Somewhat confused about what RAM to get for PB G4 (the DDR2 model)

Hello. This is a long post since I'll try and explain in great detail what the problem is. I've purchased a refurbished 15.2" Power Book G4 off ebay the other day, it is the last 15 inch powerbook G4 apple released in October '05 since it has DDR2 RAM.
I haven't got the laptop yet, but figured I'd think ahead and get some more RAM for it to max it out. However I'm in a confused state of mind now as to what RAM will actually work in the laptop. On the Apple specification page for the laptop (which also lists the 1.67ghz 17 inch and the 1.5ghz 12 inch), it states for the 15 inch that it works with:
"512MB (single SO-DIMM) of PC2-4200 DDR2 SDRAM running at 333MHz; two SO-DIMM slots; support for up to 2GB"
Is that correct though? PC2-4200 RAM is 533MHz, not 333MHz. Or at least all the PC2-4200 RAM I can find is running at 533MHz. The 333MHz DDR2 modules are called PC2-2700. The other odd thing is, I use lowendmac.com a lot for specifications since I find they tend to list more details than Apple generally do (or at least they tend to go into more detail). On the page for the same laptop they state:
"RAM: 512 MB, expandable to 2 GB using 533 MHz PC2-4200 DDR2 RAM"
So they are apparently in agreement with my train of thought here. Not that I'm disagreeing with the official Apple specifications of course, it's just really confusing. Now I know I need SO-DIMM RAM, so I went onto an online retailer I generally use for this sort of stuff and found some Kingston value ram real cheap:
1GB, SO-DIMM, PC2-4200 533MHz, Non-ECC CL4 Unbuffered 1.8v module. Model number KVR533D2S4/1G.
Is this going to work in the laptop? If I believe Lowendmac.com, it will. If I believe Apple specs, it probably won't, or at least it may cause undesirable operation. Just to see what Kingston had to say on this, I went onto Kingston's website (valueram.com), I used the configurator search function and put in powerbook g4 as model, and it showed me a list of powerbooks. I picked mine (15 inch using DDR2) and sure enough it came up with the right page, and listed two RAM modules Kingston sell. A 512mb (of which I'll ignore), and the 1GB (the one I want).
The 1GB module was model number KTA-PB533/1G. Now just looking at that suggests to me that it is 533MHz, since it has 533 in the model name (and a trend with Kingston model numbers is to put the speed in the model name). Just to be sure though I did look for some detailed specifications but oddly enough I couldn't find any for that RAM module on their website so I googled it instead, and came up with several websites suggesting that it was 533MHz.
So, what should I do here? It would seem Apple's specs saying 333MHz was wrong, however I've got two RAM modules by Kingston here and they both appear to have the same specifications except one is obviously specifically for the powerbook, the other is just for generic laptops. So unless the one specifically for the powerbook is a different shape or something I can't see any reason why I should should pay a lot more money for the specific model, when I can get the apparent same exact RAM module for a bargain.
This is, confusing.

Strong recommendation to not go 'cheap' on the memory. Powerbooks are particular about the quality of memory, due primarily to the way Apple manages power on the memory bus. While some memory can meet Apple's published specs, it can fail in use. if you scan these discussions, you'll find people who have tried the KVR (Kingston value ram) memory and it has not worked for them. If you want to try it, suggest you get it from someplace you can return it and get your money back.
As already mentioned, Crucial (also sold as Micron) and Samsung are two brands that work reliably. Regular Kingston memory works well too. Crucial guarantees their memory will work when chosen from their memory selector at http://www.crucial.com . You can usually find a discount coupon on the web too. Samsung you buy through distributors, and I'd also recommend OWC at http://www.macsales.com . Kingston you already know is at http://www.kingston.com . You can scan the discussions for other brands that have worked (like Hynix, mentioned in the prior post, for example).

What laptop to get for CS5 or CS6...

