Thanks for looking regardless.

Do not use WD Blue or other so-called "green" drives as they tend not to play well with Macs. The largest 7200 RPM notebook SATA drive is 750 GBS. The 1 TB drives are, I believe, all 5400 RPM. So if speed is a major concern then you don't want the 1 TB drives. Pay attention to the default warranties. Drive manufacturers have moved to unbundling the warranty, so you may get a one year warranty by default, but have to pay more for a longer warranty.

Need help picking the correct hard drive upgrade for my MBP

I need help picking the correct/best hard drive upgrade for my MBP. It is the 15" 2GHz Core Duo. Came with a spacious 90GB drive.
Suggestions and recommendations very appreciated.

It will take almost any 2.5 inch sata drive.
Take a look at www.newegg.com and www.macsales.com to see what's out there and how much it costs.
Toshiba have a 320gb 2,.5 inch drive in the works, but it's not quite out yet and will be expensive.
I'll start you off..

Running out of HD room, need a little advice...

Hi everyone.
My 100 gig internal drive is just about full so I'm in the process of getting a pocket 120 gig fw drive and I want to backup, erase and reinstall my apps and docs on the internal (do a little house cleaning) and have everything running nice and fresh.
Can anyone offer any advice, tips, tricks or third part apps that make this task easier (if any)? My local Mac dealer said basically, all I need to do is to take my Home folder and copy it to the external drive, then wipe my hd clean, reload my apps and move that home folder back over? Is this correct? Will everything be there (mail, bookmarks etc)?? I'm curious because according to the info, there is 33 gigs of stuff in that home folder and apparently only 13 gigs of apps (which only adds up to 46 gigs, so where's the remaining 47 gigs?).
One last question, I've just received my Universal FC Studio discs and I know it's HUGE if I install all the loops provided, can the loops for Live Type and Soundtrack Pro be installed on the pocket fw drive where I can access them only when I need to?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Rene.

I would NOT recommend you do that. Whether everything you need is in your Home folder, will depend entirely on how you have your work organized.
I recommend backing up EVERYTHING, the whole disk. Otherwise, sure as heck, you'll look for something, and it won't be there.

Ram Brands for Intel Mini

I am looking at getting some ram for my mini but am unsure what brand to buy. I have been looking at ram from OWC, they have there brand Other World Computing, TechWorks and Samsung.
I was also looking at Kingston Ram the KVR (Value Ram).
I would like some input on what other people have bought and what has worked for them.
Thanks guys.

I usually go with Crucial Mac's seem to be more picky on the ram and you need quality memory.
I priced out 2 gig for my mini at crucial but they were the same price as apple so I just used apple memory. Not sure what to recommend because of that. I've used Crucial ram since before imacs were born and I've never (*knocks on wood*) had any problems with them

Special RAM brand for Satellite A100 (PSAA9)?

Hi,
I have a Satellite A100-504 (PSAA9) with only 1 GB RAM. CPUZ says it's a Hyundai HYMP512S64BP8-C4 PC2-4300 module.
I want to upgrade to 2 GB and was wondering whether I have to buy some special sort of RAM? Do I have to buy also Hyundai RAM or can that be a different brand? What about the specifications? Which RAM modules would be the best in combination with Vista and that Hyundai HYMP512S64BP8-C4 1 GB module?
Thank you for your help!
Bob

One more thing: you can of course buy the memory modules from different manufacturers but be sure you use high quality product. I can recommend you also Kingston memory modules.

Best Alternative to Expensive Apple RAM for 2011 MBP i7 Upgrade to 8GB?

I'm about to upgrade my 2011 13" i7 to 8GB. I was wondering if there is a consensus on the best non-Apple RAM available for this MBP. I understand that one has to be careful about the RAM chosen to stay trouble free.

As long as it meets the require specs, and you purchase from a reliable dealr, then it doesn't matter whose RAM you purhase. I purchase mine from DataMem while others prefer OWC.

Hi, I need help and advice. Basically me and my ex partner both had iphones and synced it with the same computer under the same ID. We split i have a new laptop and now it keeps asking for the old ID or it'll erase my apps bought on theold account.

Hi, I need help and advice. Basically me and my ex partner both had iphones and synced it with the same computer under the same ID. We split up and now im trying to get all my apps and info onto my new laptop with a new account but it keeps asking me for the old apple ID which she is still using and she changed the password. i tried backing it up but still nohing. When i try to back up purchased items being apps etc its keeps asking for the old one. help

See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. But you'll still need the password.
Once you have the computer authorized to use the account she could change the password again to stop you buying apps on her card (assuming it's not on yours!). It would lock you out of upgrading them too but they should work unless she uses the deathorize all feature.
It depends on how amicable the split is...

