Upgrading from single CPU to dual ?

Hey,
With the multi-threaded OpenGL enabled by leopard on powerPC macs i was thinking of replacing the single 1.25 GHz CPU with a stock dual 1.25 GHz to improve performance in World of Warcraft. Any idea what if any i would gain in performance ?
Getting a mac pro is around 2 years off for me and i could pick up a dual CPU for a relatively cheap price.
Thanks

OK, I did a quick check of a technical manual.
You need to check the fabrication number on the logic board.
It's right next to the SLOT 5 PCI slot, the one farthest from the RAM slots.
It'll be of the format APPLE COMPUTER INC. 820-1308-A or similar number.
If it's 820-1308, 820-1440, or 820-1445, you can't just replace the CPU, there's a compatability issue between those logic boards and replacement CPU's (unless the CPU comes from a logic board with one of those fabrication levels. Apple recommends ordering a replacement logic board, CPU (part number 661-3654).
Otherwise you should be fine, although I'm concerned about taking a dual CPU from an MDD that pre-dates your single 1.25GHz G4 by a whole year.
When you get to dual CPU there may be some updates that need to be applied, I'm remembering a fix that disables one CPU on shutdown since having two active caused clock issues. Could have been part of a general OSX fix though.

  • Configuration from Single Controller to Dual in SE 3510

    Hi,
    I have one Sun StorEdge 3510 with single controller. I am not trying to configure the controller with dual controller card. As soon as I insert second controller card I am not able to see the LUN from Solaris 10. Please advice what all changes I require to do while configuring from Single Controller to dual controller.
    Thanks in Advance.

    I dont think there is any difference in Callmanager software for a dual processor versus single processor server. For 7845 (dual processor) the hardware detection disks may be different from the one for single processor (7825, 7835)
    Migrating from one to another is as easy as taking a BARS backup from one server, build the other server to the same version and restore it. (Make sure server name and ip are the same for both servers)

  • Migrating from single processor to dual processor Callmanager

    Hi Networkers,
    had anyone install a Callmanager 4.1 dual processor version of CM4.1-K9-X345D= before in a single CPU in a dual processor capable server before.
    Can it work in the first place?
    Had anyone successfully migrate it to a dual-processor later on?

  • Upgrade from Single Edition to Professional

    We have just upgraded to Professional from Single Edition. When we submit our folio (for iPhone) to the App Builder we are asked for a Title ID and password. We put our Adobe ID and password and only got: “Bundle account has no publication“
    This is now the standard message we get, even if we are only updating older Single edition apps!!
    We need an answer to this problem a.s.a.p
    ... Help please.
    thank you,
    Yngvi

    Yes, you need a different Adobe ID for each app you create. That's how you determine which folios you publish appear in which apps. You might want to read the getting started guide for pro publishers.

  • Rebuild our XI application server from Single stack to dual stack

    Hello,
    We currently have an XI landscape with two application servers, the CI is of course a dual stack system, however the two app servers are single stacked, however we would like to make the two app servers into DUAL STACKs, my first guess was to rebuild the two apps from scratch and reinstall them as a dual stack apps. My Q is:
    First: Do we need to rebuild both app servers, or can we make a change to the app servers to modify them to become dual stacked
    Second: If we do need to rebuild both these apps, is there a specific document available to do this on Market place for installing a Dual stack app servers with PI?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    Thank you all for your feedback,
    Denny Liao, it is very interesting question you implied, we do have a J2EE directory created under the /usr/sap/SID/D30 directory:
    /usr/sap/XQ9/D30
    mqaapz28:xq9adm 13% ls -ltr
    total 36
    drwxr-xr-x   7 xq9adm   sapsys        96 Aug 24  2009 igs
    drwxr-xr-x   9 xq9adm   sapsys      1024 Aug 24  2009 j2ee
    drwxr-xr-x   2 xq9adm   sapsys      1024 Nov 11  2009 sec
    drwxr-xr-x   3 xq9adm   sapsys      1024 Nov 24 10:48 log
    obviously this app server does not have any (jlaunch/jcontrol process running) therefore it is not running as dual stacked. but interestingly enough I do see logs in the
    /usr/sap/XQ9/D30/j2ee/cluster/server0/log directory created at the time of the initial install. and under:
    /usr/sap/XQ9/D30/j2ee/cluster
    mqaapz28:xq9adm 29% ls -ltr
    total 30
    drwxr-xr-x   2 xq9adm   sapsys      1024 Aug 24  2009 bootstrap
    -rw-rr   1 xq9adm   sapsys        39 Aug 24  2009 version.bin
    -rw-rr   1 xq9adm   sapsys      6339 Aug 24  2009 instance.properties.vmprop
    -rw-rr   1 xq9adm   sapsys      3676 Aug 26  2009 instance.properties
    drwxr-xr-x   7 xq9adm   sapsys      1024 Aug 26  2009 dispatcher
    drwxr-xr-x  11 xq9adm   sapsys      1024 Aug 26  2009 server0
    as per the note you mentioned above (741289 ) this explains how to recover a lost J2EE parameter setup, I am guessing this can be simply followed and re-enable the app server to run as a dual stack.
    also my system information for the J2EE on the CI is:

