Vista maximum memory on A215-S4747

On a Satellite A215-S4747, have two 512 MB memory cards. I know the maximum memory to install is 4 GB. However, what is maximum memory Vista Home Premium will use on this system? If it is only 3 GB, can one 2 GB card and one 512 MB card be used? Does it matter which card goes in which slot? Thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you are still running Vista Home Premium 32 Bit, then it can utilize just over 3GB DDR2 RAM. Yes, you can use a 2GB stick along with a 512MB stick, I usually suggest putting the larger stick closest to the motherboard.

A215-S4747 Unable to Locate and Install PCI Device Driver

This is a Toshiba Satellite A215-S4747 32-bit AMD processor running Windows Vista Home Premium.
I have repeatedly tried to locate the PCI driver by using the discs that accompanied the PC, locating the correct driver on Toshiba Support, and though the device manufacturer is "unknown". I have attempted to write and get a response from the chipset manufacturer - but they claim their is no way for them to know and to contact Toshiba.
So, how do you solve this problem? (PC troubleshooting responses):
PCI Device - failed
OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller - failed
Went to locate: C:\DRVSTEMP - does not exist.
My devices:
Satellite A215-S4747 32-bit AMD processor, Vista Home Premium
Satellite P72-A7200 Intel Core I7 4700MQ CPU @ 2.4GHz, Windows 8.1

Let's try this driver and see if resolves the problem. Download this file, double click to install, reboot after installation and test:
TI Card Reader Driver
If this doesn't work, click on 'Start' -> type in: system info -> click on 'System Information' -> in the left-hand pane click on 'Components' -> in the left-hand pane click on 'Problem Devices' -> in the right-hand pane, under the 'PNP Device ID' column, give us the 4 digit VEN number, and the 4 digit DEV number. Like in the below example: VEN_8086 and DEV_4232.
Let us know what happens or give us the above numbers.

Is there a default maximum memory allocation ?

Hi,
I would like to ask if there is a default maximum memory allocation in the virtual machine?
I know there are params for setting the initial und maximum size but I'm not sure if the vm will take as much memory as I have in my computer or not.
thanks
guenter

Hi guenter
Are you looking for the -Xmx parameter?
According to the below link, the default maximum is 64MB

What's the maximum memory ram for Macbook Pro?

Hello,
May I know what's the maximum memory ram capacity for Macbook Pro?
I am having Macbook Pro - 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Thank you!

Hate to resurrect a dead horse but....I was looking in the instructions for memory upgrades and the instructions specified that the computer will only recognize 3 gigs. Will that still be in effect if I upgrade to Snow Leopard when it becomes available? Or do I need to save my pennies for a Mac Pro? What I am getting at is: is the reason for the RAM cap due to software issues, 64 bit not being native, different version of leopard used on notebooks, or is it due to hardware issues.

Maximum Memory Size & Memory Size

Will a server's memory automatically increase from Memory Size to Maximum Memory Size as the VM requires it? Or is this only valid for adding memory to the Memory Size value manually?

The max memory size just specifies the maximum amount to which you can manually adjust the memory of a running VM. I've now taken to setting the max memory size to the total available memory on my Oracle VM Servers, with memory size set to something reasonable. This way, I can adjust right up to the limit of physical memory without rebooting.

What is the maximum memory for Macbook Pro 8,1?

The Crucial site recommends 2x8GB, but "MacTracker" says that although you can install 16GB, the computer will only access 8GB. Which is it?

It is:
Maximum Memory
16 GB (Actual) 8 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots
2 - 204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
MacTracker makes no such statement.

Of course. The Crucial Memory Advisor Tool allows you to look for your Mac model and it tells you the maximum RAM you can install > http://www.crucial.com

Turn maximum memory available/user in Solaris OS

As part of the operating system turning for weblogic performance, how to check and turn the maximum memory available for a user process for Sun Solaris 2.6?
Thanks in advance.

