Is it useful to 512 MB of RAM to 2 GB - Equium L20

I Equium L20-198 that have Intel Celeron M 370 / 1 Mb L2 cache and 512 RAM. I was wondering is it worth to upgrade to 2 GB RAM to increase performance in 3D using programs such as Max and Auto CAD 3D with this Celeron processor?

This update is going to be effective in terms of operation of the system faster?

For upgrade of RAM is without any reasonable doubt, and with more RAM your laptop will work much better and faster. I use all the apps but with 2 GB of RAM, working with these applications will be much better. The tools everything you need for the operations of the 3D and calculation skills will run much faster than before.

    The other 64 serves as video ram and it's perfectly normal.  This isn't the reason why the computer is slow.  You have an old operating system, with very little ram, and I'm sure that you use a lot of app.

    Windows XP instead of Vista.

    I would like to install Windows XP on my computer and get rid of the Vista operating system.  Can I do this?  I only have 512 MB of Ram and 32-bit processor.

    Hello

    There are a few things that you would have to do to install XP instead of Vista:

    1. contact the manufacturer of your computer and see if the XP drivers are available for your computer model to make sure that XP has worked properly in this regard.

    2. If the XP Drivers are available, buy a XP disk operating system / license. Try local computer repair shops because Microsoft sells more than XP and online sale buy you pirated copies can cause. Be very careful.

    3 XP runs with 512 MB of RAM, although a little slow by today's standards.

    4. do a clean install of XP. Make sure that all your data is backed up as the hard will be cleaned of everything during the Installation of XP.

  • When trying to install Windows 7 error you need 512 MB of RAM

    I WANT TO INSTALL WINDOWS 7 IN MY WINDOWS XP LAPTOP AND WHEN I START THE INSTALLATION IT COMES UP WITH "YOU HAVE ONLY 212 MB OF RAM INSTALLATION NEEDES 512 MB OF RAM' THEN OUTPUTS IT HOW CAN I ERASE THE RAM PLEASE HELP"

    WHAT SHOULD I DO?

    Hear you disk space or memory?

    If its space of hard drive, then you will need to uninstall some programs, backup personal files to an external hard drive or blank DVDs and then perform a custom installation.

    Since you will have to do a custom Setup, I recommend that you only use Windows Easy Transfer to save your data, then boot from the WIndows 7 DVD and do a custom installation.

    The upgrade to Windows XP?

    Please read these instructions carefully and completely before you begin installing Windows 7: there are important steps that you must follow to upgrade your PC from Windows XP to Windows 7 in order to preserve your files and settings.

    Before you begin, you'll need to backup all your data to an external storage device, and you will need all the installation discs for the programs that you want to keep. Please make sure that you have an external hard drive (see details below).

     

    More detailed instructions are available at windows.microsoft.com/upgrade-windows-xp. Here are the basic steps.

    1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor (windows.microsoft.com/upgradeadvisor) to see if there are known issues that may affect the installation and the question of whether you should install the version of 32 or 64 bit Windows 7.

    2 back up your files and settings on an external hard drive using Windows Easy Transfer (windows.microsoft.com/windows-easy-transfer). If you do not have an external hard drive, you will not be able to use Windows Easy Transfer. Alternatively, you can copy the files you want to keep on a USB stick, CD or DVD.

    3. you will need to manually reinstall your programs, such as Microsoft Office, after I installed Windows 7. Gather the installation for your programs and all partner/license product key discs. You may be able to download programs from the Internet. For example, Windows Live Messenger can be installed from the download.live.com/messenger.

    4. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in your PC. When asked "which type of installation you want. Click on "Custom (advanced)."

    5. when Windows 7 is installed, use Windows Easy Transfer to restore your files and settings.

    If you are not comfortable Windows 7 installation, check with a local retail or the services of the PC company store to see if they offer upgrade services.

  • 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!)

    But seriously some help, thoughts, ideas or directions to another post with response, would be greatly appreciated.

  • SpeedGrade CC 2014.2 build 8.2x51 reading smoothing / jerky 4K with GPU R9 295 x 2 - it uses only 2 GB of RAM (8.1 Windows 64-bit), Mac OS - same problem

    Hello, guys

    I have following configuration:

    I7-5960 x 4.3 GHz

    32 GB DDR4 RAM

    ATI 295 x 2 8 GB (Gpusniffer.exe watch 3072 MB on each unit of Hawaii)

    Samsung XP941 Ultra M.2 (> 1000 Mb/s)

    Some 850 Pro SSD for H.264 4 k source

    Latest version of Speedgrade CC 16/02/2015 (DUAL MONITOR SETUP - 2560 x 1440 for Interface and 4096 x 2160 for previewing)

    I work with a lot of short 10-15 seconds 4 K 4096 x 2160 24 fps H.264 clips of Panasonic GH4. Import their first CC as some stabilization warp, cut them, save the project and opened in Speedgrade CC all are fantastic smooth in first CC.

