Quad 2.5 RAM HELP

So I've just purchased a Quad 2.5 G5... looking to buy RAM now. I know I need to buy them in pairs...
Can anyone confirm if this RAM from OWC will work:

  • Will additional RAM help with Illustrator crashing?

    I just started a new job for a company that didn't have a graphic designer so they had to buy my all new equipment. Nice right? Except when the tech guy gets me an iMac instead of what I requested: a Mac G5 with a Power PC processor. Anyways I have the iMac which is nice, but not so quick when it comes to running Adobe CS2 programs...Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop to be specific. THUS causing me major problems, cause those are the programs I need to use. I've only worked with this computer for a little over a week and Illustrator is consistently crashing when I open a file in Photoshop. This is getting slightly annoying. Will maxing out the RAM help with this problem? I figure it's the fact that Rosetta has to run in the background to run my Adobe programs which is causing the slowness and crashing. I'm used to using a G5, I had one at my previous job and it was pretty nice. AHH! Can I fix it with 2gigs of RAM or will I have to wait for Adobe to release CS3? boo.

    There is being able to run, and there is waiting or not realizing the benefits CS2 + Tiger offer when working on large documents. With small files, under 4GB RAM is desirable, with large files, sometimes you want/need 8 or 12GB RAM.
    And running XP on iMac for those applications while they are still not optimized - but it depends on what your time is worth. Maybe they are waiting for Mac Pro and don't want to invest in G5 (a Quad G5 isn't going to be obsolete tomorrow).
    The lack of 2nd drive or external SATA or FW800 is... odd. Even a MBP can add an ExpressCard w/ 32-bit SATA or FW800.

  • Does adding RAM help solve iMovie4 jerky playback

    I have been reading threads about jerky playback in iMovie4 in large projects, after adding music from iTunes etc. My wife has a monster project and playback during editing has became very eratic. I have emptied cache, repaired the hard drive, repaired permissions etc. I have not tossed iMovie preferences. I have 23 gigs of space on the HD and a 250gig external FW HD that I bought after she started the project on the internal HD. I would like to know from you experts: 1. Would it help to move the project to the larger external HD? 2. Would adding RAM help (currently iMac G5 1.8mhz with 768 megs RAM)? 3. Is there any way to tell if the project will export to iDVD smoothly if it continues to look terrible in iMovie playback? I hate to go through a few hours of rendering for nothing. Thanks so much for your help. I always find good and useful info in discussions.

    Michael, there are some very useful applications that I highly recommend to keep your Mac running smoothly. As a defragmenter I use Allsoft's Disk Warrior that also has a very good directory repair feature. Check out also Drive Genius that has a host of useful features. Also get iMovie file fixers, invaluable tool that is free that will allow iMovie to import certain files in audio and photo formats that are greyed out and also has other features. I believe I got mine from Mr. Lennart Thelander in previous posts here. Cache Out is an excellent application to clear out cache files. I also advise you do a regular permission repair from Disk Utility in your Utilities folder that is on your Mac. These are basically my must have applications. As for copying your iMovie project to your external, just drag your entire project folder ( the blue one with the media and star folder(s) in it directly in the external hard drive. I find that iMovie is one application that requires a clean (defragmented) drive with ample space to spare. I defrag my drives if I trash files often from them, or if I notice erratic and jerky performance or slowness in response. I hope that some of my suggestions will help your in your editing.

  • MacPro Quad Core 32g Ram running slow Logic using only 9g in Activity Monitor

    Well its taken a while, but this is my first foray into the world of forums! I'm so hacked off with this regular problem and havent been able to find anything anywhere to solve it i thought i'd see if anyone has any similiar issues and maybe even a solve to it.
    So.... im an orchestrator and producer and after my mid 2008 Macbook Pro with 8g ram started freezing up i invested in this 3 years ago -
    Mac Pro 2x 2.4ghz Quad Core intel Xeon and stuck in 32gb of lovely Crucial RAM and 3 seperate internal 1TB drives with one for operating system (10.6.8), one for Audio recording/saving and one for all my sample libraries.
    32gb ram - should be enough i thought!
    So i regularly run at least 30 VI's - Ni The giant, Spitfire Orchestral librabies (say 12 string instruments up to 0.69g per load) LASS strings, plus perc STYLUS, ABBEY road drums, Trillian basses (acoustic/electric), ominisphere etc etc. So pretty hefty sample instruments. But theyre sooo nice!!
    In addition, the 32 bit server will come alive (NOT! So unstable i find) with my Waves plugs etc.
    Looking at ACTIVITY MONITOR however i might be not touching 9 gig (and sometimes even less) of usage for Logic, and only say 800MB for 32 bit server and have NOTHING else open - and what do i find .....
    - Mouse lag and cant really do anything with the mouse whilst playing the track - cant adjust volume - too slow, zooming problems
    - Takes a good 2-3 seconds for track to stop playing
    Dont get System OVERLOADS so much, its just that the system goes REALLLLLY slow.
    What ive tried- - -
    - Running Mountain Lion off another drive (havent had time to install it and wanted to be sure everything worked etc)
    - Tried all audio prefs - large/small buffers/threads etc and yes i am on 1024.
    in a nutshell how come with 32g RAM everything is so slow when barely using 10g of that???????
    I dread getting to the end of a project cos i know im gonna be freezing so much, but with so much editing all the time for the orchestral parts i need everything unfrozen and working.
    Sorry if this is long winded but wanted to describe what im experiencing.
    Any feedback most welcome! Thankyou in advance.