It's clear that MathWorks have not updated their software to 64 bits: I'd like them to, (and I have asked them when they will!) but I am wondering if there are limitations that stop me from getting more than about half of the 32 bit memory space.

Hyper-V, Dynamic Memory, Memory Demand more than Maximum memory

Hi,
I have found that for some VMs Demand Memory more that Maximum Memory set.
Where can I found any documentation about this?

A VM can 'demand' more memory than is possible'
But it will never actually be given more then the maximum.
In the VM the application is asking for more RAM from the virtual memory manager of the OS in the VM (not to be confused with any memory management that the hypervisor is doing).
When the VM hits its Maximum setting it is no different than a physical machine hitting its physical RAM cap - the OS begins paging to give the application the additional RAM it is asking for.
It simply means that you have a greedy application. SQL and the Exchange mailbox role have a long history of being very greedy applications (SQL made many changes to work in concert with dynamic memory) - taking all of the RAM they could get.
In your case, you have a startup of 32GB a minimum of 24GB and a Maximum of 36GB. And the application in the VM would 'like' to have 54GB. If you look in your VM OS you will probably find that it is paging to disk.
What is your allocation setting? The default of 20% Higher?
Personally - I see little value in using dynamic memory with such a small window of difference between the startup, minimum, and maximum. It is as if you are trying to micro manage the feature, instead of allowing the feature to work as designed.
Dynamic memory is designed to balance RAM between all of the VMs on a particular hypervisor at the same time. And to allow use of all the RAM the machine has, if there is a workload that can use it. If the VM wants 64GB, why not give it that.
Dynamic memory will not starve other VMs to give this VM more RAM (unless you give this VM a higher priority). But it will take RAM away from a VM (if absolutely necessary) to allow another VM to meet its requirements.
Any VM is always guaranteed its startup, at boot time. And dynamic memory will not starve it below it minimum - and if the VM is not using RAM it will take RAM away down to the minimum. And a VM will never be given more than the maximum, even
if the VM wants more.

Z61t maximum memory

hello
i am the proudful owner of a z61t 9443, and recently i decided that the machine will serve me for even more time so i plan to upgrade it.
ok so here is the case:
Everywhere in the web I read about z61t memory maxing out at 3 gbs.
People say on forums like this one that its due to the chipset, due to “physical limitation”
link to forum
But intel on the other hand says that the 945GM chipset that z61t has is able to have a 4gb maximum memory.
Here is the datasheet for the 945 chipset family, at page 23 it’s the 945gm that z61 is having
link to datasheet
here is intel site, also stating a 4gb maximum memory
link to intels site
according Wikipedia
There are many different limitations on usable RAM / memory / address space in computing. Some of these limits are due to
A: the design of CPUs,
B: others due to the design of chipsets,
C: BIOS and
D: other hardware and related electrical limitations.
E: Some result from the design of software and operating systems.
We exclude
A: since a t7400 x64 cpu can be used
B: since as the links suggest the chipset can handle 4gbs, I don’t think intel has a reason to lie.
E: x64 cpu means an x64 OS
so...
will 2x2gb dims work?
will a x64 OS be able to use that 4gbs?
and if not then why?
thanks in advance.

2 x 2 gigs will work, but only 3 gigs will be used regardless of which os you will be then.
Because, firstly Lenovo limited the bios to address only 3 gigs, and even if they didn't limit the bios, you would have a hard time getting above 3.25 gigs without having to turn off lot of hardwares.

Is there a maximum memory allocated?

