Vista x64 - 4gb ram - need suggesti

I've experienced the same problems as noted on other posts on this site regarding the X-fi sound card and 4gb of ram. Horrible crackling and popping...
?I am running Vista 64bit with 4 gigs of ram... I've tried getting my X-fi extreme music card to work to no avail. I've tried my old Audigy 2zs card that I had in another computer which seemed to work for a time, but then started blue screening... My question is this:? Is there a good sound card at this time that supports Vista 64 with 4gb ram?I don't want to settle for on-board audio as I play cpu intense games, and I don't want to settle for removing 2gb of ram to solve the issue. Any suggestions would be great!?Thanks,?[url=mailto:[email protected]">[email protected][/url]?

Someone posted a while ago that they adjusted their Vista power settings and it fixed the problem. It was said that if you set it to the "high performance" setting it would solve some of the issues with the "popping" problem. My system has been set to high performance for a while and I have no issue with it and others have said this works for them.
The default power setting in Vista is "Balanced".

Hello!
Please say what PSU you got, and what it can do on the +12V.
You ask a good question, but I was thinking one of the sticks is not recognised for some reason. That would leave 2048 kB + 512 kB = 2560 kB. As for the OS part that is pretty close.
So make sure both sticks are in good order and seated well, by testing them one at a time. Make sure the memory has the recommended voltage, as by the manufacturer.

Turn on memory hole or memory remapping if you have one of those in the bios.
I've looked everywhere on the motherboard for such a function and there doesn't seem to be one. I tried using the overclocking feature once, and it just jams itself on the first try (boot/reboot forever). Maybe something wrong with the MB?

Vista x64 & 4gb+ with driver 2.15.0002 - 30th

The blue screen of death still strikes me with this new driver. I thought this update was going to fix the 4gb+ ram issue. It ruins the point of having a 64-bit OS if you can't run 4gb or more of ram without blue screens caused by the sound driver.

My 4GB issue fixed itself after I reinstalled Vista 64-bit a week or two ago.
I temporarily enabled software/hardware memory remapping to use 4GB in Linux and forgot to turn it off when I rebooted back into the clean Vista install. Sound continued to work fine and I forgot there was ever a problem until recently.
I did see an IRQ_(something) related BSOD on a secondary account when firing up Quicktime but I haven't been able to reproduce it on my main login; could have been the graphics driver for all I know. Plays movies/games just fine. Which is odd, because on the last install I couldn't even get the card to make any sound (except for a short crackled mess followed by permanent silence until the next reboot).

Vista x64 and new Macbook..

hi,
i installed Vista x64 on my new ALU Macbook. I also manually installed all x64 drivers from the mac cd. everything fine so far...
i just got the problem that i cant "tab" and rightclick on the trackpad .. only move mousepointer und mechanical leftclick ..
are there any solutions yet?
(need x64 vista because 4gb ram ...)

Hey
Did you install only the drivers or the WHOLE bootcamp? Coz when you install bootcamp you can just double click the icon near the clock (sry I don't know exactly how it's called in English). There is a tab 'Trackpad' and you can change the properties (e.g. to finger right click, moving windows around, touch to do a left click....)

Getting static audio with Titanium and Vista x64 at random times

@Getting static audio with Titanium and Vista x64 at random times$ I have had this card for about 6-8 months and relati'vely no issues.
I just upgraded to the latest drivers 270006 and now, sometimes after exiting Turbine's Lotro, my audio plays but is very static-y, but it doesn't happen all the time. I had iTunes minimized when playing Lotro and then went to play a song after exiting. I quit iTunes and tried it again and it was ok.
This also happened in Firefox, a YouTube video had the same static audio.
It doesn't happen all the time and I do play other games, but I haven't been playing much else right now.
So right now I don't know if it's a Lotro thing or just the drivers.
I have a Q9650, single GTX260, Asus P35 board (not SLI), Vista x64, 4GB.

Carl, do let us know on the Safe Mode test... would be the first thing I'd try with what you've mentioned, but yeah, daisy chained Hubs could possibly play into it.

I have a MacBook Pro 13inch 2.4GHz (Intel Core 2 Duo, 4Gb RAM, 250Gb HDD, NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics, SD card slot, up to 10 hour battery life)bought in October 2010 in the UK. The charger has stopped working. Which model and voltage do I need please?

I have a MacBook Pro 13inch 2.4GHz (Intel Core 2 Duo, 4Gb RAM, 250Gb HDD, NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics, SD card slot, up to 10 hour battery life) bought in October 2010. The charger has been playing up for a while now - the light going out but coming back on when I move the cable a bit - faulty connection it seems. It has now stopped working at all.
Apple UK charge a whopping £65 for a replacement - and the reviews are AWFUL for it!
I need to know which one I need - 45w, 60w and 80w are listed - can someone tell me please? If I'm going to pay this price I want to make sure I get the right one!
Also, is a genuine Apple one available on Amazon UK, does anyone know please?
Any help will be much appreciated.
Meanwhile my battery is going down.....

