Upgrading RAM for best performance with an Intel Celeron 2.20 GHz Core good option?

Hello
I have an old laptop with Intel Celeron 2.20 GHz (1 Core only), 2 GB of DDR2 RAM.
I want to install Windows 7 / 8 with no problems (bad perf, etc.);
-> with programming compilers, editor of photo/video/audio or other
related applications to be run (maybe multitasking).

is it a good idea to update my RAM to a superior?
I have 2 ram slots, 1 one slot is used (2 GB).

If it's good, what can recommend you?
If not, are there other solutions? or just buy a new one?

for now, I have less budget...
pls help.

Thank you

The better question is whether or not your computer accepts more than 2 GB of memory, and if so, what memory support or accept.  Once you have an answer to this question then you need determine if the additional memory will help.  Which would be determined by looking at the performance of the system in system monitoring tools and watching low available memory and/or high swap file usage.

    The Crucial scan seems to direct me to the memory of better and faster that is listed in the Service Guide. My laptop took advantage of this Crucial memory to operate at faster speeds than the memory, I have now? What latency (CL) cases? I saw sticks to new Egg with CL = 9 instead of this Crucial CL = 11. CL is important? What I have to buy two Crucial 4 GB sticks or I can I keep my original 4 GB stick and add a Crucial 4 GB stick for my 8GB?

    Hello.  I'll answer my own questions in the last post above.  Fortunately, HP expert Paul Tikanen resolved my questions in a thread with the following response.  Thank you, Mr. Tikkanen!

    "The faster the memory will run in your laptop is at 1066 Mhz, which is the speed of the FSB of the i5 - 450 M.

    processor.

    http://Ark.Intel.com/products/49022/Intel-Core-i5-450M-processor-3M-cache-2_40-GHz?q=%20i5-450M

    So, my recommendation would be for you to buy a module of memory 4 GB DDR3 PC3 - 10600 (1333 MHz).

    Thus, even the 1333 MHz chip will only work at 1066 MHz.

    I had a lot of success with this configuration of brand and the memory chip.

    Can I safely move my C: drive to my external 500 GB drive and re-install XP for best performance, and then replace the files & C: files transferred by car to ' puter?

    N ° it will not work. Copy your data to the external hard drive, and then make your own install if that's what you want. But take a look at the "slow computer" information below first. Certainly you should backup your data to the external hard drive regularly even when.

    http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Backing_Up

    http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Reinstalling_Windows

    Some reasons for the slow pace of the computer:

    1. computer has not been maintained - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Maintenance

    2. the computer is infected with the malware - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

    3. the disk is too full. Remove useless stuff, uninstall unused programs. Do not forget to save!
    http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Backing_Up

    4. flaky third party software. Toolbars and modules are particularly guilty in this area. Uninstall toolbars (Google, Yahoo, ISP brand, etc) and look at what modules are in use in your browser (s).

    5. computer has too many unnecessary programs/processes running in the background. Manage your Startup:

    For XP - How to troubleshoot using the Msconfig in Windows XP utility - http://support.microsoft.com/?id=310560

    For Vista/Windows7 - Start Orb > Search box > type: msconfig and when it appears in the results area above, right-click and choose 'run as administrator '. Autoruns is also very useful.

    6. the user runs an inflated/invasive such as Norton and McAfee antivirus program. Replace it with a better program. I recommend NOD32 (commercial) or Avast (free). Avira is also good, but the free version has an unpleasant reminder screen (Google for instructions on how to disable it). The user can also run several real-time antivirus/firewall/security programs.

    7. the user has installed new programs that are processor and/or memory-intensive (Photoshop, AutoCAD, Mathmatica or similar) and does not have the power of the equipment.

  • Upgrading RAM for E17 - E5 - 773 G - JA

    Hi guys,.

    So I recently bought a new laptop, thinking I'll upgrade them over time as I usually do with my gear. Apparently this isn't the best idea when you want (some?) laptops if you do not do your research. The laptop was offered for $600 instead of the usual $700 - $750, so I couldn't pass it.

    The particular problem with this laptop is: it is incredibly slow, thanks to both the standard hard drive and the meager 4 GB RAM... which is a shame, because it has a Core i5-6200U which should be pretty snappy.

    If he ends up by I can only improve the reader (it seems accessible, although that stuck in where no normal screwdriver went before) then so that it is, he will still for a large speed boost.

    The problem here lies in the fact I already bought the RAM and won't go back until I know that I can't upgrade the laptop myself, or at all - in case the memory is soldered on to 100%.

    For those who know what the computer laptop innards look like, when the tank is open until you will see 2 cables in the Middle as suicidal traps if you opened to the top of the enclosure too strong. Black flat cable seems vital and glued in place, so that the white/grey cable seems detachable. My thought is that there is a chance of memory banks being present on the underside of the motherboard... or they are welded, in which case my adventure ends.

    Of course I could have bought a laptop computer with more memory or a SSD already mounted in place. The idea was to stick it out 6-12 months, up to the largest size SSD come down in price and choose first update memory. Also my experiences with laptops is that they have a lower lock or the easily removable bottom plating that exposes the reader, the RAM module and a Wi - Fi connection. Lesson learned here.

    Questions:

    -The mobile individual has locations for DDR3L 1.35v memory modules or is existing memory soldered in place? I forgot something? So scalable, how can I remove the ribbons, especially the black ribbon, without damaging it?

    -Do not remove the back part of the lower shell cell phone? If it isn't, by unscrewing the motherboard will be a fight with tools that I currently have.

    -Did someone tried to replace the drive in the laptop and how did you go to this topic with removal of screws? I noticed at least 1 screw on the side that cannot be twisted unless you use some kind of tool to transfer 90 ° twist screw (don't know the name of it)

    -Not related to the topic: what would be the cloning tool better to actually clone the original disc work? I have heard some horror stories about the UEFI/BIOS can't see not the clone due to the identifiers of order and whatnot.

