What Speed Memory for a 3.06 Ghz 24" iMac?  800 Mhz or 1.066 Ghz?

What speed memory should I have in my iMac 24" 3.06 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo?
It seems to have come with 800 Mhz memory, but the Bus Speed is 1.07 Ghz.
Shouldn't it be able to use 1.066 Ghz memory??? Or is it not really up to 1.07 Ghz? The serial number is: QP8390YD0KM.
Thanks, Jim.

Some of the previous iMac models had bus speeds that did not match the RAM speed, by design.
You should use this OWC web store page.

Just click on your specific iMac model and read the specs on one of the compatible RAM modules.
You can also find your iMac model here

  • What speed media for DVR-103

    I searched here and Ken Tidwell's site but couldn't find an answer so here goes:
    I've upgraded the firmware so media higher than 2x will not damage my superdrive, but, to date, all of my burns have been with 2x media and I haven't had a coaster in the last 3 years.
    I've read that if I use any media higher than 2x, my superdrive will burn at 1x. I guess this shouldn't be a problem since I usually start a burn at bedtime and always have a finished DVD in the morning.
    Since 2x media is no longer readily available, does it matter if I buy 4x, 8x or 16x OR should I search the web to buy 2x?

    I've always bought 4x, the only ones I've seen, but I notice DVD player insists on burning at 1x. I always use Hurz pfurz so the burning time is not an issue except a couple of discs with a few errors have led me to the conclusion that keeping Entourage running while burning (I switch off everything and reboot with iDVD) causes some problems in the interrupt handling routines at the 15 minute mail search.
    I've upgraded the firmware so media higher than 2x will not damage my superdrive
    I was not aware this was an issue. Can you give a reference as I am worried now.

  • What Mac specs would you recommend for a CS major (GHz, Flash Memory, etc)?

    So, I'm starting college in the fall as a computer science major. I have decided to choose a Macbook Pro with Retina Display as my weapon of choice. The only remaining questions I have before I order pertain specifically to GHz and Flash Memory. I saw that for about $250, you could upgrade your processor from 2.7 GHz to 2.8 GHz, and for $400 extra you could upgrade your flash memory. To be honest, and this is an embarrassing confession for a CS student to make, but I really have no clue what either of those things do to the computer, and what impact they have. Before I ask you what you'd recommend, let me give a little more information.
    Because I'm a CS major, the kind of work I would most likely be using the computer for involves creating iPhone apps, building websites, and building desktop apps using Cocoa or Qt. Now, I'm not sure how big these project files usually are on Macs, but I have done some programming before on Windows and know that they do have the ability to get rather large. My previous programming environments have included a Windows 7 Lenovo desktop PC with 1 TB of internal memory, and a Dell laptop running Linux Ubuntu with 2GB of internal memory and a  2.26 Intel Core Duo processor (runs much slower..).
    So, I guess my ultimate question is, is the extra $250 or $400 really worth it? Would I be able to get by without spending all the extra cash?
    Oh, and as for screen resolution, I was thinking 15 inch, due to the fact that this will most likely be my primary computer at college. Is that a good call as well?

    The CPU upgrade is only worth it for applications where the CPU is specifically the bottleneck. These days, not many are. The amount of RAM, the GPU, and the speed of storage often play into overall application speed.
    You might want to check with upperclassmen in your program, though, because it is possible that some programming environments might benefit from it when compiling or something.
    But for most people, $250 for another 0.1 GHz is a bad deal. On the 15-inch it is paying 9% more to boost CPU by just 4%.
    If the storage starts at 512MB, that is a lot of space for most people. The $400 is for SSD storage which is expensive (compared to traditional spinning hard disks) so you'd better need it. The two questions to ask yourself are, do you need to carry everything around all the time, or can you keep some on an external drive? Because $400 would buy you a 4TB external drive with money left over. The second question is does that storage need to be SSD fast? If yes, then maybe the upgrade is good. If no, then you'd paying a lot more for much faster storage than you need.

