Asus quad core upgrade

Hi. Quick question here: I'm looking to buy the Asus G51VX-RX05 gamer but would like to upgrade the CPU from the currnet duo core to a quad core. Anyone know if this is possible and, if so, how much extra?
Many thanks in advance.

The Asus G71GX is an amazing laptop in my opinion.

2011 MacBook Pro, 64 bit i7 quad core, upgraded to Lion OSx, Bootcamp installed with Windows 7, wanting to install Windows 8 (don't ask), tried downloading/installing bootcamp 5.0.5033 (both on the mac/windows partitions (actually using a parallel to run Windows)), error message something similar to bootcamp doesn't support this Windows
So the question is am I doing something wrong? Should I just try and install windows 8 through my windows 7 partition and see if I can use the bootcamp 5.05033. Or do I solely have to use the bootcamp to install Windows 8? I'm not too familiar with bootcamp and how it runs.

if you're using parallels and full bootcamp then you're making it 100% more troublesome for youself then it needs to be
bootcamp is running windows directly on the hardware this give full memory and cpu and 3d video game power
running windows in parallels is running a virtual machine where one can't run powerful games and the like but one can have it in a window and change fast between osx and windows
parallels as the only virutal machine (as far as I know) support not have the operating system as a file on the osx harddisk but can access a bootcamp parition as virtual machine but without the benefits bootcamps provides
it's a service parallels provide for those who want both to play games in normal bootcamp and sometimes use windows in a virutal machine
just install it like a normal virtual machine and you need not worry about bootcamp drivers and the likes
plus it would mean that the windows part would be a part of the timemachine bacup of osx
which it is not when it's in bootcamp

I just bought MacPro 15", i7, Quad-Core, upgraded to 8GB RAM. Its responding to slow to poen applications e.g. word, ppt, chrome etc. reboot is too slow. Dont think its working so fast. Dosenot seems to be worth to money paid. What to do?

Is is possible to install Win 2007 in MacPro (retina display) with USB (2.0 or 3.0) as new Mac retina display lacks DVD.

They have been calling their notebook a MacPro for a year. Or is it this?

Quad core upgrade.

Is it possible to upgrade a single quad core MacPro to a eight core? It is a 2.8Ghz single quad core mac pro.
Thanks,
Scott

Scott Yes but is not worth the trouble. Sell the single and buy a Dual. I have a single and if you do not
do video it is speedy enough (Macworld benchmarks).

Duo Core Vs Quad Core upgrade question

Looking for some solid answers on what improvements if any that a Quad Core (Q9650 3ghz) CPU would have ove a Duo Core (Q6850 3ghz) in Ppro CS4.Especially when it comes to AVCHD editing. Any thoughts as to this upgrade would be worth it?

Harm is correct, look at the Premiere Pro CS4 Benchmark (PPBM4) results and see the result for those two processors. While you do get a small incremental inprovement it probably is not with the cost.

SRE-9XX Quad Core upgrade and ESXi 5?

You've been given some misinformation.
RAM is the only thing in an iMac that IS user upgradeable/installable.
You cannot void the extended AppleCare installing your own RAM modules.
So, whoever told you this, has lied to you.
If you actually opened the iMac's face and attempted to do some other internal work, then yes, you would've voided the 3-year warranty.
But, opening the RAM access area and upgrading the RAM does NOT void the AppleCare warranty.
What type or manufacture of RAM was it?
Macs a very picky about the RAM that they need to use.
Here is the correct RAM specs for your model iMac.
Maximum Memory
16 GB
Memory Slots
4 - 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
Correct and reliable Mac RAM can be purchased from online Mac RAM sources Crucial memory or OWC (macsales.com).
Plus, whoever installed OS X 10.8 Mountain LIon on to this 2009 iMac should've done so.
OS X 10.8 is a download only OS and is forever tied to some other Apple ID other than your own Apple ID.
I do not use OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, but there should be a recovery partition that you can use to try and reinstall OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.
Hopefully, someone with more experience with OS X 10.8 will be able to better help you.
If you need a set of OS X restore discs, then order OS X 10.6.3 Snow Leopard from Apple here.
It is only $20 U.S.D.

W520 quad core - upgrade RAM to 32GB - Kingston vs. Crucial & 1.5V vs. 1.35V ?

hello all,
I'm about to upgrade my W520 memory from 16GB (4x4) to 32GB (4x8).
I need to choose between the two models (x2 of course):
1. Kingston SO-DIMM 16GB KIT DDR3 1600MHz HyperX CL9 Plug and Play (1.5V)
prod. code KHX16S9P1K2/16
I think this one is a well proven solution for such configuration and virtually fail-free (true?)
... and ...
2. Crucial SO-DIMM 16GB KIT DDR3 1600MHz CL9 Ballistix Sport (1.35V/1.50V, XMP)
prod. code BLS2C8G3N169ES4CEU
this is XMP, dual voltage version - can work at either at 1.35V or 1.5V
it would be nice to have slightly lower consuption and less heat, but I don't know if the machine is able to work at 1.35V memory wice;
and being XMP vs PnP - would it mean any hassle around with SPD and such?
does anybody have any experience or knowledge in this regard?
or which one would you recommend?
btw I'm not going to make any overclocking, etc ...
thank you
Stirri

I bought curical, they didnt work (constant BSOD), got a refund, bought the same samsung RAM as was already in there, worked a treat. Slightly more expensive, but I recommend getting samsung if you can.

