What is the max RAM I should update?

Hello

My system is a 27 "iMac i5 2.8 GHz with 4 GB of DDR3 RAM. Currently, I am now running Snow Leopard OS. My system has 1 CPU and 4 cores.

If I had to use After Effects CS5, what is the maximum amount of RAM I should update?

Someone told me that the max my system can use is 4 GB of RAM (which means no point me upgrading the RAM) because I have only 1 processor 4 cores. Is this correct? Otherwise, what is the max RAM I should update?

Thank you very much, really appreciate a good answer.

See you soon

Mylenium wrote that told you about your system isn't true that your system is 64-bit and 64-bit will take as much RAM you can give him and after effects CS 5 can enjoy more RAM and works better with more RAM.

Now a graphics card has in general not as much effect in improving the performance of EI, but with more VRam graphics will also help with open gl features.

It is also an option your iMac takes 16 GB of RAM so your answer is 16GB is what you need and when they update the RAM and make it backwards compatible which will help as well. So keep an eye on the future. Because 16 GB cards can now get so when they do them for theMac they might mac them backward compatible.

  • What is the max RAM for minitour HP Elite 8200?

    Hi, I looking for a PC HP Compaq 8200 Elite CMT (number LE245PA) and have a question about the maximum RAM that will be. The PC is http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/au/en/sm/WF05a/12454-12454-64287-3328898-3328898-5037949.html?dnr=1

    Page 10 of http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/13879_na/13879_na.pdf is a bit ambiguous, and I can't work if the maximum is 16 GB, or is it to 32 GB.

    It says "1 GB, 2 GB and 4 GB memory DDR3 DRAM technologies are supported. "Thanks to the 4 GB device technologies, the largest possible memory capacity is 32 GB, mode with four x 8 GB dual channel double rank unbuffered DIMM memory configuration.

    But then the table at the bottom of the same page seems to imply that the maximum is 16 GB.

    Please can someone tell if the maximum is 16GB or 32GB in this model?

    Hello:

    I don't understand all this rigamarole.

    It's very confusing. It seems that HP has copied some info from Intel about the specifications of the chipset and I couldn't make either heads or tails of it on the Intel site.

    Max RAM per slot is 4 GB.

    I installed 16 GB in mine.

    It seems therefore that the laptop is already upgraded to the maximum RAM.

  • General question: which limits the max RAM, you can install? Why is he still limited?

    Hi all

    I have a p7-1254 Pavilion with 8 GB of RAM installed. I thought that perhaps it would be better if I installed 16GB. Then I read the specs of my PC and it says "Supports 8 GB of RAM".

    Why would it be limited? What is the reason RAM gets limited on some PCs?

    Hello:

    You are right. The maximum memory that can be installed in your PC is 8 GB.

    Why is there a limit?

    This is a hardware limitation of the motherboard chipset, or a limitation of the BIOS that cannot be changed.

    Memory is limited to a certain extent in every PC.

    As PC evolves a day 16 GB will be that 2 GB is now.

  • HP ENVY M6 1310sa: what is the maximum RAM can take a 1310sa?

    According to the title: what is the maximum RAM can take a 1310sa?

    If you have indeed the m6-1310sa laptop, then 19 GB installed as a pair of modules of 8 GB will bring in 16 GB memory. Also what says the manual.

    Unless you like surprises (no boot), only to install an identical pair of guaranteed compatible memory from a memory well known manufacturer modules. (Kingston, Crucial, Corsair and al.) Do not mix strips memory of different capabilities, configuration or manufacturers. Remove the original strips and replace them with upgrade modules.
