OWC's Own Memory....Worth Going For?

I wanna upgrade my Macbook Pro to 4Gigs of memory.
Is OWC's own brand of memory reliable?
Also, is their CAS 4 High-Performance tuned low-latency memory a noticeably better performer ? It's just $4 more than their standard modules.

I recently upgraded my memory to 4 GB with OWC CAS 4 High-performance tuned low-latency memory recently, and it has been working flawlessly. No idea if it is noticeably better than standard with what I usually do, but hey, it was just $4 more. Quite a bargain, really. The 1 GB memory stick I bought for my iBook at the same time cost nearly as much as the 4 GB for my MBP.

  • Use several instances of a dll, each having its own memory

    Hello,
    is it possible to use the CallLibraryNode to load several instances of a dll but each of it should have its own memory space?
    For CINs, there are functions like GetDSStorage and SetDSStorage which provide private memory for each instance of a CIN.
    These functions doesn't seem to work in Dlls.
    Is there something similar available for Dlls?
    Thank you.

    You need to have the DLL provide that functionalty explicitedly. Not by loading the DLL multiple times but by functionality that allocates a memory block to contain the local data of that instance and deallocate it afterwards. If you know C++ you basically would implement an object that is the instance of your operation/data.

  • When i run exe built in Labview 7.1 the memory usage goes on increasing

    Dear Sir/Madam
    I have built an application in LabView 7.1. When i run this application and view the memory usage in Task manager, i find that the memory usage goes on increasing.
    Please help.
    With Regards

    Hi, Ravindra,
    It looks that you have memory leak in your application.
    There are lot of possible reasons for memory leaks - opened in cycle and not closed references, continuosly growing arrays, memory allocation in own DLLs, etc.
    Normally you should have the same behaviour in development environment as well (memory of LabVIEW.exe incresed continuously).
    You should check the code, which executed repeatable (while/for loops) for allocated, but not closed resources. What you can do is following - remove (or isolate) parts of you code, executed in cycles, then check is leak present or not. So, step by step you will found the place where leak occurred.
    best regards,
    Andrey. 

  • I am backing up my computer to an external hard drive using Time Machine.  It has been at 288.91 "used" for a while... should I just let it ride?  It's been going for about 7 hours now.

    I am backing up my computer to an external hard drive using Time Machine.  It has been at 288.91 "used" for a while... should I just let it ride?  It's been going for about 7 hours now

    It does not immediately delete the files that are missing.. it merely tries to backup the new files it has discovered on the external drive. Since you moved the files there, the backup at least for a while will contain both copies.. and that is why it doesn't have enough space to backup.
    Fixing the problem.. hmm pondini is the expert.. you should be able to delete the backup of the photos in existing backup.. there are instructions to do it.. but it is a very poor way to do things.
    Much better. .archive off the existing backup.. this is long and slow but worth it. you need a usb drive of the same size as the TC drive. Then erase the TC and start a fresh set of backups.
    The alternative is to use the USB drive as a new target.. but it is much slower than the TC internal drive.

  • I've got a Zen 8gb, but probably going for an iPod because.

    My Zen 8GB is my first mp3 player. This player is really something when it comes to watching videos and movies. I have no major complaints.... But searching the net and discovering more about ipod i finally quit the idea of buying the new Zen 32GB and going for an ipod classic 80GB. Probalby i'll give the Zen to my wife. The reasons that push me to that are: . In my opinion an ipod is more stylish than Zen. Zen is plastic while an ipod (6th generation) is metallic. 2. No card integration to the players library so far (and i don't know if it ever that happens). At least the moderators here in this forum should post something like "ok boys and girls, we are working on this, stay cool". No news about that. 3. When it comes to fast forwarding in a movie you can not see at wich point is the movie. No preview while fast forwarding while an ipod can do that. 4. The wheel button on the ipod is really something and much more handy than the cross-square button on Zen. 5. 80GB versus 32GB...big difference. I need more space...! 6. The price of an ipod classic 80GB is much lower than the 32GB Zen. I know (as a friend in here replied to me) that the flash memory Zen uses is of a better quality than the hard dri've of the ipod and i respect that...i really do...but i think i am sticking at the older technology. The only thing that for the moment i see as a minor concerning the ipod, is that you have to use itunes to do everything. For the moment, and not seeing that in act, that worries me a bit. Zen is purely drag and drop into the player...no worries! But i think i can manage that when i get the hung of it. I don't know if my thoughts are right or i've been brain washed by all that apple-propaganda. The thing is that apple's products are everywhere. Here in Greece you can find anything on apple's product but concerning Zen...we stuck on the 8GB version. No 6 or 32GB versions yet...! Why I think that this shows people's petition here in Greece and it's not satisfying. I heard that especially when it comes to player like Zen V Plus and Zen V (and that comes from a people that works in a store selling electronics and computers)... "people are bringing them like crazies back to as for refund or to give them a new one cause 50% of those players are faulty" Anyway...if someone has a different view on that matter i would be glad to hear it. I am not against Creative, i really do like the product but i just don't think it can reach the ipod classic.

