4 GB of RAM for XP update

I am running XP 32-bit version. Currently, I have 2 GB of RAM but is looking to increase to 4 GB (mother Board will support). I read that a 32 bit OS will not support 4 GB of RAM or more. Is this true?

. Yes.

When you get 4 + GB of system memory, you will see probably sitting 'available' to between 3.25 and 3.85 GB.

Did you see yourself using the 2 GB of memory sometimes?  If this is not the case-even if it's only a little money--you can waste you money is extra memory.  If you do not use beyond 2 GB in Windows XP (rarely have I seen regular users this)-so you don't win anything with more than 2 GB of memory in the system.

    I have a MBP of 2009 end. I updated the material to 8 GB of ram with an SSD of 240gig. I want to run the new OSX, but is not on the list approved for the update. Anyone know why?

    It is a decision that was made by Apple.  El Capitan is the newest OSX that will support a 2009 MBP.

    This is not uncommon.  My 2006 MBP came with Tiger, but is limited to OSX Snow Leopard.

    Old hardware ends up by becoming obsolete with newer technology.

  • Maximum RAM for old computer with operating system updated

    I have old a laptop Compaq Presario C700 initially provided with 1 GB of RAM and Windows Vista.  This computer has since been updated for Windows 7 32-bit and upgrade to 2 GB of RAM.  I checked Crucial site and he informed me that the maximum RAM for this computer is the 2 GB that I am currently.  Despite this, I read the posts of people successfully 3 to 4GB of RAM installed and still having their computer function properly.  I also read that the maximum RAM that can run on a Windows 7 32-bit system is 4 GB.

    Since I now have Windows 7, I will be able to further improve my computer to a 4 GB of RAM or the hardware of the laptop itself prevents me to do?

    The manual for a Compaq Presario C700 says on page 2 supports up to 2 GB of RAM:
    http://www.HP.com/CTG/manual/c01301275.PDF

    With all computers, you have two factors limiting the amount of RAM memory that may be installed, or the motherboard, and the version of Windows installed. In your case, it is the motherboard that prevent you from adding more RAM.

  • updated 32-bit to 64-bit vista if I can use the extra ram for FSX. but many download problems.

    Hello

    I'm a nut FSX but have very IT limited knowledge. I wanted to achieve the best result for FSX (this 2 me not a game cos I can afford is more to fly the flat light where I 300hours and noticed a true likeness in fsx to plans I stole) so I bought the new PC i7/920 call t0 3.6 ghz. NVIDIA gtx285. 6 GB/ram/166 corsair.and installs 3 x monitor @22 inch with TrackIR 5.I thought I was going to enter Heaven FSX. However majority or all of the FSX CD I my system 32 bits do not appear in the installation of 100%. I appreciate the new way of loading FSX in 64-bit is different from 32-bit, etc.. My main complaint is I lose my GPS function on mission downloads and it's not good. I understand there is a way to increase the use of the ram for 32-bit (works 100%) where there has never been a problem, but seems very complicated. I currently use the resolution of 1980 but 3 screen in place will be allowed to 1680 etc.. HOW can I REACH 100% DOWNLOAD WITH 64 BIT as I can with 32 bits, which is limited to 3 GB of ram. Any FSX readers in addition to my download problems, what I need to have an incredible fast pc including 4 times cheaper than my cp very dear son. FSX is super super smooth with cadence to the max

    Hey booleyz,

    Vista 64 bit is compatible with the game and you should get all the functions. When you download missions and if missing the GPS function, imply that there are no required files on the PC for the game. I suggest that you uninstall and reinstall the game once and see if it works.

    You can also try to reduce the graphic details in the game Options.

    Here is a link I found that contains information about this:

  • Extra RAM for Satellite L70-B-14Z

    Hello
    I cannot find anywhere how to adapt the increase ram for my new Satellite L70-B-14z, am I to guess that this model should be returned to the Toshiba authorized service center?

    We can just confirm that this model be OK to win 10 updated.

    I'll take delivery of this unit this week.

    Any help and advice will be great

    Tony

    According to specification for laptop, your laptop can be upgraded up to 16 GB. Unfortunately your laptop isn't the cover of RAM in the bottom corner so the whole bottom cover needs to be removed and it must be done by the authorized service provider.

    What about Win10? Win 10 support is not officially started, and now Toshiba offers no additional drivers for the upgrade. Anyway, you can download and install Win10 and test your machine, how it works.

    Before doing this, create a recovery (DVD or USB) media. This recovery media, you can use if you want to install the original version of Windows that you have with your machine and that he put your laptop to factory settings.

  • Good Ram for my Acer?

    Hey guys I just wanted to make sure if it's the right ram for my acer aspire E11 2.16 ghz laptop 11.6.

