Hey everyone,
I just put together my first system that uses DDR3 memory. The motherboard I got is an ASUS M4A77T/USB3 and it has 4 DDR3 RAM slots. Looking in the manual for the MB it doesn't say anything about how to install the RAM as far as matching the pairs goes.
I have 2 4GB sticks of RAM, and whether I put the sticks next to each other…
We have 2 Hyper-V hosts at present running 1 virtual server that was converted from a physical box running all roles.
My plan is to split the roles over various virtual machines, upgrading to the latest software versions as I go, and use the backup server as a standby in case the main server fails. AppAssure backup software has a feature called…
I have a xen server with xen-4.1.3, linux-image-3.2.0-3-amd64, debian squeeze and 16Gb of RAM. The domain-0 has 1Gb of ram, the rest of memory belongs to the hypervisor. I want to start a guest domain with a minimal amount of memory and increase it runtime later.
When I start a guest domain with 256Mb of ram and run xm mem-set domu 4Gb, I get…
Hi everyone!
PHP question (new to PHP after 10 years of Perl, arrggghhh!).
I have a 100mb file that I want to send to another server.
I have managed to read the file in and "post" it without curl (cannot use curl for this app). Everything is working fine on smaller files.
However, with the larger files, PHP complains about not being able…
Hi,
The background of my question is associated with Tesseract, the free OCR engine (1985-1995 by HP, now hosting in Google). It specifically requires an input file and an output file; the argument only takes filename (not stream / binary string), so in order to use the wrapper API such as pytesser and / or python-tesser.py, the OCR temp…
It's taking me up to an hour to read a 1-gigabyte NetworkX graph data structure using cPickle (its 1-GB when stored on disk as a binary pickle file).
Note that the file quickly loads into memory. In other words, if I run:
import cPickle as pickle
f = open("bigNetworkXGraph.pickle","rb")
binary_data = f.read() # This part doesn't take…
I have running 8GB ram and 8 x Xeon 3361 system! What is the best setting for running simultaneous connection! What is the maximum? Is setting like this correct?
server.max-keep-alive-requests = 0
server.max-keep-alive-idle = 10
server.max-read-idle = 60
server.max-write-idle = 60
server.event-handler = "linux-sysepoll"

I had some 512MB PC3200 Kingston mem modules in a server, and I ordered replacement Kingston memory in 1GB sticks. The vendor said they were out of stock and I agreed to let them ship me "compatible" Samsung memory. However, after installing, the MB posted BIOS errors and wouldn't even boot to a BIOS screen. Both memory was ECC PC3200.…
Mostly I still have that old 'ultraportable' laptop that is mostly like a pre-netbook era laptop and a friend and programmer needs a computer because the one he was using just broke and he has to wait until the new one arrive in 4-6 weeks ...
This laptop has no LAN connection and CD-ROM so be prepared for a real challenge!
All…
I moved image from one machine to another. Problem is - I didn't shut down' instance, just suspended it.
On machine #1 I have 32G and instance had 16Gb allocated. On machine #2 I have only 10G and instance won't resume (due to memory)
But I can't lower amount of memory - I guess because machine in "suspended".
Anyway to…
Would that laptop be able to handle running Windows 7? If so, is it even recommended? Any downsides?
It's an old laptop so I was skeptical about doing this.
Here are some more specs:
Intel Pentium M Processor 740
Intel integrated Media Accelerator 900 graphics card
60GB Hard Drive (5400RPM)
4-cell Lithium Ion…
For the purposes of running Active Directory and DNS Server, what are the minimum memory requirements for Server Core 2008 R2?
I've read of someone using 256MB. This seems pretty low although summing up the memory usage when running tasklist suggests it's OK.
Is there any way to know?
I have noticed that on the ASUS P5QL Pro motherboard the BIOS says "Dual Channel Asymmetric Mode" during POST. The motherboard has three 2GB Kingston ValueRAM 800 MHz DIMMs populated in the first 3 slots from the CPU socket. I have not run any benchmarks to verify that dual-channel is somehow being used, but I believed…
I have a laptop with a LAMP setup. The HDD is slow, which causes my unit tests to run slowly.
I was wondering whether I could mount the web root the mysql database on some kind of ramdisk.
From what I have read of ramdisks, they are non-persistent.
Is there anyway to create a ramdisk that writes changes to an area…
Even though I've upgraded countless video cards, RAM, harddrives, motherboards in PCs... this will be my first mac mini RAM upgrade.
I've watched the classic "putty knife" video. (Absurd method... but I guess it's what I'm stuck with.)
I have a 1.83 Intel-based Mac Mini from 2007-2008, with 1 gig of RAM.
(Two 512…
I've recently moved from VMWare Server to ESXi 4.0. Running on Dell T310. My VM's have been restored but they are running dog slow compared to VMWare Server. I loaded ESXi 4.0 using only default values.
Where are some areas where I can tweak the performance? Even logging onto the VM's can be extremely sluggish.…
I read on Wikipedia that Windows 7 on a 64-bit PC needs twice as much RAM as on a 32-bit PC.
I understand why is that: every number stored in memory takes 8 bytes rather than just 4.
That, in simple terms, means that your amount of RAM is reduced to half when you use Windows 7 on a 64-bit computer.
Now, I have a…
I've had a question(s) regarding computer degradation going through my head for a while and haven't found many good resources for researching it.
1) First off, when is the virtual RAM/paging file on a hard drive used by Windows? Is it used when the RAM is full? Or does it use the Virtual RAM/paging file as…
I have a windows 2008 x64 server with 8GB of RAM installed.
Task Manager and Resource Monitor both insist that 7.5GB of the RAM is in use. However, the memory list under Processes (Memory Private Bytes) doesn't add up. I do have Show Processes from all users checked and hand adding the numbers I come up with…

I ran a NAS/SAN box on Solaris 11 Express before Solaris 11 was released. The box is an HP X1600 with an attached D2700. In all, 12x 1TB 7200 SATA disks, 12x 300GB 10k SAS disks in separate zpools. Total RAM is 30GB. Services provided are CIFS, NFS and iSCSI.
All was well, and I had a ZFS memory usage graph…
I have a old Laptop Dell Latitude D430 that I just upgraded to Windows 8. The Ram that I have installed is 2GB (Max Ram that this laptop can handle) but I am wondering if by installing windows 8 can help also to increase the cap of the total Ram that the laptop can handle.
I know that some laptops have a…
