RAM required for Lion

I have a macBook Air 11" built in 2010. It has 2 mb RAM. Is there any problems running Lion with this configuration. If yes, can you upgrade to more RAM.

Ram is soldered to logic board so it cannot be upgraded.
This page lists the system requirements for lion.  It says MBA 2008 or later so, yes, you can run lion on it.

  • I have an iMac and a MacBook with Intel Core 2 Duo processors. I realize that this is within the stated requirements for Lion.  However was wondering if by migrating to Lion this will result in too much demand on processor resources, thus a slower machine

    I have an iMac and a MacBook with Intel Core 2 Duo processors. I realize that this is within the stated requirements for Lion.  However was wondering if by migrating to Lion this will result in too much demand on processor resources, thus a slower machine than using Snow Leopard?

    Which iMac?  Which Macbook?   Both have had several model
    itertations, even within the framework of a Core2Duo processor.
    With that said, I have an early 2009 iMac 24", with 2.66 GHz
    Core2Duo with 8 gig of RAM, and in my opinion, seems to be running
    smoother and faster with Lion.

  • What are the system requirements for Lion?

    Have the system requirements for Lion been posted anywhere?

    This is from the Apple Lion site:
    Step 1:Make sure your Mac can run Lion.
    Your Mac must have an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor to run Lion. Find out if your current Mac has one of these processors by clicking the Apple icon at the top left of your screen, then choosing About This Mac.
    Step 2:Make sure you have the latest version of Snow Leopard.
    Get up to date with the latest version of OS X Snow Leopard to purchase OS X Lion from the Mac App Store. If you have Snow Leopard, click the Apple icon and choose Software Update to install the latest version.

  • Is There a minimum cpu speed an Ram requirement for Nano

    I use xp pro and want to know if Nano has a cpu/ram requirement.
    thanks, Ken

    I don't think that the nano itself, or any other iPod for that matter, has a requirement from the computer that has iTunes other than the type of cable used to connect the iPod to your computer (USB, Firewire), and perhaps what version of the OS you have.
    The only requirements CPU/RAM requirements you should adhere to are the ones that are required of iTunes. The requirements for Windows are as follows:
    Windows XP or 2000 (latest service packs recommended)
    500 MHz Pentium class processor or better
    QuickTime 7.0.4 (included)
    256MB RAM
    Supported CD-R or DVD-R drive to burn CDs
    Broadband Internet connection (DSL/Cable/LAN) for buying and streaming music
    Additional Video Requirements
    1.5 GHz Pentium class processor or better
    32MB video RAM
    The Requirements for the iPod Nano are as follows:
    PC with USB port or card (USB 2.0 recommended)
    Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4 or later, or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later
    Also - it might be more helpful, for yourself and for other users, if you were to post this inquiry in the Windows section of iTunes.

  • Does my iMac meet requirements for Lion

    I bought my iMac 2 years ago and I am on OS 10.6.8, but when I read the min requirements in another thread it appears that I do not have enough memory capacity, or if I'm reading that is the memory that is available. Am I looking in the correct place?  I have time machine backing up my iMac to an external hard drive and I'm wondering what are the best options in your opinion.  Or do I have options, I don't even know if I can purchase more memory for my iMac.  I don't know much about hardware, but I can follow directions and am comfortable in any software.
    Should I...
    1.  Buy if possible more memory for my iMac
    2.  Buy another external hard drive to store my photos, using the existing hard drive just for Time Machine
    3.  Use existing external hard drive for both Time Machine and photo storage (seems like that doesn't make sense though if the drive goes bad).
    4.  Something I'm not thinking of.
    By the way I used to be a Mobile Me user and really miss the calendar sharing/syncing features from my iMac to my iphone, and also to my families iphones.  iCloud syncing is my main motivation for wanting to upgrade.
    Here's some info about my i Mac.
      Model Name:          iMac
      Model Identifier:          iMac11,2
      Processor Name:          Intel Core i3
      Processor Speed:          3.2 GHz
      Number Of Processors:          1
      Total Number Of Cores:          2
      L2 Cache (per core):          256 KB
      L3 Cache:          4 MB
      Memory:          4 GB
      Processor Interconnect Speed:          5.86 GT/s
      Boot ROM Version:          IM112.0057.B00
      SMC Version (system):          1.64f5

    Lion needs 7 GB of free storage in the hard drive, but you have 4 GB of RAM installed (Lion needs 2 GB of RAM memory). Hard drive and RAM memory are different hardware of the Mac

  • Minimum Router's RAM requirement for Cisco CME

    Hi,
    Does anyone ever try to use below 1 GB RAM when installing CME for router 29XX? I know that Cisco recommend to use 1 GB RAM. I just want to know, what problem we will may face, if we implement CME with 2921 router for 50 users with default RAM (512 MB).