Increasingly there appear questions about which laptop to get for CS5/6.
First, the question is why a laptop and why not a desktop?
Laptops are always at least 2 to 3 times slower than a desktop, they are significantly more expensive than a desktop with the same or better performance and they need a wall outlet to use. Batteries don't last long enough for editing and you need a wall outlet for external components (disks, monitor, BD-R etc.) that are required. All that makes a laptop more like an expensive, underpowered luggable machine.
For video editing machines it is always best to use a machine for video editing only and use a second system for other applications and this is especially true for much weaker laptops than desktops.
So, let me repeat the question: What are the considerations to use a laptop over a desktop? You have to be very clear about it to sell the idea to the one responsible for the budget. You also have to be clear about the performance penalty, if you decide to go forward with a laptop.
OK, we got this out of the way. You have good arguments to get a laptop and you have succesfully sold the idea to the one responsible for the available budget.
So what are your choices and what do you need to look for in terms of specs?
First, let me remind you of the article Adobe Forums: What PC to build? An update... because it contains a number of relevant issues that influence your choice. Basically there are three approaches possible:
Get a laptop from a brand company like Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Toshiba and the like.
Get a customizable laptop from specialist companies like Sager or Clevo.
Get a custom builder like ADK Video Editing build you a system tuned to your needs.
All these solutions have a number of common components, under the assumption you want to edit HD material:
CPU: at least a quad core i7 processor, preferably with hyper-threading. The faster the better.
GPU: at least a nVidia GTX 660M or better with 1+ GB DDR5 memory.
Disks: at least 2 internal 7200 RPM disks.
Connections: minimum is eSATA plus USB3 ports.
Monitor: at least 1920 x 1080 resolution and 15.4" screen size or bigger.
Memory: bare minimum is 8 GB but workable is only 16 or 32 GB.
Looking at brand names one may come up with a short-list like:
Now, in their standard configurations they are all lacking on some aspects. Insufficient memory, only single disk, or lacking connections. If these can not be configured to meet the above practical minimum requirements, where at least 2 disks is the most crucial, there is only companies like Sager and Clevo to look at. Something like this is about bare minimum, because of the underspecced video card:
Despite the price this will still be around 3 times slower than an equally priced desktop. If that performance penalty is too big, then one can consider a system like this:
Again, despite the price, this system will still be more than 2 times slower than a far less expensive desktop, but hey, you knew that when you decided on a laptop and got approval for the budget, right?
The last option is to go to a custom builder to get a laptop that is exactly tuned to your needs and budget. It will not be less expensive than the Sager route, but it will get you the best balance between performance and price for your needs. Additionally, you get great service if ever needed.
To sum this up, a laptop is a compromise. A compromise in performance and price. It is not for the faint of heart, faint of wallet. It is not a laptop, it is a luggable system on a wall outlet. An alternative is coasters under a desktop system and you can use other wall outlets as well, but with a better price and far better performance.
I hope this will help people to decide if they really need a laptop and if affirmative, to get the right system for their needs.

As usual, Harm has provided very knowledgeable and helpful advice in this matter. I would like to add that if you are inclined, and feel it's worth a gamble.....New Egg has been selling refurbished Asus i7 laptops that have almost all the necessary components for a lower price than normal. You may have to add more memory yourself and add a quality SSD for OS and programs and pagefile, ( cloned from the supplied drive). Then, use the supplied drive for media and all else in the second bay....or, as an emergency backup of your original configuration. I am not sure,but I think if you put a second Marvell controlled SSD in the second bay instead,( Corsair Pro or Plextor Pro...no Sandforce), you may get the benefit of SATA III speeds from BOTH drives for best laptop performance.....I am not sure if earlier criticisms of SSD degradation still apply with these newer Marvell controlled SSDs.
      I DO know that my old Asus G73JW tested MUCH FASTER on Harm's PPBM5 benchmark when I added extra memory,( from 8 to 14GB ), AND used a Corsair Force 120GB SATA II SSD in each of the two internal drive bays. On that site you can see similar laptops to mine performing way slower using less memory and conventional spinning HDDs. At the time, I was careful to choose SSDs that had a high read AND write speed. I have had no issues with my SSDs. I also have used the Seagate Momentus XT hybrid HDD as project drive.....and scored lower on the PPBM test,( not submitted).
      Harm is right.....any laptop will not approach the performance of a good desktop setup....not to mention PPro CS 6 appears to be even more powerful and demanding than the 5.03 I'm using. People are reporting needing at least 32GB memory and more than 2GB video card memory to get better performance.
   Someone posted about Exotic PC selling upgraded laptops, ( some Asus) with up to 32GB memory and muliple HDD configurations....you may be able to upgrade a laptop similarly yourself for less money. Watch the sales at Tiger Direct and New Egg....you may find some thing workable.

