[resolved] RAM detected issue in EEEPC 1215b

Hi, guys
I recently bought a new asus epc 1215b netbook, i'm satisfied with its low price and new APU architecture, equiped with a E450 processor + HD 6320 graphic card + 2G DDR3 RAM.
But when i run 'free -M', arch tell me the total memory is 1610Mib, this really suprise and confuse me. I suspect whether this is a memory hardware issue or motherboard issue. After change to another 2G ram, this result is the same. So, the original ram has no isssue.
Hope someone here can kindly tell me if this is a feather in AMD apu architecture, I mean some memory is reserved for gma card(oh ,godness, I think myshef funny when say this and never come to this situation befor especially I always use Intel onboard graphic card, the memory is shared and should be displayed fully in free -m command's outputs ) or really some issue in motherboard(or memory cotroler within CPU?)?
The best is if someone also use the box of the same model could tell me the result in your endpoint.
Highly apreciate for your help.
Tks / Rgds,
Chidori

Thanks ,all
When bios slash, it displays 2048M memory installed, and then, grub will report about 1680 memory available.
I hear some others who owned this laptop as well also report the same situation, so I guess this probabaly caused by some memory is reserved and dedicate to GPU. But extremly hope someone could share your free -m to me in order to clarify this issue.
Thanks.

Ram detection issue

Hi all,
I hope it's not a critical issue, but I've just decided to change my RAM in my iMac intel Core Duo 2Ghz from January 2006 from 2x512M 667 PC5300 by 2x1G 800 PC6400.
The system is working fine but the system detects the RAM as 2x1G not at 667Mhz but at 533 !!
Do you have any idea about this or is it normal?
Thank you in advance for your answers.

Hi Toofy
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
I'm not sure why the bus would slow down to 533MHz, but I am sure that is not the correct ram for your iMac! At any moment you could have everything from Kernel panics to your iMac won't boot.

You need to exchange the PC2-6400, or order PC2-5300 to get the proper performance out of your iMac.

Photoshop CS4 64bit RAM detection issue

Hi all,
I have Dell Precision M6400 with 12Gb of RAM and Photoshop CS4 (as a part of master collection).
Here is my problem:
Figure 1 (system spec showing my 12Gb of ram)
Figure 2 (showing ps cs4 64bit system info read)
Figure 3 (where did all my RAM GO?! only 2963?!)

I called dell support and they resloved the issue
Problem was that i had maximum memory set in boot options (msconfig / boot / advanced options) to 4000mb. Still not sure how that was set or if that was part of bios update (reset).
Thanks!

MSI K8N NEO4 SLI - RAM Detection

Hello,
I'm wondering if my motherboard is faulty or is it my video/cpu/ram that's causing my problem.
Well here's the problem. when I was doing a virus scan using norton antivirus and surfing the web my pc just shut down and restarted. But when it restarted it won't post and gives me the RAM Detection Error on the D-Bracket and the 1 beep and 1 silence and 1 beep.
I would have to clear the cmos every time it does that. I ran memtest with no errors on the ram. I've tried only using 1 stick of ram and my older ram DDR333 stick, also tried different slots, everytime clearing the cmos. With the same result. One try I had to put the DDR333 RAM in slot 2 for it to post.
When I put the DDR333 ram in it posts for abit. But when I add my DDR400 1Gb dual memory the bios still shows the DDR333 settings. After setting the ram to 2-3-3-6 and restarts it gives me the RAM detection error.
Is this due to a bad motherboard or is it my CPU or could my Video card be causing this or RAM
I don't have another CPU or Video card to see if it is those two that's causing this..
I'd RMA'd the motherboard to get it fixed, and I'm thinking of getting the Diamond Plus but before I do I'm wondering if the problem isn't due to my CPU or Video card. Would hate to buy the D. Plus and have the same problem...
Oh, My BIOS is the 9.10 that msi sent me but shows as 9.0b1 on boot up. Guessing it's a beta bios. Yes I tried the Platinum 3.8 with the same problem.
Sorry if this seems to be confusing....

Im going through the same problem, memory detection on dbracket, i´ve tried using diferent memory and stuff, i have a 3500+ here but im not sure it that would work, im gonna try it later.
anyway i wanted to know if u guys solved your problems and how u did it, cheers
you should start your own thread on this issue. also give us the amps on the 12V line for that PSU. a detailed description of your problem and your troubleshooting up to date would also be nice.

