Buying help needed

currently have a MDD G4 1.25 GHz with a Sony 18" LCD monitor.
Trying to decide between Mac Mini and iMac. What is the difference between the graphic cards in each machine and how much better are either of them compared to the ATI Radeon 9000 I have now.
How much difference would the 7200 RPM vs 5400 RPM hard drive make? My G4 has a 7200 RPM hard drive.
How much faster would either of these machines be compared to my G4?
Thanks
Doug

Macworld has a nice review and benchmark of the mini and that benchmark includes the iMac.
The hard drive, easily upgradeable to a faster unit, so that shouldn't be a deciding factor. The GPU on the other hand is the mitigating factor. Based upon that what is your intended purpose for the mini?
If your intent on playing games or heavy photoshop, or use Aperture then the mini may not be the best solution for your needs.
I recently ordered a mini and waiting for the delivery, but the purpose isn't to replace my powermac but suppliment it as a file and print server. I think the mini can fit a lot of solutions but games and apps that stress the GPU isn't one of them.

Hi all help needed I have a canon 40D. I am thinking of buying a canon 6D.
But not sure that my lenses will work.
I have a 170mm/ 500mm APO Sigma.
A 10/20 ex Sigma HSM IF.
And a 180 APO Sigma Macro or do I have to scrap them and buy others.
ALL Help will be greatly received. Yours BRODIE

In short, I love it. I was going to buy the 5DMark III. After playing with it for a while at my local Fry's store where they put 5DMII, 5DMIII and 6D next to each other, using the same 24-105L lens, I decided to get the 6D and pocket the different for lens later.
I'm upgrading from the 30D. So I think you'll love it. It's a great camera. I have used 5DMII extensively before (borrowing from a close friend).
Funny thing is at first I don't really care about the GPS and Wifi much. I thought they're just marketing-gimmick. But once you have it, it is actually really fun and helpful. For example, I can place the 6D on a long "monopod", then use the app on the phone to control the camera to get some unique perspective on some scenes. It's fun and great. GPS is also nice for travel guy like me.

To buy in for delivery in Qatar, you should be starting from the Apple Qatar site:
http://www.apple.com/qa/
Do you have an Apple-ID? if you do, then you should not have to enter your Address again, and may be able to sidestep the US Zip Code issue.

Help needed! Raid degraded again!

Hi!
Help needed! I hava made bootable RAID with two S-ATAII 250Gb HDD and its not working! Every now and then at bootup I get a message RAID -> DEGRADED... Must be seventh time! Rebuild takes its own time!
What am I doing wrong!
T: Ekku
K8N Neo4 Ultra
AMD 64 4200+
2 Gb RAM
2 x 250 Gb HDD (Maxtor)
nVidia RAID (in mb)
P.S. I wery SORRY with my poor language!

I'm going to blame the nVRAID because I've seen issues with it in the past. If your motherboard has another non-nVidia RAID solution, use that instead. Using the nVidia SATA ports as BASE or JBOD is fine and dandy but RAIDing always had issues. It's not even a driver issue I think it's just instability. Latest drivers and even boxed drivers never helped. Granted, some will report success with their rig. But on a professional level I've seen nForce issues on different motherboards and different hard drives that had RAID disaster stories.
Good luck and if you don't have another RAID solution, my suggestion would be to buy a dedicated RAID controller card.

Yes there chep and easy to come by...Ive already got a new one.
All I wanted was to make a diagram of whats inside the bloody thing...it was a simple question and required a simple answer.
NO NEED TO A WANKA !!
I feel a bann comming up.
Have you tryed Google ? really.. your question is inrelevant. No need to reply indeed.
Why do you come here asking this question anyway ? is it becouse you have a MSI gfx card ? and the adapter has nothing to do with this ?
You think you can come in here yelling.. thinking we have to put up with it and accept your style of posting. This is not a MSI tech center.. it's a user to user center.. Your question has nothing to do with MSI relavant things anyway's.
Google = your friend.

Help needed asap! Will my IPAD 3G wifi work in another country with the sim of a 3G services provider?

