Memory stick for msi km3m-v mobo

Hello all,
I'm asking on behalf of a good friend of mine who called me the other day to have a look at his pc as it was having a bad performance.
So I went to his place, saw that it was really going very slow, and opened the case to have a look at the components…
At first glance, I could observe a lot of dust and one memory stick of DDR 256MB at 333mhz.
I cleaned all the dust (looks pretty clean now), uninstalled all the unnecessary programs he had and decided to get him more memory, as 256MB (despite that he only uses his pc for e-mail checking, word and occasional websurfing) is not enough to improve the performance.
So I looked at the specs of his motherboard and found out that it only supports 333mhz. I found two shops here that still support this memory, only DDR 512MB sticks though at 333mhz.
Now the question is: Could it be possible to fit in one stick of DDR 1GB at 400mhz? Would the mobo adjust itself the clockrate to 333mhz so that the pc can run? Actually 1GB DDR memory stick at 400 mhz is cheaper than 2x512 at 333mhz What do you think guys…should I go for 2x512MB @ 333mhz or 1GB @ 400mhz
Also, I do not know which Bios version he’s using, I think that I won’t touch it as the system is running well and the latest Bios update is from 2004, almost as old as his pc.
But looking at the msi link from above I found that the Lan / Chipset and Sound driver indeed have updates, respectively from 2008 / 2007 & 2006.
Would you recommend to install these latest versions ? I think at least that the Lan driver makes sense…or?
Thank you again for reading this,
Best regards,
Koiishi

Hi Bas,
Thank you for your answer Don't worry, I won't touch the Bios , I wouldn't like to ruin a mobo which is not mine
I'll get then 2x512 MB DDR 333mhz, I also think that if the max FSB is 333mhz the memory should not exceed it. At least I think that my buddy will notice a significant peformance improvement with 1GB compared to 256MB DDR
Kind regards,
Koiishi

How do I use memory stick for pictures

How do I use a memory stick for my pictures? I put it in the side of computer? I want to look at
my pictures on it and save more on it?

Open Finder, the stick will be in the left hand pane, click on it and what is on the stick will show up in the right hand pane. Double click on one of them and it should open in Preview or iPhoto.
You can use iPhoto for this also and you can copy images from iPhoto onto the stick.
I dont use iPhoto, I use Lightroom, and when I do something like this I use Finder.

I want to copy images to a memory stick for sharing with my family. This was possible in iPhoto via copy/paste but does NOT seem to be possible with photos...

You can drag and drop (this will result in a compressed JPG) or hold the alt key and drag and drop (this will copy the original). You can also select the pictures and choose Export from the File menu.

Memory modules for Msi Big Bang trinergy

Hey forum,
i want to buy some memory modules for my trinergy mobo because the ones i had earlier also proved to be incompatible. I would like to ask you if there are any memory modules besides the ones recommended from the MSI site concerning my mobo. I am looking for a 2x2 gb ram kit with a heat dispenser so it can work around 1600mHz. Thank you in advance
P.S Is the list on the site the only one? i mean are there any updated versions of it with more high end memory modules tested?

Ideally you would provide us with your fullsystem specs first >>Posting Guide<<
From a memory perspective, the reason these modules have heatspreaders is mostly due to marketing and to impress the potential buyers. The secondary reason is that most manufacturers sell you overvolted and overclocked 1066 or 1333 chips on a 1600 marketed module that needs 1,65V instead of the standard 1,5V. Your memory controller is part of the CPU and natively only supports 1333 at 1,5V.
If you really insist, then at least get yourself a 1600 kit that does this speed at 1,5V. One of the modules that seem to work well are the CMZ4GX3M2A1600C9 from Corsair. From a user perspective, the mem modules from Crucial that you see in my signature come highly recommended as they have been proven to work on the P55 platform whenever used.

Best DDR Module for MSI K7N2/K7N2G mobos...help

Hi,
i am thinking in buying new DDR modules for my PC, and not generic ones, i mean high performance, low latency, ready to overclock modules. And i was thinking in buying PC3200 or PC3500 modules.
So, could you share your experience with me about high performance (CL2) DDR modules out there and the MSI K7N2/K7N2G mobos.
Feel free to post.
Bye.

getting quality memory is a must with these new power hungry boards.
I use both Mushkin 3200 Black low latency 2x512 in 2 machines.
I also use 2x 512 XMS Corsair 3200LL and they are equal but I favor mushkin for absolutly no problems, stable, fast.
With anything you get what you pay for.

Using Memory Sticks for iTunes

I am transferring iTunes from my old computer onto my new laptop, instead of using up the harddrive, can I transfer iTunes onto a Memory Stick instead of onto the laptop ?

b Now he has bought a brand new Sony VA10 laptop with 512mb and put his iTunes and ipod onto it but he wont let me
He wont let you? Who paid for the computer??
b put my iTunes onto it because he says it will be too much on his memory.
iTunes is a program. You do not need to load it more than one time onto the computer.
The actual song files are what take up space.
b Now we want to sell our old computer and too save him moaning I wanted to know if I could transfer my iTunes onto a large Memory stick and just plug it into the laptop when I want to download onto my ipod?
Might be possible but not very easily accomplished.

