Oh the wonders of RAM

Hey all, I just upgraded my ram from 2gigs to 4gigs. Oh the difference is amazing, I am quite supprised.
And ram is cheap right now. I got 2gigs for $100.00 at OWC.
COME TO THE LIGHT!

It sounds like you didn't read the technical details. You shouldn't be surprised that Logic is 32 bit since every mac app is 32 bit. Assuming you bought the G5 before the intel boxes were available, it was the best you could get at that time and a big improvement over the G4.
When the 64 bit version ships, it will allow you to access more ram, but won't make a real difference in CPU power and usage. If your machine is choking from running out of CPU, going to 64 bit probably won't make a difference in your case.
But from what you described it sounds like there's either something wrong with your mac or the way it is set up. If you haven't already, I'd try doing a fresh reinstall of the OS and Logic. If you have a second hard drive, you can do it on there and keep the original one you had.
Didn't you say you had the logic board replaced and that you used to get much better performance than you are getting now? Those are indications of probable issues with your machine and not a logic problem.

since both the size of RAM and

1.
The device with larger ram can open more applications compared to the device with less ram.
2.
If processor has higher clock rate, the faster the app or game will execute.
High speed processor with low ram can execute apps faster than low speed processor with high ram.
Low speed processor with high ram can run many apps but execute apps slower.
Hope you got the idea.

How to find the number of Ram modules in M4000 and M3000

Dears,
Hope you all are in best of your health, I would like to know the command to check the number of RAM modules in M4000 or M3000 Sun Sparc Servers. I think it should be via XSCF Console if am correct? I trigger following command *"showhardconf"* got below output.

With the above output I understand that we have the following:-
-> *16GB RAM*
-> We have memory boards **MEMB#0** and **MEMB#1**
-> We have 4 modules on **MEMB#0** and they are following:-
MEM#0A -2GB - if we Upggrade to 4GB what will happen to the existing 2GB RAM?
MEM#1A -2GB- if we Upggrade to 4GB what will happen to the existing 2GB RAM?
MEM#2A -2GB- if we Upggrade to 4GB what will happen to the existing 2GB RAM?
MEM#3A -2GB- if we Upggrade to 4GB what will happen to the existing 2GB RAM?
-> We have 4 modules on **MEMB#1** and they are following:-
MEM#0A -2GB- if we Upggrade to 4GB what will happen to the existing 2GB RAM?
MEM#1A -2GB- if we Upggrade to 4GB what will happen to the existing 2GB RAM?
MEM#2A -2GB - if we Upggrade to 4GB what will happen to the existing 2GB RAM?
MEM#3A -2GB- if we Upggrade to 4GB what will happen to the existing 2GB RAM?
So, I understand that the above server will have 32 GB Ram as our company ordered recently, Correct?
In the specifications of M4000 i see that for these servers we can upgrade he Ram upto 128 GB.
Please guide, any help offerred is appreciated.
Edited by: user9007339 on 26/01/2013 03:14 ص

