Reduce the RAM from 4 GB to 2 GB

Original title: "change the RAM"

to install "lego racers 2', I saw advice to reduce the RAM of 4 GB to 2 GB, install, then increase the RAM to 4 GB. How can I do this and are there any risks involved?

Had to hop in this one, too much outside the walls, not to do!

LEGO Racers 2 is an older title, looks like it was released in 2001. This is the page for Windows Vista compatibility:

http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-Vista/details.aspx?type=software&p=LEGO%20Racer%201%262&v=ValuSoft&UID=&pf=0&PI=0&s=LEGO%20racers%202&OS=32-bit

Doesn't look as if it were entirely consistent. I found the thread (warning: third-party Web site) Dominic refers to the good. It seems that when users have more than 2 GB of RAM and try installing the game, Setup returns with an error "not enough memory". When they get out a stick of RAM and get up to 2 GB or less, he moved very well. After that they can reinstall the RAM and the game will play very well.

My best advice is to contact the manufacturer of your system using Add/Remove RAM since the steps differ by the system. If you can provide your system and the model, I'm sure we could find the manual for you, or at least get you pointed in the right direction. But all-in-all, I see no problem temporarily remove little RAM to get the game installed. Just be sure to put yourself in the Earth (by entering the metal case) before touching any components and you should be fine.

  • Reduce the noise from the projector

    I'm new to first items 10 and plan on some of my first projects making the transfer of some sound Super 8 films on DVD and the web. I have the film loaded into Premiere Elements but I notice that some have noise from the projector in the background. I have them done with microphone of the camera, pick up the sound from the speaker projector since I have no way to save only the sound alone.

    I did have a lot of luck with the help of audio effects to reduce noise. So I was wondering if anyone knows what I have to use filters. I want to reduce or eliminate (no chance of this, I know) the projector noise so that the voice can be heard better. Thanks to all who have advice!

    I have books of Steve Grisetti ordered but I would like to do something on this project in the meantime. I do not understand how the audio effects change the audio, but I hope the books will give me a full understanding of them.

    The removal of the 'noise' of an Audio file is usually difficult, hard work and often not that good. Yet, this ARTICLE goes into detail. Unfortunately, with noise audio, there is no "miracle cure".

    In my case, my projector Eumig Dual-8 has a one line (DIN plug) and I just feed on my recorder or camera and in the latter case, select Line In, only to turn off the microphone.

    Good luck

  • Satellite M50-108: Upgrade the Ram from 512 MB to 1 GB

    My laptop model is a M50-108! But I don't see any info on this model, anywhere, what kind of memory would be preferable to add to my computer? (512 MB)!

    Post edited by: naturecalls

    Hello

    you mean the type that ask what size would be funny. :) (more is better)
    The right type for that machine is DDR333 and the maximum amount of RAM you can install is 2 GB (2 x 1 GB memory module).

    It does not matter which manufacturer but I can tell you from my experience as a well-known brand (kingston, crucial, samsung) is always not more then a no name. And try to use two absolutely similar modules for reasons of compatibility and performance.

    Hope I could help.

  • Satellite Pro A60 - I want to upgrade the RAM

    I bought a second hand Pro A60 and would like to increase its memory. I never have, so I need a little guidance. First of all, the system tells me that I have 2 x 250 MB of RAM. I understand that these are not removable, but I could add a 1 GB extra to give me the max of 1.5 GB.

    I think that the locations of memory are in B4, but when I open it I do not see an obvious empty slot. I guess what I see are among the 250 MB, but nothing else.

    Offers of additional State of RAM installation is simple, but a free slot is not obvious.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    On this laptop, just a slot is placed at the bottom. Turn off and let us know what capacity has this RAM module. You can buy new with more capacity and put it in this slot.
    A RAM is probably under the keyboard. Remove the RAM from the bottom and start your laptop. check the amount of RAM is recognized.

    If mobile shows 256 MB then you can add a RAM in low 1024 MB PC2700 (PA3313U-1M1G) and you will have approximately 1280MB what is the max RAM this laptop to handle with.

  • PC RUNNING SLOW - UPGRADE RAM FROM 2 GB TO 8GM

    I did something wrong: I: 2011 ACE EMACHINE, AMD Dual Core 64-bit E300 1.3 GHz with a 500 GB hard drive.  The operating system is Win. 7 at home.

    1. when I increase the RAM from 2 GB to 8 GB (7.5 can be used) that means?  I understand that some are for the system.

    2. How will I know which programs are appropriate to use with my RAM memory?

    3. once I did the installation, my computer still work slow why? Do I need more high grade for my PC better?  If Yes, what?

    I thank very you much for your time.

    You asked: when I increase the RAM from 2 GB to 8 GB (usable 7.5) what does that mean?

    I have already replied to this above. Part of memory is used by the system to manage the rest of the memory.

    You said: I don't have that 1 or 2 program open at the same time.

    You could use only 1 or 2 both programs, but in fact, your computer has hundreds of programs running. This is what is listed in the Task Manager process tab.  You can consult this list to identify what type of program is using a lot of your CPU cycles and causing slowness.

  • How to reduce the coverage area

    Hello

    We have our office in a campus IT several floors with other businesses in the area. We plan to go wireless in the whole of the Office (full 1 floor). Can we do anything to reduce the signal from outside the offices in order to avoid the attacks/hacks? We use 1240AP.

    Outside the use of security, I want o know how to reduce the coverage area... the parameters of power etc.?

    Thank you

    There are a few things that can help.

    Placement of the AP, down the power, by cutting basic-rate further down to shrink the cell, using directional antennas to better focus the signal and the deployment of obstacles that affect signals (sheet Tin, plants, people, etc.).

    It will take some creativity, planning and measurement

  • How reduce the size of images from my Web site?

    Hi, I'm quite new to build Web site and using photoshop to make images for her. I have a Web site here: http://naughtylanguageofdesire.com/

    I noticed from time to time that it takes forever to open my Web site. I read some information from a site saying that it could be because of the images in my website being too large. For this reason, it takes longer for my Web site is displayed.

    Is it possible for me to reduce the size of their share using Photoshop? At the same time, I like to keep a decent quality. Thank you

    First to use Image > Image size and pixel units since it happens in the game screen.

    So, I suggest "save for Web". You can adjust interactively size vs quality while watching your preview.

    You also have the option to remove metadata and I understand "Optimized" is a good choice.

  • What is the best ram from owc or critical

    I think to upgrade the RAM in my imac late 2015 5 k.  Anybrecommendations on which is better?  Someone at - he heard anything about Adamanta?  I know that I can go back up to 32 GB, but don't know if that's an exaggeration.  8 GB won't be enough as I already was close to maxing outside of just the podcast, applications and tabs.  I was thinking to add 16 GB at 8 I or do I just do the 32 GB and do with it

    Both are very highly recommended and both are very reliable sellers, none is better than the other... Your question is a bit like asking which is better a Mercedes or a BMW. Both are nice cars, which one you choose is strictly up to you.
