New memory modules possible on MS 6119?

Can someone help me out with this small problem?
I have a MS 6119 motherboard with 64 mb ram. I want to upgrade to 256MB with 2 modules 128MB SDRAM PC133. Is this possible because in the manual it only says PC100 is possible...

I am in the same boat as you. I have a MS-6119 motherboard in which I am using a PC133 SDRAM 128 meg memory stick that works fine. This stick has 8 chips on it. I just purchased an AZENRAM PC133 SDRAM 128 meg memory stick that will only register 64 meg at bootup. This module has only 4 chips and will only run at half it's labeled value. You can run PC133 ram in a PC100 motherboard but, you will need a memory module that has 8 or 16 chips on it to get the full ram value.

Can I migrate RAM to new memory module?

Sorry very novice user. I bought this Mac a year ago with only two memory slots with only one 512GB memory module installed. I recently purchased and installed memory (2 - 1GB memory modules), and it didn't start up. I assumed that the "start up" stuff was on the 512 that I took out.
Aaah, so I put the 512 module back in and now I am running with 1.5GB. What am I doing???? Help me please. I want to copy the "stuff" from the 512 to the 1gb that is in the other memory slot currently, so that I can take out the 512, and run with 2gb of memory. Is this possible?
I am so confused?!?!?

Hi jojotagmaulgrl;
I concur with Allan Jones.
I would like to suggest that you try the other 1GB card in place of the one that is working and see what happens.
If what I think is going happen does boot with only 500 GB. Then that 1GB card is bad and you will have to return it for a new one.
If it boots and say 1.5GB then the first time one of the cards probably was seated correct. I would try once more to see if both work.
Please let us know what happens.

How to export imovie09 to an external harddrive prior to adding a new memory module?

Had to add a memory module to increase memory so I can run Lion, but can't back-up all imovies to external hard drive as required. What to do?

You can import the photos into iPhoto by using the iPhoto File menu "Import to Library."
The default location for the iPhoto Library is username/Pictures/iPhoto Library
You should only work with the library using iPhoto (i.e., don't attempt to open the library and work with the files inside directly from Finder).

After installing new memory modules cannot boot windows

I have a G60-458DX with 4GB of RAM; (two 2GB modules) running Vista. Spec's say that I can install up to 8GB.
After I installed two 4GB modules Windows Vista would not boot. The power light was on but the software would not boot. Could not turn off the power until I uplugged power cord and pulled the battery. Put the battery and the two 2GB modules back in and had no problem with booting up the software. The modules I tried to install were new (never used) and the same specifications as the 2GB modules. Is there any way I can check the new modules?

Hi,
If you check Page 52 of your Maintenance & Service Guide this would also indicate a maximum of 4Gb as the largest modules specified are 2GB for each slot.
Definetely worth checking further, but I have a feeling that this apparent 4Gb limit is the problem.
All the best,

Memory modules and hard drive not recognized

I removed and reinserted the factory installed Satellite L505D-LS5007 laptop hard drive and memory modules just as practice for installing a hard drive upgrade and an 8GB memory upgrade. The problem is obviously with the memory and not with the hard drive.
After the first practice try, one memory module was recognized. Also for a few seconds after the first practice try, I ran the PC with the battery installed, but no memory installed. I did not look in the User's Guide first to see that I should have removed the battery before removing the memory.
Now the System Indicator Lights for the HDD Activity and Memory Card Reader do not light up. The PC turns on and the display is solid black with no messages.
Before buying new memory modules, what possible ways might there be to get the PC to recognize the factory installed memory modules and hard drive again?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

When troubleshooting, I always change one variable at a time. I would hate to miss a solution by being in a hurry. In this case, you may have damaged either the RAM or the RAM slot. I would stick with the Toshiba specifications for the RAM, making sure it is the correct size, speed and type recommended. I also recommend that when you replace the RAM that both modules be from the same manufacturer, size, and specification. Try one RAM module in one slot and then the other. And then try both RAM modules in both slots. After the testing you should be able to figure if this is a RAM problem or a RAM slot problem.
In the case of hard drives, the real test is whether or not the Bios sees the hard drive. If the Bios doesn't see the hard drive, it's not going to work. The Bios should see the hard drive whether or not the hard drive is partitioned, formatted or has data on it. My experience has been that many Toshiba laptops will work fine with larger capacity hard drives provided they are the same speed in RPMs, have the same interfacing connection and physically the same size.
Again, prior to doing any work on your computer, make sure that both the AC power has been disconnected and the battery has been removed. Be careful out there. A blown repair job by a non-Toshiba tech is NOT covered under warranty.

