RAM NOT GIVING PERFORMANCE BOOST?

I had 1gb of Ram in my Pc, and it was slow.
I bought 2x 1gb ram and now have 2gb ram, and it is slower than before, why is this? is the Ram faulty? maybe too much use from used product?

There are other factors also:
1.May be other programs are running in the background,which are consuming memory and CPU-You can check that by opening Task Manager.
2.Optimize Drives by Disk Defragmenter
Ref:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows/improve-performance-defragmenting-hard-disk#1TC=windows-7
3.Manually run the Chkdsk
Open the "Computer"
Right-click on the drive.
Select the "Tools" tab
In the Error-checking area, click <Check Now>.
4.Malwares-if present will again make your system slower.
5..Anti virus application runs at the background and it makes things slower.

8.0.2 and new ram, performance boost or waste of time?

Hi all,
I am going to add more ram to my MacBook. I understand that my MacBook officially only accepts of 2GB of ram (2x 1 gig sticks)I have read that many folks have put 4 gigs in a 2x2 gig matched pair configuration in there machine to get a maximum of 3 gigs. As I understand it this is not a supported configuration.
I don't mind paying for 4 gigs to only 3 my question is, would this make Logic unstable? I only use this machine for Logic and the apps that come with Logic Studio 1. I only go on line with it for updates and such so my main concern is keeping this machine stable for Logic.
Also I am imaging that increasing ram from 1 gig to even just the 2 that is officially supported will give me a bit of a performance boost but in what ways will I notice it in relation to Logics performance?
Also any recommendations for RAM in the UK would be very welcome.
Sorry for such a dull question,
Regards,
Jay

Hey Notefarm, a lot of my friends ( including myself and I noticed somebody else linked it here as well the other day ) use Crucial because of the macapp you can download which will tell you want you can have RAM wise and how much it's gonna cost you.

Is there a big performance boost from 2008 MacBook Pro to i7 iMac/Mac Pro?

I'm trying to determine if a new desktop is worth the investment. I have a 2008 MacBook Pro, 2.4 GHz and 4GB of RAM. I'm getting a little frustrated with it when using it with Aperture and Final Cut Express. It's just too sluggish for me.
But before I drop about $2500 on a new Mac Pro or iMac, I want to be sure I'm going to see a huge performance boost over my laptop. I'd hate to spend all the money only to find my photos and videos process only 10 or 15% faster than before. I'd like to see a new machine perform twice as fast but maybe that's unrealistic. I'm just not sure.
Can someone please tell me what I should expect? Thanks.

Hi,
Barefeats has done all sorts of tests http://www.barefeats.com/
Maybe these two http://www.barefeats.com/mbpp20.html http://www.barefeats.com/mbpp18.html can give an impression on what to expect (i7 iMac - MBP 3.06 C2D)
Hope it helps

Added new RAM - now old RAM not recognised

I've seen several posts where people have had problems with new ram not being recognised, but my problem is this: Following advice from http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/MacProMemoryDIMMDIY.pdf and http://homepage.mac.com/tribe3/.Pictures/MemConfig.jpg, I added 2x1GB Crucial ram to my MacPro today. I put the new sticks on the top riser where the factory-fitted 2x512MB sticks were, and put the 512's in corresponding slots on bottom riser. Now System Profiler shows this:
DIMM Riser A/DIMM 1:
Size: 1 GB
Type: DDR2 FB-DIMM
Speed: 667 MHz
Status: OK
DIMM Riser A/DIMM 2:
Size: 1 GB
Type: DDR2 FB-DIMM
Speed: 667 MHz
Status: OK
DIMM Riser A/DIMM 3 & DIMM4:
Size: Empty
Type: Empty
Speed: Empty
Status: Empty
DIMM Riser B/DIMM 1, DIMM 2, DIMM3 & DIMM4:
Size: Empty
Type: Empty
Speed: Empty
Status: Empty
Not sure how to proceed with this, and I don't enjoy the "thrill" of opening up the Mac so I'd welcome suggestions at this point. In particular, is it a good idea to zap the PRAM at this point? Is there any way of checking if Riser B is defective?
Thanks in anticipation
Jim

OK- I think I'll just go with it as it is for now. I'll have a chance at the weekend to hammer it with Photoshop and see how it copes. I ran Lightroom this afternoon, and it really was much faster than previous to the upgrade. I'll time its performance in PS with a Photomerge of 24-shots @ 10.1 megapixels each. If it copes with that, and I get the sort of performance boost I'd expect, I'll leave Memtest for now.
BTW - your statements "Memtest is a better choice" and " AHT is good for finding hardware compatibility issues and sometimes finds things (in 30 minutes) that no amount of Memtest would" seem to contradict. Or am I misunderstanding?
Thanks again for your help

Query giving performance issues.