  • Upgrading from single processor to multi processor

    I am looking for information on upgrading a 7.3 Oracle from a
    single processor to a multi processor. I will be putting in
    another processor in my server and would like to know how to get
    Oracle to use this second processor. I know that I need to
    upgrade Windows NT to multiprocessor first but what do I need to
    do after that with Oracle.

    I'm not certain why that would be the wrong boards. I guess HP has the wrong boards posted on their product's support site at the link below.

  • Delete and Re-install after upgrade from single app to full cloud suite?

    Hi,  I recenly upgraded to the full creative cloud membership from a single app subscription of Illustrator last month.
    I opened an illustrator file today from the single app installation and recieved a warning that I no longer have access to the program. Do I need to delete this version of illusrtrator and re-install from my new creative cloud suite membership?  Or is there a way to register the current downloaded version of Illustrator with my new full suite subscription?
    Thanks for the help

    Hi bella1439402,
    You don't need to uninstall illustrator from your computer.
    You can simply launch the program ---> it will give you a pop up that your subscription is expired or the trial is expired ---> in the same window there will be a button 'License this software' ---> click on 'License this software'
    ---> Sign in with your Adobe Id on whihc you have the full creative cloud subscription ---> your subscription will be activated.
    You can install rest of the products.
    Thanks

  • I wonder why Adobe does not offer upgrades from single products to packages.

    I am strictly a hobbiest with Photoshop, I wish i was going to school to get the school versions but the fact is I am not,
    I purchased my CS5 extended directly from adobe's web site paying full price. I use it almost daily to basicly play, I make things for people in 3d games, I create thing just for the heck of it, i try to do what other people are having issues doing on forums just to see if i can figure it out but mostly I play around and learn. I learn all kind of tricks and wonderfull effects by the real pros. The fine folks That post on these forums and other websites. All thats nice and all but the fact remains I am just a novice artest..  that plays around for the joy of creativity and nothing more.
    Now comes the dilemma, I was thinking about playing around with some of the other products Adobe offers and open up my creativity further. Thinking the master collection would give me access to many many things I have never played with.  Now $2600 is a lot of money to throw at something that well is not my job, i don't make any money on and its strictly a hoby for me, But  hobbies being what they are cost money too so I was considering it none the less since I already put out 1000 on Photoshop.
    The issue is, there is no upgrade path from a single product to a packaged product. So even tho I just paid $1000 for the full version of CS5 extended directly from their website, if I would like to get the master collection, rather then say a $1600 upgrade to master,  I would have to pay the full $2600 price for it. They offered a 15%, $390 discount, Thats nice and all but $390 is $600 short of what I paid for the software to begin with and i really don't need 2 copies of photoshop cs 5 extended. I don't think its transferable the original licence, maybe it is .... anyway.  Adobe keeps very tight reigns on their licencing its not like they could not upgrade or void the original licence and issue a new one for MC especially for online sales.
    Just does not make any sense to me not to offer an upgrade path from individual componants to larger packages.  Even Microsoft has package upgrade paths online so they track the licencing...
    Anyway
    /rant off
    Happy New Year everyone!

