Between these 2 rigs, will I see a big difference?

Hi All,
I've got two computer that I use to do basic HD editing and some effects (with Premiere Pro CS4 and After Effects).
First, the two rigs:
Work Rig:
Dell XPS 9100
i7 950
6gb Tri Channel Ram (1000 mhz)
ATI 5870
OS Drive (Raid 0 2 x 500gb)
E Sata Drive (500 gb)
2 TB USB Backup Drive
Home Rig:
Coolermaster HAF 942
ASUS Sabertooth X58
Corsair 850 W Power Supply
i7 950
12 GB Ram (Corsair 3 x 4gb 1600 mhz)
Nvidia GTX 470 1280mb
OS Drive (300gb Raptor 10,000 rpm)
2 x 1 TB Samsung F3 (in a RAID 0)
2 x 500 GB Backup USB Drives
So, knowing this, I have a few questions...
1. Will I see a substancial difference between these two rigs? Will that difference be more in editing, exporting, or effects rendering?
2. Should I add anything to my dell work rig (not my choice to purchase... grrr) that can significantly boost performance?
3. Same questions for my home rig (I was thinking of buying another set of the Corsair 12gb ram, and perhaps setting up a second RAID 0.. is that advisable with my mobo and no RAID controller card?)
4. Should I reconfigure my work rig so that its not running in a RAID 0? (this would require a lot of time, another drive purchase, etc.. would it be worth the headache?)
Thank you all for any input... I really love this board as it's been a great resource for me acquiring my current build.

One more questions:
My work PC has ram that is set up as 6 X 1 GB (533 mhz).
I have found a Kingston set of 3 X 4 GB (1066 mhz). Would this set of ram (cause of its 3x4 grouping and speed increase) give a considerable performance boost? Is there a possibility the Dell machine MOBO would accept the higher speed ram?
Thank you!

Will I see a difference...?

In February I stupidly purchased a new imac 10 (21" Intel Core 2 Duo 3.06GHz 4GB/1TB imac) from Best Buy not Apple. I have been using it and not really seeing a difference in normal day to day or using Photoshop than my pc quad-core. Due to this, I am now arguing with myself for the last 2 weeks that I should have just bought the Quad-Core imac and then I would see a difference between using a DC over a QC (but scared hearing all the 27" screen issues). I am now past the return policy but they said they could refund my money to a gift-card allowing me to use the gift card and order my QC iMac from Best-Buy's site which will have me w/o a mac for 5-7 days (now kicking myself that i didnt buy it from Apple as I could've just did an exchange). This terrifies me!!!
My questions are as follows:
1) just using my mac to browse, download large files, & editing photos in Aperature and Photoshop, will I see a big difference if I NOT buy the QC mac, & simply upgrade the RAM to 8GB?
2) When I upgrade the RAM, is 8GB total the max this imac can upgrade to, or can i have the two empty slots as 4GB each (2 2 4 4)??? Is that ok or not recommended?
3) For what I explained I use my imac for (downloading, browsing, & graphics) will I notice a difference between having an 8GB/1TB Intel CD2 and the 4GB Quad-Core imac (other than screen size)?
Your help would be greatly appreciated as I am not sure whether to just upgrade the new mac i have RAM and buy whatever Quad_Core or awesomeness Apple releases next year at tax time. ??? I am trying to not buy a new computer next year bc its my husband's turn to get one next year, but he did say he thinks I should stay with the imac I have and hold off to see what Apple releases next in an imac. So confused! Now, I admit, if I could simply walk into Best Buy or Apple tomorrow and exchange for teh QC, then my decision is simple--the QC!!! But being without my imac for 5-7 days is a scarey thought!

Check out this article from Macworld. It has info about the performance differences and a good suite of "real world" application tests:

And this Macworld review of the 27" iMacs has two handy comparison charts as well:

Big difference between Retina and non-Retina MacBooks on ACD?

I'm deciding between a 13" MacBook pro/retina and a 13" MacBook Air. It'll mostly be used with my 24-inch, Late 2008 (1920 x 1200) Apple Cinema display. Will I see a big difference in text clarity with the Retina Pro instead of an Air plugged into it? Thanks for any advice.

