Initial size (MB) and maximum (MB) size should I use to add more RAM to my memory?

I followed the instructions on a video on how to add more RAM to your computer without taking it apart.

I followed all the steps up until I came to the part in the dialog 'virtual memory '.  Where it says, 'custom size' you have to put the ' initial size (MB) and the ' size maximum (MB).  How do I know what size to put in this area?

I looked up my information on my computer:

Windows Vista Edition Home Premium

Memory: 1.00 GB

System type: 32-bit

Now, while I was following instructions to add more RAM.

my computer displays this information:

in the performance option dialog box:

In the tab advanced under virtual memory, it is said:

"page for all readers file size: MB."

In the virtual memory dialog box:

for the C: drive:

There's the initial size (MB) - white

and (MB) maximum size - White

What should I do in this case?  What would be the initial size and maximum size?

Hello Palette,

You talk about 'virtual' non-physical memory. There is a difference.

UPN based on the amount of RAM 'physical' you have in your machine the ' virtual RAM should be of approximately 1.5 hour of Aries. You have currently 1 GB of physical RAM Windows allocates already 1.5 GB RAM virtual and, frankly, it is better to let Windows manage the virtual memory file.

If you want to improve then install the physical RAM more. Your guide to computer manufacturers will tell you to what maximum physical RAM, you can install and what type it is. I admit that I have changed the physical RAM to many times so know what I'm doing, but, frankly, it's less of a hassle to change the physical RAM which play with virtual RAM.

RAM memory modules simply slide in and are cut in place. Change the RAM in a desktop computer is easier than a cell phone, but you will get much better results increase the physical RAM that you would changing virtual RAM.

Of course, this is assuming that you need in the first place of the increased RAM. I recently increased my physical RAM of 4 GB to 8 GB and hardly noticed any difference.

  • SL500 and I want to add more RAM

    Howdy.

    I have a new Thinkpad SL500, such as here: http://www.hemini.com/products/product_details.aspx?prodid=425737&cp=1&sc=1&sct=

    It has an Intel Core 2 Duo (T6670) 2.2 GHz processor and 2048 MB of RAM.

    I want to add more RAM to make it even more effective that I use a lot of programs, sometimes at the same time.

    I wish it have 4 GB, and what I understand is the maximum that it is supposed to be able to handle.

    Then what should I do? I buy a 4 GB of RAM and remove the 2 GB that I have now and install the 4 GB one?

    Or should I leave the 2 GB RAM inside and just buy a 2 GB of RAM and add together inside?

    In addition, the brand has a role? Wouldn't be brand of Lenovo? What other groups are good for RAM?

    They are all the other things I have to consider buying RAM. ?

    Thank you very much.

    If you use 32 bit os I works perfectly with 4 GB but system uses 3 GB. Add the next module that means you probably have 2 GB module inserted. You can simply put another beside it mounted origin. Check with everest, aida, cpu - z or any other things how many modules is placed on your motherboard and you have free banks.

    Because the image is 1000 x 364, it will extend not to a larger size unless you give the instruction to do so.

    The best way is to assign the image to a width of 100% and make sure the extra size has not negatively affected the quality of the image.

  • What is the difference between POS and VSC? Which should I use?

    Hello

    Turns out we have a multitude of backup running for our virtual machine environment. We lack vCenter 6.0, 6.1 VDP, VSC 6.2P1, SnapManager for SQL and SnapMirror jobs put in place in OnCommand 3.1.2.

    I go crazy trying to pierce the need to have all these products running of backups and snapmirroring data. Bottom line, our SnapMirrors for one or two Volumes take f o r e v e r... And that impacts my tests of SRM (when you use the replication of data).

    I'm trying to clean up, he perfected down, consolidation, re-scheduling and friction on all these solutions. And in the middle of my panic, I thought that "these all do essentially the same thing? Taking snapshots and SnapMirroring data? »

    So, my question to the community is, what is the difference between these solutions, or are they all essentially do the same thing? They confront each other, vying for the band width and stumbling on them to achieve the same thing? Right now my plan is to suspend all work of everything except VSC and SnapManager for SQL and do all this from VSC. This means suspend jobs in NetApp services.

    I'm not the admin for POS, it is my co-worker, so he who installed independently of my work. Is it still necessary?

    What brought me to all of this, besides the failure of MRS to transfer data (SnapMirror on request within a reasonable time) was noting the deltas for our work of snapshot is always huge at certain times of the day. For example, our biggest pork of data has a light snapshot at midnight, and he is constantly 71GB. This leads me to believe that this is a job, because it is predictable. The net effect is SnapMirror jobs take days, latency are several days and transfers has never really stop.

    We plan to upgrade our pipe between our protected Site (HQ) and our DR Site (branch) of 50mbps at 100 Mbps. We have 100 out of our headquarters and 50 in our satellite TV right now, so we want to both be 100. Maybe that would solve the issue, but I still would be pretty effective.

    If you need more information, let me know and I will fill you, or less make up something so I look like I know what I'm talking about.

    TIA!

    Steve

    The reason why you do SnapMirror replication is DR. It is not a backup solution. If you stop all your SnapMirrors in OnCommand Unified Manager and your storage array, the production goes down, you no longer have a DR.

    What does VSC is, it creates snapshots of your NetApp volumes, you can use for short term backup/recovery. The snapshots are not a real backup solution, however. If someone deletes a volume on the NetApp snapshots of this volume will not save you because they no longer exist. But they are still useful in many scenarios, such as Previous Versions of Microsoft CIFS options.

    SnapManager aims to make consistent snapshots of demand for software such as MS SQL in your case. Instant database do not give you this ability, as they do not trigger the VSS suspension. More SnapManager for SQL gives you point in the ability to recover in time for your databases to SQL transaction logs, which provide none of the solutions above. However, as SnapManager creates snapshots, you must make sure that you have dedicated LUN for you SQL VM, otherwise you will be taking snapshots of the same volumes twice.

