2GB to 4GB: Will there be improvement?

I have a 2GHz C2D Mac Mini with 2GB of RAM. It's been working fine but I've been using Aperture lately and it brings the machine to its knees. Barring getting a new Mac, if I went to 4GB, will there be a noticeable improvement?
I know about the issue of addressing 3GB, so I'm fine w/ the 'wasted' 1GB as long as I see a performance improvement. Just trying to figure out if this is worth the investment.

Oh, and IMHO, a nice big external desktop Firewire HDD, 7200RPM or higher, will trump any internal HDD you put in the Mini, no matter how big and fast. The power and speed of a desktop HDD will even cancel out the fact that the FW port is slower than the internal SATA. A friend of mine actually took the time to measure it, and found this to be true.
An internal SSD could be even faster, but they are simply not cost effective, plus you have to use an external for storage anyway, since a 500GB SSD will set you back at least a grand. If you have that kind of money to spend, you are better off with a Mac Pro, bro'!

Will there performance improvement over separate tables vs single table with multiple partitions?

Will there performance improvement over separate tables vs single table with multiple partitions? Is advisable to have separate tables than having a single big table with partitions? Can we expect same performance having single big table with partitions? What is the recommendation approach in HANA?

Suren,
first off a friendly reminder: SCN is a public forum and for you as an SAP employee there are multiple internal forums/communities/JAM groups available. You may want to consider this.
Concerning your question:
You didn't tell us what you want to do with your table or your set of tables.
As tables are not only storage units but usually bear semantics - read: if data is stored in one table it means something else than the same data in a different table - partitioned tables cannot simply be substituted by multiple tables.
Looked at it on a storage technology level, table partitions are practically the same as tables. Each partition has got its own delta store & can be loaded and displaced to/from memory independent from the others.
Generally speaking there shouldn't be too many performance differences between a partitioned table and multiple tables.
However, when dealing with partitioned tables, the additional step of determining the partition to work on is always required. If computing the result of the partitioning function takes a major share in your total runtime (which is unlikely) then partitioned tables could have a negative performance impact.
Having said this: as with all performance related questions, to get a conclusive answer you need to measure the times required for both alternatives.

Will there be any improvements made to how Photoshop handles pixel dimensions on a Retina display?

I'm a web designer and I still use Photoshop to mockup, to a certain extent the design of my websites. I find it frustrating however that when I make the mockup, it appears half-size in Photoshop. I have to double the size of everything to make it "appear" as it would in browser. Will there be anything done in future versions of Photoshop to make this a little less painful. I have to zoom in right now on normal sized templates which makes everything pixelated. It's annoying when you do this all day long. Maybe this has been discussed before. Sorry if I'm late to the party.

I think I have a workaround: Make sure the clipboard settings are on 72 by cutting and pasting a 72 dpi file in PS, as it seems Illustrator images are seen that way, no matter what the output resolution is. Click on Photoshop and start a new document. It will retain the proportions of the Illustrator image in 72 dpi. Then open image size and make sure the resample box is checked. Change the resolution to the desired, in my case 200.. Then place and crop your photo, and save the PSD file. Open Illustrator and place the PSD file. This works for me.

Installing memory (iMac mid-2011) - mixing 2gb and 4gb

Hey!
I'm soon getting my first iMac and it comes with the stock 4gb memory. As there will be two empty slots, I'd like to install 2x4gb Kingstons to get 12gb. My question is, does it matter in which slots I put the new ones or is there a certain way it has to be done? For example, should they be like this:
4gb    2gb
4gb    2gb
or
4gb    4gb
2gb    2gb
Thanks! I'd really appreciate any help.

4gb    2gb
4gb    2gb
or
4gb    4gb
2gb    2gb
Absolutely the second one. They should be matched horizontally. You could also reverse the order on the second one:
2 gb   2 gb
4 gb   4 gb

Will upgrading ram improve speed in Mac and windows (VMware fusion)?

I Am using VMware fusion for music production and that program requires a lot of workspace. I have a MacBook Pro 4gb ram and when I turn VMware on it goes to 2 gb ram in Mac and 2 gb ram in windows. My Mac speed is normal when VMware fusion is turned off but when I turn it on my Mac is very slow. Will upgrading ram improve speed in mac and also in windows (windows is also very slow)
Btw my english isn't very good

Adding RAM only makes it possible to run more programs concurrently. It doesn't speed up the computer nor make games run faster. What it can do is prevent the system from having to use disk-based VM when it runs out of RAM because you are trying to run too many applications concurrently or using applications that are extremely RAM hungry. It will improve the performance of applications that run mostly in RAM or when loading programs.
In your case it will most likely help. You should plan on at least 8 GBs or more, depending upon what your model supports.

Will there be an iPod touch 5th generation 8gb? If so when?

Will there be an iPod touch 5th generation 8gb? If so when?

Siri really does little on the iPod itself. All teh work in done on Apple's servers. Siri would run fin on an 8GB (about 6 GB available to the user). However, with a 5 MP camera, and especially 1080P video recording, 6 GB ort usable storage would not allow muck recording. The 1080P video will be about 180 MB/min.

Will there be a t550p?

Will there ever be a T550p? or is the T550 all that we get in the T5** series for 2015?
Since the T550 is much less powerful than the t540, is there any point in waiting for a more powerful T5**, or should I just get a w541 (for almost the same $ as a T540p w/ i5-4330, Win7 Pro, FHD screen, Nvidia GeForce GT730m, 4GB ram, 500GB HDD, 6-cell battery, 65w AC adapter, no fingerprint reader or camera, no smart card reader)?
Thanks.

AFAIK, everyone's waiting for Intel to drop the high-power quad core Broadwells, which might be later in 2015 or early 2016.