WCS annual support: what do I get for extra AP license packs?

I am not trying to be snide here, but I am having a difficult time understanding what new value I get for an extra SAU annual support package that my Cisco Partner says I now need, since I added additional AP licenses to the WCS software. This add-on SAU will more than double my annual support costs for the WCS software. I've called and emailed my partner several times on this, and basically it came down to "that's how Cisco does it now." I've also done on-line chat and a couple hours of phone time with Cisco's pre-sales support, and technical support, but neither of them was able to give me any answer, and after passing me back and forth between their two divisions, they passed the buck back to my Cisco partner.
But, my question remains: What additional value do I get for this doubled price "Software Application support with Updates"? I can already download WCS software and WLC firmware. The only thing that has changed is my software's AP limit.
We've had WCS 5.0, with the original Base 50 AP license. The WCS server runs two WLC 4402 units, one set for 25 APs, and one for 50. We actually have 46 APs deployed. We've paid annual support since we first purchased this system, SAU software and upgrade support for the WCS software, and SmartNet hardware support for the WLCs. We have not had support for our actual AP hardware, as our partner recommended just buying spares instead, as a cheaper option. But, AP firmware updates come automagically with the WLC firmware updates.
We will soon be going beyond 50 APs, so we installed an 100 AP add-on license for the WCS. This changed the "About" box for the WCS software so it now says it is licensed for 150 permanent APs, instead of the original 50. (This add-on license cost more than $4,000, so I don't feel that I'm trying to get a bigger WCS system without paying for it.)
Recently I upgraded my WCS software to v5.2 and then to v6, and am currently at 6.0.196.0. I also upgraded my WLC firmware, which updated my APs. Everything seems to be working well, and these updates were all included in my basic SAU for WCS, which runs about $720 per year.
However, March is when our SmartNet renewals come due, and my partner says we now need to buy a second version of WCS SAU, supposedly a requirement with our additional 100 AP license. This add-on support ( part "CON-SAU-WLB100EX" ) goes for $1,080 per year, so my WCS annual support would now be $1,800 instead of $720.
As I said, I really don't understand what I'm getting for this additional money. We are a small enough college that I can't spend $1000 without justifying the expense. Already, with my existing WLC SmartNet payment I get firmware updates for my WLC and AP hardware, and with my existing WCS SAU payment I get software updates on the server. None of this seems to have changed with the additional AP license count.
(Note that although the WCS update package allows 100 more APs, my present WLC hardware really only allows an additional 25 APs.)
If nothing else, for $1,000 a year, Cisco should be able to give me a pithy explanation of what I am buying :-)
In summary:
What does CON-SAU-WLB100EX actually support? Why do I need it?
What happens if I keep paying my CON-SAU-WCS support and my WLC support, but do not add this new charge? Is my WCS software still upgradeable?
Thanks for any insights you can provide,
Steve Bohrer