Crazy to install CS2 on Quad Core 64 bit Windows 7 notebook?

I've been a video producer/director/editor since 1970 and have witnessed most all the progress and insanity of the "corporate wars" to dominate video production and later, video editing. I no longer see any reason to differentiate between still photography, video production, editing, web authoring, print production, graphics, CGI, CAD etc...ad nauseum. My dream has long been to have one very powerful laptop that could do most everything that a creative person desired on location anywhere in the world.
My new notebook is an ASUS Quad Core G71GX with 6 GB RAM - an Nvidia Geoforce GTX 260M - and 2 - 500 GB, 7200 rpm hard drives - Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit OS. These days I shoot most video using a Canon SX1 IS at 1080 30p and the files are playing back beautifully on the 1920x1400 display at full frame rate. So for me that covers the basics. I will be upgrading from Windows 7 Home Premium to Ultimate shortly. Does anyone have issues/questions about the platform?
As to the software . . . I have been using Adobe stuff for 20 years or so.but did not get into their video editing products until Premiere 6.5. Than I jumped in with both feet and became a beta tester for the CS2 video collection. I still have my complimentary Premiere Pro 2.0 and it still works on my older XP Pro notebooks.
But now we are here in 2010 and all the major PC platforms are running 64 bit Operating Systems and I just figure that I should hold out for a true 64 bit Master Collection [which many people call CS5]. In the meantime I decided to install my CS2 Creative Suite and Premiere Pro 2.0 just so I could have the benefit of these programs while I am waiting for the 64 bit to release.
I purchased my CS2 back in 2005 as a download and last night made the attempt to install it onto the ASUS. As expected the serial number did not work so I called Adobe Installation support and got started after they prompted me for the "challenge" code. When I entered it the installation began nicely UNTIL the first folder [CS_2.0_UE_Ret_D1] finished loading and UP POPPED a window saying "Please insert CD #2" with only an OK button. Well, I didn't have any CDs because the suite was delivered as a download way back when and there seems to be no way to get to Disk 2 folder.
I finally decided to Quit the install when up pops a window that says [paraphrasing]. Your Photoshop program on Disc 1 has been verified and so try again to install. I said OK and up pops a window with all the various programs and the option to select Install. I selected each one [except GoLive because I now have Dreamweaver CS4] and proceeded. I sort of kluged my way through the transition from D1 to D2 to D3 to D4 folders and by all indications had a successfully installed, registered and activated CS2 suite on the ASUS notebook. Restarted the machine.
Opened Photoshop and up comes an error message "Your Adobe Photoshop user name, organization or serial number is missing or invalid. The application cannot continue and must now exit" "OK", which I pressed and Photoshop closed. Checked the other CS2 programs and none of them would open.
I would appreciate any pointers on how to get CS2 Creative Suite to install properly since Adobe Tech Support says such installation help is out of date and recommended this forum.
BTW: I run Videography Lab and am the "seminal author of videography". OCT 1972 American Cinematographer. I have a different take on the meaning of videography than most folks. After 38 years of research and contemplation I believe "Videography means 'I know to write' or conversely 'writing my knowing'" The platform that I've been talking about is the technology tool that enables such communication in "the Age of Videography" [Miller Freeman Publishing - 1996].
Call me crazy and than help me get this sorted out
Bob Kiger - [url removed by host]
PS: Does anyone beside me expect a sudden and dramatic shootout between Final Cut Studio & Adobe Creative Suite soon?

Hi Michael--
Upon continued research we found your statement "CS 2 isn't compatible with Windows 7 32-bit no less 64-bit." not quite true. We grant you that, in it's raw state, Windows 7 will not install, activate, register etc. CS2 programs. That's been the Adobe position for quite a while.
Now that we have Windows 7 in hand and can play we found that if you have Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate edition you can acquire for $89.95 and download/install in an hour or so "Windows Virtual PC" and "Windows XP Mode".[Note: This feature is not available on Home editions].
We purchased the platform and once it is installed we had a "Windows XP platform" on our Windows 7 machine. From that point forward the installation of CS2 and many other of our old favorite programs was a snap. We've opened and worked with Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign etc. with no problems.
And, by the way, Premiere Pro 2.0 intalled easily on Windows 7. We're testing it now with some sub-1080p projects.
As to the long nagging problem of Adobe Installer not recognizing the downloaded CS2 CAB files during installation, we worked around by just saying OK when the installer asked for the next disc and immediately clicked on the desired disc in a seperate exlorer window which contained all the download files.
So that's the workaround for us. Now we wait to see who wins the race to enchant users with 64 bit editing and imaging suites.
Thanks for all your help.

