Memory Question "4x1 Gig or 2x2 Gig?" what is faster?

Memory Question "*4x1 Gig or 2x2 Gig*?" what is faster?
I'm still don't know if witch to choose?
4 times 1 gigabyte Ram Memory is cheaper but if I choose for 2 times 2 GB Ram I can always beef it it later.
And is my memory faster if I'm using 4 slots with 1 gig over 2 slot with 2 gig?
I'm asking this question because I think using 4 times the memory bandwidth will be faster?

Hello Jan
Welcome to Apple Discussions
The iMac (Late 2009): Installing or replacing memory article and your User's Guide are pretty clear, they both say that +"You can use 2 GB or 4 GB RAM SO-DIMMs of 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM in each slot."+ and not 1GB modules. > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3918
To upgrade your ram you will want at least 2 more 2 or 4GB modules and add that to the current 2 x 2GB of ram. > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/iMac/DDR321.527

FYI.. it's storage space not memory.
Try restarting your iPad. Press and hold the sleep / wake button until you see the red slider then swipe to the right to power off. Then press and hold the sleep / wake button until you see the Apple logo.
Restart your computer.
Now try syncing photos.

How did I get 84 gigs of other? What is it? How do I get rid of it?

I was trying to download some music. I wanted to see how much space I had. I noticed there is 84 gig of other. What is it? How do you get rid of it?

It's what does not fit into the other five catagories.
Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion's Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

My phone said that i dont have the storage space to take anymore photos or download anymore apps, but i just purchased another 10 gigs....what's going on?

Transfer your photos & videos from your iPhone to your computer. Then, delete those photos & videos from your iPhone to make more space.

865pe neo2-p Memory question

HI all
Hope someone can answer me a question
I have a 865pe noe2-p mobo , i have just stuck in x 4 1 gig ddr400 mem modules
The Specs of the board state as per MSI site that this board can support 4 gig , yet my bios is only reporting 3.1 gig
Mem modules are showing as dual channel in bios
Bios version is up to date ver 3.a , as per live update
CPU intell celeron 2.53 ghz clocked up to 2.92 ghz
4 gig Kingston DDR400 mem
Nvidea 6600
sata hdd's , 500 gig and 160 gig
is there something i am missing here to enable this board to see 4 gig of mem as per the specs of the board
I am only running XP and fully understand the SW limitation ,
I do not see this as being issue with SW , this seems to stem back to the board not picking the correct amount of ram installed
Has anybody else see this ?
Is there a resolve ?
Thanks in advance
Tadkin

The software limitation you are talking about is only one side of the coin. The memory adress decode space of the chipsets memory controller is restricted to 32bit addressing before software (operating system) ever comes into play. Part of this adress space needs to be reserved for other system devices and cannot be used for system memory addressing. No mainboard featuring an Intel 865PE Chipset was ever (or will ever) be able to fully address 4GB of system memory. This is a chipset rather than a board or BIOS limitation. It is not even a problem but a hardware restriction that was only overcome severl chipset generations later (Intel P965 and 975X to be precise).

Memory Question Help Please

Alright ive never really been to smart on memory and how it runs and all that. The Question is I have a gig of ram on my mac book but right now it says only 30 mb is free
wired: 221mb
active: 524mb
inactive: 247 mb
used: 993mb
now is that normal cause i mean im hardly using anything im using like safari, aim, and itunes. seems like more memory should be free and crap.

Hi,

Memory question on Arch x86_64. 2x2048 MB = 3950 MB?

I have a naive memory question for some knowledgeable folks. My machine has 2x2 Gb sticks which should total to 4096. When I do a free -m under Arch, it's only showing 3950. Is the remaining 146 reserved or..?
$ free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 3950 422 3528 0 28 157
-/+ buffers/cache: 236 3714
Swap: 2000 0 2000

Thats a really good question and the result you get is normal as far as I know.
Part of it (a small part I believe) is used by the kernel, the rest of it, and this is where things are not so clear, is reserved as an agp apperture.
As far as I could tell (I have stumbled uppon that too) the problem seems to be that some bioses don't setup everything as they should.
The thing is that some devices can only handle 32bit addresses so their address is somewhere until the 4GB mark, because the bios doesn't setup the memory remapping correctly (sometimes the user has no way set anything related to memory remapping, this seems to be the case with some desktop boards and most notebooks/laptops). This memory remapping "problem" was anticipated and there are ways to properly handle that.
For some reason unknown to me (and most people that have stumbled upon this) many bioses don't setup (or allow the setup) of proper remapping. To add to the problem the kernel seems to reserve 128MB of agp aperture by default even if you don't have an agp card, this reserved address space falls in the first 4GB of addressing space therefore stealing you some memory.
I have tried to regain those MB, I have tried to recompile the kernel with a different config and I've tried several kernel boot parameters and the only thing I could regain was 64MB if I recall correctly. I can't find now what I have added to regain those 64MB, I didn't keep that option in the kernel line, 64MB were not worth the possibility of having problems later on.
I know its a pain to have that voice in the back of your head telling you that there is some memory that is being wasted, specially if you have tried a 32bit kernel with support for 64GB of address space and got 4050 MB of usable memory, but just leave it as it is, it's not worth the time and the trouble.

I'm looking to buy a new iMac 27 in is it worth upgrading the ram to 8 gig from 4 gig thank you

Yes, but it's much cheaper to buy RAM from a reliable supplier like Crucial or OWC.

Ipod classic 160 gigs, only 150 gigs free when arrived?

so my empty, new ipod classic 160
reads only 150 gigs free
now i know hard drives lose a few gigs in the translation
from retail packaging number, to actually available gigs
but 10 gigs?
what gives?

Hi Dr. Rek,
Actually, losing 11 GB with the 160 GB iPod Classic makes sense.
It's the same binary system and same percentage lost (about 8%, I believe) as all of the previous iPods were. It just seems worse when several GBs are lost in the conversion, simply due to the fact that this is a bigger hard drive we're dealing with.
Think of the 27.72 GB vs/ 30 GB discrepancy, for example; 92.4% (total storage space gain) is the same rate of as it's always been, just with a 160 GB model, it turns out as about 11 GB lost.
So, it's normal for your computer (and on your iPod, too) to read the GB space as about 149 GB instead of 160; if you calculate it, it's actually the same percentage, but not a similar amount that we might be used to, since the iPod's hard drives are just getting larger in storage space.
I hope that all makes sense!

RAM = Random Access Memory
the 4GB you quoted is your system memory, people say get as much as you can as it attributes to the performance of your system with major impact.
other people disagree..

Tell your dumb friend to pay you for a new phone as he damaged it. You cannot get help here for a phone that has been taken apart, as it is not user servicible. Your dumb friend also voided your warranty and, even if the warranty were expired Apple will never touch that phone.
