What gains do you see with 16GB of RAM

Having 6 GB of RAM in my MacPro 8 core, what gains would I see by ramping the RAM to 16GB.

CS3 will make great use of 10GB RAM. Except that Adobe forgot to include - and hasn't yet posted -
ForceVMBuffering plug-in
It should be in the Extensions folder in the Optional Plug-ins folder. If it isn't, then we'll need to post it so people can download it. I'm checking various media now...
We're working on getting them available to users ASAP. Adam
OS X is happy to use available memory as cache (and more than just 8GB as well)... for those users working with large 1GB and larger files where it really helps so you can avoid to some extent your scratch RAID. And some people still need to use their expensive SCSI or SATA RAID of multiple 10K/15K drives. May seem extreme but.
And as Barefeats noted last week, CS3 is a good candidate for 8-Core.

What browser are you using with OS 9.x?

Would you all please state which internet browser you are using with OS 9.x and the strengths/weaknesses you are experiencing with it?
I switch back and forth between Mozilla and Internet Explorer but fewer and fewer websites work properly with them. If there is a better browser than those two I would add it to my old Wallstreet running 0S 9.1.
Again, what browser are you using with OS 9.x and what are its good/bad points?
Thanks!

I have an iCab filter set up for Yahoo on my OS 9.2.1 iMac.
For the URL string I use (asterisk)yahoo(asterisk)
For the Scripts filter I use the Netscape identity and have all versions checked except "JScript", and everything is checked in the "Allow" section.
For the Network filter I use the Firefox identity and have the HTTP "referer" set to "Always".
I don't use Yahoo Mail much on that machine, but those settings allow me to use the Address book to select addresses and send messages with attachments. (I'm not sure about viewing attachments, though, and I'm almost positive that address auto-complete doesn't work.)
Cheers,

Thanks Sarthak. Oddly, when I am in my edit profile mode and go to view as "dropdown" (choose everyone, registered members) They all show my real name in the sample and not my screen name which I think should be fixed.

Will Windows 7 Pro run with 16GB of Ram in Macbook Pro Early 2011 13-inch?

Will Windows 7 Pro run with 16GB of Ram in Macbook Pro Early 2011 13-inch?, Does the brand of the Ram matter ?
I installed Crucial 16 gb and the Mac runs just fine but Windows won't start. It gets to the login screen then it turns white.

I decided to make another try today after some reading and googling the internet.
I started windows with my old 4GB memory and changed the bootconfiguration with msconfig. I typed manually in max memory tp 16384 MB and saved the settings. Then I turned it off and inserted the 16GB ram again. Then it started really but when looking at the properties of my computer it says 16 GB installed but I can only use 2,16GB. So I opened msconfig again and changed the settings once more and restarted. Now it says 16GB installed but I can use 14,2GB so I guess it is ok now for some strange reason. I suppose the lost 1,8GB is for the system ?? Do I dare to turn it off again :-) what will it say next time ?
I am so happy and greatful for all your help, I really really appreciate it and I hope my solution will come to use for someone else with same problem.
Thank You all :-)

Over 3GB of swap files with 16GB of RAM?

Just bought a MBPr with 16gb of RAM (more for futureproofing than any actual need right now). I'm constantly checking Activity Monitor and "Free RAM" is always around 8GB or more. I notice, however, that the "Swap used" totals are quite high. I don't have any pageouts so why do I have so much swapspace being consumed? With an SSD drive in here, should I not be worried that the OS is using swapspace so much when it probalby doesn't need to?
Thanks!

K as far as I understood modern OS's, they write memory to disk when physical RAM is exhausted. My physical RAM has not been physically exhausted and yet I still see high numbers of pagefiles. This is my concern; especially since I have an SSD that can't be replaced I'd rather not accelerate its demise with unecessary writes.
That's the thing - it is way more complicated than that. That is how virtual memory worked 20 years ago. It is best to avoid looking too closely at memory values. When people do that they start seeing problems that aren't there.
I'm not sure how you can say mountain lion's virtual memory is optimized for SSDs and that most of the swap space doesn't exist, even though it exists in the form of pagefiles without backing it up with concrete sources.
I say that because Apple is moving to SSDs for their new machines, so that is where the focus is. Even with 16 GB, any application could exhaust your memory if allowed. MacOS X uses those swap files to keep that from happening.