Thank you very much for the reply Geoff93......but I'm still baffled.
If what you say is so......Is BT not my ISP ?? ......(and therefore "bypassing their own congestion" to achieve better figures) ? How come other users show speedtest.net download figures of 30+ Mbs when I struggle to get more than 10 ? and still doesn't explain why my download speed is nearly always less than upload speed ?
The Openreach engineer said that according to his meter on installation I had a possible 37+ Mb down and almost 10 up....but in practice he was only getting Speedtest.net readings of around 4.5 Mbs to 11 Mbs using both wireless and/or ethernet cable and using three different computers (with three different versions of Windows) to cross check.
I had hoped (and expected from the option 2 + Anytime calls Infinity monthly agreement taken on !) that the speed of operation would have been quite noticeably faster than the old 1 Mb down / .5 Mb upload copper cable connection but it has not .....and is less reliable having dropped connection regularly last week.

Will I see a difference if I up grade?

I am using an 24" iMac with a 2.66 GHz intel core 2 duo with 8 gigs of Ram, and
NVIDIA GeForce 9400 for editing with FCP X.
Will I see a notable difference if I upgrade to a 27" iMac with 2.7 GHz Quad Core intel i5 and a AMD Radeon HD 6770M with 512 Mb memory
Thanks

Yes you will. Far better CPU as well. Everything will be faster and smoother.

Hey guys, I was wondering ... is there a big difference between the 16 gig ram and the 8 gig for the retina series?? hardest thing I do on a laptop is play need for speed on 1080p resolution.... thanks

hey guys I was wondering ... will there be a big difference between the 8 gig and 16 gig versions of the pro retina series??? the hardest thing i do is play need for speed and program using c++...thanks

That RAM is soldered in. No sockets. No upgrading later.
Your question is:
¿Will I EVER need the 16GB in the time I expect to own this MacBook?
--NO, save $200 and if you ever run short, sell the machine and buy a different one.
--ELSE, spend the extra US$200 and don't think about it again.

Will I notice a significan difference from 320 MB to 576 MB of RAM?

My 466 MHz graphite Clamshell will be here tomorrow. I bought it with 320MB of RAM (64 soldered + 256 MB chip). I am planning on just keeping this laptop downstairs so when I'm up at night with my newborn, I'll have something to surf the web on. I won't be doing photoshop or iMovie with it...pretty much checking email, reading CNN, and going on Facebook. Will I notice a big difference between 320 and 576 (64 soldered + 512 chip)? Omni has the 512 chip on sale for $26.99 plus shipping right now, so it's tempting. Will 320 MB start to run out on long internet sessions, since it is an older computer, and has to work harder? :P
Thanks!

I agree a high-speed connection helps, but doesn't more available RAM help the application run better and therefore display information faster? Sometimes Firefox just gets hung up trying to load a page, even when I'm using ethernet to connect. I looked at my Activity Monitor, and Firefox is using 69 MB of RAM and has set aside 266 MB of virtual memory! And that was just having the Google home page open. I created a screen shot:

Why wouldn't adding more physical memory help Firefox run better, since it wouldn't have to dip into so much virtual memory?

If i create a stunnel between two solaris servers, will the databus clustering of these two servers operate successfully across this stunneled tcp channel?

we have 2 solaris servers interconnected by a stunnel. will the clustered databus that I establish between these two servers operate successfully on the stunnelized tcp connection?

You indicated the servers didn't come up correctly. Did you run "svcs -xv" on the servers to see if any services are having problems? It is my practice to run this command after rebooting a server to make sure it came up properly and if not, to identify which services have problems which need to be addressed. If you've not done this already, I'd start there. The zones service comes up rather late in the boot process and may not be up properly if there are other problems.

Between the 2 fusion drives , 1 is 1tb 5400RPM and 1 is 1tb 7200RPM, will you see much difference in speed as I understand the speed comes from the ssd part..?

Between the 2 fusion drives , 1 is 1tb 5400RPM and 1 is 1tb 7200RPM, will you see much difference in speed as I understand the speed comes from the ssd part..?
Will it not be noticeable?

It would not be as noticable as one would think. The speed of the OS will come from the SSD portion of the drive. The SATA portion is mostly used for data storage which the drive only has to access as needed, not constantly. So over all, there is a bit of a difference but not enough to make a big impact.