Mac Pro Quad core Intel Xeon upgrade advice please!

Hi all, i have a Mac Pro Quad core 2 x 2.8ghz Intel Xeon (2008 model) with 4gb RAM.
I am planning on giving it some upgrades and a fresh OS install as it is slowly grinding to a halt (particualrly noisey hard drives)
Can anyone recommend best/fastest/silent! S-ATA hard drive to upgrade to?
Can anyone recommend a good replacement ATAPI DL DVD-RW Drive as mine is also on its way out.
Ram upgrade. Lots of space for RAM so what would you all recommend?
Ultimately i am finding myself working with alot of large PS file and so would welcome any suggestions to improve/soup-up the processor/performance.
Thanks for any advice in advance...

24GB RAM gets cost ly when you look at 800MHz FBDIMMs in 2x4GB
You shoudl have added more as 4GB is vary basic and miinimal
Any SATA drive device is fine. WD Black 1-2-4TB / WD 10K VRs are fast but not as quiet though I do hear those WD Blacks.
A single SSD for a system is nice.
10.6.8 works best in that system.
Your GPU most probably is in need of an upgrade.
You should never need to do a reinstall of the OS. Clone. Yes. And start wit h a new OS by not upgrade in place over the old OS but that is when to clean install, clone and use Set up Assis tant.

Upgrading Zbook 15 From i5 4200m Dual Core to an i7 Quad Core; Is it possible?

Hi. I have this laptop. Is it possible to replace the i5 dual processor with an i7 quad core? If so, I might upgrade. I am just not sure if the Zbook dual core laptop shares the same motherboard as a quad core.
Thanks much!
Gary

Hi Gary
Yes you're correct: you've to change out board for upgrading to Quad core processor. It's going to cost you much compared to price of the laptop.

Quad core processor upgrade?

I have a quad core with 2.0 processors and wondered if i could upgrade the processor speed. What speed could I upgrade it to and would it be cost effective?

marokero wrote:
Not cost effective, but is it possible? I plan on getting a 2.8Ghz octo soon, but someday I may want to put in dual 3.2 or whatever new and compatible cpus become available. Not sure what exactly needs to be matched, if just being a 771 Xeon socket will do, or if the bus speed must be matched, or if there's a limit to the number of cores that will be recognized by the system.
It is possible for the 1st gen Mac Pros, but as I said, not economically practical. The folks at Anandtech were able to successfully upgrade a stock 2.66 Woodcrest with 2x 3.0Ghz Woodcrest, and 2x preproduction 2.4Ghz Clovertown at the time of publication. However, the 3.0Ghz Woodcrest Xeon 5160s run ~$900 EACH, while a 3.0Ghz Clovertown Xeon 5365s run in excess of $1K each.

I asked the folks at the Apple Store and they said the core is not upgradeable. Very much not cool to have a system advertised as upgradeable and not have a whole lot you can actually upgrade.
What they meant was, "no, the CPUs are not user replaceable/upgradeable parts." Not the same as the CPUs not being replaceable from a technical standpoint.

Installing ram upgrade on Slimline s5150t quad core

I have a quad core s5150. I recently tried to add two additional RAM modules. I verified that I had purchased the correct RAM on curcial.com and by speaking with their reps. The computer would not take the RAM in any configuration. We tried seating the new RAM into the old modules one at a time and it still would not work. At last, the crucial rep told me to try and update the BIOS. Hard as I tried, for three hours, I was unable to find the BIOS update on the HP website despite looking where the HP video told me to look. There were lots of update options but no BIOS heading. The auto detect tool could not identify my computer for some reason. The HP Update tool installed with the machine said no updates were available.
I am wondering a few things, 1) Where can I find the BIOS update on the HP site? It is not in the list of updates on this page, where it is supposed to be:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=4002...
2. Is it possible there is a problem or conflict beacuse the machine shipped with Windows Vista and I updated it to Windows 7? Looking in the BIOS, the last update was May of 2009, long befoe Windows 7 was updated from the old VISTA files.
3. Any other reason you might know for the modules to not be working? We exchagned them for a fresh set already and still the same problem. They are clicking into place. Not sure what to try.

Hey cosmos64000,
Here is the memory upgrade information as it pertains to your motherboard. Each RAM slot supports a maximum of 2GB DDR3 DIMMs. The supported speeds are PC3-8500 @ 1066 MHz PC3-6400 @ 800 MHz. Depending on your processor, a 64 bit operating system will support up to 8GB of RAM. A 32 bit version of Windows with support a maximum of 4GB. (Motherboard Specifications, IPIEL-LA3 (Eureka3))
What RAM (size and speed) are you trying to install? How much RAM was in the computer before the upgrade? Are you using 64 or 32 bit Windows? Of the four RAM slots, two are blue, and two are black. Which slots did you fill the new RAM in?
Thank you.
I worked on behalf of HP
