Need help from RAM expert before purchasing.

I have tried google searching for awhile and am at the point of just asking on the forums to get the best possible information. I am trying to figure out whether I would really see any performance improvements by changing from the RAM I currently have to a different type. I have read some conflicting information with my setup that leads me to believe I may not see any improvements with speed increase as my AMD CPU may still run at 1333 still. Also my current RAM, although older and slower speed has a lower CAS latency time which makes me think I may not see any difference between my current RAM and new RAM I am considering. I honestly am not sure though which is why I want to ask an expert about this. Here is more details on what I am looking at: System details:Motherboard: Giga-Byte GA-790XTA-UD4
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 945 Quad-Core 3.0GHzOS: Win 7 64bit Current RAM:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820144264GeIL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10660) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model GV34GB1333C7DC RAM I am considering purchasing and replacing above RAM with:http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/ga-790xta-ud4/CT26533584GB DDR3 PC3-14900 Unbuffered NON-ECC 1.5V 512Meg x 64 Would I see any performance increase with going with the new RAM or is that a waste of money? Be honest and let me know what you think. I just don't want to be a fool and buy the new RAM thinking it will be faster and not really see improvements due to my mobo/CPU limitations. Thanks in advance! :-)

Thank you for the reply YogiH. That is kind of what I was thinking but wasn't so sure. I appreciate you letting me know! :-) Now the next question is; I know some folks recommend not throwing in different types of RAM together but maybe it won't really matter. My board has 4 slots with the two existing RAM sticks currently running in paired mode. What would be the recommended method for upgrading to 8GB to see the best possible peformance on my setup (i.e. add two 2GB sticks in the empty slots, or just add a single 4GB stick, or buy two 4GB sticks and replace current RAM with)? If I can get away with just adding 4GB to the existing setup what specific RAM do you recommend that I buy from you all to get the best performance and compatibility with current setup? Thanks!

Need help from an expert regarding fingerprint scanning, ONLY AT HOME?!?!

Ok people... You might think I'm crazy, but let me tell you what I'm going through.
I recently purchased an iPhone 5S and I love it. But, I am having the strangest problem. Whenever the phone is plugged in at home, the fingerprint scanner doesn't work (for adding new fingerprints or unlocking from lock screen)!!! As soon as I disconnect lightning cable, it works as it should...
So I assumed something was wrong with the phone. I brought it to the Apple Store, and plugged it into one of their display lightning stands, worked just fine. Tried one of their lightning cables with USB AC adapter, worked just fine.
Did I have a bad cable at home? A bad wall adapter? Here is where it gets weird... I have three lightning cables and three wall adapters and all of them exhibit this symptom. I also have the problem with when trying to plug into many other devices in my house via USB (Yamaha receiver, APC battery backup, Panamax line conditioner, etc).
If I plug the phone into my Targus cigarette lighter in my car, it works as it should. If I plug into my Morphie battery pack, it works as it should. But anytime I plug into something that ultimately leads to my AC electrical at home, it doesn't work!!!! What is odd, is that I have zero problems with any other devices at my house. And it is only the fingerprint scanner that has issues. It charges fine and does everything the way it should, but not fingerprint. I have checked my electrical system, and it seems fine.
Another odd tidbit, If I plug the phone into my MBA while on DC power, it works fine, but as soon as I plug in the MBA AC adapter, the phone exhibits the same problem. I think my electrical system needs an exorcism or something. (Again, EVERYTHING else in the house works fine on these outlets).
I have iOS 7.0.1, and have tried both soft resets and hard resets. This is 100% reproduceable and very strange. If anyone has any thoughts, please let me know. I will keep you posted of any updates...
Thanks,
Ed

Emanx32, sorry to hear you are having the same issue. Sadly, I'm happy to know I'm not the only one. I was starting to think I was in some sort of tech Twilight Zone. Now that the fingerprint scanner has been publicly hacked, I have it off for the time being (it's actually less secure with it on.) However, I would still like to know what is causing this issue.
Again, if I get any new updates, I will keep you people posted!
Thanks for those who have read, and cheers to Emanx32 who has validated my sanity

Hi i need help from the experts in node set up

i just both the logic pro upgrade from logic express and I have a g5 and g4 can somboody help my to use the node sistem to put them together. i am in mexico and is not easy to find that kind of help, i dont have a clear idea because the manual instructions are not clear enough how to install the node sistem, they send you to on line help... welll thank you verry much
kosming

This is not strictly true... The G4 will work as a Node, though the benefit of it will be minimised.
It wirks pretty simply and you won't do any harm (especially your wallet), giving it a try.
Make sure you install the equivalent version (extremely important) of the Logic Node application on your G4 and run it.
Launch Logic on your G5, open preferences/ Audio / Nodes. Provided you have your computers networked correctly (I am assuming you have done this), the Node computer will be listed there. You can then activate it, if listed.
Assigning a track to a Node is done in the arrange window (view / Node buttons, needs to be enabled) .. Click the Node button and voila!!
It is important to note that only Logic plugins (with the exception of EXS24 and, I think, Ultrabeat) can be processed by a Node.