Need a little help new to mac

Need a little help I'm new to Mac.. i have had my ibook for over a year now and i like it a lot, but some times my usb post dies on my for a couple days maybe weeks. Ill have my ipod connected and when i go to plug in a flash drive. It doesn't detect my ipod anymore and my usb port don't work. it says that they were "removed improperly" and now they are not working again..i have tried to reinstall the whole os again and that doesn't work i don't have the hardware test disk so i don't know what could be the problem i know its not the logic board is there any test i can do to it to find out the problem its an ibook late 2001... there is no reset button on it. i tried to hold in the space bar and now when i boot up i get prompt to this screen that shows the world and then a folder with a ? mark but then after a few sec it boots right up im a mess need some help

+it says that they were "removed improperly"+
You have to go to the iPod's icon on your computer (or the flash drive's icon), select it and eject it there before removing it. Otherwise, data can be corrupted and/or lost. Repeatedly removing it without ejecting it from the desktop can cause it not to be recognized any longer.
If your iBook is a "late 2001" model. It should have a reset button. Check out the chart here to make sure which model iBook you have:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1772?viewlocale=en_US
+i get prompt to this screen that shows the world and then a folder with a ? mark but then after a few sec it boots right up+
It's trying to find a network volume from which to boot.
Once it's booted up, go to System Preferences > Startup Disk, and select your Mac OS X startup volume. Then close System Preferences. The next time you start up, it should start up without looking for a network volume.

Greetings, I need a little help. I have a WRT54G Wirele...

Greetings,
I need a little help. I have a WRT54G Wireless Router, and it worked well for years with my Alcatel DSL Modem (Bellsouth/ATT). The modem went out and it was replaced with Westell Modem. When I bypass the router I have no problem connecting to the Internet, however when I connect the router--no connection. I thought it would not be a problem swapping the modem out. I am running XP with Norton Internet Security and Anti-virus. I have disabled Norton and do not believe that to be the problem. Do I have to reconfigure the router? If so, can I do it with the original install CD? (I am disabled and the original CD/instructions/box is in the attic and I cannot get it easily.) I have read several different threads, but they do not specifically address my problem. Any assistance is appreciated. Eddy

Many Westell modems are actually "modem-routers" and they use the same 192.168.1.1 address space as your WRT54G. This is the root of your problems.
Try the settings at this URL.
http://www.dslreports.com/faq/6323
Note that the "WAN" port on the BEFSR41 in the example is the same as the "Internet" port on your WRT54G.
Please let me know whether or not this worked for you.

Need a help / advice & guidance whether to switch on my Career in SAP-PM from core industries after spending my 09 years of experience in Core field that to in Maintenance.

Hello Adviser /expert,
Need a help / advice & guidance whether to switch on my Career in SAP-PM from core industries after spending my 09 years of experience in Core field that to in Maintenance.
As now i m thinking to do SAP-PM certified course from authorized SAP partner in India that to Pune.
So any one can suggest authorized SAP partner in India that to Pune.
My introduction (About myself): - I had done my Diploma in Mechanical and had total 09 years of experience in Mechanical Maintenance field that to in different manufacturing company such as Steel, Auto Ancillary & Cotton plant.
Whether its right decision to change my career from Core sector to SAP-PM..??
Is there very good scope in SAP-Pm for me after 09 years of Core Maintenance field..???
Guide me
Warm Regard
Ravin

Ravindra,
SAP PM is very niche Module, very in demand module, at the same time, being niche, getting into it and getting 1 implementation is also difficult.
your decision of joining SAP authorized training is the best option, as a certified consultant, you have more chances to get a break as fresher and you can continue working on it, else it would waste of your intellectual energy.
you just search sap.com training or email them or chat with them, they will give u the training center details,
but very less training classes are available. Try you will get lucky soon

