Is it possible to use my ram as dedicated video ram on windows 8 bootcamp

i have a mid 2014 MacBook pro
8gb of ram
dual core i5
intel iris 5100 graphics
im using my mac for gaming and need some dedicated video ram, I saw other computers like asus or Toshiba that were able to boot into windows bios and change there ram as dedicated ram, bootcamp has no bios so im wondering if there any third party applications of something built into bootcamp that would allow me to change a setting like that.
thanks in advance

How is graphics memory allocated in Windows 8/8.1*?
The Microsoft Windows 8/8.1 operating system adds improved support for graphics, simplifying graphics, memory configuration, and management. As part of this new graphics memory management, the Intel® HD Graphics Driver leaves more of the graphics memory sizing to Windows 8/8.1.
W8+ report GPU memory differently as compared to OSX.
This is from a 2012 Intel HD4K running W8.1 64-bit. Notice the value of Adapter RAM versus what is reported in Screen Resolution.

How to use 4GB RAM on Windows 2000

Hi,
We use a third party application that parses weblogs and generates statistics.
The application gives OutOfMemory exception when the weblogs are hugs.
I am wondering if doing "editbin.exe /LARGEADDRESSAWARE java.exe" is going to help.
I have 4GB of physical RAM and I have /3GB in boot.ini in Windows 2000 Advanced Server.
Thanks,
Anurag.

How to use 4GB RAM on Windows 2000You are never going to use 4g on a windows box. The maximum addressable space is 4g. Normally the OS reserves 2g. Which means the maximum addressable space for an application is 2g.
It is supposed to be possible to increase the addressable space to 3 gig. And also increase the JVM space. However, there are risks. The following thread suggests a way to do this

No, because there is no Facetime app for Windows. You would need to use something that is available for Windows like Skype.

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

Is it possible to use iChat for non network video conferanci

Hi all,
I am looking for a little help please. This may be a fruitless question, but here it goes. I have a deaf 5th grader. TTY relay is essentially a thing of the past, and all of her friends are using 'video phone' to keep in touch. Anyway, today we got a Sorenson VRS router and video phone camera from her school, and it uses our existing cable internet connection. It is a BUNCH of stuff to hook up to an already crowded system. Does anyone have any ideas about the possibility of using iChat for my daughter to connect to her friends that will be using a different system?
Sorry if this is the question of a Neophyte. I am learning this deaf world as i go.
Thanks,
Chad

HI Randell,
Welcome to the Apple Discussion Pages.
I can tell you what iChat will do and maybe that will help.
iChat is an Instant Messaging service that uses the AIM servers. Therefore it is an AIM client.
AIM stands for AOL Instant Messenger.
You can join this service in several ways.
1) By having the AOL Package where AOL is your Internet provider (ISP)
2) By having the stand alone Application referred on these Discussions as the AIM application (comes in several version for PC, Macs, Linux and phones although each version varies as to what it can do - see side bar at link page).
3) Or by another application that is also an AIM client.
On a Mac that can be Proteus or AdiumX, there are PC AIM clients like Trillian.
Some AIM clients only do some of the features.
FOr instance iChat to PC AIM can Video (Moving Pics and Sound) but not Audio only.
iChat to Trillian on a PC can do both Video and Audio only if the PC end has the Pro version of Trillian ($25)
All clients can at least Text chat.
Many can send files and pics as well as Text chatting.
iChat can support Text chatting, Audio Chats and Video chats. Any USB Mic will work for Audio chats. Many Firewire DV Camcorders also work, many Firewire Webcams also work and some USB cams can be made to work with iChat.
To do this iChat needs a fast enough Mac (Procesor speed) and a fast enough interent Connection Speed.
In iChat 2 there is felt to be a better chance of success with connections to PC machines running either AIM (or the AOL package) or Trillian Pro for Video chats.
Text chats and Video chats can be done to the same Buddy (contact) at the same time. I would have thought this would be ideal as it provides a chance to practice lip reading skills and not missing any of the info.
What iChat 2 can not do.
1) Chat to other services like MSN or Yahoo!
2) Chat or link to Video phones.
3) Video to Mobile (cell) phones.
4) Connect to other Video conferencing services.
For more info start here
Faq on how to start in iChat
This tells you more about connecting to PCs.
More info than you might need at this stage http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/
What iChat 3 adds.
1) Upto 4 people in a Video chat
2) Access to the Jabber service (Another Instant Messaging service). This also can use Jabber servers that provide things called Tranports Gateways to other IM services which allows Text chatting to Buddiies on these services.

