Computers - RAM

I recently sold my laptop on ebay... I'll take the drive hard as I understand that it is my documents

I have to get out of the RAM? This holds one of my documents/information?

Help, please... Thank you

Lol when you shut down the computer, everything on the RAM is lost anyway.  Nothing on your system except the hard disk contains documents or information.  You're perfectly safe to sell with the removed disk (and make sure that you remove ALL the hard drives, if you have more than one).

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

  • Amount of RAM displayed incorrect

    OK, so I installed 3 GB of RAM on my laptop.

    • 1 1 GB PC5300 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM memory EK
    • 1 2GB DDR2 PC6400 800 Mhz Samsung SDRAM

    For some reason, the 'System' page on the control panel displays only 2.75 GB of ram. However, I put my 256 MB graphic memory usage limit, which could explain it.

    What intrigues me most is the fact that the "CPUZ" program, which is a hardware system identifier, can detect only 2 GB of RAM. When I got 2 GB of RAM, it showed 1.87 GB.

    What is the problem with the computer? East - Windows XP SP3, CPUZ or the RAM itself?

    It is recommended never to mix different speeds of RAM.  You have to 667 Mhz and 800 Mhz rated RAM.  This can cause such problems.

    In addition, with laptop computers, RAM is also "shared" for the video card.

    Hello

    Windows ReadyBoost is designed only for systems that had 500MBs to 1 GB of physical RAM.

    The physical RAM more than you have, the less effective ReadyBoost.

    If you want to increase your physical RAM, use this Crucial Scanner to find the corresponding RAM to your system and the features of the RAM on your motherboard.

  • Maximum number of simultaneous filters

    Hello

    I discovered that when you reach 8 different filters on a worksheet, the option to add a new filter gets grayed out.

    Is it possible to increase this number?

    Thank you.

    Ooops... It looked better before.

    Found this: Re: filter limit or bug?

    There's a nice solution to the inside, whereas it is sad because of the capabilities of computers (RAM and processors), we cannot use more than 8 filters at the same time...

    No, it won't. The only way to increase your RAM is to add/change the chip memory RAM inside your computer.

    No, it is not possible to see an external storage medium as internal computer RAM.

  • New on Apple computers - Question on the use of the memory (RAM)

    Hello

    I recently bought a rMBP 13 "with 8 GB of RAM. This is only my third time (I started for the first time last night). Here is a screenshot I took of the memory usage after starting it on for the first time. My question is: is it normal to see that most of the memory is in use, even if I only have Safari (1 inactive tablet on the homepage of Google) and open the activity monitor? I'm afraid that this is rare and not have a lot of wrong answers online.

    Second question, if someone has knowledge: 8 GB of RAM is good enough to run software such as MATLAB, AutoCAD and SolidWorks? Or 16 GB would be better? I still have time to exchange the rMBP.

    ElCapitan is designed to use as much RAM as possible at all times for efficient operation.  She will move to a video buffer, operations of common files, etc. in the RAM and the y keep in case he should run again.  CBS will move embusked operations out of RAM if new operations is displayed.

    As for "enough RAM for your planned tasks", 8 GB might be enough, given the fast read/write of the SSD and the very fast moving data in the SWAP file on the SSD.  But if you have any doubt, you have 14 days to return without any doubt and re - buy a Go 156 system.

  • What is the maximum RAM for each location dimm can support for desktop computers Compaq Presario CQ3541L?

    I have a 32-bit ubuntu 12.04 OS installed on Compaq Presario CQ3541L desktop PC. Now, I want to update higher along 64-bit ubuntu 12.04 OS memory RAM. I want to know what is the maximum size of the main memory that each DIMM DDR3 slot can support. I need at least 8 GB of RAM since the apps I run will consume as much as 6.5 GB and probably more.

    Thank you.

    Yes, that's the conclusion I came to.  You can always try to see what is actually happening.  I had a different motherboard (again a HP) which had similar limitations except his max was total 2 GB, and he saw 4 GB very well.   They make a slightly different version of this Board with 4 memory locations, instead of both yours has, then who knows until you experimant.

  • Exe Explorer file process uses all the computers memory RAM

    I googled this question in many different ways and read the post until my eyes crossed. Tried several different

    ideas, checks, analyses, etc.

