Lower the RAM's Memory Timing to something Less Aggressive...? MSI KM2M Combo-L

(Not sure where would be the best place to post, so this question is posted here and in the BIOS Thread... If possible, could the Moderators please leave BOTH as to assure a response... I'd appreciate it... Thank You..!!!)
MSI KM2M Combo-L (601-6738-010)
I’m running into some application errors, and the main suggestion is to lower the RAM’s Memory Timing to something Less Aggressive...
The problem with that is I don’t see any option in the MSI KM2M Combo-L Phoenix 6g BIOS...
Basically, I’m trying to “Underclock”... NOT “Overclock”...
Any ideas...??
(I tried “searching” the forums, but I’m not finding anything, other than people asking “Why would you want to do that...??” Those types of responses aren’t very useful...)

Hi
The KM2M Combo L bios under Dram Clock/Drive Control allows some adjustment of the memory timings. I suggest that you run it with the Dram Clock set by Spd (default). If you still have errors, run memtest for a couple of hours to check your memory.

MSI-KM2M Combo-L (6738) Ram Question

Can this motherboard support pc2700 ram. Everywhere I go I see that people use PC2100 even when trying to buy some that's what they show will work on this motherboard. In the booklet though it says it can support pc2700, but I have been having problems with it. I have two 512MB Sticks PC2700 333, they each work fine by themselves and each of the two ddr slots are good. I am running windows xp and everytime I turn on the comp with both in, it will start up and then before it goes to the desktop it will restart. Sometimes it says I am missing a config file in windows32. I know that you have to update your bios for winx9 and winME, but I am using xp and it should be able to support both of them. I do not know if this board has problems with pc2700. Any help would be apprieciated.

I find the same problem with 2 512MB DDR DIMMS. Seems to hang in NT and blue screen. Don't know what that guy is talking about voltage settings in bios when my bios has no such settings to adjust DDR voltage.
Very odd problem. If I put SDRAM in the motherboard it works fine. But not 2 512MD ddrs? Go figure. Anyone know the answer to this? Is this a bios bug?

Monitory does not power up after memory timing changed

(See my sig for spects) I tried changing memory timings to 2-3-3-6. The last thing I tried was mem volt from 2.55 to 2.75 and the TI/T2 Memory timing to T1
I hit save and exit and the computer seem to start but no graphics?. ??? SO I had to flip th PSU switch and when I flipped it back (20 seconds later) the computer seemed to start but still no graphics? I never hit the front power button either?!
I had tweaked some of the other values with no problem earlier today. (tras, CAS delay ect).
One other note: I have had to turn off the computer with the PSU switch since 1.4? BIOS flash I did last year. I read something about RAID Firmware version ? (1 year ago) that came with that BIOS causing hangs ect.
I may use this as an excuse to buy Vista today and start from scratch although I really don't want too.

OK. I reset the CMOS and windows loaded ok but now my RAID +1 array is gone. I see addition HD letters in My Computer now. When I entered bios and change it to NVraid I got a windows error saying it could not load because of missing or corrupt file? I tried a repair but it said it did not work.
I do see the healthy raid array when the system Posts. I did not click the restore optimal defaults yet. Maybe I will have to do that now.

MSI Neo4-F & Athlon64 3700+ E6 1T/2T Memory Timing missing in BIOS

Hi. This is my first post. I need help with my new MSI Neo4-F motherboard. The problem is that 1T/2T Memory Timing is not present in the latest BIOS v.1D. MSI website says that my CPU (San Diego 3700+ E6) is supported by the motherboard but there is no way to control the command rate of the memory thru the BIOS. So far I've been using A64 Tweaker to change command rate to 1T from Windows. Previously I used this CPU with the same memory Kingston KHX3200AK2/1G for another motherboard (MSI Diamond Plus) and I didn't have any problems being able to change the 1T/2T memory timing settings thru the BIOS. I wrote couple of e-mails to MSI TEchnical support but i didn't get a response. Does anyone have any ideas that would help me resolve this issue? Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance!

its supposed to be there, i have a 3500+ and a 3800+ and its there, but why does it depend on the cpu if the 1t is there anyway, ?, its there with the 1a 1b 1c and 1d, in dram configuration, second auto put it to manual and 1t, youre supposed to gain a 4% performance, which youre not going to see at all.
Sorry to disagree with your 4% figure but using the 1T setting on the A64s makes a huge difference.
I did a quick check on my current rig using 3dmark 03 and the difference in CPU score was 485 vice 554 making an improvement of over 12%!
I know it's not the best of tests to use for this, but it was quick and points to the "noticable" improvement I've found while doing OC benchmarking with a variety of programs.
Not trying to be argumentative, but I didn't want anybody reading this thread in the future to dismiss the "1T" option as being unimportant.

When playing games on facebook, I often get the message "virtual memory too low, is being increased" Is there something I can do to clean out the "virtual memory" to avoid this?