Hi All,
Following query is giving performance issues. Query execution is taking around 11 minutes. Our client requirement is to get the data for the query in 30 sec to 1 min. Please suggest.

Performance Booster

Hi ,
We found a huge boost in the performance when we changed the reload period
for the web applications to "-1" ( which means never check for changes). The performane
actually improved 3 times.
My question is regarding the implications of this change. Will it cause any problems
which are not visible as of now? With this parameter setting , I will have to
probably restart the server everytime I modify the application...right? In the
case of our system, this web application is rarely going to change.
Are there any other issues that could occur?
Thanks in Advance
Amit

Reply to ensure that no one using WLS 6.0 sp1 or sp2, implements whats written
previously. DO NOT SET the reload parameter for web-applications to -1 in WLS
6.0 sp1 and sp2 . You will get an error. ITs a known problem.
The performance boost reported earlier was due to wrong observation.

flag.
If you are packaging your webapp's in .war format, you will have to restart
the server
anyway, as we do not support hot deploy of webapps in 51. ( i presume
you are on 51)
Are there any other issues that could occur?
I don't think you will encouter any issues by setting this property to
-1.
You will not be able to reload modified jsp's on the fly. that's it.

Performance boost?

What kind of performance boost can I expect by switching to a Macbook Black Core 2 Duo 2.4 Ghz 4GB Ram from a Macbook white CoreDuo 2.0Ghz 2GB Ram? I am into photoshop and use iMovie HD a lot. I notice that in iMovie things begin to get laggy when importing, or editing. Will the Upgrade in Sped and RAM eliminate this? Would the experience be comparable to the 2.4 Ghz iMac? I really don't have the money for the Macbook Pro, so will the upgrade help my situation at all? I am looking for advice from anyone who had the CoreDuo then Upgraded to A santa rosa or the newest processor.

iMovie and Photoshop like lots of RAM. Is your current MacBook upgraded to its max (it depends on which iteration of MacBook you own, so I don't know from the information you provided.) If you can upgrade beyond 2GB that would provide a speed boost.
The difference between the older Santa Rosa and the very newest MacBooks and their older siblings isn't insignificant so if you have an original MacBook you'll find that the newest ones are faster. But fast enough to suit your needs? Dunno. If you can get to a local Mac shop check them out for yourself.
You might find that your better solution is an iMac. Again, a trip to a Mac reseller is probably your best bet.

Performance boost with 10.5.3 and LP 7/multicore ?

There is a HUGE performance boost reported from LP8 users when updating to 10.5.3. They can run up to 40 percent more plugins on 4 and 8 core machines.
I wonder if it is due to the 10.5.3 update or the combination 8.0.2 and 10.5.3.
It would be nice to hear some reports from 7.2 users with 4/8 core Mac:s.
Logic has been optimized for only two cores too long, only been using 50 percent of each core on 4/8 core machines. Maybe 10.5.3 is a booster even for LP7 users?

Here's one person's experience with LP7 and 10.5.3:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7305592#7305592
Disuye,
I've got a Mac Pro with LP 7.2.3 and OSX 10.5.2, and it runs pretty smoothly. I get the occasional core audio overload, but not enough to cause a concern.

Are there any tips for freeing Working RAM (not Storage RAM)

I have an iPad 2 running iOS 6.1.3 and was wondering if there are any tips or tricks to use to free up working RAM, not storage RAM. By this I mean, I want to free up memory so that an app I have will run as it currently seems to be crashing due to low memory.
I have read that the following will help to free RAM for apps to run better. Can someone in the know let me know if this is really true or not?
1. Turn off Notifications
2. Turn off Location Services
3. Turn off Indexing in Spotlight
4. Turn off Multitask Gestures
5. Turn off Keyboard Auto Correct and Check Spelling
6. Turn off iCloud Syncing
And since I am asking, does anyone know if there are apps that somehow attach themselves to the iOS and use small amounts of RAM in the background even if the app is not actually running? Could I compare what I am asking to something like how Services work on a Windows PC?
Thanks to any and all who can enlighten me.
Dan