Is it possible to use the ram from a macbook in a iMac?

I am installing new ram on my Early 2011 Macbook Pro (2.3 Ghz., 13 inch, os x 10.9.4). Can I install the old ram from my Macbook Pro into a Mid-2011 iMac(2.7 Ghz., 27 inch, os x 10.9.4)? These links show the ram specs, and they look identical to me. iMac: How to remove or install memory MacBook Pro: How to remove or install memory

Yes, it is the same spec.
MacBook Pro:
Maximum Memory
16 GB (Actual) 8 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots
2 - 204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
iMac:

HYPERLINKS is it possible to use "_blank" to open PDF links in new window?

When I export my PDF from Numbers '08, is it possible to have my Hyperlinks open in a new window? Possibly using the "_blank" HTML function inside the URL dialog? Right now the links just replace the PDF.
*I've tried ex)*
http://www.website.com target="_blank"
http://www.website.com, target="_blank"
Those don't seem to work. Any ideas? Is this fixed in '09?
Thanks
PS - seems there should be a checkbox saying "open hyperlink in new window". Just makes sense.

Yes, true. But there is a way (in HTML) to force a link to open in a new window by including the "target=_blank" command. I'm wondering if Apple (or anyone else) has found a way to embed this into the "Hyperlink" property within Numbers? If not, it would be nice if future versions had a check box to include this option with a link in the Hyperlink property inspector.
Thanks for the feedback!

Bootcamp Dedicated Video RAM

Hey guys,
I have a 2012 13'' inch macbook pro. This has the Intel HD 4000 graphics card. I have upgraded it to 16GB of RAM and and have windows 8.1 installed on a bootcamp partition.
Currently on my windows side it says that I only have 32mb of dedicated video ram. On the apple side it says I have 512mb. I would like to increase the dedicated video RAM on the windows side to fully use what my computer is capable of. Normally in a windows computer to change your video RAM amount you go into the BIOS section, but since this is on a mac it doesn't have one.
I have been through about a billion tech support calls so here is a list of the things I've tried.
What I've tried:
     1. Using Refind to access BIOS on this.
               -The new version doesn't seem to do much for windows as the only bootup option I am given is to bootup normally
     2. Force the intel HD graphics driver 15.33.30.64.3958 to download and install
               -Forcing it still doesn't have it run properly. I've contacted intell and they say their drivers don't always work on laptops
     3. Using parallels
              -Unfortunately parallels runs extremely slowly when you're trying to use 512 mb of dedicated video ram for some reason
Any help, or a direction to go in would be greatly appreciated.

You may not need to do all this. Please read http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-033984.htm .

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

Is it possible to use a USB hub on a new MacBook Pro with Maverickss?