Will I see difference between DVI over VGA monitors?

hi all,
I have my G4s connected to one VGA LCD monitor via KVM adapter box. They both have video cards with DVI capabilities. Will I see a difference if I were to use a DVI monitor?
Thanks
Web dude

Hi-
Yes, there will be a difference.
LCD monitors are digital, and so is the graphical data produced by the graphics card.
For VGA (analog) the graphics card converts the digital to analog, and the monitor reprocess that back to digital.
There is a loss of quality, lesser or greater varies with equipment.
If you change to DVI connection, you will need a DVI capable KVM that supports the optimal resolution of the display. I say this, because in the case of 1920 x 1200, not all KVMs can go that high.

Whats the difference between these two queries ? - for tuning purpose

Whats the difference between these two queries ?
I have huge amount of data for each table. its takeing such a long time (>5-6hrs).
here whice one is fast / do we have any other option there apart from listed here....
QUERY 1:
SELECT --<< USING INDEX >>
      field1, field2, field3, sum( case when field4 in (1,2) then 1 when field4 in (3,4) then -1 else 0 end)
    FROM
      tab1 inner join tab2 on condition1 inner join tab3 on condition2 inner join tab4 on conditon3
    WHERE
     condition4..10 and
    GROUP BY
      field1, field2,field3
    HAVING
      sum( case when field4 in (1,2) then 1 when field4 in (3,4) then -1 else 0 end) <> 0;
QUERY 2:
   SELECT --<< USING INDEX >>
      field1, field2, field3, sum( decode(field4, 1, 1, 2, 1, 3, -1, 4, -1 ,0))
    FROM
      tab1, tab2, tab3, tab4
    WHERE
     condition1 and
     condition2 and
     condition3 and
     condition4..10
    GROUP BY
      field1, field2,field3
    HAVING
      sum( decode(field4, 1, 1, 2, 1, 3, -1, 4, -1 ,0)) <> 0;
[pre]

My feeling here is that simply changing join syntax and case vs decode issues is not going to give any significant improvement in performance, and as Tubby points out, there is not a lot to go on. I think you are going to have to investigate things along the line of parallel query and index vs full table scans as well any number of performance tuning methods before you will see any significant gains. I would start with the Performance Manual as a start and then follow that up with the hard yards of query plans and stats.
Alternatively, you could just set the gofast parameter to TRUE and everything will be all right.

Is Adobe aware of these issues and will there be any fixes?

Is Adobe aware of these issues and will there be any fixes?

What John said ... and additionally, though these are user-to-user forums, some of their staffers do pop in here (on their own time, we so appreciate it when they do!) and so between the bug/wish-form requests that John linked to, staffers do monitor what goes onto the boards here. And they do fix a ton of things on a constant basis. Every problem that every individual user has? No.
But with the incredibly complicated software they've created to give us the inter-operability betwixt an ingestion program (Prelude), an NLE (PrPro), a grading program (Speedgrade), an effects program (AeFx), an audio-effects program (Audition), and an out-put rendering program (AME) ... there are unfortunately times when bits & pieces of software between the OS, programs & plugins, video cards & drivers, and add-on or separate modification programs (such as Plural Eyes for instance) can conflict with each other. Some problems have been incredibly difficult for their staffers to duplicate ... and often, until they can duplicate a particular set of complex circumstances they can't see exactly what went wrong in that case ... and understand why it happens ONLY with that specific set of 500 possible variables and no others.
Some of the re-current problems on here are shared by quite a number of people ... and many of the problems only occur in very rare circumstances ... it takes precisely the right mix of loaded programs, footage, working steps, and hardware for that problem to exist. While that situation is of course incredibly annoying and oft infuriating to those few that have that problem ... by it's very nature, not many do have that problem. So you will hear of it on the boards here in far greater numbers than it occurs as a percentage of the user base.
And that btw is a given on a user complaint forum, which for most people is what this place is. Past some of us who use it for a learning "facility" not many jump on here unless they've got a problem or complaint. It most people are happy &/simply functioning, they don't post here.