When will there be an update for RAW files from the new Olympus OM-D E-M10 for Lightroom 4?

Hello there,
when will there be an update for Lightroom 4 which provides the option to import RAW-files from the Olympus OM-D E-M10 directly into LR4?

Lightroom 5.0 came out in June 2013 with a public beta for LR5 available at Adobe Labs back in April 2013. It seems you may have been unlucky purchasing the old version just before the new version came out, or perhaps LR5 required a minimum OS level your computer didn’t have.
Purchasing a new version every year isn’t necessary, but you do have to buy a new version whenever you buy an unsupported camera.
Adobe employees need to get paid just like the rest of us, and their releasing a new payfor version every so often is how they get paid.
Never mind that the new version has improvements beyond new camera support, so there was a full development-release-training-marketing effort behind it.
The upgrade price is cheaper than the full purchase price and if you want Photoshop capabilities, there is a LR+PS Photographer’s Bundle that is half the price of purchasing Photoshop, itself:

Will there be a lighter version of FF4 for XP users?

I have tried Firefox 4, and it crushes everytime I close it, I agree it is faster, but the rest of my PC is much slower. It is also very greedy in terms of resources, and often crushes when I have several tabs open. I'm back to the older version of FF (3.6.17); I'm currently using WinXP.
Will there be a lighter version of FF4 for XP users?
Thank you.

No, Firefox 4 is finished. Other than security updates that's all there is of Firefox 4. Firefox 5 is slated for a June release.
I'm having no such problems with WinXP on an AMD64 2.2GHz processor with 2GB RAM. How does your hardware measure up?
Have you tried a fresh Profile?

2Gb vs 4Gb

Is the RAID controller in an Xserve RAID chassis 2Gb max?
We're using 2Gb SFPs at the moment, but have just received a consignment of 4Gb types.
Would there be any advantage in fitting the faster SFPs in the drive arrays?

Hi VTmaint,
Since the xraid does not support 4 Gb it does not make sence to put such an sfp in.
The xraid's throughput is in practise much slower than the 2Gb FC port. There is not much to expect from such an upgrade anyway.
You can use the 4Gb's sfp on the host though. You can connect to multiple xraid luns and get a higher throughput (through a FC switch).

Donald

I just got my nano 6th generation, and i wonder if i use mi nike sport kit, i will have an improvement ?

For anyone following, I looked further into the tape cassette adapter and it seems to get the best reviews vs. FM transmitter. Guess there is a good reason that I have the last year model with a tape cassette. Worth mentioning is the Maxell one gets a better review than the Monter one. Not sure why, but it's cheaper. Anyone else find a good quality tape cassette adapter?

Upgraded from 2gb to 4gb of RAM and now my Imac freezes up all the time.

I have a 2009 model Imac and I upgraded from 2gb to 4gb but now after about 20 minutes of the computer being on it will freeze up randomly. It could be 20 mins - 3 hours of use before it freezes up. I did my research and I'm didn't get any RAM my Imac couldn't handle...so I have NO idea what's wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

As old as it is have you cleaned out the dust? Dust buildup can lead to over heating issues. Remove any and all things plugged into it including the power cord, Remove the RAM access grille. Vacuum all openings starting with the RAM access area (air intake). Vacuum all ports and plugs, DVD slot and the opening across the top of the rear of the body. Blow compressed air through all your openings and vacuum again to remove any dust you loosend. Reinstall the RAM grille. Plug in the keyboard and mouse if not blue tooth. Insert power cord...
You are now in a perfect position to do a

Will there be a fix for Firefox's problems with Hotmail. I have gone back to 3.5.9 but mostly I am disappointed by the lack of action on this serious problem where a major and critical feature of a major international website is unavailable in the Firefox browser.

We've reached out to the Hotmail team and they've determined that this is a bug in their code. (It was masked by a timing issue in 3.5 that was fixed in 3.6.) We've worked with them to develop a fix but they may not have deployed it yet.

I am going to buy unlocked iphone 5.. i will be going to india nxt months and will stay there for a while... so my question is will i get warrenty in india.. and will there be any problem with using indian sims..?? thnx for the help..

The warranty for the iPhone is not and has never been International.
Warranty and support are ONLY valid in the country of origin. The only exception is the EU where the entire EU is treated as one country.
If the device will be used in India, buy it in India.
An unlocked iPhone will work on any supported GSM carrier world wide. The LTE portion of a US purchased, unlocked iPhone is unlikely to work outside North America as it does not support the appropriate bands used in other countries.

HT4325 Will there be a point in time when I can multiple speaker play to my Air devices, and my AppleTvs? Or do I need redundant Air @ the tv too?

Background
I drank the coolaid and have a MacMini command center along with all my PC's and Wifi and this and that.
I have a few Airport expresses in random locations.. bathroom.. kitchen... I also have an Apple Tv in the fam room, and bedroom.
From the Mac I see I can play songs in iTunes, click Multiple speakers, and choose all my AirExpress devices. However I cannot also mutiple to the AppleTvs. Of course I can AirPlay to a single tv, or a single AirExpress.
Question
Will there be a point in time where I can choose 'Multiple Speaker', and select all my home AirExpress class devices, and the AppleTv devices?
Current Infrastucture --- Will easily support my ambient musical desires.
     Mac Mini 2012, running 10.8.
     AirPort Expresses, newest generation.
     AppleTv 3's, 5.1 not the developer 5.1+ yet.
     Whole house each floor and exterior, one SSID wifi network, multiple bands, (cisco e3000)'s running dd-wrt with a backend WDU.
     Multiple Linksys (SRW208P)'s wired switching fabric, 802.1q and all that jazz.

Ok looks like the latest updates made this possible.
