A few Neo4 questions (-5V still needed for onboard creative?)

My brother is upgrading his machine and I've been dealt the task of choosing his components . I've been scouring these forums and the PCP ones trying read up as much as possible on the Neo4 and am trying to figure out if this board still has the -5V problems with the onboard Sound Blaster. From what I read the boards shipping now have had this problem fixed, but older ones in the beginning had this problem. Has this issue actually been resolved now?
Is there any noticable difference between the Neo4 SLI and the Neo4 Platinum SLI? (I'll be buying either the SLI or Plat SLI in about 5 months or so myself.)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813130487 (Plat SLI)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813130492 (regular SLI)
Seems like the regular SLI is missing a few SATA ports, and that's it (perhaps some other minor differences I'm not seeing).
I may end up going with this board for him instead.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813130484
However, he's stated that he wants the better onboard sound, but if he was stuck with this board, he'd buy an Audigy2 or something (but this adds another $100 or so to his total).
The differences between the SLI boards and vanilla Neo4 (with the exception of the onboard Creative) seem minimal at best. I don't see any glaring differences that stands out.

Man, I wish we had a definitive answer from MSI. I read this thread earlier today:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=e0a58bd39846e41ae63a3f38ebf05ecd&topic=80078.0
According to a few people in this thread, the newer boards don't have the -5V requirement. It looks like I'll be going with the regular SLI Neo4, but I may get one of the PSUs in this thread instead of the Antec I wanted to buy (bought Antec for who knows how long, it's just my preferred brand, much like MSI ). I just don't want my brother to get screwed over and find out the PSU I picked has issues with newer tech down the line.
[EDIT:] And then there's this thread here which says that newer boards don't have the -5V requirement.
http://forums.pcper.com/showthread.php?t=387607&highlight=creative
It's driving me nuts I tell you.
[EDIT2:] Found another one.

I'm crossing my fingers that this issue has been fixed. :P

Temporary wim-files for multicast transmissions still needed for WDS installation in Server 2012 R2?

Acording to
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn281955.aspx one of the new features for WDS in Server 2012 R2 for multicast is:
Improved multicast deployment by eliminating the need for making a local copy of the install.wim file. You can apply the install.wim file while it is being downloaded without significant impact to the application process.
However, this doesn't seem to be activated by default and I still get the following error when installing one or more machines using multicast:
"Windows Setup cannot locate a valid hard drive to store temporary installation files." However, once I remove Multicast from this install image, it installs without any problems at all.
I have also noticed that while multicasting, the installation will use the "Copying Windows files" phase, while downloading and copying the install.wim (or whatever name it is) locally on the hard drive first, so this will require lots of space.
So the question is, how do you enable this new feature that should be a part of WDS in Server 2012 R2???

Full version:
Following steps could help enable the feature:
1. Mount the boot image using dism.
e.g.
>dism /mount-wim /wimfile:c:\remoteinstall\boot\x64\images\boot.wim /index:2 /mountdir:c:\mount
2. Create a metadata file if no existing one. The metadata file should be in mountdir from the first step under mountdir\sources. And the file name should be: WdsClientMetadata.txt
3. Add entry to the metadata file: WDS.Client.Multicast.WIM.Streaming.Enabled=true
4. Save changes and unmount the boot image
e.g.
>dism /unmounts-wim /mountdir:c:\mount /commit
Sorry for the late reply, but I had to test this thoroughly since I didn't get it working right away. I tried both the regedit you first mentioned, and later also creating a textfile in the "/index:2 boot.wim", both without any success. I noticed
that creating the sources\WdsClientMetadata.txt with the data "WDS.Client.Multicast.WIM.Streaming.Enabled=true" gives me an error upon booting into WDS as follows (EUFI/IPv6-boot):
Same happens if I boot using IPv4 (an non-UEFI boot), except that there would be a plain IPv4-address instead in the error msg. Just for troubleshooting I tried writing WDS.Client.Multicast.WIM.Streaming.Enabled=false in the file instead, and WDS would throw
me the exact same error message. Once I delete the file sources\WdsClientMetadata.txt from the WDS/Boot image, the client boots ok, both for IPv4/IPv6. Disabling the firewall on the WDS didn't help, so something in the configuration is still missing? I'm getting
to a dead end here, and I suppose you're all out of advice on this one?
Thank you Shaon Shan for your great effort so far.

