Just recently bought more ram for my powermac g5 - (specs at end of post)
If anything it seems slower when using Final Cut Studio. When I view my activity monitor while rendering etc, it rarely shows a decent amount of RAM being used to process.
My question-- I noticed my newly installed ram is 30440 and the older/original ram is 30330
Is this a problem?
Also, I have the ram installed in pairs- but they are in different sizes.
One 256mb pair (30330)
One 512mb pair (30330)
and one 1gb pair (30440)
Under system profile, it says all dimms are 'ok' and it registers 3 .5 something gigs of ram
I've since taken everything out but the 2 1gb pair to see if it speeds up, so far nothing drastically noticeable. Perhaps a hair faster than when I had the 256's and 512's in there as well.
Please advise/help!
