Physical size of RAM card

I just bought a 144-piin PC133 512MB SODIMM RAM card from someone who claims that it is specifically for the Powerbook G4. It turns out that the card is actually about a half an inch longer (not wider) than the other SODIMMs I have, and it is about a quarter-inch too long to fit in my Powerbook G4.
My question: Are there any Powerbook G4s out there that will accept such a large memory card? If so, then I can't return the card. If not, then I can. Thank you!

Hello, 
From the Apple developer pages:
"The mechanical characteristics of the RAM expansion SO-DIMM are given in the JEDEC specification for the 144-pin 8-byte DRAM SO-DIMM. The specification number is JEDEC MO-190-C. The specification defines SO-DIMMs with nominal heights of 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, and 2.0 inches.
The PowerBook G4 computer can accommodate SO-DIMMS with heights of 1.25 inches or less."
I'm sure any credible retailer would have checked out this information before making such a claim.

    Sounds just like what was happening with my Alum MB. I took it in and they replaced my battery. It seems to be ok now. I don't know what it is, but my battery was fine before 10.5.6 and the same timeframe of the firmware updates when they came out.
    My battery health was jumping around but was fine before all of this happened. Unfortunately at 381 cycles I don't think you have much chance of getting the battery for free. Perhaps you can complain about the battery saying it was fine until 10.5.6 or whatever. Not sure when your computer was made, but perhaps you are eligible for this program: http://www.apple.com/support/macbook_macbookpro/batteryupdate/

  • Help - my Ibook has no RAM card in it

    Hi all,
    I'm upgrading my husband's OS (he has the Ibook G4 and I want to install Leopard). So I purchased some extra RAM in order to do this and I'm in the process of putting in the new card, and I now I see he has no memory card in his Ibook - is this a problem? Can I just put the new RAM card in?
    Thx

    What version of OS X is now installed?  With the added RAM does the computer meet the other Leopard requirements? Do you have a backup of the computer's hard drive? Have you done the following?
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

  • I wanted to get more RAM, but I want to be able to upgrade it later, can I install two different RAM cards?

    I currently have 4GB in my Macbook Pro. I'm realizing that this isn't sufficient.  I like to edit photos and have Photoshop, Lightroom, and a web browser open at the same time.  I'm pretty sure that maybe 10GB of RAM will do (I'd buy one 8GB card and keep one of the 2GB cards already installed), so in case I would need to upgrade again I could buy another 8GB card. Is it possible to have two different sizes of RAM in the two bays?
    15-inch Macbook Pro (Early 2011) 2GHz Intel Core i7 4GB 133MHz DDR3

    Yes, you can have two different RAM sizes in the slots. Apple doesn't recommend that, but it works. If anything make sure the RAM is the same brand. You'll need the standard 1333MHz DDR3 memory. See HERE for info on installing the memory yourself.

  • Possible to install old ram cards?

    In our home there were 2 iMacs where the memory cards can be removed from the bottom. My computer went in for repair as the screen went white with purple lines. They said for me to get a new computer.This was not an Apple store as there isn't one here.  Hmmm, unsure if the diagnosis was right.. Anyway, can I take out the old 2 ram cards from my old Imac computer and put them into the other one that is the same (there are slots available). Will adding the cards from my past computer as it has stuff on them muck up the computer they go in to?

    It will, if the RAM specifications are different.
    What speed is the RAM from the older iMac and what model is your newer iMac...?

  • Is there a limit on the size of SDHC card that can be read with the iPad camera connectioin kit?

    Is there a limit on the size of SDHC card that can be read with the iPad camera connection kit?

    I've successfully connected 32 gig SDHC and CF cards so if there is an upper limit, it's at least 32 gig.
    I know SDXC will not work.
    With the cards that don't work, have they been formatted correctly? the camera connection kit will only read cards holding images. (Well, it'll only see the images) And those images have to have a file name of exactly 8 characters (DSC_2342 for example) and they  have to be in a folder named DCIM.
    Anything else it wont' read.
    I put a photo on there called 'Christmas' and the connection kit won't see it. I put a photo on there in the DCIM folder named XMAS2342 it'll see that.
    So it's possible that those cards weren't read because they weren't speaking the right language.

  • Is there a limit to size of SD card I can synch with a Mac?

    Hi
    I had a 2GB SD card that synched perfectly with desktop manager on my mac. I bought a 32GB card (having first checked my curve is compatible) but now my mac can't see an sd card (even though the phone can) - wondered if the Mac version of BB DM has a limit on size of SD cards it recognises?

    I suggest you purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly:

  • Maximum size for SD card for N70

    hi
    can anybody please tell me the maximum size for SD card for the N70?
    i only have 64MB at the moment and i want to upgrade.
    many thanks in advance.
    itcrowd
    sheffield, uk

    Just to make sure you don't buy the wrong card: An "SD card" is a very specific type of a memory card. The N70 does *NOT* support SD cards, but rather a card format knows as "DV RS-MMC" (Dual Voltage Reduced Size - MultiMedia Card) or "MMCmobile".
    In any case, it'll probably support any size DV RS-MMC/MMCmobile card that you can find (I think the largest available are 1GB these days, possibly 2GB).
    Note that there is also a non-dual voltage version of the RS-MMC card. It won't work, so make sure your card says "Dual Voltage" or "MMCmobile".