As mentioned in my question above, it happens usually during playing games. I wondered if there were someway to clean out the virtual memory, as opposed to it "increasing" continually and overloading my memory in general. You are speaking with a computer novice for the most part, so I am unfamiliar with a lot. I do do updates and general maintenance on the computer, but is that enough for this issue?

Physical memory is the memory that is installed on your computer as real memory. To be able to run programs that require more memory and more programs at the same time (via time sharing and task switching) it is also possible to move (swap) currently not needed code and data to disk to make room for other programs and data. The total memory available for programs is the Virtual Memory.
You can check the Virtual Memory settings here: Control Panel > System > Advanced > Performance > Settings (Advanced tab)<br />
Windows can manage more memory then is physical available and that memory is stored in a page file on your hard drive.
If the size of that file is not large enough and all available memory is in use then you get the Virtual Memory is low warning.
Make sure that you have at least 1 GB or the recommended setting for the Virtual Memory.
If you have less than 1 GB physical memory installed on your computer then if possible add more memory.

Is this a low memory issue, or something worse?

I'm currently running Logic 9.1.6 on a new imac 27" with 16GB RAM. Just about all my libraries are running from a 4TB RAID system. It's not ideal for my purposes ( certainly compared to my "normal" studio setup), but I was delghted with just how much this computer can handle with that amount of memory onboard. However, there is a fly in the ointment, which I hope someone may explain.
Generally, I'm running a very large orchestral/"filmscore" template. Most of this is being hosted by Kontakt, with a few other bits and pieces thrown in: softsynths, Omnispher, Stylus,etc. But chiefly, it's all orchestral. When currently fully loaded, the Konatakt memory server is showing around 5.5 GB RAM used, which is pretty fantastic considering how much orchestral stuff is loaded up. I'm also working, on average, with around three instances of Altiverb, with groups of Kontakt instruments sent to whatever reverb is appropriate. The output has a simple, single Waves L2 on it. But, and here's the BIG but, despite the fact that I'm well within the RAM limit of my 16 GB. Logic, combined with the OS, is totalling around 13.5 BG of RAM which seems excessive,correct me if I'm incorrect on that. Worse, sometimes Logic starts to behave very oddly, particularly in terms of its GUI. Sometimes, if I choose to load up a couple more instruments, and then begin scrolling around the GUI seems to "collapse" in on itself and tracks start to "merge and dissolve", like the OS is having serious trouble in redrawing the graphics of Logic. Sometimes, also if I launch a Kontakt instance in this condition, the slots appear empty. In fact, I've evn had them actually unload entire 16 slots of instruments from Kontakt, I presume in an effort for Logic or the sytem to conserve RAM, which I find puzzling.
If left to continue, I usually end up with what I would describe as a damaged song. At that point even clicking on the mouse once send this brilliant white flash all over the screen, each time I click. Eventually, Logic will "collapse" and crash, and I know then that further attempts to relaunch this song will result in the same metling graphics and crashing, ultimately rendering the song unusable. In the past I've resorted to exporting all the data as a MIDI file and had to import to a fresh template, which has proved hit and miss.
I'm assuming this is a memory related issue, yet I see that even with a fully loaded song such as this, I still have around 3.5 GB RAM spare. More than enough of a cushion to avoid such weird issues as I describe. Or no?!
Can anyone throw some light on this, please? Is it a RAM/redraw/ graphics issue, due to pushing the memory limits, or something more sinister?
Thanks.

OK, I thought you might be interested to read these results. I switched to 64 and rebooted the computer. Now, with the exact same song, the memory used is appromately 9.5 GB, instead of 13.6 GB! an impressive difference.
I haven't yet used this in anger, so I don't know what will happen regarding third parties. I did note, however, that upon launching Logic for the first time in 64 bit, the AU validation concerned itself with 30 potential problem plugins, as opposed to the full extent of them, which is considerably more. No bad results came back from the scan, although this doesn't mena I'll not experience issues.
When you said the experience was not great for 32 bit plugins in 64 bit, what exactly did you mean? Crashes? Plugins simply not workng at all?
Tomorrow I'll get to work like this and see what happens. I have to say I'm encouraged.
Now if only I could switch to Lion and all my plugins were 64 bit..........

How do I determine if the memory problems are with my imac and not the RAM?

I've heard of some vague problems with intel imacs and their memory slots. I'm about to replace (for the 3rd time) RAM, and think I need to test further to see if the problem is with my imac and not the RAM. Right now I put back in the original 2-512 sticks that came with the imac, and the rember test is only showing 594mb (odd amt!) testing OK. But, in "about my mac" it will show as 1gb.
Problems I've had with each set of RAM: occasional KP's, excessive spinning beachballs, sudden closing of apps (esp. if I have several apps running), won't fax usually (will hear a fax tone instead of a dial tone at the onset), disappearing documents section under my username.
I bought this imac refurbed thru the apple store last fall: 2.16 C2D 20" imac
Any ideas before I have to separate myself from my imac to send it in??

