ThinkCentr​e M72e Mini Tower (0967-A7U) RAM Memory Expansion

My first posted question was worded badly. As I understand it there are two RAM memory slots. I currently have 2 X 2 GBs of RAM installed. I am wondering if I can remove the current memory and install a single 8GB module in only one of the slots. This is in the event that I want to upgrade again in the future to 16 BGs by adding another 8GB module. Or, should I just get 2 X 4 GBs? I guess I'm not sure if only using one of the slots will impeed performance somehow..
Thanks,

My brother has a high end laptop with a built in, high end gaming video card (I forget which one). He's able to run the game on full-on Ultra. 
I have an integrated video card which games the game on.. 'cartoon'.. mode. It's lower then low. When someone shoots a powerful spell at me, I go into a DOS Prompt. (not really, but it's pretty bad).
Funny thing is, I can still kick my brother's butt in any PVP match he wants to set up. 
But I guess his graphics are pretty....
As for which video card works best, I'd have to do some research. After that graphics update they did with CAT,  it's kind of a toss up again.

  • I was told G4 Tower was slower than G3 mini tower?

    Hi all,
    I was told that the G4 tower was slower than the G3 mini tower. Isn't 400mhz vs the 266mhz suppose to be faster? Or is this not a true factor? Let me know. Thanks for your help
    Web dude.

    Hi-
    Let's see
    Processor: 266mhz vs. 400mhz
    Data Path: 64bit 66mhz vs. 128 bit 100 mhz
    Cache: L1 32K L2 512K vs. L1 64k L2 1mb
    Memory: 384mb max. RAM vs. 1gb max. RAM
    Video Memory: 6mb SGRAM (max) vs. 16mb SDRAM(min)
    Ethernet: 10baseT vs. 10/100 baseT
    no USB vs. 2 USB
    no Firewire vs. 3 Firewire
    I would say you were misinformed.
    The above comparison is G3 266mhz Mini Tower to G4 400mhz PCI Graphics. The G4's just get faster from there. And we won't even get into expandability......

  • Upgrading Graphics card and Power supply in Dell vostro 460 mini tower

    I have a dell vostro 460 with i5-2400 3.4 Ghz,12GB DDR3 RAM,350W stock PSU and msi Radeon HD 7750 gpu.I want to upgrade my GPU to Asus strix gtx 960 4GB version or maybe gtx 970 if it fits.For that i need to upgrade my PSU.So I have choosen Corsair GS 600 psu(600W),so will it fit in my mini tower.And also will a gtx 970 fit in my pc after upgrading my psu.if not then what about gtx 960 4GB variant.I am really cofused.I dont want to buy if I won't be able to use it.Pls clearify my doubts.

    Plug in No post No nothing OR  Plug in Post , Install Drivers, Reboot,  Nothing Black Screen.There is a 6792 post thread on them not working in XPS 8700's. Any Standard EPS12v Power supply like the corsair CS750M will fit in your case.
    You can test the not working theory by calling up a vendor that sells the 900 series cards and tell them you have a vostro 460 and that when you install the driver and reboot its a black screen.
    Then tell them you want an RMA for a non working card and see how they dance around not giving you your money back.
    The EPS12V spec 2.92 guarantees 170w combined on the 5V/3.3V rails and 20W on the 5VSB as well as 45 amps on a Single 12V rail.

  • Any way to install Tiger or Panther?Beige G3 Mini Tower with G4 ZIF upgrade

    Networked to my DP MDD 1.25GHz G4 (2004) running Tiger 10.4.11, I have my 11-year-old Beige G3 Mini Tower with a G4 ZIF upgrade running Mac OS 9.2.2.
    Sonnet, the upgrade manufacturer, says (or said, at some point) that the ZIF G4 CPU can run Panther or Tiger, but the problem is that the Mini Tower has no DVD drive to run the install disks; it has a CD drive only.
    Any workarounds?
    Obviously this is more out of curiosity than need, as I can run all my OS X software on the MDD G4 under Tiger.
    Thanks in advance.

    I don't know what issues you might have with the G3 SCSI drive and OS X, I was under the impression that the G3's floppy drive, serial ports (printer/modem), and SCSI chain would not work since there were no drivers for those G3 hardware items built into OS X.
    I found that my external serial port modem continued to work for dial-up and fax, but I don't recall any reports of the floppy drive or SCSI working in OS X. My external SCSI drive never worked, but I'm not sure if the internal SCSI might work. I guess you could try it. My experience with SCSI in the G3 was limited and several years ago, other folks here may have better personal knowledge to share on that.