Dear all,
Anyone knows if there's a limitation to the maximum memory
that labview can allocate in Win98?
I cannot allocate more than ~ 19500 KB and my computer has

It seems it is a problem with the working set size and locking of pages. We have developed under Win2000 and have a double buffer daq application. The problem was the application was too late in the loop to get the data from the driver so it gets overwritten. Think of calling AI Read in a loop and the loop stopped for some time.
I suppose you have no documentation for the windows API so I give you some from the MSDN.
VirtualLock is the function which locks memory into RAM.
"The VirtualLock function locks the specified region of the process's virtual address space into physical memory, ensuring that subsequent access to the region will not incur a page fault.
All pages in the specified region must be committed. Memory protected with PAGE_NOACCESS cannot be locked.
Locking pages into memory may degrade the performance of the system by reducing the available RAM and forcing the system to swap out other critical pages to the paging file. Each version of Windows has a limit on the maximum number of pages a process can lock. This limit is intentionally small to avoid severe performance degradation. Applications that need to lock larger numbers of pages must first call the SetProcessWorkingSetSize function to increase their minimum and maximum working set sizes. The maximum number of pages that a process can lock is equal to the number of pages in its minimum working set minus a small overhead.
Pages that a process has locked remain in physical memory until the process unlocks them or terminates.
To unlock a region of locked pages, use the VirtualUnlock function. Locked pages are automatically unlocked when the process terminates."
The SetProcessWorkingSetSize functions allows you to get more locked memory.
"The SetProcessWorkingSetSize function sets the minimum and maximum working set sizes for the specified process.
The working set of a process is the set of memory pages currently visible to the process in physical RAM memory. These pages are resident and available for an application to use without triggering a page fault. The size of the working set of a process is specified in bytes. The minimum and maximum working set sizes affect the virtual memory paging behavior of a process.
The working set of the specified process can be emptied by specifying the value -1 for both the minimum and maximum working set sizes.
If the values of either dwMinimumWorkingSetSize or dwMaximumWorkingSetSize are greater than the process' current working set sizes, the specified process must have the SE_INC_BASE_PRIORITY_NAME privilege. Users in the Administrators and Power Users groups generally have this privilege. For more information about security privileges, see Privileges.
The operating system allocates working set sizes on a first-come, first-served basis. For example, if an application successfully sets 40 megabytes as its minimum working set size on a 64-megabyte system, and a second application requests a 40-megabyte working set size, the operating system denies the second application's request.
Using the SetProcessWorkingSetSize function to set an application's minimum and maximum working set sizes does not guarantee that the requested memory will be reserved, or that it will remain resident at all times. When the application is idle, or a low-memory situation causes a demand for memory, the operating system can reduce the application's working set. An application can use the VirtualLock function to lock ranges of the application's virtual address space in memory; however, that can potentially degrade the performance of the system.
When you increase the working set size of an application, you are taking away physical memory from the rest of the system. This can degrade the performance of other applications and the system as a whole. It can also lead to failures of operations that require physical memory to be present; for example, creating processes, threads, and kernel pool. Thus, you must use the SetProcessWorkingSetSize function carefully. You must always consider the performance of the whole system when you are designing an application."
But these functions will not be supported under Win98. I know from some other function which was stated to be not supported under Win98 were supported under Win98SE.
But thats the time to get an answer from NI personal with more insight into what NIDAQ and the lvdaq.dll does.

You can limit the maximum memory used via command line options to the VM.
Noting of course that typically if you are in fact actually using that memory that reducing it is going to have some negative impact on your application including catastrophic failure.
Conversely if the application is not in fact actively using that memory then limiting it just because some tool reports that the OS has reserved it then limiting it is pointless.

A215-S4747 front speakers

Can someone tell me where can I find the small front speakers for Satellite A215-S4747 ? and how much do they cost ??
Thanks
Jolivog

Hi,
I am not sure how the speakers system was connected to play music as well as sound from a computer game. Was your friend running two applications at the same time (itunes and a computer game) on the computer?
Try disconnecting your speakers and connect only a pair of headphones to the lineout of your sound card/onboard sound. Play a music file, do you hear any sound from your headphones? This should allow you to find out which device is having issue, the speakers system or your sound card/onboard sound.
If it is the speakers system, it's best to get in touch with support to get it repaired/replaced.
Hope this helps.