    When Creative had their harddisk players they are cheaper than the flash memory versions but there are several limitations to harddisk based players.
    Firstly, a harddisk has moving parts and a small size harddisk used by the MP3 players would inevitably be more sensiti've and face a higher probably of damage. It all depends on how you plan to use the player. If you are going to place the player on a table while you listen to it then the harddisk based players would work fine. However, if you plan to be on the move while listening to your music then this type of activity would increase the possibly of harddisk damage. Just jogging or cycling with your harddisk based MP3 players may be enough to damage the harddisk and render the player unusable. Dropping it would indeed be a big no-no. However if the player is flash memory based, you can shake it, drop it (within a reasonable distance) and so on would not damage the player. You may scratch the exterior but that pretty much all the damage you would cause.
    Secondly, because a harddisk player has moving parts, it would inevitable draw more power and thus you will need a huge and powerful battery in order to provide sufficient power and thus the harddisk based players are bigger and bulkier. The flash memory does not use as much power and thus the battery used can be smaller. Besides flash memory are thin and thus you can get smaller and lighter players which can fit nicely in the pocket.
    Thirdly, the harddisk typically would have a lower Meantime Before Failure compared to Flash memory and thus it would mean the flash memory based players would typically last a lot longer.
    The harddisk manufacturers from what I read are scaling down on harddisk for mp3 players as the prices of flash memory comes down and rendering the cost benefits of the harddisk redundant.
    ?However, in the end, the choice is pretty much yours.

  • Modifying Memory Optimization parameter for BPEL process in SOA 11g

    Hello
    I have turned on memory optimization parameter for my BPEL process in the composite.xml (11g)
    this is what I have in composite.xml:
    <property name="bpel.config.inMemoryOptimization">false</property>
    How do we modify this parameter in the EM console at runtime? I changed this property to "true" using the System MBean browser, but it wasn't taking effect. I thought the SOA server must be restarted (similar to what we used to do in 10g). But when I restart the SOA server, the parameter goes back to whatever the value was in the composite.xml ignoring the change I made in the System MBean browser
    Please share your thoughts.
    Thanks in advance.
    Raja

    Deploying a newer version is not an option, as the endpoints could change (not sure if it would in 11g, but in 10g it does) and also, our service consumers will be pointing to the older version.As mentioned above, if clients are using URL without version then call will be forwarded to default version of composite internally. No manual tweaking required for this. Just make sure that while deploying the new version you are marking it as default.
    Besides, we report on service metrics and having multiple versions just complicates things.Not at all. If you are not using versioning feature, you are really under utilizing the Oracle SOA 11g. Remember that metrics can be collected for a single composite with same effort, irrespective of the number of composite versions deployed. Only few product tables refer the version while storing composite name and rest all use only the composite name without version. I do not know how you are collecting service metrics but we use DB jobs for same it works perfectly with any number of composites having multiple versions deployed.
    The idea is to do some debugging and collect audit trail in case there is a production issue by disabling inMemoryOptimization parameter. This is a live production environment and deploying whenever we want is not even an option for us, unfortunately. Why not debug by increasing log level. Diagnostic logs are the best option to debug an issue even in production. For getting audit trail you may re-produce the issue in lower environments. I think no organization will allow re-deployments just for debugging some issue in production until and unless it is too critical issue to handle.
    Does this not supported in 11g? if it isn't, it does seem like a bug to me. You may always go ahead and raise a case with support.

  • "db file scattered read" too high and Query going for full table scan-Why ?

    Hi,
    I had a big table of around 200mb and had a index on it.
    In my query I am using the where clause which has to use the
    index. I am neither using any not null condition
    nor using any function on the index fields.
    Still my query is not using the index.
    It is going for full table scan.
    Also the statspack report is showing the
    "db file scattered read" too high.
    Can any body help and suggest me why this is happenning.
    Also tell me the possible solution for it.
    Thanks
    Arun Tayal

    "db file scattered read" are physical reads/multi block reads. This wait occurs when the session reading data blocks from disk and writing into the memory.
    Take the execution plan of the query and see what is wrong and why the index is not being used.
    However, FTS are not always bad. By the way, what is your db_block_size and db_file_multiblock_read_count values?
    If those values are set to high, Optimizer always favour FTS thinking that reading multiblock is always faster than single reads (index scans).
    Dont see oracle not using index, just find out why oracle is not using index. Use the INDEX hint to force optimizer to use index. Take the execution with/witout index and compare the cardinality,cost and of course, logical reads.

  • IPhone filling its own memory?!