    Thank you!

    The back of the laptop does not come off. The keyboard/palm rest detaches and the motherboard needs to be removed, because the memory is on the lower side.

  • Upgrade safely for OS 9, with the huge iPhoto 8.1.2 library?

    My iPhoto ' 09 8.1.2 library has over 50,000 photos.  I have OS X 10.6.8 - Yes, I know they are old.

    Due to some unfortunate circumstances, I could not upgrade iPhoto and OS earlier.

    How can I move my huge iPhoto library safe when I update OS X 10.9 or newer? (I would use a program that requires OS X 10.9 or higher).

    Any advice on which OS X would be safer?

    Metadata will be preserved during the move?

    Is it advisable to rebuild or repair the iPhoto library before installing the new OS X?

    To free up space on my laptop, 2 years ago I moved my iPhoto to an external HD library; So, is no longer on laptop.  I have 2 external library on other HDs additional backups. Despite this, iPhoto sometimes hold /cursor towers and I have to quit smoking, or force them to leave.

    I also have external on 2 HDs Time Machine backups.

    If I move iPhoto to Photos, event groups disappear?

    I am very nervous about to destroy, loss or damage of the huge photo library by updating to OS X 9 or higher.

    Also, I use Word (Microsoft Office for Mac 2008) for work - this depends on OS 9 and later versions?

    You are far behind (about 8 years) and there is no real good option more except to move to El captain and pictures which is a program that is new and different, with a learning curve (even if you were familiar with iPhoto 11 before the upgrade) and the probability that you will need to update most of your software increasing your learning curve

    I don't know which is better - but in the future, I suggest keep you up-to-date and does lag behind - it works better

    You do not give us the model exactly but dv6 with processors Intel Core gen 2d max to 8 gigs. 3rd and 4th generation can take 16.

    The type of memory that you have linked works perfectly... but not the 2 x 4 GB modules, 8 modules of concert.

  • Guidelines for best performance MS SQL server on EQL

    Hello

    Currently, I have a VM that the C: drive of the system as a disk VMDK on a LUN in a table of PS6100XV (24x600GB 15 k SAS drives).
    This logic unit number is shared with other virtual machines.

    The data and logs is on the D: drive which is a MS iSCSI initiator attached volume on the same table of PS6100XV.

    I think to create two volumes on the Bay and move the data and logs to the respective volume. Will this increase performance or it won't make a difference because the table is a part of 24 disks with a pool. What about braces?

    Can I create different pools and put the different volumes on these pools so volumes using different storage arrays which gives best performance? What is the optimal configuration of the eql to host SQL volumes?

    Thank you

    You certainly want to separate EQL volumes for logs and data.   It was a best practice for a long time, with or without virtualization.   The operating system has a queue of SCSI for both of these "readers" since there is in fact only a single drive.

    If you have not already you must configure the EQL MPIO customer volumes and install HIT / ME software, available on the site Web of Equallogic.   That will optimize the I/O of these volumes.

    If you do that a single physical Bay, you can have only one tank.  If you have two arrays of members, you may have one in swimming and one in the other.  There is no way to split a single physical table on more than a pool.

    Kind regards

  • Maximum RAM for old computer with operating system updated

    I have old a laptop Compaq Presario C700 initially provided with 1 GB of RAM and Windows Vista.  This computer has since been updated for Windows 7 32-bit and upgrade to 2 GB of RAM.  I checked Crucial site and he informed me that the maximum RAM for this computer is the 2 GB that I am currently.  Despite this, I read the posts of people successfully 3 to 4GB of RAM installed and still having their computer function properly.  I also read that the maximum RAM that can run on a Windows 7 32-bit system is 4 GB.

    Since I now have Windows 7, I will be able to further improve my computer to a 4 GB of RAM or the hardware of the laptop itself prevents me to do?

    The manual for a Compaq Presario C700 says on page 2 supports up to 2 GB of RAM:
    http://www.HP.com/CTG/manual/c01301275.PDF

    With all computers, you have two factors limiting the amount of RAM memory that may be installed, or the motherboard, and the version of Windows installed. In your case, it is the motherboard that prevent you from adding more RAM.

  • Change monitor VM CPU / MMU for best performance?

    People,

    I'm about to deploy new features of Windows Server 2008 R2 (Remote Desktop Session Host / RDSH) virtual machines to support 50 + a simultaneous RDP access.

    To control the virtual machine CPU / MMU may be a good idea to boost performance?

    Here is the setting that I mention that I left by default, but don't know which option to click to enable console vSphere:

    MMU.JPG

    do I need to restart the virtual machine to change the option greater than the background value or something else?

    and also, it's the model of VMhost CPU type:

    CPU.JPG

    any kind of comments would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Assuming that AMD - V is enabled in the BIOS of your host, the automatic setting for Windows Server 2008 R2 on your CPU will be AMD - V with IVR.  In most cases, this will give you the best performance.  However, for young LBR is much more expensive with IVR with shadow paging.  If your workload is a TLB buster, you might want to switch to AMD - V with shadow paging.  On the other hand, the page table updates are much more expensive with pagination shadow with IVR.  Thus, even if your workload is a TLB buster, it might be better to use IVR if your workload also has a high frequency of updates of page table.

    Binary translation is rarely a victory.  However, there are rare cases, such as the work of Windows XP 32-bit workloads that rub on the TPR, where the binary translation surpasses hardware-assisted virtualization.

    The only way to be sure that you have selected the best mode is all benchmarks.

    Yes, you don't have to restart the virtual machine to change the execution mode.
