RAM increase in 1.67 G4

I want to get mom's old 15" 1.67ghz powerbook ready to stream video with SnowLeopard/iTunes10/the new apple tv.
What should i do/use to install the max amount of ram?
The two slots are now:
sodimm0/J20standard 512-pc2-4200S-444
sodimm1/J23reversed empty

No Powerbook can run Snow Leopard at all, and none can be expected to stream video very well.
To maximize RAM, remove the existing 512MB module and install two 1GB modules.

TA25252 ram increase on powermac g3

is there anyway of increasing the ram on a blue and white power mac g3 to (for example) 8 gb because i really like the look of the g3s case and i want to make it a faster mac!

You can upgrade the CPU to a G4 which will will help your performance some. I loved my blue and white, a great system that served my family for years.

How To RAM Increase In Server 2008 Standard Above 64Bit

I have a IBM server System x3650 M4 with installed Operating System windows 2008 server standard R2 64bit, we are facing a problem of RAM usage in windows, i have installed total 64GB RAM in server but RAM showing is 32GB usable in windows properties,
How i am increase RAM by any command or any Patch of windows server 2008 standard R2 64bit, pls help me as soon as possible.

32GB is the maximum RAM that can be used by Standard. In order to use more you need to use a different edition. Enterprise and Datacenter have a maximum of 2TB RAM. See this description:

Will more ram increase my performance?

I'm running Logic Pro 7.1.1 on a Powerbook G4 1.67 with 1 GB of ram installed running a fair amount of sample libraries and effects. When I check the Activity Monitor under system memory I get the following:
Wired: 108 MB
Active: 600 MB
Inactive: 300 MB
Free: 13 MB
Since I still have a decent amount of inactive memory, does that mean that more ram would not affect my performance? Or will more ram help out with system overloads?

i'm always careful in wholeheartedly saying 'yes' when people ask if more RAM will give more performance.. while of course it will in almost every case help things along, sometimes quite dramatically, I think it's important to be realistic about what it actually does.
it's easy to have the misconception that more RAM = more plug ins on some kinf of linear scale -- I had 2GB, so now with 4GB I should get something like double the performance, right? just as long as you're clear why this isn't the case, then that's the main thing.
I think since the days of CPU cards like protools TDM, the confusion is out there that adding RAM is like adding more DSP. so you just have to be careful that you understand what it's doing any why it can free your system up to do a little more. you can indeed see decent increases if your machine was struggling along before, given what you were trying to get it to do. or, it may just be a subtle thing.
IMO the best way to think of it is this. your machine has the capacity to perform up to a certain level. when you start getting it to do a lot of things, you will start creating a hindrance to it performing as fast as it can as soon as there are moments when it doesn't have enough RAM to do it. this amount will be different for everyone, dependant on your own use. so, the best thing you can do is remove the bottlenecks, and you'll best let your machine go as fast as it will go.

4g- 8gb Ram increased performance!! (mini server i7)

Ok you guys are all rolling your eyes but hear me out. I have the miniserever quad and i run Final CutX, Motion, Logic (with EastWest, StudioDevil, Antares plugins) and this thing screams with 4gb. But...motion really chops that memory up fast, as does FCX, and Superior Drummer. I had to close all other apps and it still those guys ate 4gb. So I upgraded to the maximum 8gb.
Here's the thing...everything got faster even when ram was not maxed out!
Final Cut and Motion open in half the time now. Everything is faster and more responsive. Logic loads programs in a snap (minus the 64bit au bug). Now, I've never noticed a difference like this. Never. And I've always upgraded parts and pieces and op systems when available. Does anybody know anything about this? Why would changing ram speed up processes that do not max out ram? Maybe Crucial ram is superior to the Samsung ram that ships in the unit. From now on, I'm maxing out all new computers immediately! Maybe it's a Grand Central Dispatch thing. Anyway, I could not be happier with a 55$ upgrade. It feels like a new computer. Which is great, cause it was only a week old when it was "old".

