MS-6570 (K7N2) all memory slots in use?

Hi folks,
and thanks very much for letting me participate on this forum. As a user of the famous k7n2-l (the first one with fsb 333) I use to have two memory sticks of each 256 MB of RAM from Infinion (333) in slots 1 and 3, because I want to take advantage of the 'twinbanking' effect (works well!).
Due to my intense work with big audio files I need to have more than 512 MB of RAM now. My question is if I will be able to use the 'twinbanking' effect while having installed three modules of each 256 MB of RAM. Does the M/B start at all at that condition? What problems do I have to expect?
I thank you very much for your help in advance!
So long

soundmaster1,
You get better performance when you are running in TwinBank. nForce has two memory controllers. Memory Controller One controls DIMM Slots 1 & 2. Memory Controller Two controls DIMM Slot 3. So you need a combined RAM in slots 1 + 2 = 3 and then you get TwinBank.
That is why you see most of us running with two matched sticks of RAM.
Take Care,
Richard

Should all memory slots on my imac have the same amount of memory

should all memory slots on my imac have the same amount of memory

For your model, that would mean to match them horizontally; in newer iMacs with vertical RAM installation, they should be matched: slot 1 + 3, and slots 2 + 4 (which, oddly enough, will result in the same picture if your check the RAM in system info).

Using 4 memory slots wile overclocking?

Anyone ever run into any problems overclocking wile having all 4 memory slots full in duel channel? I have heard it can't be done

Nope.
I have four sticks of Kingmax PC4000 ram, and they all run in dual-channel perfectly. They system runs quite stable at 245Mhz, but at 250Mhz (which is what the memory's rated at) it will reboot every now and then in games. I can't confirm whether it's the ram or not (probably not) but I hardly think it's an issue with 4 DIMMs being used.

Can't use all memory for VM

Hi!
I have Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 with 16 Gb RAM. I created two VM with 7162 Mb of fixed memory on each. But i can't start both of them. When i tried start second vm i got out of memory error. Why?
PS C:\Users\Administrator> ( Get-WMIObject Win32_OperatingSystem -ComputerName localhost ).FreePhysicalMemory
8184452
PS C:\Users\Administrator> start-vm oldBSD
start-vm : 'oldBSD' could not initialize. (Virtual machine ID 05EA5A45-601F-4CC0-8770-62B97571D8F8)
Not enough memory in the system to start the virtual machine oldBSD with ram
size 7168 megabytes. (Virtual machine ID 05EA5A45-601F-4CC0-8770-62B97571D8F8)
The server ran out of available memory.
Max memory value for second machine is 5740Mb, but with it i have
PS C:\Users\Administrator> ( Get-WMIObject Win32_OperatingSystem -ComputerName
localhost ).FreePhysicalMemory

How i can use all memory? My idea is use 7 Gb of memory for each machine and 1.5-2 Gb for host.

Hi maxx-ode,
As far as I know ,to get free memory you still need to subtract the "standby memroy" from the output of the command in your original post .
Please refer to the article "Memory Sizing Guidance for Windows 7" within the link below :
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/windows/hardware/dn550976
" Standby List
The Standby list contains unmodified pages that have been removed from process working sets, which effectively makes the Standby list a cache. If a process needs a page that is on the Standby list, the memory manager immediately returns the page to its
working set.
All pages on the Standby list are available for memory allocation requests. If a process requests memory, the memory manager can take a page from the Standby list, initialize it, and allocate it to the calling process. This is called repurposing a page.
Pages on the Standby list are often from recently used files. By keeping these pages on the Standby list, the memory manager reduces the need to read information from the disk. Disk reads
can decrease system responsiveness. "
Please try to use this command to get the "real" free memory of host (in bytes):
(Get-WmiObject Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfOS_Memory -ComputerName localhost).FreeAndZeroPageListBytes
"Free & Zero Page List Bytes is the amount of physical memory, in bytes, that is assigned to the free and zero page lists. This memory does not contain cached data. It is immediately available for allocation to a process or for system use.
Update: Actually we can allocate some standby RAM to VM , based on my test I can't allocate whole standby RAM .Then I used
RAMMap to check the usage and I found that Mapped file occupied most RAM .For mapped file please refer to following link:

Premiere freezing then using all memory

Hello everyone,
I'm experiencing a weird problem across multiple projects. First playback will lock up in premiere, I can move the playhead through the timeline but the program does not update and there is no sound. The program monitor is stuck on the frame I was on before it locked up. After a few seconds of this I get a "Your system has run out of application memory" message. I am running on a 2013 Mac Pro with 64gb of memory, so memory should not be an issue. I opened up the activity monitor while working and noticed around 15gbs of total memory was being used while premiere was working. But the minute it locked up, suddenly the total memory usage began to shoot up until it was at 64gbs and I got the message. In the activity monitor it tells me premiere is only using 10gbs of memory, but that can't be the case as the minute I quit the application it drops back down. The lock ups are random, but usually within the first five-ten minutes of working. I need a solution to this problem fast as this is happening on multiple projects across multiple machines and the projects are due soon. Any help would be greatly appreciated... The amount of bugs I have been experiencing with premiere lately is just mind boggling, I do more troubleshooting than editing.

I'm running Premiere 8.2.0 and am on Yosemite 10.10.1. I am using Apple Pro Res 422 at 1920x1080 at 29.97fps. I am using a 2013 Mac Pro 6,1 with dual AMD FirePro D500, 12-core Intel Xeon E5 processor, and 64gbs of ram.
The project is pretty system intensive, but the fact I can work for a while with no issues with total memory usage hovering around 12gbs, but then it shoots up to 64gb randomly seems wrong.. And also I can't imagine Premiere would need 64gbs of ram??
The project involves multiple nests, keys, multi-cam, and other coloring effects (all of which are GPU accelerated). I am working off of a 12tb raid connected through thunderbolt and have my scratch/media cache set to a separate SSD connected through thunderbolt. All preview files are set to the same as the footage, prores 422. As an update, I removed adjustments layers that were used to create a vignette and the problem seems to have stopped for now. But any advice or ideas of what could be causing this and how to avoid it would be greatly appreciated.

Windows Audio Device Graph Isolation uses up all memory

Windows Audio Device Graph Isolation uses up all memory. 12Gb. Task manager shows it continuously soaking up memory at about 0.5MB/sec. until its all used up. Killing the process restores memory and stops all sound until I log off and on again when the process starts devouring memory again.

All 35 slots used in Application Toolbar ? Need more to add in PF-status

All,
I have a report with PF-status . But in the PF-status Application Toolbar declaration all 35 slots have been already used. My requirement is i need to add 5 more application toolbar in PF-status.
Any Info?

Hi,
This Can be handle with two screens. use all 35 Options in first screen "A" and rest options you may use in another screen 'B'.
In this case in first screen you May reserve one option out of 35 to call the second screen. Than use another options in second screen and so on.
This is Just a suggestion i never gone thru this situation, but i believe this could be possible with some work around this.

Powerbook Lower Memory Slot Issue, what are my options?

Hi there,
I have a Powerbook G4 1.5ghz that I purchased in October of 2004. I had no problems with it until after upgrading the RAM to 2 x 512mb chips and then installing Tiger which resulted in me later notcing the missing RAM and learning about the lower memory slot failure issue.
I find that sometimes if I remove the RAM and try and power it up and then replace the RAM again that the lower slot ocassionaly does come back. Trouble is though that the machine will either crash or I loose the other RAM slot when I have to shut it down. It seems to be so intermittent this way and I'm tired of constantly removing the RAM to fiddle about with it.
My serial number begins W8441, so it isn't covered by the returns programe. I would call Apple Support, but I am put off by a £35 charge just to have them discuss and diagnose the problem.
I'm in the UK and as I don't have Applecare and I'm not elgiable for the returns programe can anyone tell me what they charge for a logic board replacment? Looking at what they charge in the US, it's not cheap.
I use my Powebook for Final Cut Pro, DVD Studio Pro, After Effects mainly and I had been alright with 1gig when it was working.
I'm really trying to decide what the best thing to do is....
- Do I pay for the logic board replacement, which I'm not really sure I can afford right now, or to be without my machine... especially as I have read that it can just fail again.
- Should I just buy a 1gig stick for the upper slot and try and sell my old RAM, as that would be cheaper than getting the logic board replaced?
It's a real shame that Apple doesn't seem to want to ackowledge that this effects other users as I'd been so impressed with everything about Apple up until now.
Thanks for any advice.