Need a little help with dial setup on CME

I've got a CME I'm using for testing and I think I need a little help figuring out the proper config to get the system to accept numbers I dial and have those numbers be passed on to an Avaya system (including the leading 9 for ARS in Avaya) via H.323 IP trunks.   I have it working well for internal 5 digit extension calls across the H.323 trunks and I also have it working well for some types of outside calls that gets passed on to the Avaya and then the Avaya dials the call out to the PSTN.   My only real problem is, I can't figure out how to correctly configure CME to examine the digits I'm dialing and only send the digits once I'm finished dialing....not as soon as it sees an initial match.
What's happening is this. I can dial local numbers in my area as 7 digits or 10 digits. The phone company doesn't yet force us to dial area code and number for local calls (10 digits). I can still dial 7 digits.   But...if I put an entry in CME that looks like this....
(by the way, the 192.168.1.1 IP is not the real IP address, that's just an example, but the rest of this entry is what I really have entered in CME)
dial-peer voice 9 voip
description Outside 7 Dig Local Calls Via Avaya
destination-pattern 9.......
session target ipv4:192.168.1.1
dtmf-relay h245-alphanumeric
no vad
...Then it will always try to dial out immediately after seeing the first 8 digits I dial (9 plus the 7 digit number I called)...even though I have a speicifc entry in the system that accounts for calls to 9 plus area code 513. I would have assumed that if I put the specific entry in for 9513....... it would see that and wait to see if I was actually dialing something to match 9513....... instead of 9.......   Understand what I mean?   Because 9513....... is more specific than 9....... but it still tries to send the call out immediately after seeing the first 8 digits I dialed.
dial-peer voice 9513 voip
description Outside 10 Dig Local Calls Via Avaya
destination-pattern 9513.......
session target ipv4:192.168.1.1
dtmf-relay h245-alphanumeric
no vad
...BUT...here's the interesting thing. If I trace the 10 digit call in Avaya, I see that the number being presented to the Avaya PBX is only the first 7 digits of the number....not the full 10 digits...BUT I see a few more of the digits I dialed (like the 8th and 9th digits) after the call is already setup and sent to the PSTN. It's like the CME is trying to send the rest of the 10 digits I dialed, but at that point it's already too late.   It setup the call as a 7 digit call (9 plus 7 digits), not 10 digit like I wanted.
I'm more familiar with how to setup dialing in the Avaya via ARS. My background is Avaya, not Cisco, so this dial-peer config is a little difficult for me until I understand the reasoning of how it examines the numbers and what I should do to make it wait for me to finish dialing....or to tell the system that what I'm dialing will be a minimum or a certain amount of digits and maximum of a certain amount of digits, like the Avaya does. I just need some pointers and examples to look at :-)   I think I've almost got it....but I'm just missing something at the moment.
Just so you understand, the call flow should be like this: Cisco phone registered to CME > CME to Avaya via H.323 trunks > Avaya to PSTN via ISDN PRI trunks connected to Avaya. I have to be sure I send the 9 to the Avaya also, because 9 triggers ARS in the Avaya.
Thanks for your help

Here is a good document that explains how dial-peers are matched in the Cisco world:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk652/tk90/technologies_tech_note09186a008010fed1.shtml#topic7
In your case, it is variable length dial plan you are trying to implenent. To fix it, you need to add a T to force the system to wait for more digits to be entered if there is any.
dial-peer voice 9 voip
description Outside 7 Dig Local Calls Via Avaya
destination-pattern 9.......T
session target ipv4:192.168.1.1
dtmf-relay h245-alphanumeric
no vad
dial-peer voice 9513 voip
description Outside 10 Dig Local Calls Via Avaya

You can also configure the inter-digits timeout using the command timeouts interdigit under telephony-service.

Need a little help.... not major....but am unsure I have...

Need a little help.... not major....but am unsure I have the 2.4 GHz Wireless-G Broadband Router Model WRT54G version 2 I had bought some time ago (over year and a half) and never really had it hooked up since I have been moving from place to place. Now that I'm retired and staying in one place I'm ready to set up. I find myself having "several" power adaptors and not sure which is the correct one. Can anyone tell me if all the broadband routers had the Linksys name and/or logo on them? None of the adapters I have do. I want to use a proper adapter so as not to damage....are there any specs that would be helpful so that one of these adapters would work? Also I'm running WindowsXP Sorry to bother you folks with a dumb question as I'm sure there are others with far more important questions and concerns. Although I can't tell other than the end going into the unit fits, I do have one Class 2 Transformer which might be the one it's about 1 1/2 inches thick, about 2 inches tall with following written information: Model 49-12-1000D CUI Inc Input AC 120V 60Hz 20W Output DC12V 1000mA Appreciate any help you can give.....I believe my unit is an older one based on version so there may have been a "fatter" adapter then than now.

The power adapter output should be 12V, 0.5A(so 6W power rating)
