Maximum speed and amount of RAM for m7664x

I have an m7664x that I will be upgrading to 64-bit Windows 7 and I want to upgrade the RAM.
According to the product specs, it has the A8M2N-LA (NodusM3) motherboard with 4 DIMMs. On that page, it says that it supports up to 4 GB of RAM at 667 MHz.
Now, I've come across a few posts here and elsewhere that suggest that it can handle more (up to 8 GB) and higher RAM speeds (PC6400 / 800 MHz) and have it recognized and utilized.
Can anyone confirm that it can support up to 8 GB of RAM and with higher speeds?
This question was solved.

Two weeks ago I installed 8GB DDR2-800 into my stock m7664x and all is still working fine. The BIOS setup shows 800MHz, and the memory test passes with no issues. For the record:

Best Amount Of RAM For Web / Media Designer?

Hello Everyone,
First post and jumping right in.
I'm moving to a MAC permanently and this will be my first purchase (iMac 27" Quad Core). Can anyone tell me the most suitable RAM upgrade I'll be needing? My budget really doesn't allow for the 16Gig right now unless it's really needed.
I do run mostly the Adobe CS line sometimes 3-5 programs at once (Photoshop - Dreamweaver - and most memory hogging-ly Premiere). Soon I will be getting into Final Cut Pro.
Needless to say aside from a myriad of other issues performance and lag-time is why I'm jumping ship from PC.
Does everyone think I'll be pretty satisfied going with 8Gig of RAM to start or given the above info am I wasting time not going straight for the 16Gig?
I've spoken with a few designers and they've told me while the Mac Pro is incredible - it's overkill for what I need storage and ...well...everything else wise and the common saying has been - get the iMac and upgrade the ram.
So I humbly ask you experts. To summarize my wordiness above
8 or 16? What are your thoughts as well as any other great add ons that could be of use to a designer with a large check from a recent project burning a hole right through his pocket?!
=)

I would recommend adding 2 x 4 GB for a total of 12 GB; you can then see if that will be enough. Please note: there have been posts here regarding problems of the new iMacs when adding third party RAM for a total of 16 GB; there have been no problems reported if the 16 GB is OEM RAM (such as Samsung or Hynix, which is what Apple has been using). So, if you intend to keep the original 2 x 2 GB, then I'd suggest adding 8 GB.
That is what I did; I do a fair amount of video editing and the iMac is doing just fine with 12 GB. Also, iMacs are quite finicky about their RAM - do not buy any brand "value" RAM - stick with quality RAM from reputable vendors with lifetime warranties, such as OWC (macsales.com) or Crucial (or Samsung which will be more expensive).

The amount of ram for g4/800

ok so i took my g4 imac to our local mac shop, and tried to get up to 1gb of ram, when i went to the "about this mac" it said it had 512mb so i had to get another 512mb for 1 gig. no big deal. so i go to the store and when i get it back it only has 768mb, and they said it really only had 256mb of ram for some reason. and they said you cannot get 1gb of ram. is this true? ive been looking around these forums but nothing seems to clearly answer my question?

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
The iMac G4 is a funny beast when it comes to RAM. There are two RAM slots one called "user-accessible" and the other "factory-accessible". Apple installed all the RAM originally ordered in the "factory-accessible" slot so you would have 128MB, 256MB or 512MB installed in there.
The "user-accessible" slot would be empty for users to upgrade at a later date.
Click to enlarge.
I suspect that you had a 256MB in the 'factory' slot and a 256MB in the 'user' slot when the shop upgraded they only replaced the 'user' with a 512MB to give you that 768MB total. For anyone who knows iMac G4s, upgrading the 'factory' slot is not difficult I took the photo above for example.
I hope the store didn't charge you a fitting charge for the user-slot installation and it's a two minute job that anyone is capable of. The factory slot installation is probably a thirty-minute job and is more complex.
To confirm my suspicions have a look in  menu > About this Mac > More Info...:
Check you have a 256MB and 512MB.

What is the best PC platform for LR 4? Especially optimum video card and amount of RAM?

I have a high end i7 Windows 7 64bit PC with 12GB ram and 3TB disks - some in RAID 0, yet LR sliders lag and image scrolling/rendering can take up to 5 seconds, which makes editing hundreds of images in a session a pain.
I am using an ATI Radeon video card and 27" monitor (2560x1440). I am prepared to buy any graphics card or even switch to an iMac, but want snappy LR performance.
What is the recommended setup, please?

