Will 32GB RAM have noticeable benefit compared to 16GB?

Will 32GB RAM have noticeable benefit compared to 16GB? Reason I'm asking is that I've just built a new PC: 3770K, 32GB RAM, SSD for OS and programs, SSD for scratch, Caviar Black for storage, etc but unfortunately Windows 7 Home Premium only allows 16GB RAM! I have Windows 8 Pro which I could install giving me access to full 32GB but only really want to do this if 32GB will offer tangible benefit to Photoshop.
Would love to hear from those that actually have upgraded from 16GB to 32GB. Thx!

Hi Noel,
I usually have quite a few windows open. At the moment (which is probably fairly typical) I have Lightroom, Photoshop, 10 tabs in Firefox, Outlook and Mediamonkey (mp3 player). One of the little things I like about Windows 8 in a dual monitor setup is that the task bar on both monitors display open apps and those pinned there. With Windows 7 only the main monitor got them. Also the new start window (which started life as 'metro') only displays on one monitor so the other monitor still shows apps/desktop.
Overall, I would say it is a better user experience, performance seems very good and start up time is improved. Just another example of the difference betweem W7 and W8: I have a Logitec surround system that used to be a real pain everytime I did a fresh install of W7. I'd have to install drivers manually and then mess around with settings for quitte a while before it would work. It was a common complaint on the Logitech user forums. When I installed W8, the system worked flawlessly - I installed no drivers or did anything. I was amazed!
And yes, I have a GeForce (570) so can't comment on other CARDs. When I first installed W7 with the card I had to manually install the right graphics driver. With W8 it seemed to find them automaticaly and it booted straight up without a problem. I did however then proceed to get the latest drivers from Nvidea and do a manual driver install just in case.
And unless there is some technical reason preventing it, I bet Aero will return to W8 in an update - many people have commented on that.

T400 XP SP2: Will increasing RAM have an effect?

Hello...
I have a T400 running XP SP2 (32 bit) with the 3 GB RAM that the machine came with. I am wondering how much RAM I can install and if adding RAM will have an effect on speed?
Thanks for any help....
Best,
Mavec

your 32 bit os would only allow you to use a maximum of 3 gigs of ram, if you need more ram then you would need to get the 64 bit os.
You should consider a SSD HDD instead.

I have the Mac OS 10.9.4 I am unable to read PDF's, so thought I would download the latest version of Adobe Reader. It will not install. Is it comparable with my Mac OS?

More information would be good.
What do you mean by "unable to read PDF's". How are you trying to read them and what exactly happens when you try?
so thought I would download the latest version of Adobe Reader. It will not install.
Again, what exactly is happening?
And yes, the latest version should be compatible with your OS.

Its just apple tend to give their devices the minimum RAM they can as a sort of a limiting factor, ive had my Ipod touch 4 for 3 years now and its virtually useless now because of the lack of RAM they put in them and i dont want to be paying over 600 pound for something thats not going to run good apps after two years because theres not enough RAM.
Well, any mobile computing device you buy is technically obsolete within a year or less of being released - for any company's products that's true. And with all of these all-solid state devices, you cannot update the RAM or the storage, so they basically remain useable and supported as long as they do - there really is nothing you can do to avoid that sort of situation. Smart phones and tablets are evovling at an almost frenetic pace, so nothing in that arena is going to be compatible with the operating systems and apps of newer future devices for very long.
You can maintain your own device's usability for longer by making sure to keep backups of apps & versions of apps that you know do run on your device so you will not be left behind if an App store update drops support for your device and removes the older app version.
And as far as iOS devices, I don't agree that Apple only installs the minimum RAM. The amount of RAM is going to be based on a number of factors - the capability of the mobile cpu being used, the footprint of iOS and the built in functions, the typical RAM usage of known iOS 3rd party apps, the size of battery(s) available to fit in the space available, the added cost of additional RAM and any number of additional parameters. In a device like a tablet or smart phone, every single component that goes into them involves some trade off or compromise.

ProLiant MicroServer Gen8 + 32GB RAM Bios Fix

Hi all. I have bought a ProLiant MicroServer Gen8 and wondering why the spec the ram is limited to 16GB RAM.
The chipset and CPU support up to 32GB RAM. The MicroServer has 2 DIMM Slots and 16GB RAM modul exsist.
I asked the memory company Intelligent Memory and asked if 32GB udimm will supported.
The Support answered me that the 16GB Ram limit is a restriction set by HP in the Bios.
Could you please remove this limitation / restriction from BIOS?

Any help please?
I'll really appreciate
Thanks

Will upgrading ram improve speed in Mac and windows (VMware fusion)?

I Am using VMware fusion for music production and that program requires a lot of workspace. I have a MacBook Pro 4gb ram and when I turn VMware on it goes to 2 gb ram in Mac and 2 gb ram in windows. My Mac speed is normal when VMware fusion is turned off but when I turn it on my Mac is very slow. Will upgrading ram improve speed in mac and also in windows (windows is also very slow)
Btw my english isn't very good

Adding RAM only makes it possible to run more programs concurrently. It doesn't speed up the computer nor make games run faster. What it can do is prevent the system from having to use disk-based VM when it runs out of RAM because you are trying to run too many applications concurrently or using applications that are extremely RAM hungry. It will improve the performance of applications that run mostly in RAM or when loading programs.
In your case it will most likely help. You should plan on at least 8 GBs or more, depending upon what your model supports.