    Speedgrade - a simple color - exhibition, some keyframes and simple scoring correction for certain substances. I use the GPU acceleration for sure have lots of 4096 x 2160 4K 24 fps. But it is not flexible and smooth after that a correction is applied. Everything is jerky and freezes the first seconds, when I press 'PLAY'. I used resources, the Manager monitor tasks (Winodws 8.1 64-bit) and Afterburner. And there's what I discovered:

    • Afterburner shows the use of mono-GPU (as we know it for playback only 1 GPU used) the same amount as in first. SpeedGrade CC use 2, 5 GB of VRAM. Also, if I use one zero effect - accelerating gpu, like "transform", for example, imported first, I get "not enough GPU resources" message in Speedgrade. Afterburner shows, CC Speedgrade tried to use more, and then Max 3GB available VRAM during that time. So I turn off these effects, before you open a project in Speedgrade.

    • CPU is low (15%) use, perhaps a little lower, then in the first CC

    • Disc - 3-10%, H.264 is weak on this subject

    • RAM! -is the problem. I have been authorized to use the 29 GB of RAM for Adobe apps. Speedgrade CC use no more then 2-3 GB according to the the Task Manager (for most 2 GB) and 8.1 Windows resource monitor 64-bit Pro. After I finished with the color correction, a project open in first DC, work with lumteri on smooth and! First CC use 9 to 10 GB of RAM to play the same music video in full resolution smoothly!


    I already reinstalled everything, including drivers for the GPU, 8.1 for Windows and Adobe CC even result.

    MacBook Pro 15 retina end 2013 with i7-4960HQ/16 GB of RAM/Geforce 750 m UPDATE!

    Under Mac Os Yosemite 10.10.2 - same situation here. First CC use 5 GB (of 11 GB of available) 4096 x 2160 Prores 422 HQ and is usable, smooth with a few drops of frame.

    SpeedGrade CC uses 2.5 GB RAM of 4096 x 2160 and it is impossible to use plenty of 4096 x 2160. Only 1/2 resolution of overview is smooth and usable on the screen of the laptop. 4096 x 2160 externally connected through Thunderbolt monitor, it's a lot rougher, I think it's hard for 750 m with 2 GB of VRAM.

    UPDATE! Previous version (CC 2014) of first CC and CC Speedgrade Windows 8.1 64-bit - even situation.


    What do you think?


    My opinion - Speedgrade CC is not optimized for 4K resolution. First CC is good for 4K.

    BTW, for more information, latest AMD catalyst driver 14.12 omega has a problem with my R9 295 x 2 and engine reading Mercury (MPE) OpenCL - just black with sound screen, when I turn on the GPU acceleration. So I use the previous version of 14.9. With 14.12 GPUsniffer.exe found a device with 4 GB of VRAM GPU and a GPU with 3 GB of VRAM (normally obligatorily 3 + 3 GB 295 x 2 Dual GPU radeon chip).

    Yes

    So, finally, Speedgrade CC works 95% smooth time with 4096 * 2160 H.264. But it was necessary to turn off all effects in first Pro CC. Nothing new. I found a few discussions on this fact, but after that I spent some time with experiences.

    Stabilizer Warp even alone is enough to make Speedgrade CC really agitated. 'Transform' effect simply blocks Speedgrade CC with "GPU resources.

    Each effect uses some VRAM (for Warp stabilizer 200-300 MB). After you have disabled all effects had load VRAM under/near 2 GB for the little clip 4096 * 2160.

    First CC flies simply with unique x 290 or 295 x 2 (which is the only x 290 during playback). Even 3GB VRAM available software Adobe CC.

    PS Macbook Pro retina 15 "with Geforce 750 M 2 GB VRAM would work smoothly with Prores to half a preview/playback resolution - 2048 * 1080. CC CC SpeedGrade or Premiere Pro with 1/2.

  • Equium L20-197: to upgrade RAM and CPU

    Hello
    I recently bought a l20 - 197 and if im happy of all, what I want to do is upgrade the ram and processor. Ive found a supplier for ram (www.crucial.com), even if I need some details on the processor that it taken and if it can actually be upgraded.
    Thank you!

    Hello

    Before I try to give you some info on the upgrade, I want to just comment on your ad. Satellite L20 is actually a unit of budget and doesn t expensive. Now, you want to invest enough money in the hardware upgrade. It's not really illogical. Why you didn t get more information and bought the best unit as Satellite M40 or same M70. For a 300 or 400 dollars more, you can have a superior unit.

    Sorry, but the best idea is to sell your one and buy another unit. This is my honest opinion on this subject.

    Now something about your questions: essentially upgrading the CPU is not possible due to the permanent connection method. The processors used in laptops are connected to the motherboard using a process called TCP (tape carrier package).

    RAM upgrade is possible and meaningful. Your device has 512 MB of Ram in one slot and unit can handle with 2 GB max.