    Then, I upgraded the ram to the Kingston 4 GB, but when I go to properties on my computer, it says now 4, 00GB but I noticed it says still 1.88 GB usable, am I missing something?   Also when I go to MSconfig and go to the option memory max I can now move the numbers up to 4096 instead of 2096 which was before with the 2 GB, so after changing this number to 4096 now that I have 4 GB, it asks me to restart so I do, when I check again on this subject , the number for some reason any is on 0.  What is going on?

    Update: nevermind, I thought about it.

  • 32 GB or 64 GB of RAM for After Effects CC 2014?

    -All right, let's do this:

    1. System Specs:
    2. Card mother Asus X 99 Deluxe Usb 3.1
    3. 32 GB DDR4 RAM Corsair
    4. Intel i7 5960 x @ 3.0 GHZ CPU
    5. 2 x EVGA NVIDIA GTX 970 s
    6. Samsung 256 GB 850 Pro (boot drive)
    7. 1 TB Samsung 850 Pro (Cache, Source footage, rendering output, etc. By car)
    8. Seagate 2 TB HDD (backup drive)
    9. Thermaltake 1000W PSU gold
    10. Corsair H105 cooler of liquid

    So, I do create After Effects compositions really intensive (usually from 10 to 20 layers by composition) and to make use of almost all the effects, there (as the displacement of pixels, motion blur, etc.) for many of my compositions.  32GB has worked pretty well, but I recently had a problem where the computer recognizes only 8 GB of RAM; in view of this, I noticed the huge difference in performance after effects CC 2014 between 8 and 32 GB (8GB off multiprocessing, for example).  This makes me wonder... saw how intense my compositions are, 64 GB would create a noticeable difference?  I have the ability to be upgraded to 64 GB right now (optionally) for free by "scheming and business."  What types of performance gains I could expect from 32 GB to 64 GB DDR4 DDR4?

    The performance gain would be very important for After Effects. Go ahead!

    Premiere Pro (this forum) isn't really helped a lot when the RAM is updated past 32 GB, but After Effects uses RAM for previews and may even beg for more than 64 GB on systems either.

  • What is the max RAM I should update?

    Hello

    My system is a 27 "iMac i5 2.8 GHz with 4 GB of DDR3 RAM. Currently, I am now running Snow Leopard OS. My system has 1 CPU and 4 cores.

    If I had to use After Effects CS5, what is the maximum amount of RAM I should update?

    Someone told me that the max my system can use is 4 GB of RAM (which means no point me upgrading the RAM) because I have only 1 processor 4 cores. Is this correct? Otherwise, what is the max RAM I should update?

    Thank you very much, really appreciate a good answer.

    See you soon

    Mylenium wrote that told you about your system isn't true that your system is 64-bit and 64-bit will take as much RAM you can give him and after effects CS 5 can enjoy more RAM and works better with more RAM.

    Now a graphics card has in general not as much effect in improving the performance of EI, but with more VRam graphics will also help with open gl features.

    It is also an option your iMac takes 16 GB of RAM so your answer is 16GB is what you need and when they update the RAM and make it backwards compatible which will help as well. So keep an eye on the future. Because 16 GB cards can now get so when they do them for theMac they might mac them backward compatible.

  • I can't get rid of thanks for the update of firefox or modules at startup

    Whenever I run Firefox, in addition to my home page, I get "Thanks for the update" pages of Mozilla, colorful tabs, No Script and Undo Closed Tabs Button. I tried all the usual methods to get rid of them (reset the home page, and al.) and nothing does not remove the Add-ons (and it does not work for the Mozilla page!). It is not only annoying, but it significantly slows down Firefox the.

    I like Firefox and use since it began and I don't want to stop now, but this inability to control it is frustrating and, frankly, disappointing. I hope that the tendency to become more like other browsers does not speed; for many users, the fact that Firefox was not like the others is what has him us in the first place.

    I'd appreciate any help to solve my dilemma.

    Hello, this can happen when firefox is not able to correctly save preferences in the profile folder. Please try this: click on the menu button, then click on Help (?) > troubleshooting information > profile folder - 'show the file'. then a new window will open. in this search on a file named user.js window (it can be used to overwrite your custom settings). where it is present, delete or rename this file and then restart firefox.

    For more information and other steps, please also see: How to fix preferences that will not save

  • For the last week or three Firefox updated two or three times for each update and sometimes for no apparent reason...

    For the last week or three Firefox updates two or three times for each update. Sometimes it refreshes without obvious reason. For example, I'll be in the middle of typing in the message forum block & it refreshes. Or by filling out an online form. Or simply viewing a page.

    You can check for problems caused by an extension that is not working properly.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode without failure.