    Hello,
    My iPhone 4S appears to be filling its own memory. I am almost constantly getting the "Storage Almost Full" message, and every time I re-sync to my MacBook and delete stuff to free up memory, but somehow it always gets full again with 0 bytes available.
    Less than an hour ago I updated to the latest iOS and deleted 3GB worth of apps and photos. I have not even used my iPhone since then, yet 5 minutes ago I got the "Storage Almost Full" message again. I promptly went into settings to check the usage (I've occassionally gotten the message when my iPhone has been a bit confused), but sure enough I have 0 bytes available!
    What gives???? I'm ready to throw this thing across the room!
    Thank you!

    by looking at the specs the laptop is better but if your not a gamer or graphics designer  then you most likly wont notice a difference in the performance at all so with that said a few downsides
    the processor is i5 the i7 processor is the better processor the graphics card has half the dedicated memory that the laptop has and the hdd compared to the solid state is not much of a difference unless you wanna move your computer all the time you wont need a solid state drive
    but like i said before if your not a gamer or graphics designer on your computer you will not notice the difference most likely

    I have a 8GB Ipod touch. I the other ine is worth the difference, because the simple ios 5.0 takes like 3 GB!!!
    Another reason is that new  some apps take 500 MB. I'm going to ask for the 32GB model for Christmas, and I am very disappointed with the amount of files you can have in the 8GB Ipod.
    Hope it helps you!

  • How to improve select stmt performance without going for secondary index

    Hi friends,
    I have a select statement which does not contains key fields(Primary index) in where condition. And I have to improve that select stmt performance without going for the secondary indexes.
    Can you plese suggest the alternative way for this?.
    Thanks in advance,
    Ramesh.

    Hi,
    If , possible create a secondary index opf your own But if you have restriction on this, try to arrange the fields in where clause in the same order as they appear in the very table.
    This will help the performance a bit.
    Another issue, If your table doesn't contain any critical data or data in them are not updated frequently, you may go for Bufferring . it is a good alternate of Indexing with above limitations.
    For details in bufferring , check, and all the sublinks.

  • Why we are going for OOALV insted of function modules ?

    Why we are going for OOALV insted of function modules. ?
    Its very easy to use function modules directly compared to OOALV.
    IS there any particular reasons or any advantanges of using ooalv
    Thanks & regards,
    hari priya

    Hi
    a) from abap coding point of view,
    alv list is done with Function modules,
    alv gris can also be done with FM,
    but can also be done using OO concepts.
    b) Alv grid (using oo concept) requires
    designing the screen layout .
    Hence, in one screen, we can show more
    then one alv grid
    (we cannot show more than
    one alv list on one screen)
    c) ALV grid uses ActiveX controls
    present on the Presentation Server.
    Hence, it consumes More Memory
    on the presentation server.
    d) ALV LIST is Display Only.
    Whereas
    ALV Grid Can Be made EDITABLE for entry purpose.
    e) In alv grid, these options are possible,
    but not in alv list.
    without horizontal lines
    without vertical lines
    without cell merging during sorts
    display total lines above the entries
    ALV LIST Can be coded using only FMs
    ALV GRID Can be coded using FMs and object oriented concepts
    ALV LIST Can be displayed hieraicharlly
    ALV GRID cannot be displayed hierarichally

  • I am no musician, but have owned an iMac now for around four years. During that time I have had Garageband installed. I have dipped in and out very occasionally as I would like nothing more than to be able to get my head around it just for my own amusemen

    I am no musician, but have owned an iMac now for around four years. During that time I have had Garageband installed. I have dipped in and out very occasionally as I would like nothing more than to be able to get my head around it just for my own amusement really. I would at least like to be able to record my electric guitar with loops and tracks etc, just try to be a bit creative and see what comes out. The problem that I have is that perhaps its me, but every time I try to get to grips with this software, I just can't seem to get my head around it, even to begin to do something. I have now recently downloaded 10.0.2 which is confusing in itself, as, as far as I can ascertain that is actually version 11, but I'm not even sure about that. I have also recently purchased a Rocksmith RealTone Cable to connect my guitar. I can sometimes get a sound come out, but nothing to brilliant. And every time I try to set something up, it just doesn't seem to work out. I end up hitting buttons and controls in the simple hope that I may hit the correct control in order to get some sort of result. But I'm kind of fumbling in the dark with this. I have trawled the Internet just trying to find either a good manual or video tutorials for absolute beginners, but there just simply doesn't seem to be anything of that nature out there and what there is appears always to be very sketchy and not particularly detailed in explaining anything properly, and so I always find myself seemingly jumping in with both feet and just struggling to try and find a foothold with this on how to really begin. It is so frustrating as I can see the fantastic potential of this software, but just can't understand how to use it properly. If there is anyone out there who may be able to offer me some advice with this, I would be most grateful indeed... Many Thanks.

    I have now recently downloaded 10.0.2 which is confusing in itself, as, as far as I can ascertain that is actually version 11, but I'm not even sure about that.
    Version 10.0.2 is the newest version and the successor to GarageBand '11 (version 6.0.5).
    The '11 is referring to the iLife '11 suit of multimedia application - the older GarageBand was a part of this bundle.
