RAM disk: is - this practice?
By ram drive running the operating system on the ram, I mean. With memory prices so incredibly cheap and fast ram so abundant, it seems now is a better time then ever to do so. I thought that I could save my OS and load it to memory prior to each session. Currently I use about 6 GB for the C drive because I loaded all possible programs on another drive. Many people use 16 GB of ram and when it costs only about $5 per GB, sound very tempting. 1600 mhz DDR3 is very powerful, quick and cheap now. You can use a small SSD for all your program files or just a standard Sata 7200 RPM.
A virtual machine, you could easily test because you can put the virtual drive on the RAM disk and run the drive from there to test. I'm thinking now that it has been proposed.

How can I get the Guest VM CPU, Ram, disk of VMware Tools?
Hey guys,.
I have a question for the information of the guest OS,
I can use the SDK to get information such as the disk i/o of vCenter,
But I can't the CPU, Ram, disk use on the comments operating system?
I know vmware tools can help, but I don't know how to use the web Service to obtain, please do me a favor!
Thank you
To get the disk usage information in the guest operating system, you get "guest.disk" property of the managed object VirtualMachine. This will give you the total capacity and free space on each disk information.
For the processor and memory, you can extract the properties "summary.quickStats.overallCpuUsage" and "summary.quickStats.guestMemoryUsage" of the managed object VirtualMachine.
I hope this helps!

Try installing Windows 7 from XP and keep having this error message before choosing my instalation method, Windows not able to retrieve information about the disks on this computer.
Because the migration from Windows XP to Windows 7 requires a clean install anyway, might as well you are backing up your important files and settings using Windows Easy Transfer and do a custom clean install by booting from the Windows 7 DVD.

Missing data - Performance: CPU, RAM, disk, Net
Hi, I would ask how to fix Capacity Planner not displaying no not Performace data on dashboard. Check the data of the "missing" view, Performance for the CPU, Ram Disk and Net are marked 'X '.
Thanks in advance.
Please see attached file...
According to the screen shots data were collected only tree days yet. If I'm mistaken for reports display performance data, a minimum (not sure how many days) of collected performance data. Maybe there is something in the documentation!

Dashbord CPU, RAM, disk, Perf missing data Net
I'm starting a new Capacity planner. Dashboard monitor-> show missing data, there is no data with CPU, RAM, disks, pref. Net on systems with Performance data (please see attachment file), but a data collector VMware capacity Planer 2.8 has collectd it. How do I troubleshoot it? Thank you
I would recommend that you go to the '1. Put tab in place' and change the date range for the project. I can see your username that you are Thai and generally the data send to Thailand would contain 255 x years (thai year) instead of 201 x.

And if the answer is Yes, then the warranty service would free it will affect my warranty? In addition, should what kind of RAM I look for if I want to upgrade? Aries will be added to the existing RAM and it will replace it?
I'm sorry for so many questions, my English and my ignorance when it comes to upgrading a laptop. And is all what I should know about upgrading RAM as it might damage the data on my disk, etc. ?
Notes:
I still have the warranty and the stamp is still there.
Data sheet:
- Intel Core i5-5200U 2.20 GHz
- NVIDIA GeForce dedicated 820 m with 2 GB of VRAM
- HARD DRIVE 500 GB
- 4GB DDR3 Memory (RAM) L
- Windows 10 Pro (i think)
I know not if Acer will modernize under warranty, you must remove the motherboard to increase the RAM, the installation of CPU - Z to find out the exact your RAM specifications, then buy with timing and characteristics and to update yourself, if you are not sure to dismantle get performed by a technician on site, you can find the cost of this upgrade for your support of Acer local as they can do for one, compare prices with the quote from your local technician.
You will lose all the data from your hard drive because of the upgrade of RAM but I tell reflect you to back up the entire system on an external hard drive using Macrium or similar utility.
This is to show you how to upgrade and what is at stake:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmsFDi_qsnQ
This is just one example to show how to find the upgrade for your laptop and you don't need to buy Crucial memory, any brand works as long as they match the same characteristics as your current RAM.

