Thanks for the replies guys ! The main reason i havent checked it is cause i dont really want to shell out for the 2 extra gigs if it doesnt work [:D]
Yea, i dont really want to use edit.bin as im not comepletly tweek savy either, but maybe i should try your util Mattias when i get the down time to experiment on my system (should be soon).. my email is vertigosound@sympatico.ca [:)]

Thanks again..Best , Rich

Rich please be aware that it might not be an extra 2 gigs. In order to run 3gigs I had to replace 2 sticks and to run 4 gigs I had to replace all 4, so I now have loads of 512Mb RAM sticks hanging around waiting for a good home!!

Hi DG,

Hmm. well it should be o.k here i think.. using the GA-K8NS ultra 939. Which can take 4 -1 gb sticks. Right now i have 2- 1 GB sticks Corsair DDR-400 twinX. Do they all have to be matching pairs or something?

It depends on various things. You should be OK with your set-up, but only time will tell!!

DG

In my case .. 'various ' meaning what ? [[;)]] Prepare me for the worst !! [:P] Rich

Chipset, BIOS, drivers, weather, whatever... [:)] As one example my MSI Neo2 Ultra (also 939) refuse to work with 4 equal 1GB TwinMos sticks. 2 TwinMos and 2 Selectra works great though, go figure.

Hmm. sounds like it may be one of those quirky.."I mayget it to work one day senerios" !
Thanks Alot for the "Util" Mattias ! I just got it...i may have some questions come tweeking time..Thanks alot guys.. Best, Rich

One last thought. If you get your RAM from a dealer such a Crucial you might be able to return it within a certain period of time if it turns out not to be suitable.

DG

Thanks DG ! Well , all this may be a moot if i cant make Samplitude LAA with Mattias`s Util. I`ll let you know soon. I have a feeling it wont work since even 1 character change in Samps.exe will render the CM stick protection useless apparently..damb dongle.. [:(] Talk soon , Rich

Hi... Anyone tried this on a 3 or 3,5 GB system? Any significant difference in what can be loaded?

I haven't tried 3.5GB, but I guess that it would be the same as 4GB. Between 3 and 4GB there is approximately a difference of 100MB when it comes to sample loading.

DG

Sweet... becuase most of my slaves have 4x512mb. If I can do with 3,5GB taking out one 512 and a single 2GB ram peice would be enough.

If........................! My slaves work with paired memory, so that I can only get 3 or 4GB; not 3.5. They also have to fill all slots.[:(]

DG

Cant't you put whatever you want in them? In my 4 slots I can put any combination, but to take use of Dual-Channel it must be the same size ram. But the ram boost from dual channel shouldnt have any say on how many samples I can load

No, unfortunately mine doesn't like anything but pairs of RAM.

Sucky - admitedly I haven't tried. But in theory it should work. What mother board you useing - you know?

I'll email you the specs when I get a chance.

How does this work on ones main daw, or regular word/gaming/office PC?

Christian, is this question related to the original topic as such?

ummm, i would think so? I'm asking how this memory tweak affects ones non-slave computers. My main daw is the same one i use for things like writing/gaming/emails etc - So to me, and others in the same situation its quite relevant and related.... Maybe I'm not understanding your question correctly - I mean, how can it not be related?

Ok, I just wanted to check...now I understand your question perfectly. [:)] Basically the main DAW/office/gaming machine is course affected the same way your slaves are.

For your DAW it would mean that you can use more memory in that one as well. Depending on the sequencer you use you may need to LAA patch the exe of course.

For office use I don't see that it would change the performance much unless you're working with memory-intensive tasks and apps that are LAA.

For a gaming machine you could possibly run into issues related to graphics cards if you're using a high-end card as the drivers might require lots of kernel-mode memory.

Did that answer something??