Are you having an issue with one specific app? It may help to shut down all background apps, then perform a device reset and try to run the app immediately after the reset. It certainly won't hurt to try.
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

Alchemy performance boost

Little CMS is a great open source colour management system by a fellow named Marti Maria. The key benefit of his software is being able to easily exploit ICC color profiles in image processing projects. With two minor edits to the makefile and some glue, the Little CMS code compiles and runs on Flash Player 10 quite nicely. If any application is good at evaluating performance of Alchemy that would be raw image processing. The difference in processing time between Alchemy and natively compiled C I found to be generally about 8-10x. Converting a 1,500 x 1,500 pixel CMYK image to sRGB takes just under 9 seconds in Flash and .9 seconds when running natively on my testbed. This is impressive. Experiments to do the same conversion with hand-optimized ActionScript cause Flash Player to abort the script for running too long. Only much smaller test images succeed with the pure ActionScript version, and the per-pixel processing time is over 80x slower when compared to Little CMS compiled with Alchemy. It's possible that a Pixel Bender version could improve on this time, but the whole idea of Alchemy is to re-use existing C/C++ codebases ....... right? The bottom line is Alchemy provides very substantial gains in performance over pure ActionScript, and the ability to re-use C/C++ opens up a whole new realm of Flash applications that were not possible before. It's disappointing for developers that Alchemy hasn't progressed beyond research status, when it has so much potential for creating killer applications that can exploit about a bazillion lines of open source.

I wrote this article up last week to provide just the
information you're looking for:
Understanding
Adobe Alchemy
Alchemy first compiles the C/C++ through LLVM into a
combination of ActionScript and inlined bytecode (for some special
FP10 bytecodes). Then it compiles that AS3 into a SWF and packages
it into a SWC.
Any performance boost comes from a combination of using the
new bytecodes and the fact that certain tasks are just faster with
how Alchemy does them (functions calls for example don't require
boxing/unboxing).

Does adding RAM really help performance?

My iMac 1.8 GHz G5 is about two years old and starting to run slowly. Could it be the 10,000 photos and 6,000 songs? I've started using my MacBook for most work and my iMac for most play (i.e. media).
Does adding RAM really help performance? I've only got one 512 MB chip.
Thanks for any help.

Hello,
Yes, adding more memory can make a huge performance improvement.
I've owned two iMac G5 systems. And, in both cases, I noticed a huge performance improvement jumping to 1 GB of RAM. And, while not huge, I noticed even better performance going from 1 GB to 2 GB of RAM.
512 MB is minimal, and adequate. But, more memory makes OS X run considerably better.
I hope this helps.

GoodMorning Gurus!!!
I created a crystal report in XI R2 based on a Multiprovider. Though the Multiprovider is active and the DSO has the Data correctly activated, the crystal report is not giving the output.
Could someone please tell the reasons...also i have checked the server connections as well..they are right.
Please give me the options to chk some more criterias.

Have a company based itunes account, trying to share itunes on bank owned devices. can't get all devices to keep our shared password on them without requesting user to enter password (which i am not giving them)

i am an IT manager for a bank. we have several company owned iphones. WE have also implemented a mobile device management system to manage our iphones.
We setup acompany based itunes account, trying to share itunes on bank owned devices. This way i can add bank approved apps to the devices through our itunes account and push out to the iphones, and no one can download any other non bank approved apps.
it has been working ok. but recently i had one user who came in. He went to enter in his itunes account on the phone and didn't work. So then came back and my staff and myself have (as much as we can see) removed his email account itunes login from all sections in settings. and entered in our itunes account information, but when you go to the app store, and hit upgrade, it still shows his email account for itunes. I feel like i can't get all devices to keep our shared password on them without requesting user to enter password (which i am not giving them)
How can i troubleshoot his device. i tried changing password 5 times today, rebooted device, and no change.
Jenn McGlynn

i have an MDM application, and i push out the apps i want them to have with our IT apple id account. for some reason when two approved apps needed updating last week, they prompted him for our password. (which i told him to bring phone in and i would enter password).
but somehow he went to try to enter his personal to make it work (don't know why)
somewhere it's keeping his personal email. i went into itunes/apps and our apple id is in there.
there is nothing in icloud b/c we do not allow icloud, so that's clear.

I'm setting up Apple ids, and its not giving me the option to set up a rescue email. How can I add one?
