I'm starting to oc my athlon 64 4000+, have it at 2,48 GHz at the moment, pretty lame I know, but there are no dividers in my BIOS and my multipliers are locked so I can only increase the HT Link (FSB). I'm really kind of stuck here...:s. Now I need a good memtesting program so I can see how far I can push my memory and OC that athlon as far as possible.
View 5 RepliesI have just jumped up to 4x2bg A-DATA PC2 6400 and am currently running Memtest+86 on my machine (I am at work now). I used to use Prime95 and SP2004 Orthos Edition for CPU and Memory stress testing, is anyone using these with Vista x64? I will give them a try later and report back but if anyone has any other stress programs that will work.

Memory DiagnosticsIf Vista detects a memory problem in your system such as a faulty RAM module, it will display a notification asking if you want Vista to try to diagnose the problem.Then again you may also recieve the sudden BSOD with the error MEMORY MANAGMENT at the top. You can manually run this tool anytime just typememory in the search box inside the start menu.This tool offers you two options: restarting immediately and checking for problems, or running next time you reboot your machine (the memory diagnostic tool must run at boot time).
Network DiagnosticsWindows Vista also allows you to check the connectivity of your network connection using the Network Diagnostics Framework: An infrastructure and a set of built-in and extensible components that attempts to automatically diagnose and correct network connectivity problems. The usual way to run this check is to open Network Center and click the Diagnose Internet Connection link on the left Vista will either identify ............
I had 4GB physical memoryon the PC. With Windows vista 32 bit, available memory is shown as 3.3GB. I asked and was told that only under 64 bit windows, will the available memory be 4GB. When I upgraded to windows 7, I chosed 64 bit, but the available memory shown in the system is still 3.3 GB. Why is this and is there a way to make the full 4GB available? It's possible that my video card is using RAM instead of its own RAM. If I install a video card with its own RAM, will the full 4GB be available?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a problem with Vista Ultimate x64 SP1, I always seem to lose all my free RAM within an hour regardless of system activity, even while idling. I have noticed an svchost.eve process runs each time I reboot which seems to bloat constantly although when I close it down it only frees up about 800MB, what's happening to the rest of my 8GB??? When I launch Task Manager it says I'm only using 10% Memory but free RAM sits at 0?!?!

View 7 Replies View RelatedI am fairly new to the forums, and VERY new to Vista x64. The machine is new, and I was trying out some apps and games, I was in Secondlife when I got an error messege saying I was out of memory and needed to free up memory. I shut down the app and restarted it. Runs but I watched Task manager and saw my free memory down to almost nothing after an hour or so. The cached seems very high.
I did alittle research and decided to set a second page file on my 1TB hard drive, (OS is on the other HHD's )( regulated by system for size ) I'm not really sure whats going on. Example of just task manager and this page openis attached. Again, any help would be great in getting the memory set up on here optimal.
I have 6gigs of DDR3 memory at 1600hz. Running on Vista 64bit and every now and again my memory performance just maxes out. The problem can occur around the time when I am installing something but I dont think its always this way. I have read forums where it could be the hardrives performing self diagnostics. I have all the latest patches for vista.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm running Vista 64 Home (SP1) Premium on a homebuilt machine w/8GB (4 X 2GB modules). Windows is reporting 8 GB of Installed Physical Memory but is reporting only 4 GB of Total Physical Memory. I first noticed this when, after installing a game, the game system specs said 3092 MB of RAM.
I have checked the BIOS and it recognizes 8 GB. Memory Remapping is Enabled. Under Memory Remapping is "PCI MMIO Allocation: 4GB to 3328 MB" (?). MSConfig Boot Options shows Max Memory is not checked and no value in the box below. I tried enabling it and using 8192 as the value, but it made no difference. DxDiag shows 8 GB installed RAM. how I can get windows to make available all 8 GB of RAM?

Typical load usage of memory is 2GB - about 25% of my total memory Maximum use of memory was 3GB - I would rather have Vista use memory than to use swap file. How can I get this done?

everytime i try to access a folder on my external hard drive (Toshiba 2.0 USB), it freezes explorer and and error message comes up saying out of memory, but i can't read it all because most of the window is just black.
also, before all of this started my NVidia graphics had a message pop up saying the NVIDIA Display Panel Extension cannot be created.
Possible reasons include:
Version mismatch. Reinstalling display drivers may solve this problem.

I am putting together a new build and since PC-6400 DDR2 is sooo cheap I thought I might consider 8GB on an X38 board. I already have 2x2GB dimms, and was guessing if I went to 8GB it might be nice to have 4 identical DIMMS, which are still available (ie, another 2x2gb of the pair I have now). Anyone have wisdom about this? My main uses NOW are MS Flight Simulator, Gigastudio, and both of those benefit from at least 3GB, beyond that I don't know. I don't forsee video editing.

I just got Vista this april for the first time Vista Ultimate 64 bit to be precise. It came with a new computer that has 4GB of Ram...which I thought would be plenty, but apparently not? Right now I have 4 programs running: Sony Vegas, Zune, Firefox and MS Word. Including all the background tasks like firewalls and all that good stuff, it says I'm using 2.65 GB memory. Ok I still have about 1.4 GB left right? Wrong...I have 12 MB?
2000 MB are cached. Whats up with that? Now Sony Vegas keeps crashing because I dont have enough ram and I cant open Windows media Player because I dont have enough ram....What happened to all my memory?
i have 4 gig of memory on my pc. i reinstall my vista. after the installation, my machine said that i only have 3gig. where is my remaining 1 gb (i put 4gb) on it. before i reinstall it my pc read my 4gb:o of RAM. but now 3gb only.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've spent the last 2 weeks trying to confirm this. With Vista 32bit SP1, is it true that it will not only see the 4 gigs of ram installed, but use all 4 gigs as well? I've had gamers tell me that the OS will show the 4 gigs installed, but that was the only thing Sp1 did. It still can use only around 3.21 gigs.
I've also had system builders say that Vista 32bit SP1 will both show the 4 gigs, and use ALL 4 gigs. Both swear that they are right and the others don't know what they're talking about. I've built a new gaming rig and I have an OEM copy of Vista HP SP1 32 bit, and I want to be sure that I'm not wasting the 4 gigs I have installed, but I can't seem to get a consistent answer from everybody.
only controversy. Even two different MS MVP's gave me two different answers. I'm almost to the point of calling MS tech. support and asking for their best Vista tech. specialist to find out for sure. This is getting ridiculous.
I am currently running both Vista 64 and Vista 32 on two different drives and I notice that when booted, 64 uses almost 1.2 gig of RAM while 32 uses only about 800meg when booted. The only thing I have on 64 that I don't on 32 is iTunes and the Adobe CS3 suite. Is this normal? If so, why does 64 use more memory than 32? I do have superfetch on for both installs - could it be this that is using the extra memory - preloading iTunes/CS3 apps maybe?
