ThinkPad W701: Win7 Ultimate x64 suddenly only saw 8GB RAM of 16GB (via: [H]ard|Forum)
Posted by jpluimers on 2013/04/10
This recently happened to me, but not sure when it started:
My ThinkPad W701 had 16GB of RAM, and everything worked fine for about 2 years, but now the BIOS and Windows only saw 8GB of it.
The odd thing: SpeedFan would see 4 memory modules of 4 gigabyte each for a total of 16 gigabyte.
This solution helped:
the easiest (and most embarrassing) fix worked – just took out the new RAM sticks and re-seated them into different sockets instantly fixed the problem.

Delphi + ADO + dBase – Stack Overflow
Posted by jpluimers on 2013/04/10
For my research queue:
I should look at the below ConnectionStrings to access dBase with ADO from Delphi, If I ever need to do that.
Thanks Cromulent for asking, Nelson for editing and Pieter for answering:
Microsoft dBase ODBC driver
Driver={Microsoft dBASE Driver (*.dbf)};DriverID=277;OLE DB Services = -1;Extended Properties=dBase IV;Dbq=c:\mypathdoing operations like ADOTable1.Open are very fast (good) but GetIndexNames returns nothing (bad).
Microsoft Jet OLEDB 4.0 driver
Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Extended Properties=dBASE IV;OLE DB Services=-1;Data Source=c:\mypathdoing operations like ADOTable1.Open are exceedingly slow (bad) while GetIndexNames does return index names the way it should (good).
How do I get both speed and the index info via ADO for the dBase tables?
Microsoft Paradox Driver 7.x
“We use the following connection string which works really well.”
Provider=MSDASQL.1;Persist Security Info=False;Extended Properties="Driver={Microsoft Visual FoxPro Driver};UID=;SourceDB=c:\mypath;SourceType=DBF;Exclusive=No;BackgroundFetch=Yes;Collate=Machine;Null=Yes;Deleted=Yes;"