    The 32bit server is a pita: Waves v9 are 64bit  compatible (they run fine). 32 bit VI's can be run outside Logic using Vienna Ensemble Pro (see later)

    Some of these VI's are extremely CPU hungry: Abbey Rd drums for example, really do hammer the CPU. What does Logic's Performance meter show in the way of CPU load. What does Activity Monitor show regarding CPU load?
    With 32G of RAM, this should not be the issue, but you might have general CPU problems (see above), and you may also have Sample disk streaming limitations if all the Loibraries you mention are on the same drive. How does Activity Monitor look regarding disk access? You might find it helpful to add a second drive and split the sample libraries across 2 for faster disk access.
    I presume that you have plenty of free space on the System drive?
    Logic can get sluggish if the Undo info gets way too big, and also if there are loads of regions in the Arrange: check Options:Project Information.
    Many are finding some benefits (me included) by running the VI's in Vienna Ensemble Pro:
    Better CPU load distribution than directly in Logic
    "Persistant Samples": they can remain loaded whilst you switch Logic Projects
    Logic is effectively running much less itself, so generally flies.
    32bit Plugs hosted separately in VEP so no 32bit Bridge issues in Logic
    Something to consider,though perhaps not yet, would be setting up a Slave computer using VEP.

  • Power Mac G5 Quad - 6 GB RAM - OSX 10.5.8 - Max RAM available?

    Hello All,
    I have (as the subject reads) a G5 Quad 2.5 GHz with 6 GB RAM running OSX 10.5.8. I use it as a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) and have a question regarding RAM and "bits."
    Is my computer capable of using all 6 GB of RAM at this point? How much RAM could I add - if any - and get the most out of my machine? I read somewhere that Leopard can only handle 4 GB of RAM, but am not too sure. I would like to max out the RAM, but if it only handles 4 GB, then there's no point. I have a Pentium 4 PC with 4 GB RAM and know that XP can handle only up to ~3.6 GHz, but OSX I am not too sure.
    Lastly, what bit-rate is my computer capable of? The box says it is 64 bit, but as I understand, Leopard is only 32 bits. Since the businessmen at Apple chose to make 10.6 available only for Intel Macs, it seems that 64 bits will not be available on my machine. Pretty confusing stuff...
    So, what do you guys think? What's the max RAM that my G5 Quad can use running OSX Leopard? And what exactly is the "bits" deal with my setup all about?
    Thanks in advance for your help! Happy new year!
    Cheers,
    Cam.

    You can add 2*2GB sticks to the 6*1GB sticks you have, no penalty.
    I'd update to 10.5.8 & any other updates, he latest Security update seemed to improve both CPU & RAM usage.

  • 13'' dual-core with 16gb ram vs 15'' quad-core 8gb ram -- ram vs cores?

    Hello.  I am at a point between choosing a 13'' dual-core i5 with 16gb ram vs the 15'' quad-core with 8gb ram - both retinas.
    I will be using photoshop and illustrator while uploading/downloading large files constantly.  After much headscratching I almost decided on the 13'' i5 because from my experience, RAM limitations is where I usually run into problems, and don't see the extra price of i7 worth it when it is still a dual-core.  For the same price I can get a 15'' quad, but will be stuck with 8gb ram.
    I don't care about the screen size, I have good eyes and the weigth trade-off makes this a non-issue.
    I'm thinking about down the road, as either of these I'm sure will be fine solutions.  I'm just wondering where does the edge really come in this case?  Ram or processor / cores?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for your reply tjk, of course with 16gb on the 15'' for $200 more  I'd have easier time, but in this case I am comparing a refurbished - the lowest 15'' 16gb I could find would cost $500 more, I just can't do it. 
    I should make clear that this particular comparison between 13''w/16 and 15''w/8, they are the same price (the 13 being new) - which is why I'm stuck.
    To rephrase - for the same price - which will I regret less in 4 years?
    As a side note, I can't believe I'm even thinking about paying this much money for something that is not upgradeable, but that's another discussion entirely.