Few Mac questions and I need some answers

Hello guys,
I'm considering to buy a new Mac and I have a few questions:
1. Whats better a Macbook Pro or iMac?
I prefer desktops but notebooks are still useful. plus,I already have a notebook.
I just don't know whats better and well-priced than the other, aside from the fact that one is a desktop and the other is a mobile laptop!
2. Can I return a Mac if I don't like it?
3. Do I get any kind of worldwide warranty specially in Saudi Arabia?
because I'm going to buy it form Canada
4. Can I get Arabic characters on the keyboard from Apple.ca as an additional option?!
5. Should I wait for a newer Mac or a better deal?
any news or rumors for 2010?!
Thank you all
chillinmango
* Note: if this post isn't in the correct forum section, feel free to move this

As for #1...better for what? What do you plan on doing with it. For example, a MacBook are often touted as "bulletproof" and might be better if you're planning on taking the computer with you as you hike through Europe knowing it might get dinged and banged around a bit. But if you want to do high-end graphics and videos, then you probably want a pro.
Is it for taking notes while in college or for work at an architectural firm? What will you be doing with it? Also, have you checked out both in person? Because, as said, there is also a matter of taste involved (assuming that cost is not that big an issue).

Newbie question II - Still need help........

Thanks! But I'm still lost.....
Here's my entire program...
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class Lab10 extends Applet implements ActionListener {
private Button plusOne;
private Button minusOne;
private Button reset;
int buttonCount=0;
private Color myColor = Color.blue;
//Color myColor = Color.red;
public void init() {
Button plusOne=new Button ("Increase count by one");
add(plusOne);
plusOne.addActionListener(this);
Button minusOne=new Button ("Decrease count by one");
add(minusOne);
minusOne.addActionListener(this);
Button reset=new Button ("Reset the count");
add(reset);
reset.addActionListener(this);
add(plusOne);
add(minusOne);
add(reset);
}//end of init
public void paint(Graphics g){
g.setColor(myColor);
g.drawString("The count is:"+buttonCount+".",50,50);
}//end of paint

myColor=Color.red;}
}//end of else
}//end of if
}//end of actionPerformed
}//end of class Lab10
I'd appreciate any help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Still getting the variable g error too!
Thanks

Hi!
In the actionPerformed method, you are trying to access a variable named "g" which is only accesible by the paint method. The point is that you CANT use g on actionPerformed.
To solve your problem, just delete the line where it says:
" g.setColor(myColor); "
Also take the semicolon out on every "if clause", like this one:
" if (e.getSource()==plusOne); { "
and finally...
after the line:
" myColor=Color.blue; "
just type:
repaint();
That way, you will call the paint method automatically, which is exactly what you need.
It should look like this:
if (e.getSource()==plusOne)
buttonCount=buttonCount+1;
//g.setColor(myColor);
myColor=Color.blue;
repaint();
Ok, that should do it. Take care and hope it works!!

Easy questions, but still need help!

The first question is how do I change a ring tone? I have been able to change the ring tone before, but sometimes the ring tone doesn't even play. Instead of a ring tone playing, I get the phone vibrating. Is there something I must disable for the ring tone to play? Also, is there a way to change text messages alert as well? I also get vibrate on that one.
The 2nd question is about the camera. When I take a photo on the camera, the image comes out distorted. Not the real image, but the preview of it. It seems stretched out. I think that's actually how it's suppose to be, but is there a way to change that?
3rd question: is there a way I can add an e-mail to the address book? To text images to my e-mail mostly. If so, would they charge me for that (am thinking if texting to your e-mail is considered using internet or something like that).

1st question, go to "profiles" it should look like a speaker. Select which one you want. If you choose loud it will vibrate for a second and then ring.
2nd question, my camera sucks so I have never even really used it. As much as I love my phone, the camera is the worst. Sorry, can't help you there.
3rd question, click on the contact you want to add the additional email to, select menu, edit, then menu again, choose "add email address" and type it in.
I hope this helps.

Is premium still needed for group video calls?

Wired mouse still needed for emergencies?

I bought my iMac with wired mouse and keyboard but later bought the bluetooth ones. Very nice. It appears I can do away with the wired keyboard, but there are circumstances when the BT Mighty Mouse does not work, such as when booted from a system disk (OS X install DVD). At those times I have to get out the old mouse and plug it in. I reckon the wireless mouse should work at all times, or forget about it.

Hi Jeffrey Shaw-
I actually have a wired keyboard in addition to a mouse.
Just in case.