    This is on a Dell inspirion 3847 running Windows 7 Pro Service pack 1

    a Intel pentium CPU [email protected] Ghz, 4 GB RAM, 1 TB HD (no graphics card or any other card in pci slot)

    a brother MFC7360 n printer connected to the USB port.

    and the HD: (drive C O/S: 855 GB free of GB 909), (recovery E Drive: 17.5 GB free of 47 gb)

    The extent of the installed software is minimal, (only notable is Office 10, digital meal)

    (Digital software dining room is for the POS system), this computer is not the main computer that is running the POS system

    This computer is just linked to the actual POS in bar. (I stop this program and does not affect the)

    problem or situation that we were conducting.)

    (I can give list if necessary other software that is installed).

    And the essentially the only files on the computer (in addition to operating systems, programs, etc.) are Office, "Word files,

    Excel files.

    And a few txt, rtf, pdf, files (very small amount).

    first just noticed recently what happens, but I'm not the primary user on the computer. I checked

    and it seems that no new software or program have been recently installed or changed.  I have a little

    understanding of what the process Explorer exe is and it functions. (NOT a PRO, not a total newbie,)

    If all goes well enough to find help, and not enough to totally screw up.)

    I'll be watching this thread several times per day until solved if need more information, I'll give you...

    Here are the details of the problem:

    random computer freezes, or runs very slowly or get "out of memory" message (during the attempt

    to open any random program) and when...

    I opened the the Task Manager and in "processes" tab, it shows that there is:

    2 examples of "Explorer"exe "running... it uses a small amount of RAM (approx. 10-15 mb)(with nothing)

    Open, other than the Task Manager). Another example of "Explorer"exe "uses (starts on the same amount of)

    RAM use, without having to open anything else) it will start using more and more RAM up to uses almost all

    the available 4 gigabytes of RAM. Also during this process it uses randomly between 0 and 99% of the CPU.

    The CPU usage seems to vary (couldn't see any stable model).  the amount of RAM used begins bass

    then goes very high and the rest standing for this purpose during a random time. (then sometimes descends

    on its own within 1-5 min.). (sometimes does not lower for awhile). More details needed let me

    know, I'll check all speeds or time it takes for the situation to occur, (if necessary)

    TASK MANAGER:

    I opened the location of two Explorer exe files (both take me C/Windows"... ». (same for both

    not a system 32 file, or any other subfolder, just to 'Windows '.

    The two exe process explore "Descriptions" are listed as Windows Explorer.

    I have "Complete the process" towards the 2nd exe explore (one with high memory usage), just that process and she stops to

    a short period of time (and all works well for the time), but even once, it reappears (no exact time frame on how long until)

    Returns), (can check again and again, if necessary), to see if time is right each time to restart the process.

    If I "End process" to the 1st exe explorer (one with normal memory usage), I lose my office. (which from what

    I understand what needs to happen).

    Also get the same results if the process of "End process Tree" for the 1st and 2nd explore exe.

    Checking "properties" of two everything seems the same info. On the 'details' tab shows all of Microsoft, not

    of course, what happens if an info is important. (any info where necessary, I get and publish as needed).

    I know more and different information is no "resource monitor". but was not sure what would happen if, any info of

    It has been necessary.  If necessary you will get what that is. (let me know this as necessary).

    I've scanned any computer with 3 different anti virus (found nothing) programs

    I ran spybot search & destroy found nothing that had to do with this issue and fix some other issues that we found.

    A little info in 'Folder Options' (the 'windows folders in a separate process to launch' is NOT checked.

    and all the options are defined for the default settings (I think) (not sure if this is important)

    like I said read several messages in various forums (on similar sounding problem)... Some say spoke with

    Microsoft technical support who say 'must be the virus', others say started after the recent "windows update" and others

    say the problem of virtual memory and others say he's changed banks 'office' or the 'thumbnails previews.

    These files, and the other says "shell extensions" are the problem. (many recommended (ShellEXView), to)

    Disable all non-microsoft extensions). I was not looking for it.  My problem does not appear to be any good

    program, type file running that is causing this. It seems to happen when the computer is idle (I realize there are always some)

    process background or system running) but it doesn't have to be all open programs.

    At this point, I am open to almost any idea or suggestion.  I will continue to monitor the post until resolved and will get a

    In addition to the information required (less the credit card or account info bosses banking info HA!) (HA!)