Running LR in a window, approx 1400 x 900 made the sliders responsive and smooth!
My system drive, which is also the LR Catalog is RAID 0 and is 250MB/sec access, which is as good as I can get with SSD
I have an AT Radeon HD4800 video with latest driver
I am running LR 4.1 RC2
I have tried exiting all non-essential programs, including AV (with internet disconnected) - made no difference
How much would I spend on a video card upgrade? Up to $750, however from what I am reading, LR doesn't use GPU acceleration so this is a waste of time and money.
I am going to try my i-7 MacBook Pro, driving the 27" monitor, as a comparison, and report back.
Thanks for all the responses so far. If you can add anything, please do so.
Are there any configuration guidlines to make LR quicker, anywhere?
My other band-aid is to manually transfer my project's raw files to the HDD, and then pre-view them with a fast browser, to weed out the rejects, before importing the rest into LR for editing and filing.
I looked some good programs, for this:
PhotoMechanic ($150)
Seems to be the ultimate, and is both Mac and Windows, however price is difficult to justify.
Breeze Browser Pro ($70)
Fast but pricy compared to LR with all its features, but may be a goer, considering the time it saves.
Fast Picture Viewer ($40 + $10 for code pack)
Also very fast, but no tree folder view, which I find limiting. Price is getting better.
XNView (Free)
Good option. Bit slower than the paid apps, but still quite good.
FastStone Image Vewer (Free)
Comparable to XNView, just a tad slower, but seems that development has been suspended. I did see a 64bit codepac though, which I hadn't look ed at.
There are too many more to list. Do any of you guys use anything like this?

In this case, I cant strongly enough recommend LOTS of ram; you wont need a fast hard drive if you can hold the whole high-res image in core I would also suggest you consider a trinatron monitor at 18" or so; so you can have purty 1600x1200 images (except for the dead line which trinatrons have) to play with; might make keeping cost under control difficult, but they *are* the only eyes you have got
Your point about real time virus scanning and loading large files (later) is well taken; in light of this I cant fault your choice of hard drive (although there is a 72GB version available at the same speed, not cheap tho.).

IMO, dropping $30 from the graphic card and $40 from hard disk will not save that much to get critical component or get higher one, if i do so i can add $30 to get another stick of 512 ram, but i rather keep the HD and GC, and for now the capacity is not an issue for me
Life in the US is good if such components are cheap; over here is Aus the high end graphics and disks are still BLOODY expensive whilst ram is relatively cheap.
Indeed, going from the drive and gfx card you have to a 80gb ata-4 and a more basic gfx card would save ~250 AUD; which is another stick of 512MB PC3700.
Lucky you.
Anyway, in light of your comments, I cant strongly enough recommend RAM; but your other components seem good (I tend toward HP printers down here, but that relates to print reliability at high ambient temp and ink costs); Dont forget a GOOD PSU (many discussions about such, I recommend Antec TruPower 480W).
Of course, I cant resist recommending you go linux, openoffice and GIMP (photoshop workalike); that would save you a LARGE chunk of cash to spend on better hardware (about ~$1200 bucks if you planned to buy XPpro, OfficeXP and Photoshop down here).
err!

Which MAC Pro graphics card and how much RAM for FCE HD usage?

I plan on purchasing a MAC Pro afer MacWorld Expo next month. Any recommendations for a specific graphics card that would complement my usage of Final Cut Express HD 3.5?
Also, should I increase my RAM? I currently use 2 gb of RAM on my G4. Will I see greater productivity if I bump it up to 4gb of RAM on the MAC Pro or will 2gb suffice which I had planned to increase it to from the standard 1gb supplied?
PowerMAC G4 dual 1.42ghz Mac OS X (10.4.7) 2gb RAM, 3-LaCie FW800 external drives
PowerMAC G4 dual 1.42ghz Mac OS X (10.4.7) 2gb RAM, 3-LaCie FW800 external drives

Any of the graphics cards that Apple sells for the Mac Pro will be fine. Personally, I'd suggest choosing one with at least 128MB video RAM, 256MB would be better.
2GB RAM in your Mac Pro will be more than enough for general purpose video editing. Going to 4GB will give you more oomph for RealTime effects and somewhat for rendering but you won't see a big difference in regard to capturing or general editing in the timeline.