    Hello,
    As you mentioned; for 2911 routers the recommended is to use 1 GB of RAM as per the link below:
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucme/requirements/guide/cme105spc.html
    As you also going to deploy it with its maximum ip phones that can support, I'd highly recommend you to use 1 GB. If you use 512 RAM,  you may fall into performance issues and your setup will not be supported by Cisco TAC.
    Thank you,
    Shadi

  • RAM requirement for solaris 10

    I just had an Ultra 5 given to me, and I wanted to install Solaris 10 on it. But now it seems 128 MB of ram isn't enough for the install?? With the cost of sun ram, its hardly even worth trying to upgrade it. Does anyone know if there is a way to get it installed? Is there any kind of off the shelf ram compatible with it?

    I have it on a few servers with less than 200 MB RAM,
    and it works really well.
    One thing to keep in mind though is that its a quite
    bad idea to try and run Java Desktop or Gnome when
    you only have 128 MB of RAM, you should try and
    download a small/flexible window manager such as
    fvwm2 instead. Thats what i do on my laptop (which
    has 192 MB RAM).
    .7/M.What about CDE with 256 MB RAM?
    OpenSUSE 10.2 runs GNOME responsively with 256 MB RAM?
    I have another issue with the install - it doesn't even start up on my 256 MB system.
    I'll try the nowin option and see what it does.
    I let it run all night and it didn't start up.
    Bad karma when you're replacing a working Linux installation.

  • RAM requirement for iFS

    If I do not want to use all protocol servers,
    how much RAM would require to run Oracle database and iFS on same machine.
    Documentation states 512MB RAM is required,
    if you want to use all protocol servers.

    Satheesh,
    Assuming you are running iFS + web server and db on the same machine, 256 MB RAM is sufficient. I had set this up on a 256 MB machine and it is okay...
    cheers

  • Set me straight on RAM requirements for 8 core

    I have been hearing you need 1gb ram for each core. Or at least that's what people are recommending. Isn't 8gb a little overkill?
    I'm going to do HD editing. I would think 4gb ram would be pretty good. Of course, I realize more is always better, but is 8gb really necessary?
    Feel free to chime in, but I suppose we will find out when the 8 core's are shipping and what Leapard/FCP will bring us in the next few months.

    "Phil, do me a favor... PLEASE... check your page ins/outs and try running your machine a little harder and you tell me if you see a difference when you do get your RAM... "
    Of course I'll see a difference. I EXPECT to see a difference, that's the point. But where you and I differ, is that you're expecting the upgrades to make your machine more stable. Mine is already stable - the only thing I'm expecting is increased performance. I'm sure page outs won't be completely eliminated, but they'll be much, much more reasonable that what they are now. I also use a G5 Quad with 8 gigs of RAM and rarely are the page outs "zero". However, even with them about 5-20%, the Quad doesn't skip a beat.
    "Mr. Shockley only has 2 GB of memory, but I bet he can go to dinner and come back by the time his workflow has completed."
    Well, not quite that long but sure - the limited RAM I now have is causing tasks to take longer than needed. (I've developed a serious hatred for the sounds of disk access!) But while they take longer, the tasks DO get completed. Keep in mind I use several apps in Rosetta, including Photoshop CS3.
    "Uh oh, I ordered my Ram before I knew it used different chips."
    It wouldn't hurt to call but I don't think I'd worry about it. The 8-core blurb probably just means the new part numbers reflect what Apple has tested. None of the third party RAM vendors/companies are showing a "specific" module for the 8-core. (Even before the 8-core machines, Apple would never publicly say third party RAM was "compatible".)
    Apple also says the same thing in the blurb about hard drives. I can't imagine one SATA hard drive is compatible while another is not.
    Their term, "qualified" means they've tested the part.