  • Help regarding a macbook 2gb RAM HELP!

    hey guys, i am 15 and i am really getting interested in graphic design and video editing (aka photoshop and imovie). I have used PC's all my life but i think it is finally time to jump to the real deal, a Mac. Specifically a MacBook. Now my question is, is this a good deal or no on 2gb of RAM on ebay.

    so is this a good piece of RAM or is it junk?
    also, will this fit in a MacBook and/or should i buy a different brand? if so, from where?
    thanks alot for any help.

    I wouldn't take the risk of buying RAM from an eBay vendor. You ask a very relevant question -- "is this a good piece of RAM or is it junk?" -- and with a no-name vendor, nobody is likely to be able to tell you.
    Many people can answer that question for a whole bunch of known, reputable vendors.
    Some good choices in the US include OtherWorld Computing and Small Dog Electronics; scan the discussions on this forum for many, many others.
    Macs can be touchy about RAM, and the few dollars you might save buying from an eBay vendor simply aren't worth the risk.
    Buy from a reputable, known vendor who will stand behind their product and offer a warranty.

  • Running Windows XP on my Mac. Would more RAM help?

    Unfortunately I need to run XP on my Mac and Im using a parallel, VMware fusion.
    However most of the time my Mac crashes or, if doesn't crash, it works VERY slow.
    I was thinking to buy more RAM (I have 2GB), would that help?
    Thanks
    B

    It depends mostly upon how much RAM you have allocated to your VM and the amount of RAM the VM software requires. Only one VM application should be used, either Parallels or VM Fusion. Trying to use both will require too much RAM for what you have installed in your computer. It's also critical that you have the most recent version of OS X required by the version of Parallels or VM Fusion that you have installed.
    The VM software can require over 1 GB of RAM when running the installed VM assuming you have allocated the minimal RAM needed for the version of Windows you are using. So a system with 2 GBs of RAM is obviously stretching the RAM resource pretty thin. If your particular Mac supports more RAM, then it would be a good idea to install more.
    If your MacBook is a Core Duo model, then 2 GBs is the maximum you can install. If you have a Core2Duo model then 3 GBs would be the maximum based on the information you have provided regarding the version of OS X that's installed. Open System Profiler in your Utilities folder and look at the machine ID listed. If it's 1,1 then you have a Core Duo. If it's 2,1 then it's a Core2Duo.

  • Mavericks uses upp all my ram help ?

    I have 8 GB of ram installed and mavericks seems to use it all up. The memory cache as per activity monitor seems to keep all the data in it until all RAM is used up and then makes free space. I know restarting my MacBook Pro would clear the memory, but I would like to know if there is an alternative? Can anyone please help.  I know my RAM is good and my the hard drive I have installed is an SSD. So this problem is really crippling the potential of my system. Thanks in advance for your help ..

    Maybe we need to see what you have on your system as there is nothing about the way Mavericks is handling your RAM. This is the way OS X's RAM allocation works now.
    OS X Mavericks will use all of the available RAM and dole out that available RAM to other applications, as needed.
    Maybe your issues are elsewhere.

  • Will adding more Ram  help?

    My iMac is 2010. Over the last 3 - 4 months its started to slow down a bit. I  realize sometimes thats just the way things are but I am wondering if there is anything I can do to help. It seems that everything is a bit slow on startup/wakeup. It takes about 5-10 seconds for things to get rolling, that doesn't bother me that much, I can handle it, just pointing out that is different from 3-4 months ago. Once things get rolling its fine.
    iPhoto on occasion slows down, but again for the most part its ok. It's iMovie that really seems to lag. I realize of the things I am using iMovie is probably the most "powerful" program I am using , dealing with all the video files, but it has become very tedious to use. I've tried to "clean up" things a bit and that doesn't seem to really be helping. I am wondering if adding more RAM would help. Currently I have 4 slots filled with 2 GB of Ram. I think thinking of upgrading 2 of those to 4GB.
    I guess I am wondering if that would make a difference? I know in theory adding more "juice" will make things run faster but for the most part the computer does run ok on its own, its iMovie that lags. It it simplky because its a more powerful program and adding more juice will help. Or do we think something else is going on?

  • Will more RAM help?