Iphone maps 3g "transit directions could not be found between these locations"

RE: iphone maps 3g "transit directions could not be found between these locations"
My kitten (Mr. Kitty or Mister K Star), who I had just adopted from the SPCA (died on August 14, 2011) -- which has really put my mental state all over the kitten place (shopping, in a car, in public ...) ... I only had the poor guy for one month and he died of pneumonia.
Me driving in my vehicle has not been the same.
EXAMPLE:
I was driving in my car yesterday. And then today, I realized I could not get from point A to point B on my iphone G3. Well, I called AT & T and explained my situation. The guy ( AT & T rep ) told me that the "Maps" feature got bought out and it does not work. I thought to myself, "That's F-ing stupid." That will pee off infinite Apple iPhone users. Expressed, "I have been using Google Maps on my iPhone 3G ever since I got it." Asked, "are any other iPhone customers calling in having the same issues?"
Of course, I'm smart. I took a screen shot ("transit directions could not be found between these locations"). I was too busy to even notice that the icons at the top were on the "Bus" image. Duhhhhh. Only thing I can say, is ... that when I am driving in my car ... I'm multi-tasking. Some where in my drive (adventure), I accidentally touched the "Bus" icon like an idiot.
Therefore, when I tried to get one simple answer to help with my problem when dialing 611, the people (at AT & T) could not even provide a correct one just reading from a manual while on the job.
Luckily, my screen shot helped me out. It was the only way to go online and find this post from 2009. Then I had to re-look at my screen shot to even see that my "Bus" image was highlighted. So I just put the icon back onto the "Car."
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2001991?start=0&tstart=0
>^.^<
Next time my weird self drives in my car, I need to remember, "Look at the top icons. Make sure it's on the 'car' and not the freakin' 'Bus' icon. LOL!!!!!"
Out of the past years I've had this phone, I can't wait to buy a new G5 this year.

I have a problem with the synchronisation of my iPhone and iPad with Outlook 2007 on my 64-bit Windows 7 PC. For several years, I have had no problems with the synchronisation by cord connection and iTunes between these programmes. However, a few months

I have a problem with the synchronisation of my iPhone and iPad with Outlook 2007 on my 64-bit Windows 7 PC. For several years,
I have had no problems with the synchronisation by cord connection and iTunes between these programmes. However, a few months ago I decided to use Mobile Me. However, there were problems with duplication of calendars and then “rogue events” – which could not be deleted – even if deleted on Outlook and on the iPhone (or both at the same time) – they would just reappear after the next synchronisation. All other synchronisation areas (eg Contacts, Notes etc) work fine.
I have looked for help through the Apple Support Community and tried many things. I have repaired my Outlook. I have repaired my .pst file in Windows. I have re-installed the latest version of iTunes on my PC. I have re-installed the firmware on my iPhone. I have tried many permutations on my iPhone. I have closed down all Mobile Me functions on the iPhone. I have spent upwards of 24 hours trying to solve this problem.
What am I left with? Outlook works seamlessly on my PC. My iPhone calendar now has no events from my calendar, but does not synchronise through iTunes. Nor does it send events initiated on the iPhone to the Outlook. I am at the point of abandoning iPhones and iPads altogether. I need to have a properly synchronising calendar on my phone. Do you have any suggestions?

In the control panel goto the "Lenovo - Power Manager" and click the battery tab, there is a maintenance button in there that will let you change the charging profile for your battery. (from memory, so exact wording may be off)
The lower the numbers you use there, the longer the battery *should* last. These batteries degrade faster at higher charge levels, however storing them at too low of levels is also not good for them... I've read that 40% is optimal, but just not realistic if you use your computer.

MC.1 will give you the report for plant analysis as per plant .
MB5L report will give you list of stock value as per G/L account wise.

TS2972 I have 4 Apple TV's. All set up to Home share. One will not see the computer. It is also the only 720 I have. The other three are 1080's. How do I get the 4th one (the720) to recognize my Mac?

I have 4 Apple TV's. All set up to Home share. One will not see the computer. It is also the only 720 I have. The other three are 1080's. How do I get the 4th one (the720) to recognize my Mac?

Need more information to help you, but I am providing some suggestions. Sorry if you are past these type of basic things. But didnt really have much to start with and understand your technical level to start with.
Have you got into Settings > Computers > Turned on Home Sharing (Note: You must use the some Apple ID used by the iTunes library on your MAC for them to see one another)
How is your MAC connected to the network vs the 720 ATV2? Is one WiFi and the other Ethernet? Have you tried switching the ATV2 to WiFi if Ethernet?
Has the MAC been restarted since this started happening? Same with your Router and any other networking device being used? Sometimes an IP conflict can arise in your networking and most consumer networking equipment does not know how to "self heal" without a reboot.
Make sure you have given those things a whirl and share back your results. Any other information you can provide, such as how you connect to your network from each ATV and MAC.

Between these 2 rigs, will I see a big difference?