    Hi,
    How can I find how much memory of a card is free with javax.smartcardio?
    Please your advice.
    Thank in advance.

    Is it possible to send a APDU Command to select the root 3F00 and read the properties?There is no built-in smartcardio funationality to do this. What you can do is send an APDU and get the memory by calling the code mentioned already.

  • How to view the physical size of objects

    Hi
    Please advise how to view the physical size of objects like tables, indexes, materialize views etc.
    Wishes
    Jawad

    To see the physical size of objects like tables, indexes, use
    USER_SEGMENTS where SEGMENT_TYPE=table/index/partition etc.
    But for views/packages/java/trigger, you can only see rough estimate in USER_OBJECT_SIZE

  • Upgrading RAM cards not showing up in system profiler... is this normal?

    Just replaced both 1GB RAM cards in my macbook pro with two 2GB RAM cards, but when I go into "about my mac" it is still saying that I only have 2GB of memory, and when I go into system profiler and click "memory" it is still showing/giving details on two 1GB cards, is this normal or did I not install the new RAM cards properly? I assumed it would update the info to show the additional memory?

    This is not normal
    Open up the Mac and reseat the RAM modules. This may help.
    If this doesn't resolve the issue, return the modules to the supplier and get the proper modules.
    Best.

    "The ACS Database needs to be compressed as a part of maintenance operation. You can run the acsview-db-compress command from acs-config mode to reduce the physical size of the view database when there is a difference between the physical size and actual size of the view database. ACS 5.5 stops only the log collector services during compress operation and will be up and running after the compress operation is completed. You need to enable the log recovery feature to recover the log messages that are received during the database compress operation.
    In ACS 5.5, database compress operation is automated. You can check the Enable ACS View Database Compress check box to compress the ACS View database automatically every day at 5 A.M. The database compress operation is run everyday automatically at 5 A.M whenever there is a need."
    I already tried to manually compress the DB via "acsview-db-compress" without any effect. 

    Hello,
    You're running into bug CSCum51180. The alarm should be a warning, not critical, and should be raised only when the physical size exceeds the actual size by more than a gigabyte (in your case, the difference is very small, 1.5 vs. 1.48).
    The fix should be present on a future patch.

  • Size of RAM in Win 7 64 Bit affecting performance in CS4

    Does anyone know how the size of RAM will assist  CS4 performance - particularly for H264 file encoding?
    I am running an i7-930 processor and 6GB of XMS3 Corsair RAM in a ASUS P6T motherboard - on Win 7 64 Bit
    Would increasing RAM to a full 12GB have any significant effect - or would this be hardly noticeable?
    Finally - for anyone that has upgraded to CS5 what are the practical benefits - any performance improvements noticeable?
    In particular I find Encore CS4 slow.
    Rgds

    I kinda think that sometimes with ram issues you have to consider the front side bus speed too...and the cpu speed of course..but the FSB and specs of the ram to match more or less the most you can get out of the FSB I think has a big influence on your performance.
    ps...think of the FSB as a sort of pipe that you can shove stuff through just so fast...and it's linked to ALL the stuff going on between the cpu, ram, gpu ( if used ) and so on...sooo, it's sometimes the thing that determines the overall performance in terms of speed

  • How to make AI document display same physical size as mobile screen?

    I know this seems like a bush-league sort of question, but I can't find the answer.
    I'm designing some screens for an retina display iPad and I just want the illustrator document on my 27" thunderbold monitor (at 109 ppi) to have the same physical dimensions as the physical iPad screen (7.75" x 5.81").  Maybe its so obvious that no one talks about how to do it.  I do feel a little embarassed that I haven't figured this out.
    Regardless of whenther I enter the doucment dimensions in inches or in pixels the resulting document is never the same pysicial size as the iPad's screen.  And since Illustrator deals in vectors it doesn't have any notion of PPI that I can use to bring inches and pixels into alignement so that what I see on my monitor is the same physical size as what's in the iPad.
    All i want is the AI document displayed on my monitor to be the exact same size as my iPad's screen.  Can anyone help?

    Photoshop has a "Screen Resolution" feature in its Settings which allows you to enter your screen resolution of 109 and this will display the physical size of images when you choose Print Size from the View menu. It simply will display the image at the appropriate zoom level for you. Unfortunately Illustrator doesn't have this, it always assumes that your monitor is 72ppi resolution. The problem with implementing custom monitor resolution in Illustrator is that it is a vector program and unlike Photoshop it doesn't have a ppi settings for its vector objects which are resolution independent. For the use of its rulers and numerical dimensions input when set to pixels, it has to assume an eventual ppi rasterization of the vector objects. If Illustrator uses the same feature like Photoshop then the same Illustrator file will show different pixel dimensions depending on which monitor it is displayed which may cause a much greater confusion than the problem you have now.
    To find the physical size in Illustrator, right click on its ruler and set it to units that you have on a real life ruler. Then put the real life ruler on your screen and change the zoom level until the rulers in Illustrator are the same size as the real life ruler. Then write down the zoom level and use it again when you want to check the physical size of your work.
    I think with your 109 ppi monitor, the zoom level should be about 152%