What type of hard drive do I need for a Creative Zen Vision

Hey everybody.
I have a Creative Zen Vision:M, and unfortunately after dropping it, the hard drive has decided to pack up!
I have decied to replace the hard dri've, but wondered which hard dri'ves are compatible with the Zen Vision:M? I know the hard drive is a .8" drive, but that's all I know what to look for so far...
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi,
It uses a standard 2.5" HDD. You can find them around in any good computer shop. You can use larger (capacity) as well. If you wish to find exactly the same one please try:
(a) Open Device Manager,
(b) Expand Disk drives item
You can see brand and model of the current HDD on your computer. If it failed already, pull it out and check.
Regards.

Drivers for onboard Creative so

I have Soundblaster Li've! 24-bit onboard sound. Are the drivers available from Creative suitable for the onboard version of the chip or would I be better off going with the drivers available from the motherboard manufacturer(MSI) even though they are a bit older than the ones from Creative?

Go Manufacturer all the way, pal.

Weird question, but it needs to be ask ( sorry )

My friend bought a G5 dual 2.5 not the new one
and i was there 2days ago to set it up, as i checked the specs of the mac it seems to be abit different from mine
mine has ATI Radeon 9600 XT for the graphic card and his is GeForce FX 5200
which one is better, i know mine came with the mac orginal so its safe but why is it the same mac with two different specs
and do you think the person that sold the G5 change the card?
its not a good place to ask this question but its needed for logic as well
because his logic crash straight on the first launch and aperture isn't working on his it says
WARNING:
The installed graphics card does not meet the minimum requirements for Aperture.
his applications crash more often than mine on the same day
we both got almost the same setup
G5 dual 2.5Ghz 3gb of rams and 2x21 inches LCD flat screens
different interface, he is using the built in I'm using M-audio 1010LT
this really serious
and also to anyone that didn't buy the original mac from the shops please check the specs
you might be going through the same thing as him
thanks alot
stash

Stash,
Check the RAM in the machine. If there is aftermarket RAM in there, it could be causing a problem. Run the Apple Hardware Test. Also, the GeForce card is the barebones card that ships with the machines. At least, it was the barebones with my dual 1.8. Not nearly enough for Aperture, I don't think. I run a lot of Motion on my machine and had to upgrade to a better ATI Radeon 9800 Mac Edition with 256MB in order to start getting any type of smooth workflow.
The graphics card shouldn't affect Logic, obviously, but it would explain the Aperture problem.
Check the RAM!!

Additional BlackBerry service from provider still needed???

Hi. There I aske my provider (T-Mobile Germany) if the additional BlackBerry service you had to rent for the "classic" smarphones like my Bold 9700 is still needed for the z10. The gal at the phone didn't know.
Do you???
Solved!

Hello,
It is confirmed that BIS is not required for BB10. But, beyond that there remain many differences and things continue to change. The carriers must re-work their networks in order to continue to support legacy as well as BB10 devices, since they each work so differently. In that process, there have been many different reports.
Some report their carrier telling them they must keep BIS active on their Z10 until the carrier finishes their reconfiguration, at which time BIS can be dropped. Others report that they can get no services on their Z10 if BIS is at all active with their carrier for their device. Still others report services (both legacy as well as BB10) stopping, starting, stopping again, then starting again.
All in all, you need to talk to your specific carrier...they control what is required on their network as well as how their network is configured.
Good luck!

Do i still need to buy it, even though I have mountain lion for a few weeks now?

Do I still need to buy Mountain Lion, even though I have the beta version now? And if so, will it let me upgrade it?

Where did you get it?
If via the Apple Develeoper Connection or AppleSeed, and you have build 12A269, you don't need to do anything.
If you got it elsewhere, you may also have malware.

All my technology needs are now met with my iPad Air. Do I still need a computer for syncing etc?

All my technology needs are now met with my iPad Air. Do I still need a computer?

Only you can make that decision. If you say that all of your computer needs are met, then you have answered the question yourself.
I would never rely totally on iCloud for backups. I want more control than what Apple has to offer with iCloud and I don't want to have to pay for the storage that I need as the content on my iPad continues to grow. I realize that I had to buy the computer, as well, but I can backup my iPad to iTunes, backup my iTunes library with Time Machine and backup other files with another external drive that I have connected to my MacBook Pro.
I just don't trust all of my content being in the cloud or in Aplple's servers. Just a matter of choice.