  • Hard disk / RAM requirement for Oracle RAC

    I'm using the following configuration for RAC
    Oracle 10gR2
    VMware Server
    Host Server - Linux CentOS
    Two Guest Servers - Linux CentOS
    Now I'm trying with Pentium 4 and 1 GB RAM. But it is very slow and even hard to finish full RAC step.
    What is the best hard disk / RAM configuration to support above specs?
    Kindly advise me.
    Thanks
    Karti

    i am using 3 gb RAM, 160 GB hard disk, intel Due core processor. Its working fine for 10gR2 same as you mentioned os & oracle version.
    i dont know the minimum RAM Size, but i have seen tarry singh's RAC installation DEMO in dbasupport site with 2 GB RAM size.
    so you need atleast 2 GB RAM. Minimum 1 GB for each guest OS.
    i am new to RAC. wait for expert's reply.

  • Is 4gb RAM enough for os x mavericks?

    I am on a limited budget and thinking of getting a macbook air 13 inch base model and wanted to know if 4gb ram is ok or does it run like crap.

    Are the RAM requirements for Mavericks significantly greater than that  for Mountain Lion?  If not, than I can probably upgrade to Mavericks (strange name this. Sounds like some sort of nightcap) with the RAM I have.
    My mid-2007 iMac can't be upgraded above its current 4GB - as far as I know.  It is working fine with ML as long as I don't have too many apps open.  I can still have three or four open at the moment depending on what they do and, interestingly, the pedigree of the company that originated the software.  By that I mean if the originator a Mac only developer (possibly with PC as a secondary line) I experience no problems.
    If the originator of the software is basically a PC developer with Macs catered for mainly as an afterthought I find apps from these developers tend to take up most, if not all, the available RAM I have even when nothing else is booted.  Stereomerger.app is a good example of this.

  • How do I get the download for Lion OS on my iMac if I don't have the App Store app?

    I stopped by the Apple Store and they told me that they can't sell me Lion OS in the store.  Since I have an older iMac with out the App store App, they said that I need to contact Apple Support.  But do I have to do that via phone or can I somehow email them?

    What you need is to get (buy and install) Mac OS Snow Leopard first; that includes the app store. After you install and update it, then you can launch the app store and buy/download/install Lion. Now, how old is your machine? Here are the requirements for Lion:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4949
    You will also need a minimum 2 GB RAM, but you really should have a minimum of 4 GB to get good performance.

  • Minimum iMac requirements for 1080 HD video

    Hello,
    I am having issues playing back the video from my iPhone 4S. Does anyone know the minimum requirements needed on an iMac?
    I am running Lion on a 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with Memory of 2 GB 667 MHz RAM iMac.
    Graphics is NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 128 MB
    Thanks in advance.
    Tom

    You need 4GB of RAM preferred for Lion and your video card is pretty weak.
    You should have stayed on 10.6 with your hardware.

  • CS6 Design & Web Premium RAM requirement?

    Hi all,
    CS6 Design & Web Premium RAM requirement for Windows 7 64bit is listed as 2GB but 8GB is recommended. We're getting a new PC with 4GB of RAM and 500GB hard disk space. I'm just looking for a staff member's advice, do you think the Adobe software would run too slow on this machine with 4GB of RAM?
    Many thanks for the help.

    Hi AdobeUser1985,
    Its hard to say what too slow is for you - more RAM really makes a difference when working with large files. If you have the option to add more RAM in the future I'd recommend it. The speed of the RAM is pretty significant as well. I'd push for best you can get currently and try to get hardware that allows upgrading in the future.
    Hope that helps,
    - Dave

  • Environemnt required for Installing essbase??

    Hi
    I am Planning to Install essbase in my Organization on Linux servers and Can some one help me out with prerequisites required??
    Installing essbase 9.3.1
    How many servers do i need??
    Do i need one seperatley for shared services and one seperately for essbase server??
    What is the ram required for these servers and we have to build application that will have a size of 40gb in future
    Do i need to have 16 processors for each of the server??
    Since the previous organisation i worked for had made their application run on 4 thred and each thread has 4 cpu'c??
    I Had an idea to get Servers each with 32gb of ram with 16 cpus each
    Can any one suggest me are these requirements sufficient or What are the Components i need to install on each servers
    Is this the correct way of setting hardware??
    Thanks
    Kumar

    Hi Atul,
    Can you send me any document which gives the general information about the Configuration details for installing Essbase software.....
    In your earlier reply, you have mentioned have that increment in CPU and RAM size does not result in increasing perforrmance. In application optimization way, I agree this is not helpful. But if hardware configuration is good, system performance will be better right...Please clarify me I am wrong.

    Upendra...