I'm not selling support contracts, I just work in TAC. But here's my 2 cents :
If you have your license for your extra APs (which you said you already bought), your WCS will run just fine.
With regards to software download, either you have download access or you don't. The system can't prevent you to download WCS because it saw you had purchased more AP license than your support contract mentions. So download should still work in the future.
From a TAC perspective, if there is a support contract, we give support. We don't care at all how many APs people have.
So all considered, I have no idea what this extra support contract will bring you :-)
But since the Sales people in your region don't seem to gifted in explaining what they are selling, I would just go without that special contract unless they justify what it exactly adds and what you will lose if you don't take it. Probably if you don't say a word, they won't notice anything and will still support you nonetheless :-)

What do I get for BTV Essential

Hi, have not been here for a while.
Just got my latest bill and it has gone up by £3.00 a month, not much but I am retired and on a fixed income so any increase is a lot. I got all my phone (unlimited calls), broadband (Option 1), and Vision (Gold-Unlimited) contracts running together last March, so in a couple of months they will be up for renewal.
I watch about three or four films a month, and over the past six months or more BT seem to be recycling the films every couple of months. so losing that is not much of a problem.
Obviously I want to reduce my costs, I am thinking of reducing Vision from Unlimited to Essential, but the BT Package is not really clear on what I will get (for free). Or should I dump Vision completely. Can anybody help.

If you haven't taken Line rental saver yet, then this could save you money to counteract the other increase.

Confused about what I should do about my PC's declining performance.

I'm very confused on what I should about my PC's declining performance. My desktop computer is a HP Pavilion 20 All-in-one. The original OS was WIN 8, current OS WIN 8.1. I received my computer 11/8/13 and upgraded to WIN 8.1 just a few weeks later due to annoyance of it's pop-ups. The first installation of it failed but the very next day it installed on it's own and was successful. Not to long after that I began to have problems with performance. Lagging, freezes, blank or black screens, poor graphics and choppy audio and app crashes (which were solved under my HP warranty). A few months after the 8.1 upgrade I received a message in HP Support Assistant stating that my computer model was never tested with 8.1 and that could be the cause of my performance issues. The message also came with a compatibility scan which was of no use since 8.1 was already installed, and was recommended to either wait for drivers to become available or uninstall. I got tired of waiting so Dec. 2014 I did a refresh back to 8 and didn't reinstall the 8.1. I got back my computers excellent performance. Unfortunately that was short lived due to 8.1 automatically reinstalled it's self without an option to decline it, just a warning that in 2 days it'll restart my computer to finish the installation. That happened last week and now my computer is back to poor performance again. The audio is choppy (esp. when playing games), and after a few hours of use a humming sound starts, at first it's choppy (on & off), then it becomes constant. Also sluggish loading and lagging esp. of the mouse curser which happens on and off. I checked the task manager one day while that was happening and the Disk and CPU were turning red and going up to 100% and the Memory also spikes high but not up to 100 (in between spikes MEM stays around 30% maybe that's due to recent install of The Sims 4. Today I had a critical event happen with the Kernal Power and my computer restarted it's self. Those are the issues that I need help fixing but I also have questions that I hope can be answered here or get pointed in the right direction to an answer. 1) How or where can I get a straight forward answer to the compatibility of my computer with 8.1. When I had HP tech support I asked about the message I received from them and I was told to disregard the message because they are compatible. But after I refreshed back to WIN 8 the message came back and there was a note at the bottom of the page stating that the message could be old and possibly there are drivers available now. So I'm perplexed, if the two are compatible then why am I having the same problems that the message has listed as signs of incompatibility? 2) When I use HP Support Assistant to check for updates no downloads are available but when I use HP's website page software and driver downloads by product. It shows 10 downloads available for driver audio, driver chipset, driver grapics, driver network, BIOS, diagnostic, and software multi-media. Should I download all of them or do I need to check them out one by one to identify if they're old or new. 3) When my computer is idle why are background tasks performing scans that show on my action center icon but the stop as soon as the cursor is moved? and how can I identify which background processes & services can be ended or suspended to improve performance while playing high resource using games like The Sims 4? Here is some more info about my PC and thank you for taking out the time to help me.

