Over 1 Gig Of Ram

I have the MSI 6704, Pentium 4 2.53, Currently 1 Gig of RAM (2 512). I went to add one more chip of 512 but when I did the bios and windows said I only had 512 when I had 3 chips of it in there. Is there anything I have to do to get the board to see over 1 Gig of Ram.
Thanks,
Josh Wamboldt

Then how are you suposed to be able to get 2GB out of this board in memory? It says on the front of the box 2GB DDR 333. All I am doing is 1.5

How long does it take to down load mavericks from snow leperd. The mini Mac has two gig of ram. It has been over two hours. I have DSL

long does it take to down load mavericks from snow leperd. The mini Mac has two gig of ram. It's over two hours now. I have DSL

By cable standards it's not very fast. Assuming it runs at top speed with no hiccups at either end you can download about 650 KB/s. So, that suggests it will take a little over two hours. Of course transfers are rarely ever perfect, so could take more than two yours, realistically. My pipe is about four times faster than yours, and I've seen the download take twice as long as it "should."

Need help. I am running a 27 in imac with 16 gigs of ram. Photoshop runs really fast, except when opening files. It takes 5-10 minutes to open even a small file of 1 meg. I cleaned and validated all the fonts and removed all questionable fonts. Reset preferences and still have problem. Slow to open and in force quit "Photoshop not responding" At this point should I uninstall and start over.

What are the performance Preferences?

Adding a gig of ram

A convert from the mini last march, I am recently new to the iBook. I am proud to own a 1.42 gighertz g4 60 gig HD CD/DVD burner 14 inch display 9550 chipset modern marvel.
So I gather that the 512 megs default is built in and I have a free dimm slot that I can put a gig in? Is that right? If so, even if it's easy, I am having it done at the store. Guess I coulda just called!
There is something else I am curious about and that is replacing the 4,200 rpm HD with one of those expensive, fancy, new, cool running 7,200 rpm laptop drives.
I am assuming that perhaps an actuall Apple store would not install such a thing. But can a non Apple owned Apple shop do such a thing, a licensed tech or some such thing where I do not have applecare and am taking responsabilty for something that might go wrong? I would not do this for a long time anyhow.
Enlightenment please.
And by the way, I am actually very happy with the performance of my iBook as is. If I can upgrade the ram, that's just inevitable. I sure am curious what a 7,200 rpm HD plus 1.5 gigs of ram would do for the already excellent performance though.
I am pretty fanatical about my iBook and plan on using it for a very long time before needing something new, except for maybe the next gen mini for my TV.
Thank you,
William
ibook g4 1.42 gigahertz Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Hi William,
Yes, you can put 1Gb in the empty slot. I suggest getting your RAM at Crucial.com. Crucial has a RAM guide, so you get the exact RAM that you need (at a pretty decent price). Apple has a RAM guide that will help you install the RAM into your iBook.
I suggest getting a external hard drive over getting an internal installed because you risk complications. No matter who opens your iBook, you risk having future problems. The other reason is that its great for backing up your internal hard drive. One should always backup their hard drive just incase anything happens to your computer. One can't predict the day when a friend trips over their own feet; knocking your iBook on the floor with a huge crash. The most annoying thing to carry around when traveling is the Mac OS X install discs. I hate bringing them with me because I am in constant fear that I will loose them. The reason I bring them with me is because if something happens while I am away, I can troubleshoot my problem. I can startup from the install disc and then run Disk Utility, Archive and Install, Erase, and partition my hard drive. Once someone has a problem on the road; they will never leave their house without the discs. Instead of carrying around those discs, I partitioned one of my external hard drives into three sections, one for backup (140Gb), one for Mac OS X Tiger (10Gb), and the last one is for Panther (10Gb. I gave my girlfriend an iBook and she has Panther on it). This means I am equipped to startup my computer without using my internal drive.
Have you ever lost your iTunes library or your TurboTax data? Well, by backing up your hard drive (internal to external), you can save all your vital data incase something happens. You will find it a life saver if anything ever happens.
If you are looking into external hard drives, I suggest anything from LaCie, SmartDisk, or Western Digital
I recommend the LaCie D2 Hard Drive Extreme w/ Triple Interface, SmartDisk CrossFire, or the WD Dual Option.
I use a SmartDisk CrossFire for both my iTunes library as well as my iPhoto library. If you need help moving your iTunes library you might want to look at Knowledge Base Document #301748 explains How to Move Your iTunes Library.
If you truly want an internal hard drive put into your iBook, you can get it done by an outside company like PowerBookResQ. It will cost you $350 instead of $160 for the external. With the external like the CrossFire, you get 160Gb, 2 FireWire Ports (so when your hard drive is plugged in you can still use FireWire), USB 2.0, and more at a lower price.
I hope that helps,
Jon

Leopard on a G4 Laptop w/ One Gig of RAM?