RAM Preview issue

Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone has seen this or can provide some direction for further investigation. This is on a new Mac Pro on which I have just installed FCS
In some projects the RAM preview has no effect on playback performance. After generating a RAM preview, the project will play at the same speed (say 2 fps) and as soon as I pause playing, the green progress bar that indicates project is loaded in RAM disappears or becomes fragmented - without modifying the project in any way. When this happens it also becomes nearly impossible to do additional editing as every simple task (as simple as resetting the play range) can result in the spinning beachball. There was a recent thread on RAM preview issues (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12215113&#12215113) but it appears the problem there was due to a long HDV project. The projects I experience this on generally have a lot of particles or replicated elements, but are standard 720 x 486 resolution projects lasting less than 10 sec. System memory usage is relatively small, less than 4 GB.
These issues arise on a recently purchased MacPro (3.33 GHz 6-Core, 16 GB RAM, ATI 5870). The boot disc is an OWC SSD, and user folders, scratch, etc are on separate hard drives. I installed the operating system on the SSD using the installation disc, and have manually installed all my programs from their original discs. (I initially used migration assistant to bring over applications, but that failed with some applications, so I wiped clean and started over). There have also been some past threads on how different hardware configurations can affect performance, but I don't seem to be doing anything abnormal here.
What I have done:
Tested ram using memtestosx
Verified memory usage through activity monitor. The projects I have tested on use up less than 4 GB of system memory
Before each test or comparison I reset preferences.
I do not have this flakey behavior with an older MBP (17" 2.93 GHz Core 2 MBP with NVIDIA 9600) running the same OS (10.6.4) and motion version (4.0.3). Running the same project on the MBP will take longer for the RAM preview to complete, but when it does, the project plays at full frame rate.
The upgrade to a MacPro was mainly for other CPU and RAM intensive applications unrelated to video or graphics, but I expected motion to show a nice performance boost over the MBP on this new machine. Anyhow, any insight or direction for further investigation that I should pursue will be appreciated.
Thanks.

I tried your project (nice, BTW), and yes, 20,000+ particles take some time to render. However, when I did a RAM Preview, I had no problems - after render it played at full speed.
UNTIL...
I selected the emitter. Then playback went to the pre-RAM-Preview speeds. As soon as I turned off overlays or made sure the emitter was not selected, the playback instantly sped back up to full speed. I believe this is because Motion needs to image the constantly changing outline of the emitter. This means it needs to be re-drawn every frame after Motion determines the extent/size of the 20,000 particles on their random journey.
I think this is backed up by the fact that near the end of your project, there are only a few particles to keep track of and the playback appropriately speeds up. Also, CPU usage vastly increases when I turn on the overlays.
Moral of the story? To ensure the quickest possible playback, turn off overlays (⌘/) or ensure that something like a particle emitter is not selected during playback.

Hi, We are running domino application in windows server 2008r2 machine, we are facing High RAM utilization issue, but there is no such process are running.

Hi, We are running domino application in windows server 2008r2 standard virtual machine, we are facing High RAM utilization issue, but there is no such process are running. Machine is running in ESXI host, most of the time it shows high RAM utilization.
We upgraded the ram from 6 to 8 GB, but still facing the issue,
Where as other VMs working fine.
Need a help to find out the issue.

Hi Sathish sampath,
You can use Resource monitor and Task Manager->Performance to monitor the RAM memory utilization, I also recommend you to download the
RAMMap to get more detailed memory information.
For more detailed information to troubleshoot this issue, please also refer to this thread:

You can also choose to post your monitor picture to help us to troubleshoot.
I holp this helps.

CS3 automated gallery - Flash Player 10 detection issue

I have been searching for answers to this and found nothing. Anyone know how to solve the FP 10 detection issue with the PS CS3 automated flash galleries. Right now it will not detect FP 10 and thinks there is no player. I know there are changes to detection methods but, I'm not much of a programmer and I've tried to implement SWFObject but, no luck. Any enlightenment would be appreciated. Save me re-creating please! I'd rather not have to upgrade my software.

Hi,
I am having the same problem... did you have any luck fixing this issue?
Any help would be awesome.
Thanks.