A Key document is:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19855-01/819-2210-14/819-2210-14.pdf
The m4000 can have 4 memory modules.
Each memory module can contain up to 8 dimms. (Two groups on same size (A and B) of 4 dimms). Group A dimms may must not be smaller than Group B dimms. (within a memory module).
The server can contain 4 memory modules of 8 dimms ... 128GB is attained by 32 4GB dimms. ( 8GB dimms used to be purchasable but are now discontinued ).
Depending on what you purchased to achieve 32GB on your server then following options are available:
- If you purchased 2 memory modules of 8GB each simply put these in two unused module slots and goto 32GB
- If you purchased 2 memory modules of 16GB each simply put these in two unused module slots and goto 48GB
- If you purchased 4 memory modules of 8GB each using 8 x 1GB dimms then move your existing simms into the group A slots of the new memory modules, goto 40GB and sell the spare dimmms on ebay or put them certain DELL's (then watch the thing crash due to a static dimm destruction issue and possilbe issues as it isn't supported.)
- If you purchased 8 2GB dimms stick them in your existing memory modules
- If you purchased 16 2GB Dimms ... and don have spare empty memory modules sell spares on ebay.
.... There may be further options ....
In general the person you are purchasing from should be giving good advice ... better than mine above.
... My cynical opinion is a lot of partners (and perhaps even Oracle itself) supplying the purchase may be on commission and have no interest and little care in minimising your cost .... having seen the performance of some oracle 'partners' in the uk I can see why some customers might want to move away from oracle hardware.
Please be aware certain games with switching things about could affect your warrantee ... ( its highly embarrassing when a failing disk in a dilbert has the wrong part number or even worse an incorrect backplate affecting the airflow ... ) ... and what you are really paying for is for an engineer to come and sort your server out if there is a hardware issue. So take some of the suggestions above with a pinch of salt.
Please be aware while have I tried to be accurate above I may have made a mistake. ... .... (in fact knowing me I probably have).
Edited by: bigdelboy on 26-Jan-2013 03:51 (NB: adding memory to servers is often a difficult balancing act and may not be cost effective .... and may make smaller dimms redundant in an upgrade in order to maintain supportable/workable configurations). A new T4/T5 may be more cost effective}. Buying fully populated at the beginning is also often more cost effective .... though the largest dimms to achieve highest capacity may be cost prohibitive.

What's the maximum memory ram for Macbook Pro?

Hello,
May I know what's the maximum memory ram capacity for Macbook Pro?
I am having Macbook Pro - 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Thank you!

Hate to resurrect a dead horse but....I was looking in the instructions for memory upgrades and the instructions specified that the computer will only recognize 3 gigs. Will that still be in effect if I upgrade to Snow Leopard when it becomes available? Or do I need to save my pennies for a Mac Pro? What I am getting at is: is the reason for the RAM cap due to software issues, 64 bit not being native, different version of leopard used on notebooks, or is it due to hardware issues.

What is the right 1G RAM upgrade for Aluminium G4 1,25 GHzPowerBook ?

After 6 months of struggle I am ready to throw my PB into trash bin and a buy a powerPC that works.
I tried to upgrade RAM from 1G to 1,5G - the older RAMs being 2x512MB Kingston copies and working well but getting slow for multitasking (photo editing and other jobs). I understand this is possible, but I am no longer convinced.
Ordered an Apple original from retailer getting first a RAM that did not work at all, the PB not starting, and thought this is due to bus slewing phenomenon.
Contacted the importer and they sent me another one that should work, this being a PC2700U-2533 DDR Sodimm 1GB by Daimler.
Now the PB starts and I can even get it working for upto 1 min or 2 max, then it freezes. No difference whether the RAM is on the lower or upper slot, and if I put the 1G RAM alone to any of the slots, the computer freezes at startup already.
Is this now due to CPU speed that is too low, as obviously the buffering does not work properly as the computer starts, but then crashes? I get logs that indicate something is not properly identified, PCI cards do not work properly, etc.
Is there a way to get over this and how ? In my country the Apple care and service is not worth mentioning - won't say where as I might have to resort to the monopoly office...

Tortuga,
I too have a 1.25 GHZ Powerbook, and have had issues with my machine, and installing new RAM. I've solved it with my machine by buying the Kingston KTA range of RAM. I bought a 512MB module, so I could replace one of my stock 256MB modules, to take my RAM to 768MB.
If you want a 1GB module that is guaranteed to work, then you need the Kingston KTA-PBG4333/1G module. I know by listening to other people on this discussions site, that this RAM works, especially with the bus slewing models like the 1.25GHZ Powerbook.
These machines are extremely fussy about the RAM they take, but the 512MB module I have fitted is working fine, and is worth the extra I had to pay for it. Cheap RAM is not an option, if you want your machine to work without problems, I have found, through trial and error.
You'll have to look at Kingston suppliers in your Country (you mentioned Euros, so I assume you are in Europe somewhere), as I'm in the UK and RAM is expensive here anyway.
I believe the 1G Kingston module is around £128 from Orca Logic (that's who I got my memory from). I believe the Crucial memory is almost the same price, but I don't know if their memory works in the 1.25 GHZ machine like the Kingston KTA RAM does.