(Browse down for findings and questions).
The notorious lower-memory-slot-bug has hit my finally too... I never believed it until now (and I've immediately signed the petition).
I am outside warranty and I never bought Applecare either.
Also my powerbook, a very dear machine to me, is a less common type to have this problem: a 1 GHz G4 15" FireWire 800 OS 10.3.9 type. Funny enough my older powerbook ( a G3 Bronze) is still running strong with no problems whatsoever.
My G4 15" also has the "white spots" problem and a dead superdrive... I cannot believe how many hardware problems I'm having with this machine in comparison to all my older macs - even my sluggish powerMac 7200/90 never gave me this many headaches...
Alright, I'll stop complaining for now.
I've been able to browse the internet on this and found the following statements:
The lower memory slot gets "fried" because of a OS 10.3.9 upgrade,
or possibly due to overheating when the powerbook is put on the users' lap,
or possibly due to picking the powerbook up by the corners so the metal gets bent.
+ I have only seen one case where someone's UPPER memory slot was defective.
The solution to this problem (replacing the logic board) didn't seem to be definate in many cases so I'm reluctant to try this myself (and I have very little money). The alternative (replacing the upper slot memory with a bigger type of RAM) seems a bit scary to me,
because I wonder:
-will the upper memory slot RAM get "fried" eventually as well after a while?
-do you need to have something installed in the lower slot or is it possible to just install one RAM card only?
-are there more people with a 1 GHz PB that have this problem? It seems it's mostly people with a 1,67 GHz that have been bitten by this bug and maybe that's why Apple decided to give the majority a free repair. I am not sure whether that is a common policy, I am part of the minority it seems.
As a solutions someone posted on a board that we should all buy KTA-PBG4333/1G RAM, but here in Dutch stores it is said this memory is only compatible with 17" powerbooks....
Does anyone know if it is suitable for 15" as well??

MS-7003 Memory slots

Fresh post on this problem:
My MS-7003 mobo had just come back from being RMAed
The problem i had at first was that i kept getting bsod errors when my 256mb micron memory was plugged into slot 2 on my mobo. so i ran MemTest86 V3.2 and got errors on test 5. The memory is fine when tested in slot 1.
I still have this problem with slot 2 even after RMA. Only now i get errors in test 5 & 8
Is this just a problem with not having any memory in slot 1? I only have one stick of 256 so i cannot test without buying more ram (which i can't afford atm) But in my mind the ram should work on it's own in either slot anyway!
Or is slot 2 still duff? The mobo ram and cpu came as a bundle so should be compatible.
My concern is when i come to use both memory slots at the same time. i.e i upgrade with another 256 ram will the memory in slot 2 cause errors?
All help appreciated.

Hi Harib0,
I'm running the MS-7003 mobo in my media centre PC.
Stumbled across your post while looking for BIOS flashes for the board, and thought I'd do some testing.
Have been running a P4 1.8A (512K Northwood) and 256MB micron DDR333 (2.5-3-3-8) in slot 1. Onboard graphics and sound and is running fine for me.
Tried running memtest-86 with this module in slot1 and slot2, no errors.
Tried 2 x 256MB Corsair VS DDR400 (3-3-4-8), slot1 and slot2 individually and both together, no errors.
Tried 2 x 512MB Corsair VS DDR400 (3-3-4-8), slot1 and slot2 individually and both together, no errors.
Tried 2 x 512MB Crucial (micron) Ballistix DDR400 (2-2-2-6), slot1 and slot2 individually and both together, no errors.
So the memory works fine on my board. Got my board from an OEM source as well it has BIOS version 1.0b31 which I assume is a beta BIOS. If you are using a different BIOS I'd really appreciate it if you could save it and send it to me before you RMA the board. If you install msi's live update 3 you can do this in windows with the following utility:
C:\Program Files\MSI\Live Update 3\FlashUty\Award\WinFlash.exe
I think you could be having one of 2 problems.
1. Bad BIOS that needs updating, although the update may not be available. I can check your BIOS on my system if you send it to me and perhaps my BIOS will resolve your problem.
2. Motherboard does not support your CPU. Again a BIOS update could solve this one but I wouldn't hold your breath for MSI to release one. This is an interesting link where MSI clearly state that "Pentium 4 Prescott (Celeron) - 2.8G - 533 - 21 - NO" does not work. MSI seem to be using a BIOS v1.1 and a lot of the Prescott CPU's seem to be incompatible.
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_cpu_support_detail.php?UID=537&kind=1
I’ve got a P4 3.0 I could test in the board but it’s a 512K 800FSB Northwood so I doubt there will be any problems. MSI’s site says the board works fine with 3.0 Northwood’s and Prescott’s.
Hope this is of some help and you get to keep the board cos the 9100 IGP is the best integrated graphics you can get.

