Memory upgrade - how much

Is 8GB the max ram I can install in my Macbook Pro 5,3

8gB of PC3-8500, 1066mHz is indeed the max for that unit.

Is there any command/query/etc, which would allow to understand what database objects (for example tables) are consuming memory and how much of it?

TimesTen Release 11.2.1.9.6 (64 bit Linux/x86_64)
Command> dssize;
PERM_ALLOCATED_SIZE:      51200000

tried to use ttsize function, but it gives some senseless results – for example, for the biggest table, tokens, it produces following output (that this table is 90GB in size – what physically cannot be true):
Command> call ttsize('tokens',null,null);
< 90885669274.0000 >
1 row found.

Are you able to use the command line version of ttSize instead? This splits out how much space is being used by indexes (in the Temp section of the TT memory segment), which I think is being combined into one, whole figure in the procedure version of ttSize you're using. For example:
ttSize -tbl ia my_ttdb
Rows = 4
Total in-line row bytes = 17524
Total = 17524
Command> create index i1 on ia(a);
ttSize -tbl ia my_ttdb;
Rows = 4
Total in-line row bytes = 17524
Indexes:
Range index JSPALMER.I1 adds 5618 bytes
Total index bytes = 5618
Total = 23142
Command> call ttsize ('ia',,);
< 23142.0000000000 >
1 row found.
In 11.2.2 we added the procedure ttComputeTabSizes which populates system tables with detailed table size data, and was designed to be an alternative to ttSize. Unfortunately it still doesn't calculate index usage though, and it isn't in 11.2.1.

I haven't done an update since 24.0 because my computer is running out of memory. How much MORE memory will I need to get up to version 28.0?

My computer is really old.
It is running out of memory.
I haven't done a firefox update since 24.0 because I think it will explode my computer.
I see that v28.0 takes 200MB.
How much more is this than what is already loaded for my v24.0?
Will it just add the extra pieces, or will it require a free block of 200MB (which my computer does not have)?
I don't want to crash and lockup my computer because I try to install something that is too big for the remaining memory.
Thanks.

You should updated to Firefox 28, Firefox updates don't take any new space they just replace the existing files.
There are some things you can do to clean up your hard drive to free up space however, http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?p=21178060 and http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956324, also uninstall programs you don't use anymore and delete files you don't need anymore.
You should also start saving up for a new machine, Windows XP is being dropped from support by Microsoft in a few days, which means it will no longer be safe to use on the internet.

RAM Upgrade - how much memory?

I've got a recent iBook G4, which has 512mb of built-in RAM, and I think more would be better.
It's best to max out the memory on a computer that only has ONE slot, but I'm somewhat economically challenged at the moment and I'm wondering how much of a difference there is between a RAM-maxed iBook at 1.5gigs and a RAM-doubled iBook at 1gig. In other words, is lack of enough memory still a major speed bottleneck at 1gig of RAM?
It's an iBook, so obviously I don't do anything intensive like video editing. But I do tend to have a lot of programs open at one time and I find myself staring at the rolling beachball more often than I'd like -- with Safari in particular.
Has anyone tried both configurations or otherwise have any advice on the matter?
PS: I avoid Firefox because it's just so slow, but Safari seems to be the number one beachball rolling app as of late. Anyone have any <pun>memorable</pun> experiences with other browsers (Opera, Camino, Shiira, etc.)? I'm thinking of switching to Camino, but I will miss Safari's RSS integration.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
More RAM is always the better way. I have 1.5 in my iBook and it runs very smoothly. Make sure you purchase from a reputable dealer. I purchased mine from MacRam Direct.
There are a number of factors that can affect Safari's speed and operation. Insufficient RAM can be one. With Safari and Firefox, both tend to increase their need for RAM the longer they are used in a session. This is due to coding leaks which have yet to be corrected. I usually restart the browser when it starts to seem sluggish.
Also, if you are on broadband, you can disable Safari's cache file, which will give you a speed boost. You'll need to download a copy of Safari Enhancer to do so.
There are other steps you can take. A "search" on the Apple Discussion Safari Forum will lead you to other solutions.

SXDE upgrade: how much diskspace is needed, and where?

I have an existing SXDE 9/07 install and would like to upgrade it to 1/08. I started the process, pointing it at my existing driver, and the upgrader halted, complaining about 'Insufficient disk space.' But it gave no guidance as to how much would be necessary or what mountpoints I could use as backup points. The upgrade guide (http://developers.sun.com/sxde/upgrade_guide.jsp) is no help. Any ideas?

The upgrade script is attempting to make a backup copy of your current OS, so it basically needs the same amount of space that is currently used for your root partition (and /usr if you have it as a separate partition). I haven't done a standard upgrade in a while (I now just do live upgrades), but I believe the installation needs a device name, not a mountpoint. Something like /dev/dsk/c2t0d0s7 should be given.

Graphics Card Upgrade - how much better?

How big a performance difference do you see with Motion 2 by upgrading from the stock 9600 to something better - say an X800 or 6800GT/Ultra?