Thank you. Appreciate that. I actually don't use it as a server at all, so I plan to use the server drive as backup to the publications. I have considered buying the MacProp but when I visited the Southampton UK store two weeks ago, I noticed that the power lead going into the back of the Mac Pro had actually split all the way around leaving the core wires bare albeit for their protective sleeve. So if that's the quality of the build I thought this is a lot of money for what is a marketing design. Frankly that design doesn't work because for professional applications we users need something practical - not pretty.
However, the Mac Mini design for us is OK although I don't see the need to design computers as small as they can be. If something goes wrong you need to fix it not have to take a University degree in mechanics and electronics. Yes the previous G5 style computers were built like tanks, but something in between would suit us professionals. It doesn't need to fit in a ladies handbag but something of a cube 7 or 8 inches all around would be very practical. I hope Sir Jonathan reads this!
Thank you for your help.

IMac won't boot windows 7 after ram increase to 12gb

Hi all, just wondering if anyone has has a problem trying to load up windows 7 in boot camp after installing 2 4gb sticks of ram in their iMac. I have a iMac intel core 2duo and the ram is working fine in OSX. When I try to boot up in windows it just sits on the black screen with the flashing icon. I took the extra ram out and it booted up just fine. The version of windows 7 is the ultimate edition 64bit.
Any help would be great
Thanks
Mike

Fixed the problem with this setup
Of course this means i just lost 4GB.
Let me tell the full story.
In the beginning, long ago, once upon a time. My iMac had 2x2GB ram sticks which were in the two DIMM1 Banks. I then told myself "I WANT MORE RAM BECAUSE LOLZ". So i bought 2x4GB ram sticks. The two empty slots were Bank 0/DIMM0 and Bank 1/DIMM 0. and I added them in there. having done that, I booted OS X up, worked great, had 12GB, everything was shiny and beautiful. Soon after I wanted to try it out on windows. I restarted my computer and BAM the blinking cursor just sits there, being stubborn and all. I then told myself "holy balls, this new ram i got is bonkers" (them words, I blame the language filter). Then after giving it a little thought, i just asked myself if it was because I had ram from two different manufacturers. I removed my old ram, which has nice Samsung stickers on them, and booted it up on windows. Still had the same problem, I then decided that maybe this is all really mentally challenged so to win I had to think like a retard. I took my new ram and inserted it in the same slots where my old ram sticks were (DIMM1 Banks), booted windows up and IT WORKED.
I still hold all of my WHYs on this subject but I will keep messing around to see if I find a better solution than just leaving both DIMM0 banks empty

Computer freezes after RAM increase

I have a Compaq desktop with this motherboard MCP61PM-HM rev 2.2 running windows 7.
Made a memory increase from 2GB to 8GB with 4 compatible memmory sticks. Computer launches windows but then freezes. I can see it recognises the 4 memmory sticks and it keeps working in safe mode but not in normal mode.
Tried the different sticks, they all seem ok and work well until 3 (6Gb); when I add the 4th one (8Gb) it crashes again.
What should I do? thanks

Yes!! you are correct
This unit should support upto 8GB Memory Module and you can confirm the same by looking into the below shown link.
I am not sure why it is not working

RAM increase prevents boot up on HPpavilion ze4420us

Hello, I installed 2x512k RAM boards from on-line store to get max 1 gig; trusted their technical match. Refuses to bootup; only cycles keyboard lights on/off (screen stays black). Individually all boards work in original slot, but when 2nd slot occupied computer won't run windows.
Company sent replacement boards (Samsung mfr) which they pretested - stil NG. Again, boards will work as a single 512k . HP spec max at 1gig split across two 512K boards. At HP site I updated BIOS. No improvement.
Thnx

Increase RAM in dv6-7011tx from 6GB to 16GB

Hi,
I just bought HP Pavilion Dv6-7011Tx Notebook PC 2 months back.
It came with 6GB of RAM. Now I need 16 GB which I believe, the notebook supports.
Since its under warranty which is still under process, I need to know how & from where can I get the RAM increased.
Also while buying the product there was an option to upgrade the Harddrive to a bit bigger capacity, so from where can I get all this info for upgrading the hardware.
Thanks.

Here is a link to the service manual for your notebook. There are a few sections which will be helpful for you.
Under "Specifications" there will be a section dedicated to the hard drive. This section will provide you the information you need to select a compatiable hard drive. The section named "removal and replacement procedures" will show you how to disassemble the notebook to upgrade the RAM and hard drive.
As far as finding parts you should be able to use any hard drive as long as it meets those specifications. With memory that is a little different. I want to make sure I suggest the exact type of memory that your notebook will need. Could you post the full model number of your notebook for me please? I hope I've been helpful!