My older brother has a nine-year-old G4 laptop (15") with one gig of RAM, running Panther (10.3.x). He is not computer literate and hasn't kept up with upgrades, etc, over the years.
Question: Can he install and run Leopard (10.5) on this machine with one gig of RAM? He only uses the computer for the web and email, so doesn't need a lot of RAM, but is one gig even enough for Leopard and one or two open apps?
If not Leopard, can he install/run Tiger (10.4)?
I'm just trying to help him upgrade as far as he can reasonably go. I assume his machine might allow for additional RAM as well -- anybody know how much RAM a nine-year-old G4 can take?
Thanks much!

I'd say he could run Leopard; minimum requirements are found here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=30496.
Might want to upgrade the RAM, if possible. 2 gig RAM would be better.

MEGA PC 651 and 1 gig of RAM

Hi Guys, I have a MEGA 651, cele 2.6 gig and i HAD 1 gig of ram in there... but after doing my usual tasks in XP, it would just reboot! as anyone had this problem? i take out 1 stick of 512 and it runs fine. I think this may be an over heating problem because i noticed that extra stick of 512 generates quite a bit of heat. Could it be a problem with the mobo handling 512 or ram as well? If anyone has any info this would be great
Thanks

Thanks alot for your response..
Hmm i know its not the ram, its been tested in another system and its fine.. So it might be the power supply huh? how can this be resolved? i heard the mega PC 651 was released in 2 models.. 1 with a higher voltage power supply, i guess mine is the lower of the 2 released, if so..do i have to replace the power supply?

4 gig or 8 gig of RAM?

Clearly, FCP 7 maxed out with 4 gigs of RAM, but FCP-X can use more. The question is how significant is the real world usage of 8 gigs vs. 4 gigs with FCP-X?
Has anyone out there started with FCP-X and 4 gigs and then upgraded to 8 gigs? If so, did you notice much change after the upgrade? I don't really need more RAM for any other apps, but if the performance change is significant in FCP-X, I will toss the original 4 gigs (2 x 2gig) and head over to OWC pick up 2 x 4 gig chips for my laptop. Of course more RAM is always better, but I'm only interested at this point if the performance boost is noticeable. (I'm still hurting a bit from the laptop purchase.)
Thanks,
Dave

First, make sure your laptop meets the specs for FCP X.
I'm not sure why my computer is not currently showing up in my signature as it has for many years (and I just updated it last week), but yes, I have a brand new:
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.7), 2011 i7 17"
Really what I'm looking for is someone with real world experience that recently upgraded their RAM and can relate the changes in performance. Unfortunately with X only being out less than a month, this person may not exist yet.
I started with FCP 4.5, then FCP 5, then FCP 7, and use Logic. I also have an external eSata/FW800 RAID 1 setup that I used with FCP 7 (which may become less necessary now based on this other recent post of mine- https://discussions.apple.com/message/15628161#15628161 ). With FCP-X, I will likely be NOT importing the native AVCHD files but will instead be creating and editing with the Pro Res 422 Proxy files and then point to the original files at export time. A bit more experimentation will let me know if I will be able to work this way and avoid lugging around my external RAID 1 setup around the house. Since I don't have clients and am primarily doing straight forward video for my business, this may work okay for me. Hopefully, someone will come by that recently upgraded their RAM and share their performance experience.
Thanks,
Dave

Running the latest OS Mavericks. 8 gigs of RAM. 150 gigs free space on computer. Problem: since upgrading to Maverick almost all applications are slow to open, and frequently many 'spinning ball' interruptions. Repaired disk permissions - no help.

