IMac :: Advantages To Matching RAM?
Sep 23, 2010
Just a quick question for anyone kind enough to take a moment to answer: I have a 24" 2.93GHz Core2 Duo iMac (last year's model) that shipped with 2 x 2GB (hence total 4GB) of RAM. I am starting to feel the crunch from more memory-intensive programs, and so the time has come to upgrade. is there a clear performance advantage to installing matching RAM sizes, as opposed to 2 sticks of different sizes? I noticed that [URL] currently offers an 8GB kit (2x4GB) for around $260. This is a bit beyond my budget, so I was thinking of instead just getting one 4GB through them for $130, and then mixing it with the Apple 2GB stick which is already in the computer. Would I see a significant performance upgrade with the 6GB mismatched RAM vs. the 4GB matched?

For some reason, on some of my emails, it shows its from a certain sender but the body of the email does not correspond. The odd thing is that on my iPhone, the emails are fine. I did recently get the new 27" iMac and restored from Time Machine however this is happening with new emails as well, not just old ones that were already on the computer. It's also only happening to some emails, not all.

I should be getting my iMac in the next few days and more than likely going to get the 24" ACD, so I can dual display it. I know there is a difference in height, so going to VESA wall mount the ACD. I know the 24" ACD is LED and a slightly different screen to the iMac, the question I have his will I be able to get the screens to look pretty much identical i.e. brightness, colours or will I have to get something to calibrate the screens?

Did Apple make a HUGE oversite in not making the monitors match in size to the iMac's? Am I the only one that would love to have an iMac with a second monitor? Being that the sleek look of my wifes iMac is amazing by itself, can imagine putting a monitor next to it that is of a different size and look. Why wouldn't Apple with all of its innovation and attention to detail with look and feel not have thought of this very thing? Is only 2 monitor sizes also a huge over site on the part of Apple?

I have a dual monitor setup at present with a 24 inch iMac (waiting for my 27" i7 to arrive) and a 23 inch Cinema display. The problem is that the height of the Cinema Display is much lower than my imac, I currently have it sitting on a couple of metal Oakley sunglasses cases to raise it to the same height as my iMac 24" but it looks messy - does anyone have any great solutions for raising the height of the 23 inch cinema display to align with an iMac 24 or even better 27?

many people have asked this already probably, but i was wondering about the advantages of Mac OS over Windows. i've heard some but they never made any sense to me. i've become somewhat tired of windows and the associated programs. but Mac is also very expensive. can you people give me any opinions or even links to hard facts about the differences between the operating systems.

Are there any tests that compare a 1.6GHz to 1.8GHZ(1.86GHz for Rev B) with the exact same configuration? For example I would be interested in comparing 1.6GHZ with HDD with a 1.8GHZ with HDD(Not SSD). The reason I ask is I would think the 1.6GHz would generate less slightly less heat and have a slightly longer battery life as compared to the 1.86GHz. So there might be more than just money saved when going with a 1.6GHz

I'm planning to buy a Mac Pro soon (within a week or so), and I'm wondering about the GPU setup. My question: Is there a processing advantage to getting multiple GT120's? I'm running two 30" ACD's so I know I don't need the extra card to support two monitors. But I'm wondering if Aperture, Photoshop, Lightroom, and other GPU intenstive apps would be able to take advantage of having two GPU's? Fyi - I'm planning on the 8x2.66GHz, 12GB ram, 1TB internal (I use drobo's for storage)...so just wondering what would be optimal for my photographic processing (and some videos with the 5Dmk2 camera).

I have an application called AppFresh, which basically scans the apps I have for available updates, then it's supposed to update the ones that are available. However, every time I try to update an app, I get this response: "Download Successful. Installation failed (Bundle ID's don't match)." What does this mean, and how can I fix it? It'd be a handle little app if I could get it to work right.

I'm really in need of a new Mac, my iBook G4 still does what I need, but not so great in music production In any event, I don't have loads of money and as much as I'd like to buy a MBP, I'm lookin at the Mac Mini, more so now after seeing it can be upgraded beyond what apple is willing to offer. It voids the warranty but I don't care, I've been building computers since I was a kid with my dad (obviously started with PC). Problem is I can't find a central location about matching up CPU's or limitation and all that good stuff. Do you guys know where to point me so I can start checking prices on things to find out if it's worth the trouble?

I created my account username om my Mac ( OSX 10.6.2 ) long before I created my website. If we take it that my user account name happens to be 'myname' and my website happens to be [URL]. I hadn't noticed it was a problem until the other day. I changed the site base ref to work from [URL] away from {URL]. The problem is on my Mac, the address [URL] is referring to the local web server, ie pre installed Apache and library/webserver/documents not the actual web address. If Web server is switched off via the sharing control panels - the address returns a google not found page? which seems very odd.
It will also do this from any user account - identical results, so I know the Mac has reserved the name in some way. I don't want to rename my user account. I cant see my own website on my Mac which is very frustrating, as my website root is forcing all traffic to [URL] ( which is what I want of course ) and not [URL]. I have to use Parallels with a version of Windows to see the site properly.

I've just signed on iCloud. An iTunes matching is taking too long to upload my music library to iCloud. My question is can I interrupt an upload process? Will iCloud peak it up where it left to continue an upload to iCloud?

I was planning on selling my iBook G4 to assist in buying a refurb MB, but might there be any advantages to hanging on to it? The only thing I can think of is as an additional backup, but as it is only 60 GB, doesn't seem worth it. Book G4, 1.33, 640MB, 60 GB. Any creative uses for it or is it best to sell?

I noticed that with the new dell precisions workstations that the standard configuration is as a server, not really a desktop which made me wonder what advantages server grade machines offer over desktop machines.
With the Mac Pros, one of the reasons why they are so expensive (well, a lot of the reason why) is because they use processors that intel created for servers and workstations as opposed to desktop computers. What is the advantage of these processors over your typical desktop processors?
(and are all the Mac Pros using server grade processors?)