I have 1Gb ram and the inactive ram keeps on increasing.

Hi , I ugraded my ram to 1Gb, however inactive ram increases even after closing applications. Seems that a restart will free more memory. Does the Mac OS automatically free inactive memory to free memory when applications are closed. Some time the inactive memory increases until free memory is reduced and Mac OS slows down. Is this normal?

Have a look at this page, it might answer a few questions.

Mixing RAM chips

My Mac Pro, early 2009 came with 6x 1 Gb memory. I ordered 2x4 Gb and cannot find a combination that allows me to mix the 2 sizes of chips. I did find the error in the manual that stated 2 chip configurations should use 1 and 2 instead of the correct 1 and 5. Any combo of 4 Gb and 1 Gb chips leaves me with a blinking power light and no boot up.
Am I missing the magic combination? For now I'm running 2x4 Gb and contemplating adding a 3rd 4Gb and leave the 1 Gb chips in the drawer.
TIA, Glen

Thanks for the responses,
the chips came from Memory America and their support folks have now stated that 4 Gb chips cannot be mixed with other size chips, same as posted here for OWC. This is a new development in Mac memory that should be a more public. I've now got 6x 1Gb sticks to use for fishing lures and need to buy another 4 Gb stick to achieve a significant RAM increase.
this Mac Pro will be used for 3D rendering of microscopy images, which ***** up a lot of RAM.
Regards, Glen

How much RAM should I upgrade too?

I recently purchased a 13" MacBook Pro. It is a mid-2012 model. It currently has 4 GB. I connect it to an external monitor which makes it easier for me to use while editing. I always have the application sit and load with the spinning ball icon. I use FCPX, Photoshop, and After Effects on a daily basis. I was wondering if the RAM increase would help me create my videos more efficently. Thanks for all the comments and help ahead of time!

You should benefit from adding more RAM. How much is hard to say but at least to 8 GBs. You might know more if you observed your memory usage in Activity Monitor.
About OS X Memory Management and Usage
Using Activity Monitor to read System Memory & determine how much RAM is used
Memory Management in Mac OS X
Performance Guidelines- Memory Management in Mac OS X
A detailed look at memory usage in OS X
Understanding top output in the Terminal
The amount of available RAM for applications is the sum of Free RAM and Inactive RAM. This will change as applications are opened and closed or change from active to inactive status. The Swap figure represents an estimate of the total amount of swap space required for VM if used, but does not necessarily indicate the actual size of the existing swap file. If you are really in need of more RAM that would be indicated by how frequently the system uses VM. If you open the Terminal and run the top command at the prompt you will find information reported on Pageins () and Pageouts (). Pageouts () is the important figure. If the value in the parentheses is 0 (zero) then OS X is not making instantaneous use of VM which means you have adequate physical RAM for the system with the applications you have loaded. If the figure in parentheses is running positive and your hard drive is constantly being used (thrashing) then you need more physical RAM.
Adding RAM only makes it possible to run more programs concurrently. It doesn't speed up the computer nor make games run faster. What it can do is prevent the system from having to use disk-based VM when it runs out of RAM because you are trying to run too many applications concurrently or using applications that are extremely RAM dependent. It will improve the performance of applications that run mostly in RAM or when loading programs.

Mac Mini RAM issue

Hi all,
I've recently replaced my MBP with a late 2012 Mac Mini (2.5GHz i5). I migrated a Time Machine backup of the MBP straight on to the Mac Mini after unboxing and this worked a treat.
The Mac Mini has 4GB of RAM but seems to use half of it just sitting idle with no apps running. Is this normal? I had 4GB in the MBP but never experienced this kind of issue. For instance, I'm typing this into Firefox whilst listening to a podcast in iTunes and there's only 1.3GB of RAM free.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Thanks lllaass.
That makes sense but it's obvious to me that 4GB isn't going to be enough for anything more than light use, particularly if I open the likes of Photoshop. I've been using Memory Clean in an attempt to free up RAM when required but it never really makes available more than 2GB of the 4GB total.
I'm going to upgrade the Mac Mini gradually, starting with a RAM increase to 8GB (and possibly 16GB) and then an SSD replacement.