  • XPS 18-1820 AIO - upgrade of ram possible on refurbished computers? Dell chat said no.

    Hello

    I am interested in buying a refurbished XPS 1820 AIO on the outlet site. Each of them in the output are configured with 4 GB of ram. I would like to at least 8 GB. When I spoke with a representative of dell on the site, he told me that 4 GB is the maximum ram, it can take.

    I've read elsewhere that the 1820 can take up to 16 GB of ram. So what is true here? Is it misinformed, maybe Dell takes the extra slot on the refurb? Are they just say that because they don't want the people to open them?

    Thank you

    Yes, I just installed a Samsung EVO 850 512 GB in there, which is a double keyed SSD and it works correctly.

    My refurb unit also came with 8 GB of RAM, even if advertised with 4 which was a nice bonus...

    One thing I noticed is that USB dongle for the keyboard and the mouse was NOT installed inside and was just in the keyboard box.  I have it installed in internal inside the USB port so that both external ports are always available.

  • How you upgrade the RAM on Mac mini (end of 2014)

    The Support page says it is not accessible, but everything is assembled (without guarantee) just to write this post in Safari with open iTunes I am hitting 3.3 4.0 GB.

    I've always liked Apple since the first iPod came out, but I didn't know that their computers were also disposable.

    I guess I should know better when the price is only a little higher then the Apple TV, I went to buy, but it's the first Apple computer, I buy, and it's better than my Apple TV ver1 who died.

    So when I cut it open I find accommodation from the PIN and what chip will take the 1.4 GHz, 4 to 8 GB machine.

    I guess there is only one slot (pinout) and it is probably welded in.

    No, they were serious

    the RAM is welded in there. You can not remove it.

  • How can I update my processing power/RAM on my MacBook Pro 2013?

    Let me preface this by saying I know almost nothing about computers so please excuse my terminology.

    I have a screen Retina 13 '' MacBook Pro that I bought in 2014 (I think it was the 2013 model). At the time, I didn't need a lot of storage so I bought the less option (8 GB perhaps?). Recently, I changed into a main associated design and have been downloading a lot of different programs. With full download Adobe Creative Suite I have been using SketchUp, Rhino and AutoCAD to name a few.

    My projects often require me to work in Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Rhino at the same time but when I do so my computer is extremely slow and sometimes one or more programs unexpectedly closes.

    Given all this information, what are my options to improve the speed and reliability of my MacBook?

    Your options are limited. You cannot upgrade RAM or CPU. Theoretically, you could install more storage, but I don't think that's worth it. Given the software that depend on you, I sell the MBP and buy something bigger and faster (not necessarily a Mac).

  • Firefox consumes too much RAM, caused by js

    I have problems with Firefox consumes too much memory RAM. Many people are complaining about this, but I have done some additional research before posting here, using the about command: memory and I discovered that js-no-window and js-main-runtime are the cause.

    When I start an empty Firefox session I immediately an allowance of 260 MB of RAM. About 75-80% this is taken up by these two processes of js (javascript?).

    After opening about 10 tabs with different Web pages, the use of the RAM went up to about 750 MB. During the time that the tabs are open most of the extra of the MB are consumed by the window objects (40 MB per page, yet much seems to just a news with an article site...) but after their closing will not use of memory to the bottom and he transferred to the two already mentioned js process. This transfer to the js process is not always the case, it seems to happen if I open a lot of tabs, let's say 10 + maybe.

    I tried to disable Javascript using the SettingSanity plugin, but makes navigation difficult at home of course and the worst of all this does not solve the problem. Specified processes continue to use the same amount of RAM.

    I have this same problem on all my computers and laptops, so it can't be a coincidence. Is there anything I can do about it? It is being investigated? How a browser with 10 open web pages may need almost 800 MB of RAM?

    And please don't reply not to "install more RAM". The pc with the fact that I have more problems has 2 GB of physical RAM and I really don't think it is possible on a computer of this logon type 10 web pages. Do the same thing in Internet Explorer consumes less than half the amount of memory RAM.

    PS: I sent this request using IE because I could ' t access this page in Firefox. The button 'Ask the question' did not work...

    I have 2 GB Ram too and can open up to 20-30 tabs before slowing down. Maybe it could be an addon like Adblock more which can cause the memory leak.