    15 inch is a screen size, not a screen resolution. One way to think about it is, do you expect to be using one screen-filling window at a time, or seeing lots of app windows at a time? The 13-inch is a better size for single window work, but the 15-inch is better for spreading out your workspace with multiple windows and panels.

  • What kind of memory for my Macbook Pro Laptop

    Hello:
    I am thinking of getting more memory for my laptop.
    I am unsure on what brand to buy, so I appreciate any input you might have. I have 2 memory slots that have 2gb each. How much can I put in each slot? 4gb, 8gb?
    What kind of prices for the memory?
    Here are the specs on my laptop.
    MacBook Pro
    13-inch, Early 2011
    Processor  2.3 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory  4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
    Thank you!

    You can put an 8GB module in each slot, giving you a total of 16GB. But that's the maximum.
    Good sources of RAM for your model (which use 204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMMs) are Crucial, OWC and Corsair. Other people may recommend other brands, but I would get one of the three (and I only include Corsair because that's what I'm using).
    Good luck,

  • For better speed, will a MacPro 2.8 ghz or airbook flash drive and 1.8 ghz?

    For better speed, will a MacPro 2.8 ghz or airbook flash drive and 1.8 ghz?

    It's going to depend on what you are doing with the machine.  If what you are doing is processor intensive, then higher clock speed would give more speed.  Assuming though, that the higher speed processor machine is going to have a spindle drive, then if the issue is one that is drive dependent (and a lot of things are), then the MBA will generally be faster.
    If you have a machine you are replacing, I'd suggest looking at whether the applications you are now using tend to absorb lots of processor time (are you hitting 100% CPU usage regularly) or spend most of the time excercising your hard drive (drive activity is constant).  If the former, the Pro is likely the better option, while if the latter the MBA would likely do better.
    Of course, if price is no object just get a Pro level machine with an SSD...

  • What is the cheapest way to upgrade memory for Macbook Pro

    I want to upgrade my memory to 8GB in my MacBook Pro.

    It was Kingston memory (KVR1333D3SO/4G; the newer batches are the same part number but are marked by "4GR" following the slash in the number).  I did not buy a paired kit as it was not in stock; this may have contributed to the performance drop.
    The metric in question was Xbench's Memory Test, specifically the System > Allocate number.  Before the upgrade, I routinely benchmarked between 2.5 and 2.9 Malloc/sec (or a score of 750-800).  After the Kingston memory upgrade, I never saw figures above 1.6 Malloc/sec (or a score of 420-450); roughly half of what I had seen prior to upgrading.
    Since installing my OWC memory (which came in a package of two sticks), the performance is generally identical to the OEM (Hynix) across the board.
    Hope that helps/clarifies my observations.
    That helps a lot. Thanks very much for clarifying that. Yes, Kingston Value RAM is definitely not the way to go, as it has not been tested for compatibility, nor designed for use in Macs. See my other posts in this thread.
    Kington's KTA line, OTOH, is tested for compatibility with Mac systems, comes in matched sets, and is very reliable.
    AFA Kingston RAM, bottom line for Mac users:
    KVR = bad
    KTA = good

    Hi, does your MacBook have Firewire, or just USB?
    FW is far faster if you have that.
    Avoid Bus powered ones.

  • What brand DVD+R do you recomend and what speed for PE11?

    I do not know why some brands like Memorex work with my PE11 and others like Sony do not.  I do not know what speed 8X the program can handle?  What are the pros and cons of using different speeds on results?

