More RAM or disk Fusion?

Hi from Montreal,

In a few days, I'll buy a new iMac 27 inches (the base 3.2 GHz processor/1 TB of storage). What would be the best update: upgrade to 16 GB SDRam or upgrade to Fusion to 1 disc? I especially surf the internet and make a video 1 or 2 (in a year) with iMovie. Nice day.

Put a little extra in the reader and some other updates now, and then increase the RAM yourself using a reputable as OWC or Crucial provider.

  • Installing more ram will make my computer Windows XP go faster?

    original title: windows xp
    Good so I have a few things.

    1. I have a dell Dimension 3000 that hang out around 256 mb of ram and a 70-80 GB hard drive, I use it only for a camera of security around the House, but now the computer is so slow, that I want to upgrade.

    2. I would like to ask a few more ram in it, at least 2 GB, will make that it go faster?

    3. I also might want to replace the hard drive, it makes not go faster, and I have to reinstall the OS?

    4 will be one of this affect my security camera because the dimension has these ports inside the motherboard that allows to add stuff to it and I plug this card of mother of security camera and my friend helped me to implement, he moved so that he can not help me more. I was wondering, if replaceing the drive and ram will make my pc faster and still be able to use my camera to safety without any reinstallation

    Note: Some of these old dell computers have only a drive Bay and the data cable is short and has only one connector for the hard drive. If this is the case and you plan to go XP disk a larger and faster hard you will need a USB external drive to store the backup Image file. Pull the old drive, use the emergency recovery CD to restore the new disk.

    Also based on time, this model has been sold by Dell, the chances are very high that the biggest hard drive you can install is a disk of 120 GB PATA/IDE BIOS will not support 48-bit LBA (disks more 1237 GB in size).

  • Toshiba Satellite L505-s5990 can be improved with more RAM?

    I have this Toshiba satellite L505-s5990 with windows 7 32-bit and intel core 2duo t6500 and I think that I cheated, well I don think, I was mistaken, because when I buy first told me it has ddr3 ram and there no, also told me that I could add more RAM, because it might be expandable up to 8 GB of ram, because there just 3 when I bought and which I have now doubt, well, you might wonder why I do not do something like back or something like that, well the reason is that, at the point where I noticed that it was already too late (warranty and return policy) had expired already, I didn't know anything this either on the computers, of course, so now I'm stuck with it and I guess all I can do is upgraded to what I want if possible lol! Well what I want is run several operating systems to achieve I think that my laptop I could run virtualization and I would like to know what equipment I need to upgrade my computer to do and if it supports the upgrade? I would appreciate very if anyone of you could help me with this.

    Wow.  All this without breathing a lot and you do not use Google? * smile * you should really get in GOOGLE.
     
    You have this laptop:
    http://www.toshibadirect.com/TD/B2C/retail-product.jsp?poid=452314
     
    You can easily get up to 8 GB of memory MATERIAL:
    http://www.crucial.com/upgrade/Toshiba-memory/satellite+L505+series/satellite+L505-S5990-upgrades.html

    Beyond that - well - what EDITION of Windows 7 do you have?  You have given version (Windows 7) and architecture (32-bit) but not editing (home edition Premium, etc.)
     
    In the end - it won't matter much if Windows 7 32-bit came pre-installed.  Despite the ability of the machine to have 8 GB memory installed and the material see - the 32-bit version of Windows 7 you have is not going to use it somehow.  Somewhere between 3 and 4 GB is the most he'll see/use/give you access to.  It is the nature of the beast.
     
    Also - if it came pre-installed you can just use your product key, download Windows 7 64 bits _ and install - because the OEM for Windows 7 licenses does not work like that.  You bought Windows 7 32-bit OEM and that's all you get.  Sales in the RETAIL of WIndows 7 license would have given you the ability to change as often as you wish between 32-bit and 64-bit.
     
    Where did put you?  Well in my digging around, I'm fairly certain that you pretty much exactly what I linked to the first.  Windows 7 Home Premium, 32-bit, 3 GB memory, processor 2.1 GHz dual core...  You can probably do a little now - virtualization might need to turn on a few things in the BIOS to really enjoy it - but it would work probably right now.  Take the free VirtualBox there and install the OS you want ot - but you probably will have to be rare on how much memory you give virtual machine (1, maybe 1.5 GB at max.)

    If you are looking to improve more...  You will probably need to invest in:

    -Windows 7 Professional or edition full 64-bit
    -the 8 GB memory referenced above
    -a larger and faster disk hard

    After that - well, it's a laptop.  Reality of what you can do starting to settle in.  The above improvements would cost you somewhere (from) about 350 USD.  Your Dual Core processor will probably hinder things - how - investment as a whole better system would be wiser.

  • Can you start CC2014 Illustrator with more RAM?

    I use Illustrator for editing SVG very large (> 150 MB) files, and the software is extremely slow and unresponsive more regularly, even if she (slowly, slowly) acquires more RAM. Is there a way to start the Illustrator with a larger amount of RAM, e.g. 8 or 16 GB?

    I'm working on a MacPro with 32 GB of RAM, two 6-core processors, a videocard of NVIDIA Quadro K5000 (4 GB RAM) and tons of free space on the disk. It's very frustrating to see Illustrator is not taking advantage of the available machine resources! I scoured the web for solutions and come empty-handed... Any tips?