Thanks for that wjosten. Much appreciated.
I've read here on Apple's site that the 85W version will work, as you say, and that it would run cooler with a 13" Macbook - I have a 13" MBP of course but assume this would be the same with mine. I wonder if running cooler is a good thing (it sounds as if it is) and it would be better for me to get the 85W version than the 60W one?
Then I have to decide whether to pay the (extortionate as it seems to me, though I may be wrong) £65 from Apple (bearing in mind the rotten reviews here of the Apple product), or risk a cheaper alternative from Amazon UK, at around £20 (also with various rotten reviews)... Any suggestions? Please? :-)

Trying to get 32-bit Vista to see more than 2.5 gb of my 4gb ram - T500

Hello all,
I've been reading what I'm able to find on the subject, and have tried the following suggestions from (http://www.ocmodshop.com/ocmodshop.aspx?a=989) to bump up the amount of physical ram that Vista sees. I've tried to forceenable pae, and then :
Type BCDedit /set nx AlwaysOff
Type BCDedit /set pae ForceEnable
Setting DEP off, and neither had any effect on the physical RAM available. I read a few posts hinting that these options may be unecessary in SP1 of vista as well. So, here are my questions :
1. Is it possible for the T500 with 32-bit Vista to address more than 2.5gb of physical ram?
2. If so, how can I do it?
3. Am I eligible for a 64-bit version of Vista with the recent purchase of my T500 and Vista Business?
Any information is greatly appreciated. Thanks much all....
Solved!

I'll try a few more permutations of the options available, but did you do anything else?
Keep rebooting. At some point your system will recognize the additional ram.
My system did the same thing as yours. At first it showed an additional 54mb or so.
Then all of sudden it was up to 3,065mb. I can't remember how many reboots before
the big jump occurred. I am guessing 3 to 4 more reboots over a day or two.
I don't know why it takes several reboots before the system will recognized the additional ram.

Thank you Creative!!!!!! It took a while but i love my Sound Card!!!

I need to purchase one RAM 4gb, but I am not sure which of the 4gb RAM is the right one. I see many types in the market. Any opinion to this?

I have just lost one of my 4gb RAM. I need to replace it with a new one. I see that there lots of RAM's in the market of the same kind. Do they have any difference?

If you access the Crucial website, they have a program that will scan your MBP and let you know the RAM options that you have.
Best places to order RAM is Crucial and OWC.
Ciao.

Any suggestions, or fixes, as to why I have to rebuild my library after EVERY shutdown? I am running the latest 10.6, 2.92 ghz iMac core 2 duo, with 4gb ram.

Any suggestions, or fixes, as to why I have to rebuild my library after EVERY shutdown? I am running the latest 10.6, 2.92 ghz iMac core 2 duo, with 4gb ram. Install went well, as far as I know. No other problems. I fear, that unless I fix this, when I upgrade to a new computer, I will be taking the same problem with me.

So if you start Aperture do some stuff in it, quit, then open Aperture again it starts up OK but if you then quit Aperture, reboot your machine and start Aperture it stalls?
You're internal drive is getting close to being overfull your at about what 18.5% free space (some we'll say it's already overfull). You might what to think about freeing up space. If you weren't having any troubles I'd say it was fine but as you are experiencing problems it is something to look at.
While its been doing the processing have you been able to open the activity window in Aperture? If you click on the spinnig gear (not the beachball) when Aperture is busy you can usually get the activity window to open.
Other then that not sure what else to recommend at this point.

Need 4GB RAM for 2010 27 "computer where to buy it?

I need 2 4GB RAM for 2010 27 "computer where to buy it?

I installed exactly the combination you are considering in my 21.5 inch i-Mac a couple of weeks ago. I bought it from OWC based on comments and recommendations on this forum (and the fact that they are close to me as I was thinking of picking it up to save delivery time). As it turns out I had it sent, the RAM arrived the next day and I installed it in 10 minutes and it runs and performs perfectly.

8GB ram with Vista x64

I tried upgrading my 15" Unibody to 8GB. OSX runs fine, but Vista x64 goes crazy. Task manager shows 100% of both CPUs being utilized, for as long as 1/2 an hour. When I changed back to 6GB the problem instantly stopped. Checking the resource monitor I have come up with the following suspects:
Windows Defender
dwm.exe (which might be video)
Resource monitor itself
My installation is very clean, I have a few packages I need for work and that is all. I have followed the Vista freezing thread but that doesn't seem to have an answer.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

The computer can handle it. OSX ran fine with 8GB. 64-bit Vista is another story. There is something in the drivers or the OS that just flips out with 8GB under Vista. I am going to stay with 6GB until there is a Bootcamp 2.2 or Snow Leopard come out. All of my other (4) bootcamp installations have been super easy. This one has been a real disappointment.