    You can get a special price from individual products to a Suite Collection - except for the Master Collection. The Master Collection is an "everything but the squeal" edition, with all the components, both graphic and video production.
    If you set your sights a little lower, there are indeed upgrade specials. From Photoshop CS5 Extended the Adobe Store prices for various collections are
    $850 Design Standard combines Adobe Photoshop® CS5, Illustrator® CS5, InDesign® CS5, and Acrobat® 9 Pro.
    $1100 Production Premium combines Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 (with Adobe OnLocation™ CS5 and Encore® CS5), After Effects CS5, Photoshop® CS5 Extended, Illustrator® CS5, Flash® Catalyst™ CS5, Flash Professional CS5, and Soundbooth® CS5.
    $1400 Adobe Creative Suite® 5 Web Premium software combines Dreamweaver CS5, Flash Catalyst CS5, Flash Professional CS5, Flash Builder 4 Standard, Photoshop® CS5 Extended, Illustrator® CS5, Acrobat® 9 Pro, Fireworks® CS5, and Contribute® CS5.
    $1500 Adobe Creative Suite® Design Premium software combines Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended, Illustrator CS5, InDesign CS5, Flash Catalyst CS5, Flash Professional CS5, Dreamweaver® CS5, Fireworks® CS5, and Acrobat® 9 Pro.
    Just for reference, "Master Collection combines Adobe Photoshop® CS5 Extended, Illustrator® CS5, InDesign® CS5, Acrobat® 9 Pro, Flash® Catalyst™ CS5, Flash Professional CS5, Flash Builder™ 4 Standard, Dreamweaver® CS5, Fireworks® CS5, Contribute® CS5, Adobe Premiere® Pro CS5 (with Adobe OnLocation™ CS5 and Encore® CS5), After Effects® CS5, Soundbooth® CS5, and more."
    Be aware that if you get a collection, you are locked in to upgrading the entire collection when the time comes, you can't upgrade just one application. I skipped CS3 for that reason (not enough new features in every application), and will likely pass on CS5 (due to the economy).
    In my opinion, the best deal is the Production Premium, if you're willing to give up Dreamweaver (and InDesign, but Illustrator can take care of a lot of that). I personally use the Design Premium collection. I started with the "Creative Suite Premium Collection", but Adobe phased that out, but offered an uprgarde path from that to the Design Premium. I actually received that as a gift, and the person who gave it to me always asks, "Do you use that software a lot? It was expensive, you know."

  • Upgrade from single application to full suite membership

  • Upgrade from single folio to multiple folio

    If i have a single folio app of a title running with creative cloud and the client decides to turn it into a periodical can i upgrade it to multi folio. Obviously for this i would have to take out dps professional edition in order to have multiple folios but just wanted to know if it is possible to change once i have created an ipad app.

    yes no reasons not to be able to do that, but just make sure that the content in the single issue, is available to view when you re-submit as a multi issue.

  • Seeking guidance on upgrading from single drive to RAID on XServe

    Hi,
    I'd be grateful for any guidance anyone can give me on upgrading my XServe to a RAID.
    My 2GHz G5 XServe runs 10.3 and has a single 80GB drive. It's been running for 3 years providing mail, web sites (around 100) and around 10 java applications for that time without any trouble. However, I'd like to get it running on a mirrored RAID array (RAID1).
    Is it possible to backup the existing disk to a FW drive. Insert a new disk, format the old and new disk as a RAID1 setup, then restore the previous OS setup, user, mail, web sites, applications etc?
    I've got this server running very sweetly, it's extremely reliable but I'm worried about the disk failing.
    I've read other posts here that have described trying to do this but that the old backup may overwrite low level RAID1 formatting upon restore. Any thoughts on how I can avoid that?
    Kind Regards,
    Chris.

    Hi Chris
    I’ve never done it that way because of the potential problems you describe. Perhaps some of the other guys have a way of making that method reliable. Seeing as you have an XServe why don’t you buy two drives instead of one? They are cheap enough nowadays. 2x250GB SATA drives should do.
    I would target disk mode the server to a laptop for example and prep your RAID Mirror that way. Restore using DU or clone using CCCloner to the new RAID, restart and test. This way if you hit any problems you will still have a working server on your original drive. Plan on 40mins to an hour downtime.
    Hope this helps – Tony