Ram disk cache is not all temporary files
I use xubuntu and want Firefox to use a virtual disk cache. My settings are:
Browser.cache.Disk.parent_directory - string - / media/ramdisk
Browser.cache.Disk.Enable - false
Browser.cache.Memory.Enable - trueWhen I restart firefox I see a new cache2 folder appear in the virtual disk (as it should). Inside this folder are two more, condemned and entries.
In the past, when I used a ramdisk the 'inputs' folder still contained data for the displayed web pages. These data disappear (as it should) is restarted.
However, now, the "Scriptures" folder is always empty - never contains all the temporary files.
As far as I know, firefox does not use another cache somewhere I changed the name to .old.
Is it normal to act that way now?
You are welcome.

If the internal hard drive dies this affect router/WiFi? I know that this seems to be a strange question. Logically, they seems to be two independent functions. However, since I do not understand how it works...
I plan to spend my old airport extreme (about 7 years) at an airport new Time Capsule or Airport Extreme for better wi - fi range.
Where the internal hard disk come into your Airport Extreme or Time Capsule dying airport upgrade?
If the disc is dead, it will be not not to be replaced. This should be done first before to other devices.

To be clear: the upgrades of RAM and HARD drive are supported.
Update CPU is not supported due to several reasons. Check the lease - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htmYou must understand that the hardware update on mobile machinery is quite limited due to the special construction and cooling system.

Upgrade of RAM maximum and be happy with it.

Hello HP,.
I have a laptop CQ58-bf9WM, which had Windows 8.1. The 320 GB hard drive died and bought a new SATA 500 GB laptop. had no CD recovery, went online, enter all the important information, serial No., model #, then purchased through HP recovery disk, received the CD (manufacturer 708896-001, 708895-001 708897-001) and put #1 disc in the CD started and that's what I get: this computer is not supported by the system recovery media. You will not be able to continue to recover this system with these media. "Error: 0100-169-1855-188 b" then you have the OK, then when you press OK, the laptop shuts down. I pressed ESC on POST, then I tested memory and the new hard drive and they both passed. HELP PLEASE! Thank you
Should not have anything to do with the new hard-both disk that is at least equal or greater than original ability, they work. It is 'possible' that you have received the wrong set of recovery.
Thing of OE to check. Enter the BIOS by pressing F10 immediately after turning on (have to press ESC, then F10 to the menu). Is the serial number, model number.etc all intact?

HP 15 r204ne: r204ne 15 hp ram slots how this laptop has one or two
When I checked my ram I found only 4 GB
Now I want to upgrade my ram
Is that my laptop (hp 15 r204ne) has one or two slots of ram and what is the maximum memory I can update in every situationMy operating system is Windows Home Edition unilingual 64 10 x
Thank you
Here are a few selected information from the Service Manual that answers your questions;
housing for module customer accessible/upgradable memory 1 or 2 (depending on model) 2 slots: DDR3L - 1600 MHz Dual Channel Support (Core processors)
2 slots: DDR3L - 1600 MHz Dual Channel Support (Core processors)
Supports up to 16 GB of RAM in the following configurations: 16384 MB total system memory ● (8192 × 2)
If you have 2 slots and can install 2 x 8 gigabytes of memory to laptop DDR3L-1600 yours is a "Core" (i5).
HP recommends 8 module in concert:
Module (PC3L, 12800, 1600 MHz) memory: 8 GB 693374-005
Kingston sells this compatible memory:
However, upgrading memory is considered possibly a procedure of "Authorized Service Center only" (the manual is inconsistent on this) and is not easy to do in all cases. It would also potentially negate your warranty, but it is not 100% certain, either. Here is the manual and memory installation is completely up to the 75 percent. It would require removal of the motherboard, we will tell you.