4K refers to the width of the largest object you can work with.
For example I work with maps and am making an HD project. So I can easily create a map in Photoshop that is 3500 pixels by 2400 pixels. I would like to bring this into Motion and do a gentle zoom in on it starting from the whole map and ending up with a 50% zoom. With my Radeon 9800 board I must convert the graphic down to 2048 pixel wide before I bring it into Motion. So my zoom will not look so good as if I could start with the full width.
Hope this helps - certainly explains why I am planning to get a NVidia or comparable board for my next system

I have an iMac 5,1 with an Intel Core 2 Duo. I'd like to be able to use iCloud, but need Lion which is too big. How much memory can I add? And will this upgrade allow me to install Lion?

I have an iMac 5,1 with an Intel Core 2 Duo. I'd like to Lion, in order to use iCloud, but the specs indicate I don't have enough memory. How much memory can I add? And will this upgrade allow me to install Lion?

I believe your model iMac can address 3 GB RAM; the minimum for Lion is 2 GB - however, that is an absolute minimum for very light use. You would be much happier with a minimum of 4 GB.

(You can install 4 GB, but it will only be able to address about 3.1 - 3.2 GB)

How much memory can I stuff in my Mac Mini?

I have a mid-2011 i5 2.3 Mac Mini that came with 4GB memory (2X2GB). After a while, I upgraded it to 2X4GB chips, and today, I installed 2X8GB chips for a total of 16GB internal memory. How much can I stuff in there? Can I put in 2X16GB chips?
Also, to speed things up, can I install one of those Fusion drives into the Mac Mini?

There has only been fanciful reference to 16 GB SODIMMs. Middle of last year, 8 GB SODIMMs were $750+ each. Now they are $45 through Crucial. 16 GB SODIMMs may be out there somewhere, but likely cost $3000 each -- just my "off the cuff" estimate as I have done no research.

How much RAM should I upgrade too?

I recently purchased a 13" MacBook Pro. It is a mid-2012 model. It currently has 4 GB. I connect it to an external monitor which makes it easier for me to use while editing. I always have the application sit and load with the spinning ball icon. I use FCPX, Photoshop, and After Effects on a daily basis. I was wondering if the RAM increase would help me create my videos more efficently. Thanks for all the comments and help ahead of time!

You should benefit from adding more RAM. How much is hard to say but at least to 8 GBs. You might know more if you observed your memory usage in Activity Monitor.
About OS X Memory Management and Usage

A detailed look at memory usage in OS X
Understanding top output in the Terminal
The amount of available RAM for applications is the sum of Free RAM and Inactive RAM. This will change as applications are opened and closed or change from active to inactive status. The Swap figure represents an estimate of the total amount of swap space required for VM if used, but does not necessarily indicate the actual size of the existing swap file. If you are really in need of more RAM that would be indicated by how frequently the system uses VM. If you open the Terminal and run the top command at the prompt you will find information reported on Pageins () and Pageouts (). Pageouts () is the important figure. If the value in the parentheses is 0 (zero) then OS X is not making instantaneous use of VM which means you have adequate physical RAM for the system with the applications you have loaded. If the figure in parentheses is running positive and your hard drive is constantly being used (thrashing) then you need more physical RAM.
Adding RAM only makes it possible to run more programs concurrently. It doesn't speed up the computer nor make games run faster. What it can do is prevent the system from having to use disk-based VM when it runs out of RAM because you are trying to run too many applications concurrently or using applications that are extremely RAM dependent. It will improve the performance of applications that run mostly in RAM or when loading programs.

How much memory do lyrics take up on ur ipod?

hi everyone.
well the heading says it.. how much memory do lyrics take up?coz i was reading this article and it explained how to put lyrics into ur ipod.but i mean its like pictures i guess so it should have memory but how much?? just wondering and thanks in advance

Lyrics are just text files, so I doubt they take up much space. I have both lyrics and album covers on mine, and no storage problem. In fact, I've also got the full text files of "Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" and "Journey to the Center of the Earth" on mine. Sherlock only took about 500k for the WHOLE BOOK.
So don't worry about running out of space for lyrics...

How much Ram can I add to my MacBook Pro?

Another non-techie here with a memory question
How much RAM can I add to my MacBook

How much space does IOS 6 use vs IOS 5.1.1

I upgraded my iPhone 4S to IOS 6 yesterday. Today, I was telling a friend about it and she said she doesn't have enough free space to install it on her 8GB iPhone 4. This got me thinking that with all the upgrades, how much more space does IOS6 require vs IOS5.X.X. Does anyone know?
Thanks
Mike

Bit of a strange one, the file itself was 650-something MB, but when it came to install, it required me to have at least 2.5GB free space. When it was installed though, there was no change in the free space on my iphone. So, its a mystery.

How much free space before updating iPad to 5?

I have an original, 64gb iPad One.
from what I am reading here, free disc space seems to be important before doing the upgrade.
how much free space do those of who have updated suggest, BOTH on then iPad, and on
my PC hard drive?
Not looking forward to a bricked-install

The more stuff you got, the longer the whole update will take...increasing the chances something might not go smoothly.
So delete movies/videos first as they take up the most space. You can copy them back later. It's worth the small hassle imo.

Is it possible to upgrade my macbook air 13" from 1.86 GHz 128 gb flash and 2GB memory to the 2.13 GHz 256 and 4GB memory, how much would it cost?

About the only thing that "might" be able to do is upgrade the SSD. OWC sells SSD upgrades for that unit. You would have to contact Apple though to verify that no warranty issues would apply when making the upgrade.