Hi. I am running Windows 8.1 on a 64 bit Toshiba Satellite P70-A laptop with 16Gb of RAM. I have installed Adobe Creative Suite 6 - Master Collection. All is fine except for Adobe Acrobat X. It runs OK for a while, but then suddenly it won't work. I uninstall it, re-boot and re-install again, bit the same process repeats itself and once again I have to uninstall and re-install again. I don't know if windows update interferes with it? Has anyone else had a similar problem? Is it fixable?

I think you'd be much better off asking in the Acrobar forum, Acrobat

My quicktime is very jerky with 1080p video but when I play the video file in FCPX its smooth. I recently upgraded to OS mavericks on iMac with 16gb of ram and should not be having this problem. Is it possible to reinstall older software?

My quicktime is very jerky with 1080p video but when I play the video file in FCPX its smooth. I recently upgraded to OS mavericks on 2011 iMac with 16gb of ram and should not be having this problem. Is it possible to reinstall older software? I cant figure whats causing the jerky video so I'm assuming its the new OS. Any one have any suggestions?

I have the same but not the same problem. When I play a sound or a video on a website (other than youtube)on safari, a weird nois is comeing from the speakers, the sound has pops/clicks but if I play the same video/sound on mozilla it works fine.. If wnyone know what's the problem.. please let us know

What exactly can you do with NFC on WinPhone 8.1?

Hi
I was wondering when "exciting" things are gonna happen with NFC technology. So, yeah, we can "share pictures, contacts and more" by tapping phones against each other. Boring, especially when you think about it that with "old technology" like bluetooth you can share things without tapping phones against each other :-)
Yes, you can buy tags that let you automatically launch apps. Handy, but not groundbreaking.
Yes, it can automatically pair to a quite expensive speaker (given the sound quality) when you put your phone on top of it. My phone just pairs via bluetooth when I'm home, without having to put my phone on top of a speaker...
The really nice thing about NFC, I think, is that you could theoretically use it to go inside the metro by passing your phone along the reader instead of your usual metro card (cities like Amsterdam and London use NFC chips in their metrocards to go in and out of the metro). If you have an accident, somebody else could theoretically tap your phone to see your health information, or telephone numbers of people to be warned.
You could easily connect your Visa/Master/Goldcard to your phone (via Wallet in WP's case) and pay "contactlessly".
Windows Phones have NFC for already a few years and nothing much happens around it. Apple launches the Iphone6 and says that they are working on a payment system based on Visa+NFC. I hope Microsoft doesn't miss this train...
So, what else could we do with NFC?

Apple is not working on anything, they implemented an existing system and provide an app to use it. You can use any NFC equiped phone provided the carrier supports this which is where the problem lies, the carriers. Windows Phone has support for this functionality and has done so for almost two years.

What exactly do you get with the analytics?

So I've been trying to do some research on the Analytics that you get with both the pro and enterprise account... and I've yet to get a clear answer as to what type of analyitics you even get in general... the best I could find is that you can tie in SiteCatylst with the enterprise account... but that doesn't tell me anything more than "you get analytics with pro, and you can plug in with sitecatylst with enterprise!"
So besides the basic "this was downloaded X amount of times" what type of analytics do you even get? and what are the additional analytics you get with enterprise subscription?
Anyone got a nice list?
Thanks ahead of time...