    Hi everyone,
    I read that a good indication of whether extra RAM would be beneficial is to look at Page Ins and Page Outs on the Activity Monitor System Memory tab.
    So… here's what it says:
    I've got a 17" MacBook Pro, i7 processor, Mid 2010 model currently with the standard 4GB ram.
    Want to go to 8GB, will replace both modules as I have heard it's best to have two modules of the same brand.
    If it's worth doing I would buy them here:
    http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=DFA12F1EA5CA7304
    So, my main questions:
    • Given the info above would it boost performance (I run some pretty heavy apps, iPhoto (large library), Aperture, Illustrator, Pixelmator, iTunes. iMovie, Dreamweaver and often have quite a few open!
    • Are those modules that I linked to OK? I know it sounds daft but they are sooo much cheaper than the Apple ones I'm suspicious that there may be a reason (other than Apple wanting to make a tidy profit!)
    Thanks for any help in advance,
    Phil

    Ok - so RAM arrived today from Crucial, fitted it in about 10 mins, no problems.
    Machine did perform excellently already, or at least so I thought…
    It's now running on Turbo, like someone has greased everything!
    Well worth the £73.15 which included courier to Spain, 3 day delivery.
    So for those interested in comparison, here's before and after (only been on for a couple of hours but still no Page outs)
    Before:
    After
    Thanks for all the advice, seems to make much more sense to spend the extra on the processor with Apple and then do the memory yourself…

  • Will more RAM help handle large Excel files?

    Hi everyone,
    I know this message may be better suited to the Office for Mac Forums website, but the site hasn’t been able to validate me as a new user so far (it's been weeks of trying!), and I’m therefore unable to ask a question. So I have to resort to annoying you here.
    I run Excel 2008 (12.1.7) on a 8-core Mac Pro (early 2008) with 6 Gb of RAM (OS 10.5.6). I encounter a lot of problems working with big files, such as a 385 Mb file comprised of over 600,000 row and 50 columns of mostly data (only a few columns are filled with simple formulas).
    After loading the file (which took quite a while), the Activity Monitor indicated that Excel was using 1.12 Gb of Real memory an 2.11 Gb of Virtual, while 3.66 Gb of RAM was free. When I then attempted to create a PivotTable with this data, the amount of memory used by Excel gradually rose to 1.94 Gb of Real an 2.93 Gb of Virtual (2.85 Gb of Free memory was still available) while reading the data. At this point I then got a message stating that there’s not enough memory. I had to resort to breaking the file up into smaller ones to analyze the data, which is quite annoying.
    I was told that being a 32-bit application, Excel 2008 was limited to handling 4 Gb of RAM. But I thought that 4 Gb being way more than the size of the file on disk, and having 6 Gb of RAM on my machine, I shouldn’t have any problem working with it. Obviously I was wrong. Can someone please clarify what’s going on here? Would more RAM significantly help?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Yes, I bet the Windows version of Excel is better. I think it’s definitely time to try it.
    When you say “having 8 DIMMs”, do you mean filling up the 8 memory slots, or having 8 Gb? I believe I remember seeing that 10 Gb was the sweet spot, with all 8 memory slots occupied. Is that right? And what brand of RAM do you like currently, still OWC?
    Thank you Hatter.

  • Does adding RAM help increase my laptop speed significantly?

    I have a 667MHz Powerbook G4 with 512MB RAM. It's getting really slow lately, especially after installing MacOS 10.4 and Adobe CS2.
    I tried not to open too many programs at a time, but it doesn't seem to help much.
    Does anybody have the same problem with the newer Powerbook or Macbook Pro? I'm wondering if I need a new laptop, or just an extra RAM.

    Hi shintaoetama,
    first of all: WELCOME TO THE DISCUSSIONS!
    Although adding RAM may increase speed a little running some routine system maintenance will certainly speed up things much more radically: MacOS X 10.3/10.4: System maintenance

  • Would ram help my overclocking?

    Hi all!
    After reading a lot on the net about this two rams PC3-12800 DDR3 1600 Mhz /7-8-7-24 /1.6 V / Ripjaws-blue / F3-12800CL7D-4GBRM,G.Skill 2 x 2GB PC3-12800 DDR3 1600 Mhz /9-9-9-24 / 1.5V /Ripjaws-red / F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL I'm now asking if this rams would help me reach my goal O.C. of 3.8ghz,currently I'm stable at 3.59ghz with only my kingston value ram 1333mhz... Which of the two rams would help me gain an extra 200mhz? I'm thinking of getting the red ripjaws because its much cheaper than the blue but it's only c9 compared to the blue c7... I'm asking for advice on which ram should i buy

    If you did a search on this forum you would probably find the majority of reports regarding usage of Ripjaws being negative. They have proven to be more trouble than its worth. I myself and Henry and others for that matter have been using these with great success on the H55 platform, Crucial 2X2gb CT2KIT25664BA1339. Mine are currently running at 1550 at 1,49V 8.8.8.20. They are probably the most underrated modules available and will clock with success to 1600, and that at 1,5V instead of 1,65V as is neeeded for your considered modules. You will find that those are overvolted and overclocked 1333 modules at best.
    Thats my advice, but you will no doubt receive further feedback on this matter, that may include differing viewpoints. It all depends on the personal experience with mem modules that the respondend has had it the past. Certain Corsair modules also come highly recommended, but HU16E can share his experience with those.

    Well they are not freely avialable at all where I am and I actually got mine through family from the UK. But it was worth the wait and hassle.