RAM previewing issue

Hi,
I'm working in After Effects CS4, and I'm having a problem when I try to RAM preview short sections of an animation project. The RAM preview keeps stopping before it reaches the end of the work area, and beginning again. I'm pretty new to the program, but I've also noticed the little green bars that, I believe, tell you if the section has rendered/processed always have little gaps in them. That may be related. I don't know.
Does anyone know what may be causing this RAM previewing issue?
On a side note, I'm using After Effects on a Macbook (not a Macbook Pro), and I'm wondering whether this problem may be due to the Macbook not being sufficient for After Effects and CS4 in general. (I had originally intended to install the program on my 2004-era G5 tower, but it wouldn't install After Effects CS4 because apparently the program won't work with PowerPC processors, only Intel ones. At least that's what I was told.) Anyway, I've wondered whether the RAM previewing issue may be due to the Macbook not being enough computer for After Effects/CS4. My Macbook has a 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 and 106 GB of available space.
Any insights on the RAM previewing issue and whether my Macbook isn't a suitable computer for these programs would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot,
Neil

From the theoretical specs there is nothing that speaks against your notebook. Apparently the biggest hurdle for some users is to get it to run in the first place, but now that it runs, it's safe to say that you will be able to use it properly. Of course, to let truth have its way, you will become slightly peeved at a point and get that yearning for a new machine, when you use more functions and your projects become more complex. Especially the only 2GB RAM will then often become a show stopper and you will really hate Adobe when one of those dreaded "Could not creat X x Y buffer" or similar out of memory warnings pop up. Still, no need to rush. Take your time and see, if AE is even everything you thought it would be and then make clear, structured plans for getting a new computer. You wouldn't wanna spend another 2000 bucks on a spiffy machine just to run AE once a month.

Ram utilisation issue

Please people's fix the ram utilisation issue what is the purpose of 2/gb ram on lenovo a7000 when the phone itself costume 1000 mb ram everytime.
Phone is slow and lag all the time.

SQL Server does not release RAM unless the OS issues a memory trim
because it is running low.
Just to clear a bit Windows OS never issues memory trim it just sets Low Memory Notification flag ON when there is Low notification. SQLOS has component QueryMemoryResourceNotification which monitors this flag. If it sees flag ON SQLOS will respond
by sweeping its caches internally to reduce the process working set, and release memory back to Windows.
Again if OS feels a great memory pressure then memory allocated Via VirtualAlloc() function will be paged but if SQL Server service account has LPIM this cannot be paged out.

Resolve Netflix traffic issues

Seems Level 3 is claiming Verizon is purposely letting the network get saturated.
See http://blog.level3.com/global-connectivity/verizons-accidental-mea-culpa
From above link: "I can confirm that Level 3 is not the party refusing to add that capacity. In fact, Level 3 has asked Verizon for a long time to add interconnection capacity and to deliver the traffic its customers are requesting from our customers, but Verizon refuses."
If the above is a misrepresentation then Verizon should sue Level 3 and Netflix and get the above information removed along with resolving the performance issues.
Seeing these types of posts makes customers like me quite angry that we are not getting the service we are paying for!

And more bad Verizon reviews. People like myself are already start to leaving FIOS. How can FIOS let this continue?
See the link below that shows that going through a VPN and adding more server hops actually makes the Netflix connection much faster http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cacheSbaw5MzAY8J:iamnotaprogrammer.com/Verizon-Fios-N...
I had to use the google cache link since either the blog server or down or Verizon appears to be blocking the website.

Has the 'No WiFi detection' issue ever been resolved?

I have just bought my first iphone (3G) from a friend having been a Blackberry man for some years. Having restored the phone to factory settings it quickly became apparent that the WiFi detection was not working. No problem I thought, there are a million different forums on line, all full of useful information and with Apple being such an enormous outfit they certainly won't leave any issues unresolved. I was correct on one assumption, there are plenty of forums, however the issue does not appear to have been solved? In a last desperate attempt at gaining some clarity I am trying this one........ please restore my faith.
1. I have reset network settings.
The WiFi is serving several other machines perfectly well and is in good health.
Thanks in advance

Never heard of it myself but I performed the same search you did. I don't htink it was ever resolved because it's not really a problem. It spans several apps and different OS and hardware configurations which, to me, suggests the erro that is coming up is meaningless, like so many crash indicators.
Best suggestion I found was from David S., empty the FCP caches.

After FX ram preview issue

I keep getting the error message, "After Effects Error: Ram Preview needs two or more frames to play back." I've used AFX for many years and have never encountered this error. What do I do?

I think the issue was resolved with the newest update, however a new wrinkle has developed. If I have the "render multiple frames simultaneously" selected, the preview hangs up. I have always had this selected and it's worked flawlessly until just recently. Can you offer some insight?