Apps effects on speed and reliability

Hi guys!
I've recently purchased an used MacBook Pro (it's "born" in April 2009) with Snow Leopard.
I've always used Windows and I know that many programs will slow down the computer and might cause some problems in terms of stability and reliability.
I want to use my Mac for music, recording and on a live stage, so I need MAXIMUM speed and reliability, I don't want a kernel panic to show up right in the middle of a song!!
Moreover, I was told from my trusted "technician" to keep just the necessary apps and nothing more!
Besides the built-in apps, I only have Logic Pro and Mainstage for music and Virtualbox for the rest, with Windows 7 and all the programs like Office, Skype, Dropbox and so on..
What I wanted to ask is: How do apps effect a Mac?
I know there is no registry like in Windows, and the apps are just "folders" I can delete when I want, but I really don't know really much about this and I don't want to mess up my laptop!!
Thanks for your help!!
=Luca=

Nonono I must have been misunderstood!
The machine runs flawlessly, it has 8 gigs of RAM and it can run a VM while running Logic or Mainstage without noticing any slowing up!
I'm not worrying about the speed of the apps I might want to use, but about how they will affect the stability and reliability of my Mac, for I have to use it in live situations.

Flash CS5 has a serious speed and crash issue.

Hi,
Works PC.
Dell dual core 3.5Gb ram PC. 1 yr old
Launch time CS5 1 minute.
Opening a file is 1min 10sec, saving a file ditto, copying from lib takes 50 secs, pasting to another library 1min, replace existing item, go yes and it crashes.
Install CS5 trial on home very powerful purpose built CAD and video workstation, expect it to fly, but get same times, at least it doesnt crash first attempt but still terribly slow at everything.
Second time I try this routine it also crashes upon replace existing item.
Try saving files as CS4, they open into CS4 in seconds, wow what a difference !!!!, CS5 obviously at fault as a program, but text on buttons is a mess. so thats no good. Thats text created in CS5 not displaying when saved as CS4. Is this program in fact any good ?
File size of source file is 26Mb, of destination is 21Mb. Source has about 14 movie clips, select these and make a movieclip of them, copy/paste it to library of destination and it crashes.
Works PC reinstall Flash twice trying to resolve this, assuming its the prog, still its got these speeds and it crashes when accepting movieClip into Library. Remove the busy layer and try again and it accepts it, still damn slow. The home PC survived the busy layer paste first time round, suggesting the Office PC is at fault. But now its also crashing.
Has Flash CS5 a complexity limit ? These are map layers with many vector shapes on one of the layers, quite a few on three others. That layer seems to be the straw that breaks the camels back. Is 26Mb beyond the limit. I even upped the preferences for memory to 3000kb but no better.
I see on the forums complaints of CS5 speed on saving, users reverting to CS4. I wanted CS4 but was forced to have CS5 as it had just come out. New progs are not the best move but Adobe bully you.
The speed and crashes are prohibitive for business work, 3 days trying to do a mornings work.
I thought it was the PC but others are finding CS5 slow and crashing. What have we here as a prog...useless ! Adobe. you need to fix this. I would go back to CS4, I have it on home PC, but CS5 into 4 has text issues, unless the Office PC used a font not on the home one.
Envirographics

I still cant realize how this buggy piece of **** could make to the market! After I switched to Flash CS5 it became true headache working on Flash projects:
- in constantly crashes on saving, working with library, exiting;
- trying to create file with FLVPlayback throws dozens of errors with references to the classes that even do not exist in configuration folder nor in preinstalled SWC files that I HAD to reference manually;
- publishing in CS4 files that are published properly in CS5 throws tons of errors even though both reference existing classes and are for the same FP10 version.
- saving FLA for CS4 creates huge source file and compiling this file in CS4 creates SWF with 10x size (~280kb in CS5 and ~2800kb in CS4).
Even though Flash CS5 has some nice improvements in interface and ActionScrip editor which I do like, in general it is a complete DISASTER and huge TIME WASTER!

Suggested RAM for weblogic 4.51?

Hi all,
for a "medium-sized" web application, with a requirement for 1000 concurrent
users, is there an optimal amount of RAM for the system? All weblogic says
is that 64MB is required to install, but
it says nothing about the RAM-vs-load curve. Is 100MB (what we currently
have) way too low?
Am I correct in thinking that, however much RAM we put into the system, we
should set the starting and max heap size to 80% of that amount in
startWebLogic.sh?
Thanks

IMac G5 fan always at maximum speed after booting into si...