    There is nothing you can do. Although you can assign a range of fixed memory, the program would still need to load the objects one by one and make them, so in fact, there is no same sense to think about it this way...

    Hello

    Did you check your user manual?
    Isn't it? Do it!

    As far as I know these details are always mentioned in the manual of the user who is always pre-installed on the notebook.

    I think the banks of memory are placed at the bottom of the unit and you can access it easily.
    The slot should be placed close to cooling fans and it s covered by a screw.
    Remove it and you should be able to remove the cover of the location too.

    In the manual you should also find a detailed how instruction insert new modules from memory. It of not really difficult.

    I also found an info that the RAM modules of 1 GB, 2 GB and 4 GB can be inserted into the two slots.

    I hope I could help you!

  • Captian El is not installed on the SSD disk fusion part after recovering from the internet

    I found that my Mac OS X El Captian is installed on the part of the hard disk of 1 TB disk fusion rather than the part of the SSD drive after the installation of recovery of the internet.

    And the SSD disk fusion part seems to be "not fitted"...

  • Satellite M70-131 - I want to add more RAM

    Hello

    I have a Satellite M70-131
    Part number: PSM70E-01500RAR

    I want to add more RAM, because I know you have to check three points to buy a new:
    -How can I add?
    -The type of RAM?
    -The number of the BIOS or BUS?

    I'm not sure about the third point, I know that I can add to 2G, and the type of RAM is DDR2.
    But if I have the right point, how can I check the number (BIOS or BUS)? Because I tried to add one, but did ' t work!

    Help me please
    Thnx 4 all

    Hello!

    The Satellite M70-131 can be upgraded to 2 GB of RAM and you have already said you need DDR2 RAM.
    Specification for RAM is DDR2 400/533 and you can add two modules with 1 GB of capacity of each module. The reference is PA3411U-1M1G.

    What do you mean with many BUS and BIOS? This has nothing to do with an upgrade of RAM.

  • Equium A100-303: looking to add more RAM

    Hello

    I recently bought a laptop equium A100-303 and am lookin to add more RAM. I was just wondering if it should be buffered or non-buffered or is it important?

    I currently have 1 GB of ram (512 + 512 MB as it is a dual core processor) and I'm looking to move to 2 GB (1024 + 1024). I know that the guy is PC4200, 200 pin SODIMM.

    Also where would be the cheepest place to buy these? Thank you.

    Hello

    > just wondering if it should be buffered or non-buffered or is it important

    Well, Toshiba has recommended using own memory as PA3411U-2M1G modules, but I put t find any information if the module supports ECC (means stored stamped) or Non - ECC (means not stamped)
    To my knowledge, the buffer ECC is about 30% slower than Non - ECC modules.

    He name of your choice what you will buy, but I would recommend purchasing a brand s module.
    I know modules without name are cheaper brand modules are much faster and performance, but the quality is better in the form of modules without name.

    So googel a bit and you will find many offers online. Simply compare prices

  • Allocate more RAM for integrated graphics - HP Pavilion 15-n225nr TouchSmart laptop

    Hi, I have a HP Pavilion TouchSmart 15-n225nr Notebook PC, which is optimal for workloads but (A10 2.10 GHz AMD quad-core processor, came with 8 GB of ram and 750 GB HARD drive), however, recently tried to make a few games but this laptop has an intgrated GPU. I read that the upgrade of RAM will do not much but I ordered a second card of 8 GB of ram, because I want to increase the framerate by every single FPS I can ge and I'm coming soon, so I'll have 16 GB of RAM and the fact he'll be dual channel is a more. I have also read that by upgrading the RAM you can upgrade the amount of ram used by your integrated gpu because there will be more RAM available for use. I don't know if by upgradinng the RAM VRAM happen automatically or if I'll be able to do it manually, I read that you can do it via the BIOS, I don't know for shure if possible.

    So, is it possible to increase the fraction of my RAM than my integrated graphics card uses?, if yes, how?

    If it is not possible to what can do to increase my FPS on the game?, because I can't change a dedicated GPU because it's a laptop.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    According to the specifications of your computer, to graph total 4195 MB memory is the maximum that can be used. Regardless of the amount of dedicated, is all that can be used as memory dedicated. As a general rule, Windows controls the amount of memory used by the video card. This means that you will not be able to change the settings in the BIOS that will change this option. This isn't a computer class in the game and you expect too much of him.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  • How can I require more RAM to my graphics card?

    I'm pretty sure that this question is thrown around a lot, but I can't really find an answer that helps my situation.
    So, I have a HP Pavilion p6-2480ea and I have 6 GB of RAM, but only 32 MB of this is dedicated to my graphics card. So I was wondering if I could dedicate more RAM for my video card? I have an Intel integrated graphics card, so I don't know about if it will hinder me.

    Thank you.

    Normally this parameter is in the BIOS on a desktop computer.  Now remember that the OEM motherboards have luxury may not allow the user to this area of the settings.  Check that setting (award shared with the integrated video graphics card memory) if there is no box for this setting, it might be a better option to add a video card to the system.

  • 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.