Hi,
You can use Performance Monitor and add the required counters.
Check the below Technet article on Performance Monitor.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc749249.aspx
Below are the steps to monitor the process in Performance Monitor.
- Go to the Performance Monitor.
- Right-click on the graph and select "Add Counters".
- In the "Available counters" list, open the "Process" section by clicking on the down arrow next to it. Select "% Processor Time" (and any other counter you want).
- In the "Instances of selected object" list, select the process you want to track. Then click on "Add >>" button. Click on OK.

I have 2 Macbook Pros. One is a mid 2010, the other is mid-2012. I'm upgrading my 2012's memory which will free up the two 4GB ram chips in the machine. Can I use those chips to replace the two 2 GB chips in the 2010 Macbook Pro?

By upgrading my MacBook Pro mid 2012 computer to 16 GB I will have 2 - 4GB Ram chips unused. Can I put those 2 - 4GB chips into my MacBook Pro 2010 computer to replace the 2 2GB chips that are installed in that, which would upgrade its memory also.

You can install them but they will not work. The RAM specifications for those two models are different.
The 2010 MBP RAM specifications are: 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
The 2012 MBP RAM specifications are: 204-pin PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM

Is it possible to increase the dedicated video ram on my Thinkpad 530?

hi experts, would like to ask if its possible to increase the dedicated video ram on my Thinkpad 530. After some reasearches i believe that laptop user is could somehow increse the D.V.R through bios. If yes, please provide instructions.
much appreciated

If you feel confident, you can do it yourself.
If not, Apple can do it for the small matter of money.
If you go to http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/
Find you Mac on this page it has videos that show you how to replace the disk drive.
After you view the video then you can make your mind up as to which is the correct way for you to go.

Windows 7 reads only 2.3 of the 4 gb ram

Dear Sirs
I have 4 GB ram and 2 vga cards
Intel 288 hd graphics
Geforce gt 330m 512 mb
when i installed windows 7 on my macbook pro it only reads 1 graphic which is geforce and only 2.3 of the 4 GB Ram can you help me and tell me what can i do

Did you install the 32bit or the 64 bit version of Windows 7?
The 64bit can address more RAM.
Windows just accessing your dedicated video card is fine, the Intel HD graphics is junky anyway.

What's the best performance RAM?

I own a 15" MacBook Pro Mid 2012 and currently have 4GB of RAM. I use Adobe CS6 and want to know what's the best performance RAM to upgrade to? I am looking to go 16GB. Any information is much appreciated!

There is no such thing. All RAM spec'd to run on your hardware will perform the same. This is true of any make and any brand. Purchase from a reputable vendor. Only buy memory that is specified for your model in Apple documentation for your model. That would be:
Built-in Memory
8 or 16 GB PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) DDR3L on-board memory
Maximum Memory
16 GB
DDR3L refers to the low-voltage, 1.35 v, rated memory and not the 1.5 v rated memory.

One of your kids made an in app purchase that you did not know about. Some apps include in app purchase and games do this quite often. The game itself is free, but you might have to purchase additional items to enhance the game or to unlock certain levels.

HP Pavilion DV2716ca - Reduce the amout of RAM allocated for video card

Hello,
Is there a way to reduce the amout of RAM allocated for video card?I don't play games so only 16-32Mb should be more than enough
I have 4Gb of RAM and only 2.99 are available. I know that for a 32bit OS only 3.4-3.6Gb are available.
Thanks,
Adrian

Hi @adrian_d ,