Memory slot utility

Hi everyone
I have just upgraded my mac pro early 2009 with an ATI 5870 and an extra 1gig of ddr3 ram.
All seems to be fine no problems all the ram checks out ok and is working but this utility keeps telling me everytime I boot up or log out and into another profile that the memory modules are installed in the correct slots which is really nice to know but does it have to tell me this every time as once is enough.
I have tried moving the memory modules around as slots 1 2 3 had the base ram installed at the factory I then added the extra 1 gig in the 4th slot and started getting the message as stated above. So I swapped the ram around with one of the base ram sticks and put one of them in the 4th slot still the same but when you remove the ram from slot 4 and boot up with 3gig of ram its all happy again.
So I then placed the ram in slot 4 3 and 2 leaving the 1st slot empty and the utility tells me it is the wrong configuration which is fine as thats expected as it will not give optimised preformance i just wanted to see its reaction.
I have phoned apple and they gave me a number for a local shop and the guy there said he has had this happen as well just make sure software and firmware are up to date and it should clear which of course they are and I have double checked.
So for now I went into system on mac HD and then into core services and removed the memory slot utility and placed it somewhere else for safe keeping and it has stopped now but thats because it can't use the utility.
I am stumped I can't see this being hardware it seems it could be software or a bug not sure either way I am covered under warranty but I just want to get to the bottom of this other people have reported this on these forums but not mentioned how they got on.
My next step is to reinstall lion I have my old osx leopard cd's also and then I can reinstall everything else from scratch but this seems extreeme
If anyone has any ideas I would be really gratefull
Kind Regards
Martin

Thanks for the replies and the suggestions much appreciated for now I have disabled the memory slot utility as I know the memory is installed correctly so I don't need it.
I went into the finder then into systems and then core services and removed the memory slot utility which is no problem all fixed the only thing that does concern me is if it is a problem that needs addressing because if I need a new processor board I would rather apple pay for it while I am with applecare as those babies cant be cheap.
My applecare service expires next september so I will keep an eye on things for now.
I have done some more checks my ram is fine no problems my system checks out ok and all is running fine as it has for the past two years since I bought my mac pro.
All my ram is apple certified ram and they are all equal memory modules 1gig in size each.
Memory can be added to slots 1 2 3 no messages but any ram added to slot 4 and it tells me the memory modules are installed correctly which really warms my heart but just don't tell me this every time I boot up and log in and out it tends to get on your nerves after a while.
Also if we do something that is not correct like put memory in slot 4 3 2 leaving slot 1 empty it then gives you a longer message telling you its all wrong and to swap them around which is fine as I did that on purpose just to see what would happen.
So do you think I am worrying to much and I should just chill out on this I found my fix just take the memory slot utility out of core services and it is all fine or like X423424X said enabling root though I went for the safe option and just removed the memory utility.
I know I am not alone I have searched the web and on this forum and there are others out there and everyone has different solutions the guy I spoke to at my local apple authorised reseller said he had the same thing happen but it was his firmware but that is not the case for me and others as that is all up to date and my software is also current.
Do you think its a hardware issue or software is there cause for concern as these things are not cheap.
Again thanks for your suggestions and comments its appreciated if anyone does find out what this is please let me know as it is playing on my mind I am one of these people who has to find the solution or cause I can't leave things be.
kind regards
Martin

Hi,
I can't find any D7 model. If a DV7, gently use your fingers to widen the latches and put it down a bit, it should pop up otherwaie use a thin plastic to help it to pop up.

Replaced my HDD on iMac (9,1) and screw of memory slot grille is useless. How to replace it?

My original iMac drive was slow & would sometimes not show at all (Some other of my drives would have to be used as Startup Disk) so I decided to replace it. I bought a 4TB HDD from OWC & proceeded with the installation. Couldn't beleive how much dust was in there!
After replacement, when I went to close the bottom grille—the one which gives access to the memory slots—I found the screw had its head slagged & I couldn't make it turn. I need a replacement, but can't find it anywhere.
Anybody?

Tale the grill cover into an Apple repair station. I'm sure they can replace either the cover w/screw or the screw.