I'm running the latest OS 10.9.1 Mavericks (late 2009 iMac). 8 gigs of RAM. 150 gigs free space on computer. Since upgrading to Mavericks, apps are slow to open, with frequent "spinning ball" interruptions. Repaired Disk Permissions - no help. Repaired disk - no problems indicated. Did notice in going to Utilities/Console that there are 4000 messages over a 3 day period. Any suggesstions how to correct this sudden slow down, other than psychiatric help?

Yes. Many messages show up when I try to use Office for Mac 08. Here's a sample (and one that repeats over and over again):

64 bit and only 3 gigs of ram?

I thought to fully take advantage of 64 bit and 64 bit applications. one would need to have at least 4 gigs of ram?? this 3 gig limit just makes no sense to me. oh well, I guess I'm sticking with my 32 bit MBP for now. or is there something that I should know?

Why would we have to wait for Santa Rosa when Dell XPS laptops using the exact same Core 2 Duos are capable of supporting 4GBs right now?
I'm in the unique position of having a "do-over" with regards to my laptop, I was able to sell my MBP for just a hair under what I bought it for, and am ready to buy a C2D MBP, but this RAM issue (along with the reported "haziness" in the LCD that I can't tell if it's really an issue or not) is getting me to second guess whether I'm going to go Apple again.

The dv6700z And dv9700z WILL Support Over 4gb of RAM

I've asked on these and other forums if my dv6700z and dv9700z laptops would support over 4gb of RAM and I was told absolutely not. The hard limit on these motherboards is set at 4gb. Period. Even the memory manufacturers told me the 4gb limit was cast in stone. I could forget about squeezing a few more years from my laptops with life-giving RAM upgrades.
Well, I pleased to announce that these laptops absolutely WILL support over 4gb when running under a 64-bit operating system. I have just installed a Patriot 4gb PC2-6400 memory module carrying p/n PSD24G8002S from NewEgg, along with one existing 2gb module. The machines all booted and addressed 6gb quite nicely, thank you. Now, I barely even notice hard drive activity since the upgrade. 64-bit Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.10 Linux all work flawlessly with over 4gb.
Now that my little experiment has worked, I am going back to NewEgg to slug a full 8gb (4gb x 2) of PC2-6400 memory in all my dv6000 and dv9000 laptops. I can highly recommend this life-extending feature to anyone running 64-bit operating systems.
By the way, NewEgg pictures these modules with 4 chips per side, but they have 8 chips per side. $70 each and free shipping. 200 pin DDR2 RAM is expensive, but probably not getting any cheaper.

Hi:
I just bought the same module for my HP Elitebook 6930p. I only bought one to make sure it would work (I have always bought Crucial memory in the past) but when I saw the price of a Crucial module compared to the Patriot module, I couldn't resist. I bought the Patriot module based on the many excellent reviews.
My module came yesterday and works great! So, I ordered another one last night and can't wait to max out the memory in this notebook to 8 gigs!.
Even at 6 GB, this thing flies! My WEI dropped .2 of a point from 5.9 to 5.7 but I am sure this is due to not having matched pairs as this notebook supports DDR mode.
I will run the WEI tool again after installing the matching 4 GB module and expect the index to go up again to at least where it was.

Prem and 4 or more gig of ram

Does CS4 support 8 gigs of ram?

No. Only 64 bit applications can access that much RAM.

IPhone 6 with 1 gig of ram, that's disappointing.

hello apple and hello my friends.
i Had iphone 5 with 1 gb ram, i have ipad mini with 1 gb ram, and everytime when i use safari with more than 3 tabs - my iphone or ipad reload pages!
so... I hoped that in iphone 6 apple will add more ram to use safari with 3-4 tabs.. . And yesterday i bought iphone 6 plus and...... Again 1gb of ram... Again page reloads, again no multitasking in safari without page reload..
I Pay over than 1000$ FOr iphone and i get same ram as my iphone 5 !!! I have same problems with safari!! It's terrible .
why samsung puts 3-4 gigs of ram, and apple just 1gig? Because of soft and hardware optimization?? No!!! Because they make money on us! After one year they will make iphone 6s with REVOLUTION 2 gb of ram and REVOLUTIONARY SAFARI MULTITASKING.
and now question to apple.
my iphone 6 plus reloads safari pages, how can u fix my iphone?