Sudden Shutdown of iMacs with 16GB of RAM

An ongoing discussion of iMac shutdowns over at Apple Discussion has prompted me to try to get some answers to this issue that we too are seeing in one of our i5 iMacs with 16GB of 3rd Party RAM.
http://discussions.apple.com/messageview.jspa?messageID=13311466&stqc=true
Recently we found that the issue could be repeated when transforming a layer in Photoshop CS5. Dragging the image around, resizing it a few times will consistently cause a sudden shutdown of the machine. Not a standard shutdown or kernel panic, but an instant off to black screen. The machine will boot right back up with no problem.
Further, we also found that this would occur when the Photoshop tile cache size was set to 128k. Setting it up to 1024k seemed to get rid of the issue and we were never able to recreate the issue when set to 1024k tile cache.
Now I would think to blame Photoshop, but it happened in CS4 and CS5. It also has happened in other apps as well. It just so happens that Photoshop
is doing something that exacerbates the issue and triggers it.
Now, my question is this. And it is rather technical in nature, so if any Adobe techs are reading this, I would love your take on it.
I'd like to know what is going on in terms of data exchange between, RAM, video card or swap space when an image is being transformed.
Does the change in the tile cache size change how large the chunks of data are that are cached to the video card as well?
I'm wondering what the change in tile cache size could possibly be changing that could alleviate this issue.
There are also a number of reports that say removing 4 or 8 GB to leave 12GB or 8GB configs alleviates this issue as well. Do machines with smaller RAM configs exchange data in different size blocks?
I hope this all makes sense. Any info would be appreciated.
Scott

Not a standard shutdown or kernel panic, but an instant off to black screen.
That means that you have a hardware problem, probably in the RAM, but possibly in the motherboard. (having inadequate power supply to the RAM is a common problem that causes this - could be a bad capacitor, or a bad design)
An Apple technician should be able to put a scope on the power and signal pins of the RAM and see the problem happen (looking for a capacitive discharge pattern in the signals, dropping below signal threshold).
Changing the tile and cache size just changes the RAM access pattern slightly, but doesn't affect GPU usage much.
Yes, Photoshop moves a lot of data in and out of RAM with highly optimized code - which tends to expose problems with the hardware sooner than other applications.

M58p with 16gb of RAM

I own an M58p 6209-D71 and want to upgrade to 16gb of RAM.
The latest BIOS allows 4gb sticks and according to Intel, regarding the Q45 chipset, the mainboard allows up to 16gb of RAM on DR2@800Mhz (and up to 8gb on DDR3@1066),
Will the 16 option be possible?
Thanks in advance

Check out both the Kingston and Crucial memory websites for your specific model for what is possible for memory upgrades.
Both companies have a 100% guarantee (and lifetime warranty) for system model specific memory to be compatible with that system and it's factory memory.

AEBS 802.11n - what speed are you seeing ?

I consistently get around 4.5 MB/s syncing from Mac to Apple TV over wireless, using AEBS 802.11n (5 GHz) network.
Is this normal experience for other users ? Seems slow to me.
What would be "normal" for an 802.11n network ?
Baron.

Well it all depends on your setup and where the bottlenecks are. Having the tape drives attached directly to the EMC is obviously faster than having it backup over the network to another media server. It also depends how fast the EMC is itself at serving the data. Then there is the type of data you are backing up, lots of small files will take longer to backup than few large files (with any backup tool).
I have my tape drives fibre attached and the EMC therefore backs up to its attached drives via that.
Personally I am seeing around 35MB/s, but in lab tests we've seen much higher than that. Our EMC is quite old and that is to LTO-2 tape drives.

What protection do you use with VG224s?

We have many VG224s in production. Nearby lightning strikes kill ports on the VG224.
The cabling has protection on it - from the old Western Electric 701 PBX. However, that switch delivers 52 volts at 39 milliamps, and the Cisco VG224 is much lower.
The protection on the cable plant was designed for the Western Electric switch.
What is the best practice? When changing out PBXs for VGs, do we have to change out the protection, and if so, what is recommended?

Hello,
The VG224 is designed for on premises applications which is generally
for internal building use. If you are having issues with lightning strikes
blowing up the interfaces, then it appears that you are using the VG224 as an Off
Premises Extension with long/exposed cable runs which are susceptible to
picking up RFI and EMI. The VG224 was not designed to be used for OPX use and
we would not be recommending it in environments where cable runs are exposed to
lightning even with external protection.
Normally you would use an external line driver/isolator to drive the long
distances and provide isolation/protection. These are often called Long Loop
Adapters. Here is an example -
http://www.telcom-data.com/products/VIK-LLA-1.aspx
Our newer FXS modules support an "OPX lite' mode which drives longer distances
and has better protection -

Hope that helps!