Need help from an expert!

Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone on this forum would know of a solution to our current issue. Basically we had our web designer set up an online viewing system for our clients, attached to our website, using Adobe Air. At the moment, each client has their own username/password which directs them into their private online gallery space, where they can view the different jobs which we have done for them. Our problem is that some of these clients have clients of their own who need to see the photos as well, but cannot be allowed access to the username/password, as this would allow them to not only see the job relevant to them but also every other job done for our client. So here's my question.......
Is it possible, when uploading a new job to a clients gallery, to have an option where you can create a new 'guest' password that allows access to only that specific uploaded folder, and not to everything else in that viewing gallery?
If so, is it a case of writing new code to enable this feature and is it difficult/time-consuming/expensive????
Thanks in advance!
Keith

This is a question only your web designer/developer can answer as (s)he is the only person who knows how that specific AIR application was written and what would need to be modified in order for this new functionality to work.

- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
iCloud: Find My iPhone
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

Hola scj2000-
Muchas gracias por visitar nuestro foro en búsqueda de una explicación al cargo que recién apareció en tu tarjeta de crédito.
Entiendo su preocupación, ya que cualquier cargo extraño que aparece en un estado de cuenta puede ser alarmante. En este caso, el último cargo que puede recuperar usando el correo electrónico que usaste para registrarte al foro, refleja que se renovó un antivirus Kaspersky. Esta autorización nos diste cuando realizaste la compra de tu Lenovo, desde entonces se renueva automáticamente la licencia de antivirus.
Las otras publicaciones que has leído, indican lo mismo. Un cargo que se ha hecho a la tarjeta de crédito que se presentó durante la compra con la autorización del cliente.
Lamento mucho la confusión y espero esto aclare tu duda.
Atentamente,

That is just plain evil. But I am sure I could do something to help.
All the music is on an 2T external drive.

TS1717 as noted in the thread title...
Brigancook, is the library database on the external or just the media? iTunes reevaluates smart playlists and rewrites its database after every action on the library. I've found this can make a library half that size, with a lot of smart playlists, quite sluggish. That said I'm aware part of my problem is aging hardware. Having the database on the internal drive may improve performance if it is currently on the external.
I'd expect to see an exponential relationship between size and response time which may explain what you see. Cutting down on the number of smart playlists might help. If we're really lucky the long awaited iTunes 11 might have streamlined some of the background processes as well as cleaning up the front end.

Hi,
It depends on fact that when you want to create the incentive.
If you want to create at the time of invoicing, then you have to enhance event R402.
If you want to create at the time of payment, the you have to enhance event 0032.
Hope it helps
Thanks,

I really need help with my decision in purchasing an iPhone 4! =(

I will just go to my main concern.
I lost the phone of my aunt which is an iPhone 4. It was stolen from my bag. Out of common sense, I have to find a replacement because I know the my aunt invested money on it. However, brand new iPhone 4 here on our country are still pretty expensive for my budget. It is also hard to find becuase mostly stores no longer carry it becuase there is now iPhone 5. So, i have no choice, but to purchase a second-hand iPhone 4. So far, the second-hand iPhone 4 that I saw are from Singapore and Japan.
Now, my question. How can I be sure that the iPhone 4 that I purchase will work in the United States when my aunt will go back to the US. She works and live in the United States. I want to make sure that she can use the phone when she goes back to the United States.
Please please please I need help.
I am already stressed finding money to buy a replacement.

Verizon's offers full theft and loss protection. I am an attorney and tend to read fine print :)
The $8 a month is nominal compared to the benefit and peace of mind. I have had it on all my phones and typically you have to ask for it.
Over the past two years I have used it twice. My phone at the time was an HTC Evo, about a $500 phone. To replace outside the 2yr contact you must pay full price. That is $1000 for 2 phones.
The insurance cost me a couple hundred plus the deductibles. That's under $500 to replace two phones, or a savings of about $500 or 50%.
Even if you replace 1 phone in two years, your saving a few hundred- more if its an iPhone which retails starting at $700.
It all depends on where and how you use your device. If you never replaced one before the you may be better off without. I also don't put cases or screen protectors on my phones. I wouldn't dare put one on my beautiful iPhone 5.
Just a thought, if you don't have insurance, you should be ready to drop $750 at any given time for a new iPhone. Otherwise you end up with a temporary flip.