Does MacBook Pro need more than 4gb ram to run osx lion?

Machine is mid 2009, 4gb ram, 2.26 ghz processor. Since installing the operating system update and updates to iPhoto, most programs take a longer to load than originally. I have plenty of hard drive space available for virtual memory.
I have priced up adding ram, but want to be sure before I spend the money.

I think it is safe to say, yes Lion requires more RAM to run and maintain the OS compared to your previous Snow Leopard or Tiger. But still 2 GB of RAM is advertised as the minimum requirement.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4949
The new Mavericks does seem to manage memory better however the RAM requirement is the same.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842
RAM is considered your best bang for the buck, if you do decide to upgrade.

Vista x64 drivers needed for Satellite U200

Hello,
has anyone installed Vista x64 on the satellite U200? I want to change now to 64 bit, will upgrade to 4 GB memory as well.
Has anyone experience with the drivers that work? For chipset, wireless and graphics there is no problem. For the fingerprint I have as well. But how is it with the Value Added Package? Is this compatible with x64 and the Flashcards as well? Someone tried to install??
Thanks for answers!
snipe

Hello again! I changed to Vista x64 now - and what shall I say!!! WOW! It is two times faster then the old x86! Cannot believe it!
And I got nearly everything working, except the toshiba value added package - so I do not have the flashcards and the wireless changer - but I can wait - hope they fix this. Everything else works:
-fingerprint
-graphicscard
-wireless
-lan
-logitech mouse
-bluetooth (even switched to windows stack now for compatiblity reasons with logitech and nokia suite)
-toshiba assist works
-touchpad works, with scroll and so on
yeah thats it so far - and I am happy - did not expect so much! Try it yourself!

Windows 8 (all versions) stop several times, bootcamp 4.0 macbook air core i 5 4GB Ram, 128 SSD

Hello People.
1- Macbook Air Core i 5 4GB Ram 128 SSD. mountain lion 10.8.2 (latest updates).
2- Windows 8 core or windows 8 professional or windows 8 enterprise.
mixed with:
Boot camp 4.0 in a 35GB partition.
Results:
after complete installing the windows 8 it stops working if I install windows support drivers then stops working again.
Then I must restart required by pressing the power button for 10 seconds.
installing on a battery, not charging is OK and works good drivers updated, but when you plug in the charger for charging the MAcbook Air Battery , it stops working again.
I Confused. May be a driver of

I see that you are saying all versions of Windows 8 are failing on your system, but are you including 32-bit and 64-bit flavors? I understand why 32-bit versions might give you grief (too much RAM for a 32-bit system to handle). A 64-bit system might still have device driver issues. Microsoft does not auto-magically have all the device drivers in the world that are necessary to make any system usable. The original device manufacturers must provide Microsoft with drivers before the Windows Update servers would be able to communicate said drivers to the computers in question.
In regards to Apple devices, Apple has not yet released the device drivers needed to run the hardware with Windows 8. Apple has released the drivers for previous versions of Windows (XP SP2 and higher, Vista RTM and higher, 7 RTM and higher) to their userbase, but not to Microsoft for distribution through Windows Update (unless I am mistaken). Until Apple releases a version of Boot Camp updated for use with Windows 8, they have not yet released any form of the full collection of necessary device drivers for normal device function with Windows 8. Running compatibility mode on the Windows 7 device driver bundle via boot camp is not a fully palatable solution because compatibility mode generally is meant for application programs, not device driver services. Therefore, partial compatibility might be gained by using the Windows 7 device drivers for Windows 8 with the compatibility mode enabled prior to install. Unfortunately, much unanticipated incompatibility is equally likely with such a decision.
Some parting words on the subject may be necessary for clarification: prior to the RTM versions of Windows 8, the trial versions of Windows 8 were distributed with a much wider array of device drivers than the RTMs. This was for Microsoft's testing purposes. Furthermore, some of the architecture used during the trial period likely used Windows 7 engines more than Windows 8 engines. This means the Windows 7 drivers pack would have had more likelihood of working during the Beta and Release Candidate periods than during the final Golden Master period we have now entered. Regardless, it is not recommended by Apple (our hardware manufacturer) to use another method of installing Windows on a Mac than to utilize Boot Camp.
As Mende1 suggested, you would be wise to reinstall a previous version of Windows you may have been running. Also, given your previous post, you will want to repair your OS X installation back to full functionality prior to the Windows reinstall. For a reasonable timeline estimate, consider that it took 89 days from the original release of Windows 7 by Microsoft until Apple originally released device drivers via an updated Boot Camp. That puts a reasonable ETA for the necessary Boot Camp update at January 22nd/23rd. Even though this does not seem to apply to your situation, the discounted download for the Windows 8 Pro Upgrade will end after January 31st.
Cheers!