Hi Toodles
The pin strips on the new modules maybe a little thicker than your original modules, and it's going to take more force to seat them properly. If the new Memory Specifications are correct I would try them again. Slide them in untill they stop, then push real hard untill you feel them seat into place.
I've never seen a report about an odd amount of ram shown. If reinstalling the ram modules does not solve your issue, and may be a indication that there is something wrong with one of the slots.

How to Copy a value of a String to the RAM memory?

Hi there,
I was wondering how to copy a String into the ram memory (consider you're doing right click on THIS word and choose 'Copy'; the String's Value will be to the ram memory for a later Paste).
In my application, a user has a table and he right click on it and choose Copy. I get the value of the item (Obj) but face dificulties to add it to RAM.
my code looks like this:
          if (obj!=null) //inside I have the value (say: 12345 --< Obj.toString)
               Action copyAction = TransferHandler.getCopyAction();
               int id = ActionEvent.ACTION_PERFORMED;
               String name = (String) copyAction.getValue(Action.NAME);
               long l = EventQueue.getMostRecentEventTime();
               copyAction.actionPerformed(new ActionEvent(XXXXXXX, id, name, l ,0));
                        ///what comes in the XXXXXXX
          }I tried, instead of the XXXXXXX, to put Obj or Obj.toString but...nothing.
Anyone?

Thanks,
should implement ClipboardOwner
and do this:
              StringSelection stringSelection = new StringSelection( obj.toString() );
              Clipboard clipboard = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard();
              clipboard.setContents( stringSelection, this );
@Override
     public void lostOwnership(Clipboard clipboard, Transferable contents)
          //do nothing!
     }

No need to type in all caps - we HEAR you!
I would take a look at the internal drives offered by both Crucial (click the link "Internal Hard Drives Now Available") and OWC. I would stay away from Western Digital drives as they seem to have problems on a number of Mac models.
You can also shop for RAM at Crucial and OWC - just select the System Scanner tab at the Crucial website to find out which memory is right for your machine.
Good luck,

I just got a MBP Retina. At it's highest resolution, everything is tiny. The olny way to get things to a readable size is to lower the rez, but that defeats the purpose of having it. Am I missing something?

It doesn't defeat the purpose to lower the resolution. When you choose the size you can read, the extra pixels are used to make the text and graphics more detailed, closer to the high print resolution humans have been accustomed to reading on paper for hundreds of years. That is the difference compared to the coarse screen resolution of a conventional (non-Retina) screen.

I keep getting the blue start up screen. Am I low on ram?

I keep getting the blue start up screen. Am I low on ram?

hey
i am unsure what is causing your blue screen but it won't be because you are low on RAM,
RAM is seperate to your hard drive space and you will always have the same amount of RAM unless you upgrade it, if it was a problem with the amount of ram you had you would of always had those problems if that makes sence.
try booting off the Disk that came with your mac, or the recovery partition if you are on lion, then run a disk repair from there to see if that helps.

If you can buy from Crucial, Amazon or macsales (OWC), I would (I know that Crucial and OWC ship internationally but I don't know about Amazon). Both have lifetime guarantees for their products and should not be affected at all during shipping.
Amazon has a better price on the Crucial RAM than even Crucial, by the way.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Of course. Corsair RAM is compatible with your Mac and the Early 2011 MacBook Pro supports 16 GB of memory. Make sure you buy the correct memory for your MacBook Pro. See > http://www.corsair.com/us/memory-by-product-family/mac-memory-upgrades.html

I'm thinking about purchasing a 21.5" iMac. The base model comes with 8GB of RAM, and the RAM is not user-upgradeable down the road. Is 8GB enough memory or should I upgrade to 16GB?

I'm thinking about getting a 21.5" iMac which comes with 8GB of RAM. Unfortunately, the RAM is not user-upgradeable. Do you think 8GB is enough memory, or should I upgrade to 16GB? Besides internet surfing and email, I like to play flash games and listen to internet radio. Occasionally, I might want to stream a movie. I would greatly appreciate any advice you could give me.

For what you list, 8GB should be adequate. I ran with 4GB without any issue for over a year in my iMac i7 before I added RAM, primarily for running Win 7 via Bootcamp.
The tasks that need a lot of RAM are typically video editing/production, heavy-duty photo manipulation (not iPhoto or PS Elements), and professional page layout like Adobe Creative Suite. If you think that, down the road, you may want to delve into those fileds with this computer, by all means get the extra RAM.
I like to play flash games
I didn't try a lot of Flash games while I still had 4GB RAM but those I tried ran without issue and without causing a non-trivial number of page-outs

Can I upgrade the ram memory of my Macbook air from 4gb to 8gb?

Anybody knows if I can upgrade the ram memory of a Macbook Air from 4gb to 8gb?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The memory in the MacBook Air is soldered onto the logic board, so you can't upgrade RAM after buying your computer. It's important to buy your MacBook Air with the amount of memory you will use because you won't be able to install more RAM