    Thanks for the follow up.
    As for
    What kind of disc can I record on today and then add to it tomorrow with some additional footage?
    You cannot do that with any burn to in Premiere Elements (any version).
    In Premiere Elements....
    1. The DVD-R allows for one burn to on the disc all at one time.
    2. The DVD-RW will allow you to use the disc again after a Premiere Elements burn to to it, but it will overwrite (erase) what was burned
    to the disc in the prior session. No add on.
    If you are in the Elements Organizer 11 and using one of its burn to data disc opportunities (See File Menu/"Copy/Move to Removalble Disc"), you could explore the multisession possibility by enabling the preference for multisession. (See Edit Menu/Preferences/Files and the option for "Enable Multisession Burning to CD/DVD.)
    I would suggest that you look into the Premiere Elements Project Archiver feature where the project file (project.prel) is saved with its source media. This might be a consideration for add on chances.

    A Google search reveals at least one disc manufacturer marketing a "Archival Grade Gold DVD-R" expected to last 100 years.
    But, I wonder what the technology would be like in 100 years and if a player will still exist to play back DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc.
    Please review and consider. If any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.

  • Is there any command/query/etc, which would allow to understand what database objects (for example tables) are consuming memory and how much of it?

    Is there any command/query/etc, which would allow to understand what database objects (for example tables) are consuming memory and how much of it?
    tried to use ttsize function, but it gives some senseless results – for example, for the biggest table, tokens, it produces following output (that this table is 90GB in size – what physically cannot be true):
    Command> call ttsize('tokens',null,null);
    < 90885669274.0000 >
    1 row found.

    Are you able to use the command line version of ttSize instead? This splits out how much space is being used by indexes (in the Temp section of the TT memory segment), which I think is being combined into one, whole figure in the procedure version of ttSize you're using. For example:
    ttSize -tbl ia my_ttdb
    Rows = 4
    Total in-line row bytes = 17524
    Total = 17524
    Command> create index i1 on ia(a);
    ttSize -tbl ia my_ttdb;
    Rows = 4
    Total in-line row bytes = 17524
    Indexes:
    Range index JSPALMER.I1 adds 5618 bytes
      Total index bytes = 5618
    Total = 23142
    Command> call ttsize ('ia',,);
    < 23142.0000000000 >
    1 row found.
    In 11.2.2 we added the procedure ttComputeTabSizes which populates system tables with detailed table size data, and was designed to be an alternative to ttSize. Unfortunately it still doesn't calculate index usage though, and it isn't in 11.2.1.

  • What is the available memory for user in iPad

    In iPad 3rd generation wifi model, what is the available memory for users?
    Capacity          Available Memory
    16 GB                      ?
    32 GB                      ?

    iOS should take about the same amount of storage on both, the difference is partly due to how a 'gigabyte' is defined e.g. on packaging it's 1 billion bytes, but on the device itself it uses the binary definition (2 to the power 30), and some storage may also be 'lost' by formatting : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2419

    N.B, My PC is a an Windows Xp, the latest

    Usually slowness after one upgrade requires disabling hardware acceleration, or a possible new regression (hopefully not).
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    * Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    * In the Firefox options window click the Advanced tab, then select "General".
    * In the settings list, you should find the Use hardware acceleration when available checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    * Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]

  • What is the largest flash memory for newton mp2000?

    Hi,
    just wondering what the largets flash memory for the Newton is?
    I have come across some websites which state that you can have up more than 4Gb+. Would this be seen by my Newton MP2000?
    cheers
    Tibs

    Hello! This is KnowledgeNavigator from NewtonSales.com (newton sales website). The largest amount of memory on the Newton 2000 and 2100 is actually several gigabytes! with the assistance of a driver written by the owner of Kallysis.com you can use standard ATA cards with your Newton and I have seen these in 1gb, 2gb, 4gb sizes. In terms of memory that was designed for the Apple Newton 2000 and Apple Newton 2100 wihtout the need for special drivers, you are looking at Flash Cards. I have in stock the 16mb, 20mb, and 32mb Flash cards at my website. With any larger memory card purchase I preload wifi, bluetooth, ethernet drivers as well as games, utilities, and other very useful programs onto the card before shipping. My website is a one-stop-shop for a 100% support solution for the Apple Newton. I have been an avid user of the platform for over 7 years now. If you have any questions please contact me.