I suppose it's a hardware development bug. Safari and Navigation software with dozens of POI on the map is always a headache for 1GB of RAM.
Just made a post here about it, but it was deleted with the following reason stated: We removed your post iPhone 6/6 Plus lost 1Gb or RAM. because it contained information about beta software available only to Registered Apple Developers
By the way: this brings some understanding regarding this issue.

16 Gig of RAM but only 3.2 gig showing as available in CS5

Hi,
This is my first post so I hope it is in the right place.
I have just received my new machine. It should be quite a monster. It is a top of the line i7 2600nCPU @ 3.4 GHz running Windows 7 64 bit with 16 gig of RAM and 3 drives. Drive 1 for windows and programmes; Drive 2 for data and Drive 3 (a crucial SSD) for the photoshop scratch disk. So it can access Open GL it has a Nvidia GeForce 570/PCI/SSE2 graphics card. It is a fresh install. There are no other programmes running.
After the instal the first thing I did was go to edit -> preferences->performance only to find that I only had only 3,255 MB of ram available. I would have thought that is way way low. I was expecting somthing more like 15,000 MB. Does this sound right and if not what is going on here?
Also, I plan to be working with HDR photography with up to 9 full res shots (captured Raw) with lots of adjustment layers. I have set cache levels to 4 and tile size to 128K. Does this sound about right?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Noel,
Thanks for that. Reinstalled and chose the right options this time. Now I have 14.6 gig of available RAM - much more like it. I have set ram to 90% (13200).. or do you suggest I stay within thier reccomended range of 8066-10560. Bear in mind that I have s fully dedicated high spec 128 gig SSD drrive sitting there as the nominated scratch disk.
Again thanks for your help.

2.8 i7 chip with 8 gigs of ram, or a 2.6 i5 chip with 16 gigs of ram?

I'm considering buying a refurbished macbook pro. Of the two I'm looking at, one has a 2.8 i7 chip and 8 gigs of ram; the other has a 2.6 i5 chip with 16 gigs of ram. Which is preferable? I'm a writer; I do some photo and home video editing, and some gaming (wow)... and I would consider loading up bootcamp or parallels. both machines will sport a 512gb SSD.

Thanks for your help.
I don't see running a ton of software simultaneously, though I've been known to have a metric sh*t-ton of tabs open at any given time (lots of research). For writing, I'll frequently have a word-processing program, a screen-writing program and a PDF open, and possibly youtube. I play mmo's... am I likely to regret it if I run boot camp and try to play any serious games (i.e., skyrim / last of us / cod)?

Ever had a stable G5 with 8 gig of RAM?

Has anyone ever had a G5 run nice and stable with 8 gig of RAM?
I have purchased 16 gig in memory and tried every stick independently and they are all good. BUT put 8 gig in the machine and its unstable. Remove the last two mem slots and stability returns.
I now know my G5 has a hardware problem. It sometimes shows up as a 7 gig memory machine in "About this Mac" and "More Info" shows that the system reads the last two slots as 512 K rather than 1 gig modules. (Not first up but after a short while)
Its my belief that this is more than just my machine. Pieter

Q: *I want to reset NVRAM to factory defaults. How do I do that?*
A: When you start a Macintosh computer you can reset the configuration variables by holding down the following keys, "command-option-p-r", without the quotes. Listen for the second boot beep before releasing the keys and the configuration variables will be reset. When a Macintosh computer starts, control is immediately given to what Apple terms "Hardware Init". This firmware is contained in ROM and must use the microprocessor registers since memory is not tested and initialized.
When you hear the boot beep Hardware Init is finished testing and initializing memory and the microprocessor and passes control to Open Firmware. Open Firmware checks for keys being pressed. In this case, command-option-p-r, is detected and Open Firmware resets NVRAM and then passes control back to Hardware Init which will generate another boot beep. Don't worry if you hold down the keys too long and hear more than two boot beeps. More than two boot beeps will just reenter the startup sequence more times which will not cause any harm.
http://devworld.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1103.html
I would reset nvram each and every time I changed device configuration. Also, test with just new RAM alone. Sometimes RAM does get misreported as to its type/speed (PC2700 showed as PC2600 in G4 MDD) and just "cosmetic" and didn't affect operation.
Running memtest is one way; Apple Hardware Test another. If those two pass, I would not worry.