Start with the Chipset, then Video, then the others, but not BIOS [yet].
Reboot after each install.
If performance doesn't seem better after updating your drivers to the Windows 8.1 versions then I suggest you also perform the BIOS update that is also available.

How do you know what HDD to get for MacBook?

Hi,
I've read loads of posts but am really a average Mac user and don't know much about memory/hard drives or any hardware to be honest.
I have a MacBook which I bought in January 2009. It's a 13 inch aluminium one so I think that makes it the late 2008 model as that's all I can find when I'm searching. I bought the 160GB model which I think was a 2 ram.
I now have about 95GB free but software takes ages to load sometimes the icon bounces for a while, software also freezes or lags too.
Does this mean if I get a bigger hard drive these problems will go? I've had it just nearly 3 years and really don't want to buy another one as they're expensive. I took it in to apple and they did a complete refresh or something so it was like new but still after I put all my work back on the memory went down again and problems came back.
I have no idea how to change the hard drive although I can see it when I open the battery cover.
Could anyone help me pick one I just want the most storage I found this link but am confused on which one to pick or if they're any good: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/productlist.php?groupid=1657&catid=1660&subid=1667
Do I then have to get RAM too? How do I know it will work and not ruin my laptop?
Don't I have to put the OS back on? I bought the upgrade through the app store as It came with leopard and I got the disk update for snow leopard so which disk do I use?
Also where does my work go, should I move it all onto a USB first then move it to the new one?
I'm sorry I just really can't deal with it slowing down as I have a lot of things open as I'm doing my dissertation, but also don't want to risk losing all my files at this stage as it's my last year at university and don't want to lose any work or files/ software like word etc.
I do use time machine has I bought an external to try get rid of the problem but when I connect the external one in using USB my mac starts to slow down and freeze up anyway.
Sorry if this is a lot and if it's already been asked but I'm just so confused, I asked the apple store if they can do it but they said they can't and to look online and google around.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If that's not a typo and you really do have 95GB free on your 160GB hard disk, it is unlikely that a larger hard drive will noticeably speed up your system. If it was a typo, and you have only 95MB free, then yes, you are extremely short of hard disk space, and a larger hard drive would absolutely help.
Here's a step by step video that shows the process: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcMtKfDIKHY
You need a small phillips screwdriver and a Torx T6 to accomplish the task. Since your old drive still works, you should probably purchase an external USB enclosure for it, and use it to transfer data from your old drive to your new drive before installation. Then you'll have the old drive as an additional external drive for backup or 'testing' OS upgrades. I use mine to download and install the latest OS X upgrades before installing them on my 'working' machine.
Apple MacBook internal hard drives are usually 5400 rpm. A 7200 rpm drive will give you a slight performance boost, without significantly reducing battery life or increasing noise or heat. Recent floods in Thailand have shut down major hard disk manufacturers and have significantly increased hard drive prices, so if you still have 95GB free, you should wait until prices stabilize in a few months. If you DO need to purchase a drive, a 500GB model is likely to meet your storage needs for a long time. Internal Macbook hard drives need to be 2.5" SATA, and a maximum of 9.5mm in height. From the vendor you linked to, these drives are listed:
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/productlist.php?groupid=1657&catid=1660&subid=1667
I haven't tried hybrid or SSD drives, so I won't comment on either of them.
A RAM memory upgrade would be my first recommendation.
Snow Leopard runs quite well on 4GB RAM. Your MacBook unibody (the aluminum one) can use 2GB, or 4GB, RAM modules, up to a total of 8GB. Details here: http://blog.macsales.com/9102-secret-firmware-lets-late-08-macbooks-use-8gb.
It is likely that you currently have two 1GB RAM modules inserted, so purchasing a set of two 2GB modules or two 4GB modules is the best solution. If you intend to upgrade to OS X Lion 10.7 eventually, I'd purchase the 2x4GB=8GB RAM upgrade now, rather than just 4GB. I've purchased several hard disk and RAM upgrades for family Macs from OtherWorldComputing, www.macsales.com. I'm not sure that www.macsales.com sells in the UK.
Macs are finicky about RAM, and you should be certain before purchase that your Apple reseller GUARANTEES it will work reliably or let you return it and get a refund. Even 'name brand' RAM that seemingly meets all the specs is not always reliable.
I'll also mention my experience with the performance of Snow Leopard. I'm still using Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.7 for performance reasons.
I have a mid-2007 MacBook with 4GB (3GB RAM is the maximum usable on my particular system) RAM and a 500GB 7200 RPM hard drive.
When I updated to 10.6.8 on my 'temporary' drive, I found that Safari browsing was significantly slower with LOTS of beachballs, and overall system performance seemed noticeably slower, so after a week (given time for indexes to update and so on) or so I reinstalled from the Snow Leopard CD (10.6.3) and downloaded the Combo Update to 10.6.7, instead of automatically updating all the way to 10.6.8.
Hope that helps!
Finally, I'm shocked that an Apple Store would not be more helpful!