I have used a powered Q-Store USB2 hub on first my old trust MacBook with the 13 inch screen running System X.6.8 for years; then I switched it over to my new 13 In. MacBook Pro (non retina) with Mavericks X.9.2 and it still works great. It is powered and seems to run a full load including USB hard drives, camera when wanted, cooling pad with fan, printer/scanner/copier combo, charging a MP3 player or Galaxy S4, apple mouse and keyboard, all with no trouble and no drop outs. I let an old Firewire 400 or 800 hard disk stay with my old Macintosh for now as it mirrors it, but sometimes hook it up with no problem except it gets hot.
I have a new USB3 WD Passport 3 hard drive and a 32 gb USB 3 memory stick. I wanted to put these on a USB3 hub and use one of the ports for the faster items. I can run either my WD My Passport 3 Gb drive that I use to mirror my internal drive as long as it is alone. I can also plug a 32 gb A Data memory stick in fine alone except things get a bit snug, and there's no more room on the USB 2 hub for the memory stick. If I do not use a hub for the one port I have to either use the Hard Drive or the memory stick, not both. I was using the memory stick to port files back and forth between my old and new computers at least for a while. The USB 3 peripherals work reliably when plugged in alone, but the moment a hub gets in the picture even if only one item is plugged into it, things drop in and out. It does not matter if it is the powered USB 3 hub or the non-powered Anker USB 3 4 port hub. The USB 2 items simply work but the USB 3 ones only work alone. I have looked at the power specifications. It seems like one hard drive uses all of the power the hub can put out.
It looks like the USB 3 is rather limited on Macintosh computers is all I can conclude. There may be extra speed, but what good is it if you can only run one peripheral at a time? It seems like even a hub stresses it unless it is a hub and a memory stick or two. I even changed to system settings to keep my hard drives from going to sleep, but still it drops out randomly if hooked to a hub and runs perfectly when plugged in directly. I had hoped to use it for an emergency start up disk if needed, though I must say the rather incredible StoreEdge Micro SDX card works great for that purpose and seems to belong.
That old USB 2 hub, even with a smaller one plugged in with 2 portable hard drives still works flawlessly on the other port and never drops out.
I have not tested the Firewire 800 port long enough to decide, except it gets hot if it reads very long.. The old Firewire 800 / USB 2 hard disk has more than one port on it unlike so many today. I had to use a Firewire 800 to 400 cable for my old computer. Anyway it works in either computer and stays mounted even when asleep.
Is it possible to use a USB 3 hub with more than one peripheral on a 2012-2013 13 inch MacBook Pro computer with Mavericks? If so which one works? It cannot be good for hard disks to randomly disconnect and reconnect without being dragged to the trash.

no you can't - you have to upgrade it to 16GB yourself.
you can get your RAM from newegg.com, macsales.com.
the RAM you need is 16GB (8GBX2) DDR3 1600MHz DDR3.
upgrading the RAM yourself will not void your warranty.
you need a #00 Phillips Screwdriver - 10 screws at the bottom - 7 long ones and 3 short ones - just remember where they go when you put the screws back in.

Is it possible to use an mSata drive as the primary drive?

Greeting everyone,
I recently bought an HP ENVY Phoenix 810 whiich comes with the MS-7826 (Kaili) motherboard which has an mSata slot with a 16gb msata ssd in it, but it's only being used as a cache. So my question is, is it possible to use the mSata drive as as the main bootable drive along with 3 other hard drives? I'm planning to install a 256 msata ssd along with 3 4tb hd, but want to use the msata as the main one. Is it possible, if so how?
I've come across a few forums where they were having problems with the same thing where they were able to use it as the main drive but as soon as they installed the original bootable drive they system will not boot since the drive didn't have an operating system installed in it and it wont boot from the mSata even though the os was installed onto the mSata. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

JCCR510, welcome to the forum.
The mSATA drive in the computer can only be used as cache and not as a boot drive. This is the way that HP has it setup.
You certainly can buy a SATA SSD and install it. As you can see in my signature below, I have Samsung EVO 840 SSD in my 810-135qe. It works great.

Is it possible to use External Defiantion in Interface Mapping?

Hi Experts,
Is it possible to use External defination in Interface mapping? I used this ED in Message Mapping but I am unable to use the same ED for Interface Mapping?
In order to create Interface Mapping I need to create Message Interface and use it in Interface Mappiong?
Thanks
Rajeev

Hi Rajeev,
External definitions is for importing avaliable external DTD,XSD or WSDLs instead of creating them in XI environment maually by creating elements under datatypes,assigning them too Message types and Message Interfaces etc.Where as you fo for Imported Archives to import externally done Mapping programs like JAVA,ABAP and XSLT mappings but not define Mesage interfaces.
So you can create message interface import appropriate External definition into it.Later use it during interface mapping.Hope you understand it.
Thanks,

Can I use same RAM in a 12" PB G4 as in a 15" PB G4?

My PB4 died and I may be replacing it with a used 12" for occasional use. I would like to upgrade the RAM using the RAM from my PB 4 15". Is this possible?
Second, are the batteries interchangeable between the 2 models?
Thank you.

You didn't say which Powerbook 15" you have ... memory from the original PB G4 is PC100 memory which you wouldn't use in the later PB 12" which uses PC2700 memory. You can check the memory specs at http://support.apple.com/specs/#powerbook for both systems to see if they fit.
My guess is that the batteries aren't interchangeable, however, I haven't tried. Perhaps someone else can confirm or deny.