Will the ram work?

Will this ram work in a imac(ambient light sensor)?
And also will this be a "matched pair" with the original 512 stick?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820141164
thanks!

CanadaRAM:
i You're better off shooting for a 1 Gb DIMM than trying for matched pairs with another 512 Mb. Besides the probablility that it won't match, the benefit of the extra 512 Mb RAM far outweighs the negligible real-world benefit of "matching" for 128-bit access.
The OP is probably better off just going to a "matched pair" of 1 GB DIMMs. That would both max out the capacity, and provide the 128-bit data path.
If he's willing to shop at Newegg and take the risks that something might not work, then there are matched 2 GB kits there at reasonable prices.

When I click Buy Book this appears our book appears to have default text that has not been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue? will the text I have sellected still be ok or will the book have missing text help Pleas?

I just spent 3 days creating a book [32 pages], with photos and text but when I click Buy Book In iPhoto this appears>
Our book appears to have default text that has not been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue?
My question is will the text I have sellected to use still be ok, am I safe to continue and buy or will the book have missing text ?
The book is for special birtday in 2 weeks time Please Help.G
<Email Edited by Host>

Yes, you're safe to continue. That means that there are text boxes that you did not put any text into and they contain the holding text which will not be printed. That text is shown in a light grayt and is in Latin. Normally you can just put a space in the text box to replace the holding text so as not to get that warning message.
Before ordering the book proof the book according to this Apple document: iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture. Check the pdf file for any missing text or photos and any warning indicators in the text boxes indicating that some of the text has exceeded the space allotted in the text box.
Keep the pdf file to compare with the printed copy when you reciive it.

Will More Ram stop the GB 08 painful slow down

Will More Ram stop GB 08 from running painful slow ?
I had 3GB of ram and GB on some songs GB would become painfully slow when it came to deleting notes, perhaps 30 seconds to execute the command.
The same with start and stop and many other functions like solo ect, I added two more GB of ram and it did not change this lack of processing problem.
In GB perfs I have Automatic set for all three catagories in the Advanced section
Any ideas?

It's true that more ram will make garageband run better, but I'm afraid that's not true in your case. I have a 2 year old macbook that had the ram upgraded 1 to 2Gigs and GB did run faster under heavy loads but I would say your processor and OS are maybe a little outdated if you're running GB 08. Then again maybe its something else but you have more than enough ram in my opinion.

Will more ram increase my performance?

I'm running Logic Pro 7.1.1 on a Powerbook G4 1.67 with 1 GB of ram installed running a fair amount of sample libraries and effects. When I check the Activity Monitor under system memory I get the following:
Wired: 108 MB
Active: 600 MB
Inactive: 300 MB
Free: 13 MB
Since I still have a decent amount of inactive memory, does that mean that more ram would not affect my performance? Or will more ram help out with system overloads?

i'm always careful in wholeheartedly saying 'yes' when people ask if more RAM will give more performance.. while of course it will in almost every case help things along, sometimes quite dramatically, I think it's important to be realistic about what it actually does.
it's easy to have the misconception that more RAM = more plug ins on some kinf of linear scale -- I had 2GB, so now with 4GB I should get something like double the performance, right? just as long as you're clear why this isn't the case, then that's the main thing.
I think since the days of CPU cards like protools TDM, the confusion is out there that adding RAM is like adding more DSP. so you just have to be careful that you understand what it's doing any why it can free your system up to do a little more. you can indeed see decent increases if your machine was struggling along before, given what you were trying to get it to do. or, it may just be a subtle thing.
IMO the best way to think of it is this. your machine has the capacity to perform up to a certain level. when you start getting it to do a lot of things, you will start creating a hindrance to it performing as fast as it can as soon as there are moments when it doesn't have enough RAM to do it. this amount will be different for everyone, dependant on your own use. so, the best thing you can do is remove the bottlenecks, and you'll best let your machine go as fast as it will go.

Will more RAM make photoshop run better

Hey everybody
I am thinking of upgrading to 2GB of RAM, i dont really no how this will help my computer, but if it does, will it make Photoshop run nice and smooth, or does RAM have nothing to do with that.
Thanks everybody

More Ram will make everything run better including Photoshop. I run CS3 on my MacBook and it works great. As cheap as Ram is I would suggest you get as much as you can afford.

Will this RAM work in MBP 15inch

Will this ram fit our 15 MBP bc this is another great deal
http://www.frys.com/product/5468099

I tried using the memory finder on the Frys' site and the link to the Apple page errors out. Do you really want RAM from someone who can't keep an Apple RAM link working? I buy a lot of stuff from Fry's retail store but not RAM. Even in-store, they seldom have proper Mac memory charts.
Like SIG says, post more details about your machine to get better advice on finding the right RAM. The easiest way is to do "About this Mac..." and then click "More Info..." in the resulting window. You'll get the System Profiler screen; copy the info on the first screen and paste everything except your machine's serial number into a response. For example, doing that with my MBP gives this info:
Hardware Overview:
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro3,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.2 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 4 MB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 800 MHz
Boot ROM Version: MBP31.0070.B05
SMC Version: 1.16f10
Serial Number: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Someone can look at this and tell exactly which model you have and what RAM it takes.