  • Where can I buy a replacement power supply for Optiplex 9020 Mini Tower?

    Where can I buy a replacement power supply for Optiplex 9020 Mini Tower?
    I don't see anywhere on Dell's website to purchase this.

    So far there is no replacement/upgrade PSU for Dell Optiplex 9020 MT from Dell.
    Will a dedicated power supply work for playing games? i bought this system as used (excellent condition) just for Gaming Purpose (GTA V), now i am stuck with the PSU issue. I can alter the case to fit the big size GPUs, but the issue is of PSU.
    Will ePower EP-450CD can help me in any way.

    My windows side of my Mac Mini periodically shuts down saying there is a problem with the RAM saying I need a BIOS upgrade. What is that and can I do it or do I have to take it in or do I have to reinstall everything and give the windows side more hard drive? Currently my windows side is using 17GB of hard drive and I have 9 left after installing my windows and my bookkeeping program. If I have to give it more Har Drive how do I do that withouth reinstalling everything?

  • M73 Mini tower Graphics upgrade

    Hi all,
    How viable is it to upgrade the graphics card of the M73 Mini Tower version? I may want to do this at some point in the future. I will probably install a Radeon HD 7750. The M73 comes with a 280W PSU. It seems that computer hardware enthusiasts on internet forums recommend a PSU of well over 300W to use a dedicated graphics card.
    Is it viable? For that matter, how does the M73 handle Lenovo's available GPU options anyway (eg Nvidia GT 620 and Radeon HD 8570)? Does it have trouble supplying enough power?
    If the PSU is in fact underpowered, can it be upgraded later if required? eg can you put in another brand of PSU with higher wattage?
    Thanks.

    I got an HD8570 in the new M93p purcahsed recently.  I believe it uses 50W or less.
    Fortunately the HD8570 does not require additional PCIe power, which would be impossible anyway since the M93p also has that little 280W PSU which does not include any 75W PCIe power cables to go to high-end graphics cards.
    Unfortunately, the HD8570 from Lenovo is a 1/2-size version, and only has a VGA and HDMI connector on it. No DVI, and no DP.  So connecting it to your monitor requires considering cable or adapter requirements coming rom the only digital connection on the 1/2-size card which is HDMI.  This is a real shame, as the mini-tower cases (for my M93p) holds full-size cards.  So they could have used a full-size HD8570 with all four connectors on it as the AMD site shows this card available with.
    Also, the Lenovo OEM HD8570 only has DDR3 memory, rather than DDR5.  Another disappointment.
    I think the IdeaCenter K450 machine has the HD8670 as an option, and I think that has DDR5 memory... and also sucks up 75W (but probably again does not require external PCIe power which again would not be available with the same dinky PSU in the K450).  

  • Debian GNU/Linux on T1700 Mini Tower

    Hello.
    I realize that Dell offers Windows 7 preloaded on the Dell T1700 Mini Tower, my question is if can I install Debian GNU/Linux on it? or if I can get the T1700 without operating System.
    Thank you for your attention.

    Only canonical paid the $$Microsoft fee so Ubuntu 12.04.4 64 bit and later will boot.

    Hi Jadugar,
    Welcome to Lenovo forums
    As I understood that you are looking for the graphics card which is compatible with your H530s desktop.
    As this model is compatible with AMD Radeon HD  up to  2GB or NVIDIA GeForce GT 635 2GB.
    Also you need to install the driver which supports these graphic cards.
    Hope this helps! Do post us back for further queries.

  • SQL query returns few rows, but holds on with several Gbs of RAM memory used

    If I perform the following query:
    SELECT d.DocumentGUID, d.DocumentID
    FROM ImportDataBase.dbo.Document d
    LEFT OUTER JOIN ContentDataBase.dbo.Document d2 ON (d.DocumentGUID = d2.DocumentGUID)
    WHERE ( d2.DocumentGUID IS NULL ) -- new document in the ImportDB
    OR ( d2.DocumentGUID IS NOT NULL AND d.QueryContent <> d2.QueryContent ) -- modified document in the ImportDB
    It returns around 1000 rows and takes about 3 minutes to complete
    It also raises up the RAM memory used from 2GB to 9GBs. 
    This memory used will remain used untill I restart the server. I have no need to make use of that memory, I already copied the returned rows of that query into a note pad for example. And any other reason of SQL has to  to keep that memory stored by
    that query, I  dont want it.
    Is there a way to release that memory I really dont need my SQL server to keep, without having to restart the SQL server?
    and without topping the max memory the sql server uses, since I need my SQL server to use as much as it needs in other tasks(I dont think it needs to hold on to the above query memory used)
    Thank You very much.