Help needed asap! I want to buy an IPAD 3G + Wifi before I return to my country from the US. The problem is that I have GSM service providers in my country that provide 3G services but I am wondering if their SIM card would work in the IPAD? In other words, can I get an unlocked IPAD 3G wifi? Thanks for helping out

The AT&T 3G iPads (which are GSM/sim based) in the US are not locked (the Verizon models are CDMA based so they effectively are). So as long as you can get a sim in your own country you shouldn't have a problem

Put your optical drives like CD-ROM drive to IDE 1 and set as Primary Master aka Master mode and put your HDD to IDE 2 and set as Secondary Master aka Master mode also.
Btw, what is your PSU specs?

Help needed for writing query

i have the following tables(with data) as mentioned below
FK*-foregin key (SUBJECTS)

384           S2      4           2           5           3
---------I actually designed the ABOVE table also like this
3) a)COMBINATION
COMB_ID(NUMBER) COMB_NAME(VARCHAR2)
383           S1
384           S2
b)COMBINATION_DET

8               384          3
Business rule: a combination consists of a maximum of 4 subjects (must contain)
and the user is less relevant to a COMB_NAME(name of combinations) but user need
the subjects contained in combinations
i need the following output
COMB_ID COMB_NAME SUBJECT1 SUBJECT2      SUBJECT3      SUBJECT4
383     S1     Biology Chemistry      Computer Science Physics
384     S2     Chemistry Computer Science Mathematics Physics
or even this is enough(what i actually needed)
COMB_ID     subjects
383           Biology,Chemistry,Computer Science,Physics
384           Chemistry,Computer Science,Mathematics,Physics
you can use any of the COMBINATION table(either (2) or (3))
and i want to know
1)which design is good in this case
(i think SUB_ID1,SUB_ID2,SUB_ID3,SUB_ID4 is not a
good method to link with same table but if 4 subjects only(and must) comes
detail table is not neccessary )
now i am achieving the result by program-coding in C# after getting the rows from oracle
i am using oracle 9i (also ODP.NET)
i want to know how can i get the result in the stored procedure itsef.
2)how it could be designed in any other way.
any help/suggestion is welcome
thanks for your time --Pradeesh

Well I forgot the table-alias, here now with:
SELECT C.COMB_ID
, C.COMB_NAME
, (SELECT SUB_NAME
FROM SUBJECTS
WHERE SUB_ID = C.SUB_ID1) AS SUBJECT_NAME1
, (SELECT SUB_NAME
FROM SUBJECTS
WHERE SUB_ID = C.SUB_ID2) AS SUBJECT_NAME2
, (SELECT SUB_NAME
FROM SUBJECTS
WHERE SUB_ID = C.SUB_ID3) AS SUBJECT_NAME3
, (SELECT SUB_NAME
FROM SUBJECTS
WHERE SUB_ID = C.SUB_ID4) AS SUBJECT_NAME4
FROM COMBINATION C;
As you need exactly 4 subjects, the columns-solution is just fine I would say.

Help needed on installation of Oracle 9i on Sun Solaris 8

Hey,
Help needed on installation of Oracle 9i EE on Sun Solaris 8. The problem I met was: we followed the installation guide from the documentation. And we selected the choice "install software only". After it was done successfully, we run Database Configuration Assistant utility to create a database instance. But finally it always tried to create the instance at the root directory ( / ) which doesn't have enough space and then failed. The case was that we have set the enviroment parameters: $ORACLE_BASE = /export/mydata, $ORACLE_HOME = /export/apps/oracle9i. That means it should be installed at /export/mydata, but it didn't. Any help or advice are welcome. Thanks.
Simon

I have downloaded Oracle 11G R2 version from Windows and extracted it in Windows and copied it into DVD after extraction in two folders. Now I am mounting that DVD in Solaris 10 installed in my VMware . I made a new directory named as 'installation ' under /export/home/oracle and copied the folders from DVD to 'installation' folder. Now I am entering installation folder and try to do ./runInstaller as 'oracle ' user and getting the error mentioned before.