IMac G5 fan always at maximum speed after booting into single-user mode in 10.4.3
Model: 1.6GHz iMac G5 with 10.4.3
I updated my iMac to 10.4.3, then booted into single-user mode to do some cleaning at the command-line level. I know, as others have discovered, that in single-user mode, the thermal control is off, so the fan gradually increases up to maximum speed and stays there until you reboot or go into multi-user mode. Well, I have never experienced this one before, and I'm freaking out about it... I went into single-user mood one reboot after upgrading to 10.4.3, and after all the println white text lines ended, the [1] fan shot up to maximum speed in 0.35 seconds (it sounded like a high-pitched DJ record scratch during the time interval), [2] the fan stayed at maximum speed when I left single-user mode, and [3] I cannot get the fan to slow itself! I rebooted, shut down, and even tried booting off the Tiger CD, but the instant I hit the power button to turn on the iMac, the fans blast up to maximum speed. They shut down when I put the iMac to Sleep, but then they blast up again in full when it wakes up. I checked my settings in the Energy Saver preference pane, and I have the performance set to "Reduced," which is the lowest possible.
I searched to see if anyone else had this problem or if the KBase had any info, but I didn't see any. I'm thinking about erasing and installing my stuff on the iMac, even though I just did that today.
Again, this maximum speed fan problem is freaking me out. It just started when I booted into single-user mode in OS X 10.4.3. I have booted into single-user mode before (10.4.2) and have not experienced this fan issue. I repeat, the fans blast up to maximum speed after pressing the power switch to turn on the computer, so they do not even wait for the Apple logo to show up on the screen before blasting away. How can I get these fans to not do this anymore?!

for the last few months my 20" 1.8GHz Imac has been very noisy - fans seem to run constantly and noisily. It might have been when updating to Tiger but I was never sure. Today, on the advice of a chat tech, I opened the case and reset the SMU to hopefully cure another problem. I noticed that all the air vents, intake and expel ones, were all quite heavily clogged up - not blocked but clogged with dust and fluff. I cleared it away mainly by blowing but also with a hand held hoover held close by. The exposed fan still as a lot of muck on it but greatly reduced and all the vents are completely clear. Having put everything back together again the iMac has been runnning quietly all day. May have been the SMU reset but equally might just be that the computer couldn'tdraw in cool air, circulate it or expel it properly and the fans had to work overtime to cope. Worth checking if you have noisy fans running at speed constantly.

Maximum amount of RAM on Y570 and Z570

What is the maximum amount of RAM that the Y570 and the Z570 can support? Is it 8GB or 16GB?

velenoso666,
I think you are all right - this is peer to peer support, and customers / non-employees who participate here do provide the vast majority of the answers. I think that is actually a really good thing, and it makes sense if you think about all the different possible scenarios - combinations of various software, OS versions, 3rd party option accessories, and environments being used.
Indeed, I think Lenovo does learn from our customers in many ways, and I think that is a good thing too. I continue to be impressed by the kinds of people here - many who are engineers or professionals with advanced degrees, some like AndyP who work on our systems on a daily basis (and have for years) based on their "day jobs" , and some who may just be brilliant on their own account.
In terms of providing "official answers" when it comes to specs, we have to answer based on reference doccuments - PSREF sheets, content on support or marketing site (except when a mistake is noted there).
When it comes to memory or HDD compatibility - the official answers are what is published, and those come from a combination of the test plan and the products that we sell at the time the spec was published. For example, if we didn't sell an 8 GB module, it may well work, but we may not have tested. We have to provide an answer for what we are prepared to support through engineering.
In many cases, the community may report that things actually do work in configurations beyond which Lenovo offiicially supports, and I think that's a good thing too. Another value for having our customers pool their knowledge and experience here.
Thanks for your feedback and suggestions / knowlege you share with others here.

Whats the maximum amount of ram and storage space i can fit into my 13" matchbook pro (early 2011)

I am looking to upgrade my mackbook pro and was wondering what's the highest amount of ram and maximum amount of hard drive space i can get.
also whats a good brand i should use for both ram and hard drive.

I like Hitachi (HGST) and have 6 of them in my inventory. I never had any WD drives and there are some who do not speak well of them who's opinions I respect.
I also have many Seagate HDDs and currently have 1 TB Seagate SSHDs in my MBPs. They are performing satisfactorily.
Ciao.

Whats the maximum amount of RAM can I get/use for my iMac?