Turbo Cool 510-SLI
http://www.pcpowerandcooling.com/products/power_supplies/highperformance/turbocools/510/
But I see that you have an ATI video card? Does that mean that you have no plans to actually use the SLI component? This makes a big difference since one card requires much less power.
I was lucky enough t have won my GFX Card, but i do plan on eventually going SLi
And thanks to all who replied

Can I save to memory sticks for read and write access?

I use M.S. Office for Mac to do my admin. I would be very grateful if anyone can help with my queries.
I want to save work to media that allows me read and write access. Saving to discs (of any type) does not allow any editing.
1. If I save to a memory stick will I be able to save and update my work when I want to?
Also;
2. Would a memory stick have to be formatted with to be suitable for Mac?
3.If the memory stick can be used for the purpose, I want to encrypt it; how would I do this please?
4. Would encrypting place a limit on the capacity of the memory stick that can be used, e.g. I have a choice, including 8Gb and 16Gb.
5. I have heard that passwords can be created by Mac; what is the method for doing this please?
Many thanks for in advance.

There is terminology here I am unfamiliar with. I feel I have embarked upon a complex path.
I do not know what HFS+ is.
HFS+ is the Mac OS X file system. Hierarchical File System Plus (Plus as it used to be HFS, but then they improved it and said +)
By default a USB flash drive generally comes formatted with FAT (from the Microsoft MS-DOS days, but is a universal format - it might come with FAT32 or exFAT as well - still from Microsoft). Mac OS X can read/write these, HOWEVER, its FileVault whole disk encryption is only designed to work with HFS+, which is why I mentioned it.
Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility can be used to reformat a disk, USB Flash drive, etc... NOTE: reformatting does erase everything on a disk, so keep that in mind.
What is the difference between File Vault and .dmg in disk utilities?
FileVault is whole disk encryption. Everything on the disk is encrypted. and you need to enter the password just to mount the device.
A .dmg file is a regular file that happens to contain a file system inside of it. When you double click on the .dmg file, Mac OS X will mount the file system inside as if it was a disk. If the .dmg file is encrypted, then you will be prompted for the password before Mac OS X will mount it. A .dmg is just a container for a file system. Inside that contain is a full file system with files and directories just like any other file system.
You can create read only .dmg files, you can create read/write, you can create sparse (you declare the maximum side, but the initial size of the .dmg is small and will grow to the maximum size as you add things to the .dmg, you can create encrypted .dmg.
Since a .dmg is just a file with no special attributes on the outside, it can be copied around. You can copy it over the network, you can store it in the cloud, you can put it on a USB Flash drive, you can put it on an external disk, etc...
If the device you put it can be mounted by Mac OS X, then you can double-click on the .dmg and it will mount the file system inside the .dmg and you will be able to access the files in the .dmg
This even includes USB Flash drives that use the FAT format family. But you existing external disks can be used for that as well.
If I used an external hard drive for the purpose I have in mind, would the disk .dmg utility allow me to access folders and files for editing or should I approach the task in a different way? I would still wish to encrypt.
As I said above, the .dmg is a full file system where you can store files and folders inside a .dmg container file. And you can encrypt the .dmg so it is secure.

USB Memory Sticks for TM Backups?

Has anybody ever tried using a large USB memory stick as a nicely-portable Time-Machine backup drive?
In high-level concept it seems like it would be possible, but I seem to recall that a TM backup drive needs to be formatted in a certain particular way (MacOS Extended Journaled, as I recall), so perhaps not.

Flash drives simply don't have the capacity to function as a TM backup drive. Of course you can certainly use one but they are slow and small. They are useful to carry some data about but they are not intended to replace a hard drive. TM is not intended to maintain portable backups. Though it can be used in that way, it's not really designed for such a purpose.
Reasonably priced flash drives are available in capacities up to 16 GBs, but going above that is impractical both because of cost and lack of size over 32 GBs.
A full system backup requires at least 8 GBs of space. Since an 8 GB flash drive only formats to slightly less than 7.5 GBs, you would need to start with a 16 GB flash drive as a minimum.

Recommended memory stick for Xperia V

Hi guys. Im francis from philippines and new to the forum. Im planning to give myself a present this christmas and will expand my memory to either 16gb or 32gb. I just wanna ask you guys what can be the best memory card for my xperia v? Considering brands, capacity, or anything that can be considered. Hope you guys can help me. Good day!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Class 4 or higher memory cards can work well with phones, including those that support HD video recording. Class 2 is not recommended. Xperia V supports sd cards up to 32 GB. Try to go for brands that are reputable. You might also want to take a look at this thread: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-V/Xperia-V-Micro-SD-memory-card-problems/m-p/374687#M2539

Memory stick for ipad

Is there an adapter out there that enables ipad users to use their usb memory sticks?
Really need to be able to use my usb stick.
Thanks

Most USB thumb drives with work with the camera connection kit. However, you can only download photos and videos from the device to your iPad. You can't write to the device. The photos and video must be in a format supported by the iPad. The photos and videos must be placed in a folder titled "DCIM" in the root directly of the device. The devise must be formatted in FAT 16 or 32.