Need help on rams to be compatible with my Spec

Hi I need to replaced my rams. Appreciate some advice here. Currently I am using DDR PC3200/400Mhz rams. As it's no longer economical/ value-for-money for me to get PC3200/400Mhz rams, below are the alternatives I am looking into since their prices are more cost effective than 400Mhz rams. According to my Spec, Intel 2.8Ghz Pentium 4, MSI motherboard 865PE Neo 2 PLS, 478 socket. Will I be able to use PC4200 533Mhz, PC5300 667 DDR2 rams?
Kingston DDR2 533Mhz 1GB
Kingston/Corsair DDR2 533 Mhz PC4200 1GB
Patriot DDR2 PC4200 533Mhz 1GB
kingston DDR2 PC5300/667Mhz 1GB
Compatibility and stability is more impt to me. I do not intend to overclocking. Appreciate anyone if you could help advice me on the timing as well for these suggested Rams w/o overclocking.
Thanks a lot.
Intel Pentium Prescott 4 CPU 2.8Mhz
MSI 865PE Neo2 PLS
1.5GB Ram (2x512MB, 2 X 256MB), 3-3-3-8 clocks at 2.6V
1 80GB SATA 7200rpm HDD
1 LG DVD writer
1 floopy disk
1 ATI graphic card 9550SE
PSU +5.5V 24A, +3.3V 15A, 12V1 12A, 12V2 15A

You can't use DDR2 ram with that board. You need DDR1 PC3200 ram. Best thing to do is sell the ram you currently have and get a new dual channel kit as your slots are already full and further mixing will lead to problems.
Hi thanks for replying.
I don't intend to mix the existing rams that I have with a new replace rams. I will just install 2 x 1GB rams. So I need to know if my motherboard will be able to use 1 GB DDR2 533mhz or DDR2 667Mhz rams before I go and buy.
Really can't use DDR2 rams?

Need help ASAP: ram issues for neo4 plat

I just bought a new case, motherboard, ram, video card, power supply, and CPU. i took my drives from my old Dell and placed them into this case and the MSI neo4 plat. motherboard (specs in my sig). i just want my comp to work but it doesn't want to. it powers up and does nothing. you just hear fans going. the LED on the D-bracket says that its a ram issue. the ram worked fine last night and i had a video card problem it said. any ideas or am i just completely screwed? i use my computer a lot and need to do some things before i leave for a wedding on the 15th with my family and won't be back til the 25th. i'd like to resolve any issues before i leave so i can relax about it when i get back. i spent all of my money on this and i dont' want it wasted cause i messed it all up and even my parents helped pay for the part i couldn't pay as a birthday present. i'm annoyed, impatient, and probably acting childish over what probably is a stupid petty thing.
thanks,
Zack

OK, well the first improvement is there
Sometimes it will help to remove a component and then put it back in the same position, make sure it is fully inserted in the slot. This goes for both the video card and the memory.
1. you can clear cmos (see in your manual)
2. reseat videocard
3. try the other ram module, try different slots
ah you see i did all that already, and it did nothing :P
would you by any chance want to help me on MSN?
this is my second computer assembly. i'm very fluent with comps which is why this is driving my crazy:P
also the heatsink and everything is fine. i'm always the guy that has the weirdest problem thats hard to solve. i should be a professional software tester or something... just don't know how to get there. i'm more of a musician anyway...

Need help with ram on bootcamp

hey guys i need help with getting more ram on the pc side of bootcamp.

Model Name: Mac Pro

Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 2 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2

L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB

wanting to know how to get more ram over to boot camp

Rodney:
You cannot physically or via software add/move RAM from OSx side to Windows side. This is because you run Leopard and Windows separately and therefore when one is running the other is not active. The only thing that controls how much RAM Windows sees/uses is determined by the type of Windows you have installed (32BIT or 64BIT). Please do not confuse that with Gigabytes of RAM or disk space.
32BIT Windows has a maximum limit of 3GB of RAM (it often uses only around 2GB of RAM when it is sharing the system RAM with your video card. I believe this is the case with you.
64BIT Windows will be able to sees/use all of your 4GB of RAM.
Leopard sees/uses all of your 4GB of RAM.
If you have installed Windows XPSP2 and it is working properly on your boot camp partition then I can assure you that it is the 32BIT version.
FYI - The only time that one can select/decide how much RAM Leopard uses and how much RAM Windows uses is when one is running Windows as a Virtual Machine under software such as Fusion or Parallels. I have assumed that you are running windows on a boot camp partition (from your posts) and therefore this does not apply to you.