Memory module not recognized on K7T266 Pro2

Hello.
I have a computer with only 256 Mb of RAM and I wanted to add 256 Mb but my second memory module of 256 Mo is not recognized whereas it functions very wel.
Here are details :
- Mother board : MSI K7T266 Pro2 (ms-6380 v2.0) with 3 memory slots
- BIOS : Award Modular W6380F1 V3.0 071902
- Memory module of origin : Samsung 256 Mo PC2100 (2 Sides)
- New memory module : Corsair Value 256 Mo PC3200 (1 Side)
Configs Tested :
- Samsung only : OK
- Corsair only : OK
- Samsung in Slot 1 and Corsair in Slot 2 or 3 : the computer starts but with only 256 Mb of RAM (in this config, Everest Ultimate Edition finds both memory modules but also only 256 Mb of RAM)
- Corsair in Slot 1 and Samsung in Slot 2 or 3 : the computer starts with a blank screen and several beeps.
Can somebody help me so that my second memory module is recognized correctly ? I specify that I did not modify the BIOS.
I thank you by advance.

I'm no memory expert, but from being around here I've learned that there is more to a stick of RAM than the MHz speed. If timings etc were perfectly the same for the 3200 and the 2100, the system (the Northbridge) could simply set down memory speed to the slowest of the sticks.
However, I also know that many have been helped by entering BIOS, Advanced Chipset..., and go to the subtitle Memory timings controlled by..., and change from By SPD to By User. Then manually set down to 133 (266 effectively). This is if you absolutely want these two sticks.

I am going to replace the memory module, will I loose the existing stored memory

I have a imac desktop with one memory module,, would like to insert 2 new memory modules,, will I loose stored memory

No. Nothing is stored in RAM when the computer's off, and you'll need to turn it off while upgrading its RAM.
RAM and drive space aren't the same. Back up the contents of the internal drive.

Installing new memory resort to clean startup?

This maybe a very obvious question but here goes anyway...I'm about to upgrade my MacBook Pro from the standard 4GB memory to 8GB. My question is whether the switch will erase all of my current settings, apps & files on my computer and revert back to factory settings or 'Clean StartUp'.
I'm not worried about loosing any of my files, apps and/or settings, I''m asking because I want to start fresh after I switch to the 8GB...I'm just not sure whether this will happen automatically or whether I will have to manually restore back to factory settings once the new memory is installed.
Also, any tips or advice to look out for when re-installing apps that have pre-existing serial numbers would also be very helpful (i.e Microsoft Office)
Thank You!!

shmonz,
no, replacing your memory modules will not affect the contents of your hard disk. The main concern is ensuring that static electricity is discharged before handling your memory modules, both new and old, since static electricity can functionally destroy them. Occasionally new memory modules exhibit defects that weren’t caught at the factory, so if you notice programs misbehaving after you install the new memory, try reïnstalling the old memory to see if the misbehavior disappears. If it does disappear, then contact the memory vendor to obtain replacements for your new memory.

New Memory Recognition Problem - MS-6704 V2.1 845PE Max3-FISR motherboard

I have just purchased a 1GB DDR (PC3200) memory module from Crucial after using their downloaded software to examine my system and recommend compatible upgrades.
Before this I had 512MB DDR (PC3200) - also from Crucial - in slot 1, 256MB DDR (PC2700) - original - in slot 2 and 256MB DDR (PC2700) - original - in slot 3, 1 GB in total and all working fine.
I removed the 256MB module in slot 2 and replaced it with the 512MB module from slot 1. I then put the new 1GB module in slot 1.
The system is now only recognising the new 1GB module in slot 1 and neither of the other two modules, so I still effectively only have 1GB of memory.
I've used system info software which recognises and provides details of each of the modules in the new arrangement on the motherboard and memory testing software supposedly across all three modules which returned 100% success.
The Crucial self testing software indicated that 2GB memory was the maximum permissible with my motherboard and recommended removing all of my original modules and replacing them with just two 2GB modules.
Is it possible that my system will only recognise modules of 1GB capacity in pairs?
Your help/advice would be most appreciated.

Hello NovJoe and thanks for the reply.
I do have only 3 slots, so presumably I should simply try your suggested arrangement with just the 3 slot positions:
Slot 1: 1GB
Slot 2: 256MB
Slot 3: 512MB
I had always planned to achieve only 1.75GB, rather than splash out on two 1GBs.
Is this simply randomly placing the RAMs to see if they will work together or is there some logic to this? Is the mixing concern related to capacities or PC**** ratings or something else? I had a similar mix of either before buying this new RAM and they worked fine together, although admittedly there wasn't the range of capacities I'm now trying.
There seems to be 6 position combinations; is there any point in trying all of these before getting Crucial involved again? I always understood that one should start with the largest capacity RAM in slot 1 and progressively move along the slots with reducing capacities.
Nobody tells you that RAMs should be very similar in, for example, capacities or indeed placed in certain configurations before they will work together. What is the technical reason for this restriction on RAM module use?

Mixing memory modules on Westmere

Dear Hardware gurus,
I have a 12-Cores Westmere. Do you know is it possible to mix different memory modules on it, namely:
6x1 Gb 1330Mhz
+
2x4 Gb 1066Mhz
and if yes, in which configuration?
Thanks a lot for any comment!

Kappy, thanks for the note.
I am actually going to order some more 1333 modules, but just for the short time I have to work with what I have currently (see my original post).
As I posted above, I tried a bit already to combine the modules and Mac doesn't boot
Can you suggest a configuration, which will work?