    Is there a way to release that memory I really dont need my SQL server to keep, without having to restart the SQL server?
    and without topping the max memory the sql server uses, since I need my SQL server to use as much
    A query can be resource intensive even if it returns a single row. Generally it is a good idea to set SQL Server MAX memory.
    BOL: "Optimizing Server Performance Using Memory Configuration Options
    The memory manager component of Microsoft SQL Server eliminates the need for manual management of the memory available to SQL Server. When SQL Server starts, it dynamically determines how much memory to allocate based on how much memory the operating system
    and other applications are currently using. As the load on the computer and SQL Server changes, so does the memory allocated. For more information, see Memory Architecture.
    The following server configuration options can be used to configure memory usage and affect server performance:
    •min server memory
    •max server memory
    •max worker threads
    •index create memory
    •min memory per query
    The min server memory server configuration option can be used to ensure that SQL Server does not release memory below the configured minimum server memory once that threshold is reached. This configuration option can be set to a specific value based on the
    size and activity of your SQL Server. If you choose to set this value, set it to some reasonable value to ensure that the operating system does not request too much memory from SQL Server, which can affect SQL Server performance.
    The max server memory server configuration option can be used to specify the maximum amount of memory SQL Server can allocate when it starts and while it runs. This configuration option can be set to a specific value if you know there are multiple applications
    running at the same time as SQL Server and you want to guarantee that these applications have sufficient memory to run. If these other applications, such as Web or e-mail servers, request memory only as needed, then do not set the max server memory server
    configuration option, because SQL Server releases memory to them as needed. However, applications often use whatever memory is available when they start and do not request more if needed. If an application that behaves in this manner runs on the same computer
    at the same time as SQL Server, set the max server memory server configuration option to a value that guarantees that the memory required by the application is not allocated by SQL Server."

  • New ram memory

    i got a second edition G5 (dual 2ghz) with 1 gig ram, a mate of mine bought the wrong ram for his imac, seems it was for a g5
    the reference is KTA-G5400E/1G (Kingston)
    website: http://www.ec.kingston.com/ecom/configurator_new/Parts.asp?KingPN=kta-g5400&subm it1=Valider&SearchType=KingPNFind&root=fr&LinkBack=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kingston.com %2Ffrroot
    Does anyone know if that memory card works with my mac, i'm not the biggest computer wizzard so i don't have an idea if its the right one.
    Greetings and thanks.
    Tom

    Hi Tom-
    Support for ECC momory in G5's began (I believe) with the Dual core dual processor and quad G5. The dual core 2x 2.0 model M9590LL/A had the option of ECC RAM.
    Have a look at the following document:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86790
    You can use the diagrams of the RAM slots for ID of your G5.
    As far as the current RAM installed is concerned, I am fairly sure that it is not ECC RAM. Though, there are reports of some non-ECC G5 models shipping with ECC RAM, most all are non ecc.
    You can go to the Crucial memory site, and use their system scan to see what type of RAM it reports you as having.
    http://www.crucial.com/index.asp
    If non ECC, as I suspect, I don't believe that you can mix the new with your existing.
    Also, in the above referenced Apple document, there is reference to the serial number tag in G5's. You can also find info on the type of RAM that is installed in your machine.

  • How to Copy a value of a String to the RAM memory?

    Hi there,
    I was wondering how to copy a String into the ram memory (consider you're doing right click on THIS word and choose 'Copy'; the String's Value will be to the ram memory for a later Paste).
    In my application, a user has a table and he right click on it and choose Copy. I get the value of the item (Obj) but face dificulties to add it to RAM.
    my code looks like this:
              if (obj!=null)  //inside I have the value (say: 12345 --< Obj.toString)
                   Action copyAction = TransferHandler.getCopyAction();
                   int id = ActionEvent.ACTION_PERFORMED;
                   String name =  (String) copyAction.getValue(Action.NAME);
                   long l = EventQueue.getMostRecentEventTime();
                   copyAction.actionPerformed(new ActionEvent(XXXXXXX, id, name, l ,0));     
                            ///what comes in the XXXXXXX      
              }I tried, instead of the XXXXXXX, to put Obj or Obj.toString but...nothing.
    Anyone?

    Thanks,
    should implement ClipboardOwner
    and do this:
                  StringSelection stringSelection = new StringSelection( obj.toString() );
                  Clipboard clipboard = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemClipboard();
                  clipboard.setContents( stringSelection, this );
    @Override
         public void lostOwnership(Clipboard clipboard, Transferable contents)
              //do nothing!