    And now VDP makes backups of your environment. It supports long-term retention, as snapshots in general are not kept for more than one week or one month. Make sure that the data are stored on a separate volume from where are your virtual machines. Or ideally to a destination that is external to your storage group.

    Hope that clears things up a bit. The result is, what you have is perfectly fine.

  • Possible to add more RAM, maximum allowed on HP - Compaq Presario SR5233WM?

    HP-Compaq Presario SR 5233WM PC, Windows Vista Edition Home Premium, drive HARD 250, 2.8 ghz and 2 GB of RAM now.   (from 2007ish)

    The specification of State HP 2 GB document.  I've read elsewhere in their manual maybe says 4 GB, but I do not.

    I checked the BIOS page and it shows only 2 slots for the Rams.

    And ran scan from Crucial.com showing 2 GB as max.

    Is it possible to add above stated max 2 GB?  This amount feels slow for this type of PC.  Impossible to find anywhere, any information on the website about it.

    Is there a device that can fix somehow, that would take more memory?

    Thank you very much.

    HP, welcome to the forum.

    No, the motherboard is capable of supporting the 2 GB of memory. There is no way to add any device which will add memory, either.

  • Adding RAM to an HP Z800 - how many slots should I use?

    I'm about to add more RAM to an HP Z800. The computer has 12 memory slots. Today, I have 12 x 2 GB RAM modules, IE 24 GB of RAM. The processors are 2 x Intel X 5670 (processor-core/6). I have the BIOS version 3.21.

    I want to upgrade to 48GB of RAM and wonder if I should buy 6 @ 8 GB memory strips or fill all 12 slots with 4 GB modules. Both options give me 48GB of RAM. So the question is if I lose any performance using only 6 of the 12 sites of memory and if so about how much? What is the pros and cons with the help of 12 locations compared to the use of only 6 sites while leaving 6 unused when fill a system with the same amount of RAM?

    Intend to purchase Kingston memory, 2 x KTH-PL313K3 / 24G or 4 x KTH-PL313SK3 / 12G.

    Any useful response is appreciated!

    / Roger

    Roger,

    Because the price is not the issue here, they are substantially the same, I would look in the documentation for the HP. Should I use mode memory channel single, double or triple with 6 or 12 slots populated? With 12 slots, you are sure to use the memory in triple mode, with 6 I don't know, but with only 6 slots populated, you have opportunities for expansion in the future.

    There is a definite advantage in the use of 48 more than 24 GB, but is it wise to invest in this memory with your specific mobo and CPU, or wait for the SB-E as an alternative with 32/64 GB of memory, although at much higher prices but with OC-ability, you must decide which.

    Yes, you can do it. The minimum must be large enough to contain an image of the core. If the maximum is too small, you will get the unpleasant results.

  • Customization of file exchange: what is the initial and maximum size recommended?

    Hi everyone and hurt.


    After response of harm to my question on how to install diskettes, evil said:


    "allocation of disk: is a three step process, first of all, you set the boot order in the BIOS, then you format the windows disks and assign drive letters, then again Windows you set up for the swap file." Then the allocation of media preview cache, project etc. is made in preferences, and setting up a PR project."


    and I have a question about the pagefile.


    First of all, let me tell you describe my new machine, there a configuration to 4 disks, no RAID, 16 GB RAM, with OCZ Vertex3 for programs and the OS, which I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit on this disc, Web Premium CS5, and Acrobat 9 Pro. In the BIOS, I did drive OCZ (OS), be the priority in the boot order.

    Later, after checking the system is functioning, I'll upgrade to Classic Collection CS5.5, so at this point, I named my 3 expansion packs to this title.


    WDC WD 2002FAEX-007BA0 - "Media Projects (D).
    WDC WD 1002FAEX-00Y9A0 - "Swap file, media Cache (E)"
    WDC WD 1002FAEX-00Y9A0 - 'previews, Exports (F).

    Then, because now they are simply names I gave on different drives, and I'm trying to change the paging file, switching happens in the disc of the operating system, in order to arrive in the disk that will be designated for media Cache (by the Prime Minister, subsequently).

    Thus, in the performance of Windows Options pane, I went to the Advanced tab, and under virtual memory, I hit 'change', uncheck automatically manage file size exchange for all readers, select drive E, which is the drive that is having the pagefile to happen there.

    And the question, assuming that I'm supposed to select custom, size can harm you, or / and others, please recommend the initial and maximum size?

    Alternatively, I have to select "system managed size"?

    Thanks :)

    Minimum,.

    Where you put the pagefile just does that much of difference, when you have 16 GB (as you do) and 24 GB still less so (as the user in the other thread).

    If I had your material, I put on E: and make static at 16 GB min and max 16GB (bad suggests same size).

    I don't spend more time reading or to dwell on "static pagefile" However unless you want to purely for fun.

    When you have enough RAM that your applications require no more you have, Windows must either ask for a large part of this file. Ten years when the RAM chips were much smaller and the cost per GB was more expensive that now, details of page file were indeed more important than they are today.

  • Font size minimum and maximum in Blackberry

    For all developers,.

    I want to create a choice field of object that contain any size to set the font...

    I wonder what is the minimum and maximum value for the font size...

    Maybe in Ui.UNITS_pt or Ui.Unit_px

    Thanks for the responses... ^^

    I have not seen these figures.

    I have never tested the minimum, but the maximum I've tested that works is 60 pixels.  I suggest you try to confirm.

    I would actually test this on a variety of devices, I suspect that there are differences in the formats supported according to the resolution of the screen.