Mixing Memory Modules

I just bought the MacPro with a 3.0ghz chip and let them ship with the standard two modules, 1GB each of 800 Pro 8-core memory. I bought (at 4 All Memory) four 2GB DDR2-800FB DIMM modules. Is there a reason not to leave the original two 1GB modules in place and just add the new memory?

If there are only two modules in the computer, one goes in slot 1 in each riser. Otherwise, matched pairs go in slots 1 and 2 of each riser, and when those are filled, in slots 3 and 4.
If the computer came with just two modules, one must be moved to slot 2 of the other riser when adding more memory. If it came with more than two modules, you don't have to move any. You will get best performance if both risers match, but don't remove modules just to make them match. More memory is always faster.
If you have four modules of one size, and four of another, put the larger in slots 1 and 2 of each riser, and the smaller in slots 3 and 4. Slots 3 and 4 are slightly slower, since their signals pass through the modules in slots 1 and 2. Putting the smaller modules in slots 2 and 4 means most memory will be in the faster slots.

2Gb Memory Modules - Power Mac G5?

New here, but a returning Mac user.... at last....
Just got hold of an older (early 2005) G5 Power Mac (Dual 2.7Ghz). Can anyone tell me if it's OK to upgrade the memory using 2Gb memory modules (assuming of course I have matching pairs, and don't exceed the max memory - 8Gb I think)?
Sorry, I'm only able to find that 2 x 1Gb modules is OK, but so far nothing on 2 x 2Gb modules...
Thanks.
~Mark~

2 x 2Gb modules will not work.

K7T, memory modules and slowness

Bonjour à tous.
That’s the first time I post… It’s hard for me to write in english…
My motherboard is K7T Turbo (MS-6330). I have two problems :
1. I have three memory modules : 256 MB, 128 MB and 64 MB. All three are 133 MHz speed.
The memory test of Norton Utilities indicates alwys an error at an address about 356888576 (the address is not always the same, but always greater or equal than the one I wrote above.
 When just one of these three memory modules is used, the memory test is always OK (any module plugged in any socket)
 The test is also always OK with the two modules 256 an 64 MB,
 Also OK with the two modules 128 and 64 MB,
 But it is Always failed with the two modules 256 and 128 MB.
Here is my conclusion : my K7T Turbo has a problem « addressing the memory in the space around the address 356888576 and above ».
356888576 is 1545B000 in hexadecimal. 256 MB + 128 MB = 18000000 (hexa) is the only combination of my memory modules that goes ahead 1545B000 (256 MB + 64 MB = 10400000)
Do you think my motherboard is guilty ?
2. The Memory Bandwidth Benchmark of SiSoftware Sandra 2002 gives me a result about 895 MB/s.
The result is the same with one, two or the three memory modules. And It seems to me very low.
Is it possible to obtain better ? Is it necessary to upgrade the BIOS (my version is 2.9) ?

Matching Memory Modules?

I recently bought a new iMac G5 with a 1GB memory module pre-installed. I have added a 1GB memory module and I am wondering if there is any way for me to tell whether the memory is matched, that is, operating at a 128-bit data path. I read about matching memory here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300082 . I am mainly wondering because after installing the module I have not noticed any improvement in speed or performance. The additional module that I bought is by Crucial (part # CT12864Z40B.M16FD). The factory installed module is by Micron (part # MT16VDDT12864AG-40BD1). The new module that I received looked physically different from the original one - it is more narrow and the chips are smaller and square (vs. the rectangular chips on the originally installed module) but all of the technical specifications listed for it were the same as for the one originally installed in my system. So I donÕt know if that would make them not a Òmatching pair.Ó In the system profiler it does say that there is a total system memory of 2GB but I canÕt find any information as to whether the data path is 64-bit or 128-bit. How can I find this out?
Thanks very much for any help,
Wade

Hello All,
I ordered a second 1 Gig DIMM for my iMac G5 (rev. B) on Monday. My original module was a PQI brand 1 Gig with 16 chips (8 on each side).
The new one that arrived, is a generic assembled with Motorolla chips and also has 16 chips (8 on each side).
I spoke with the guy on the phone at Other World Computing (the place I purchased the original module from and the new module).
I explained to him that I wanted to end-up with a "matched" set that would provide the 128-BIT communication.
He told me that he would look up my original order, and get me a module that would match.
I mentioned to him that I had heard that the modules needed to be identical if they were to be recognized as a matched set and be utilized with the 128-BIT path.
He told me that you don't really need to go that far. He said that they just need to be the same size (capacity) and speed.
My modules do appear to be "matched" according to the Terminal Script, and the "testgbusG5us" utility I mentioned previously (see other post). So, they are reportedly communicating at the 128-BIT rate.
In my system Profiler, the original PQI module is listed as:
PC3200U-30330
The new generic module is listed as:
PC3200U-30440
So, they appear to not be 100% identical, but they are recognized at a "matched" set.
I haven't been able to find a translation on the Internet for the numbers after the dash. But, the limited information I could find indicates that the first number "3" in the 30xx0 number is the CAS rating.
So, it appears as though they are the same size and speed.
Anyone know what the other numbers mean?
Anyway, I thought I would post what I found for the benefit of others who are thinking about buying another module.