What ram to get?

(excuse for the double post as i have this in the ipod section aswell as it applies to both areas)
Im using an iMac G5 1.6Ghz PowerPC with 256MB DDR SDRAM running Mac OSX version 10.3.9
I have used this mac for a few years now, but consider it still a reasonably modern and expensive computer.
I use my iPod alot and had a iPod 30GB video, all was great!
then one day my ipod broke, id had it a couple of years too and used it alot so wasnt too bitter about it, i decided to buy a new one, and as one the same was no longer available i went for the so called 'iPod Classic'
The iPod arrived and then the problems began, i did have another thread on the problem as it was unfolding but i thought i would put all together into one new post.
the iPod required a newer version of itunes.. no problem i thought, just download the newest version!
But guess what? itunes required a newer version of OSX!
i was desperate at the time as was goin on holiday so i ordered it quickly, and it arrived in time, although in my haste i didnt check the system requirements and guess what? OSX leopard (as i couldnt buy an inbetween version) required atleast 512mb ram!
well that was it, too late for holiday, but i did manage to go to a friends house who had a PC and get some CDs transferred onto my ipod there on his PC running the newst itunes (can i point out his PC is around 8 years old)
well after the holiday ive been saving to upgrade my ram so i can install the OSX leopard i forked out for but now i check the memory section and they dont even appear to have memory for my imac, the earliest one i can see is the one after mine with the intel processor.
can anyone please help me. i broke my ipod and its cost me a new ipod, a new operating system and now im worried i need a whole new mac just to add music to it!

This is a good place to easily find the correct RAM for Macs

Confused about what to download

Hi all,
I am getting back into Java after 5 years and am totally at a loss as to how to set up my environment and what I really need.
I am trying to download the j2EE SDK and I am offered the following choices:
Java Application Platform SDK Update 2
Java EE 5 SDK Update 2
Download the Components Independently
and under each choice, I am given the following options:
Download
Download with JDK
Download with Tools
I downloaded the "Java EE 5 SDK Update 2" using the "Download with JDK" option" but when the time came to set my "Java_Home" variable, I have no clue as to what directory to set it to. The software was downloaded under c:\sun\sdk. whereas all the forums online show that the JAVA_HOME variable should be set to something like "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_02".
What am I doing wrong? The Sun naming convention has me totally confused to say the least. Can someone please shed some light on this? Thanks!

Sorry that this isn't clearer. Welcome back to Java, by the way!
Having downloaded and installed the "with JDK" option, you should find the JDK installed in a subdirectory under where you installed the Java EE SDK itself.
To be honest, it has been a long time since I installed that variant myself so I don't remember for sure what directory that'll be but if I recall correctly it'll be obvious at the first level below the installation directory.

If you have an intel Mac, you can use BootCamp, which is part of your OS and allows you to run Windows.
