Can a 1.0 GHz (512mb RAM) machine run a ZFS (NAS) server?

I'm looking to setup a NAS server on a spare machine I have but it's not very powerful...
It's an AMD Athlon 1.0 GHz w/512 MB of RAM.
I've been told that Solaris/ZFS really needs around 2 GB of RAM to operate decently and you should also have a 64bit processor.
Should I ever bother with Solaris + ZFS or will it really not even run on my machine?
Should I just stick with FreeNAS (FreeBSD v6.2R) and software RAID 5?
Thanks for any help!

Will the apple firmware 500 gig drives work in this specific model
Which 500GB drives?
If you're looking at the ones for the XServe G5 then no - the XServe G5 uses SATA drives, not the PATA format used by the XServe G4.
If you can find larger PATA drives they should be OK.
I found a source of a few 500 gig origional Xserve drive pulls at a good price
Check with the vendor to be sure where they came from - a G4 or a G5. Even better, make sure he offers a return service if they don't work for you.
I was wondering if anyone has tried adding a USB wireless N network adapter to one of the G4 Xserves by adding a USB 2.0 card into a PCI slot
I'm sure someone has.
I don't foresee a problem with this, provided you get both a USB2 card and a wireless card that are compatible with Mac OS X.
Personally, though, I'd throw a cable up over the roof (or under the floor if you have a crawlspace) and be done.
Everymac.com lists it capable of using up to 10.5.8 but not supporting anything more recent.
That's correct. It can't run Snow Leopard since that is Intel-only, but it can run any 10.5.x release.

HT4914 I want to transfer my entire iTunes "folder" from a newer iMac 3.06 GHz Core 2 machine running iTunes 10.7 to an older iMac running OSx 10.5.8. How best to do this and keep all my data, tags and covers in tact?

I want to transfer my entire iTunes "folder" from a newer iMac 3.06 GHz Core 2 machine running iTunes 10.7 to an older iMac running OSx 10.5.8. How best to do this and keep all my data, tags and covers in tact?

Firstly, time to get rid of the 2 x 512MB FBDIMMs in there, they add more heat and use more watts then they add to the system. If you need more, and 4 or 8 DIMMs is ideal, Amazon has 2x2GB sets $22 - about 1/50th what I paid for 1GB new.
Buy a 250GB Samsung EVO SSD $129
Pick up Carbon Copy Cloner http://www.bombich.com to clone the system to the SSD
A sled adapter for the SSD from Icy Dock $14 Amazon.com
7-8 years overdue for new system drive! amazed it lasted this long. An SSD plus some WD Black 2TB drives or larger should do the trick.
you can also put the SSD in the lower optical drive bay and use one of the two ODD "spare" SATA ports for the SSD - an SSD is the best way to improve the performance of our old Mac Pro 2006-7 models.
When you downloaded the Lion installer that was when to create a flash type installer with Lion DiskMaker.
If you have put in a new-ish graphic card then OS X 10.6.0 may not support it.

How do you get values of local machine running applet on remote server?

Hi,
I have an applet that runs great running the html file on my local machine from a root directory. I've placed my code(java, class, and html files) on the web server and loaded the applet onto a page. The results are merely:
"Computer Name: localhost"
"IP Address : 127.0.0.1"
Instead of:
"Computer Name: ACTUALNAME"
"IP Address : 189.40.20.211"
etc...
The code is as follows:
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.net.InetAddress;
public class IPFinder extends Applet {
public void paint(Graphics g) {
super.paint(g);
try {
InetAddress localaddr = InetAddress.getLocalHost () ;
g.drawString("Computer Name: " + localaddr.getHostName (), 2, 13);
g.drawString("IP Address : "+localaddr.getHostAddress (), 3, 25);
g.drawString("", 3, 45);
String str = localaddr.getHostName();
InetAddress[] localaddrs = InetAddress.getAllByName ( str ) ;
for ( int i=0 ; i<localaddrs.length ; i++ )
if ( ! localaddrs[ i ].equals( localaddr ) )
// g.drawString("Local hostname : " + localaddrs[ i].getHostName () , 3, (i+0)+50);
g.drawString("Local IP Address("+i+"): " + localaddrs[ i].getHostAddress () , 3, (12*i)+((i+10)+45));
}} } catch (Exception e) {
g.drawString("Can't detect localhost : " + e +". Check Network settings.", 3, 60);
public static void main(String[] args) { new IPFinder(); }
I'm trying to get Real IP Addresses (as the code was setup to do) from a browser running on the web server. I have read some of the threads in this forum and some mention to use NetworkInterface while others recommended using Sockets (not an option since we do not use them), and another to use a signature as a workaround. Anyone know the best direction to get the results expected?
Thanks in advance,

I have an applet that runs great running the html file
on my local machine from a root directory. I've
placed my code(java, class, and html files) on the web
server and loaded the applet onto a page. The results
are merely:
"Computer Name: localhost"
"IP Address : 127.0.0.1"This indicates that your applet when run over a web
server has not the rights to query the local name and
address. Look [url
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/net/InetAd
ress.html#getLocalHost()]here. The so-called
loopback address is 127.0.0.1
Check your documentation for "signed jar" (or search
the forum or the sun website) if you want to give your
applet more rights, but I don't think that this is
worth the effort in this case.
gdsimz, since you already started two new threads based on my suggestion, how about at least saying "thank you" or "sorry, didn't help"?

How Can I create a cluster of two instances running on the same server?

Hello,
I can't find how to create a cluster or even a failover rule for my two instances running on the same server ODSEE 11gR1.
Could you please help?
Thanks,

Hello,
Clustering (intended as Sun Cluster, Veritas Cluster, etc... ) IS NOT SUPPORTED since 7.0:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E20295_01/pdf/821-1216.pdf [page 20]
and, based on my own experience, is the WORST way of achieving high availability of an LDAP Directory Service and an almost GRANTED way to get replication issues in your topology (lock, split, re-init, etc...).
Please use instead the 'application-level' clustering that you get out of the box with the Multi-Master Replication.

Is a 64 core machine running Microsoft's Windows Server compatible with After Effects CC and other CC apps?

I'm trying to build an editing / render machine that has a 64 threaded cores which requires me to use windows server. Has anyone here ever try to run Creative Cloud on a Windows server 2012? Also, any opinions regarding effectiveness, compatibility, and thoughts about this set up is welcome, I would like to hear what you guys think. This station will primarily be used a render station and to edit 4k video through a fiber network.

Also, any opinions regarding effectiveness, compatibility, and thoughts about this set up is welcome, I would like to hear what you guys think.
Well, since you asked: Makes no sense. First off, Adobe desktop apps are generally not officially supported on any server operating systems. That doesn't mean they won't run, but there's no guarantees for anything. Second, if you wanted to use all the cores e.g. for MP rendering in AE, you'd only have 2 GB per core, which isn't much. You will run into all sorts of memory errors. Of course you can skew the balance by using less cores/ processors, but then you don't need 4 processors in the machine in the first place. Also currently AE's MP rendering only allows to use 32 processes at most, anyway. Still, even then the file I/O required to sustain all those 32 instances would probably kill your system. Third, and now we are getting to a point, due to how many things in AE work, limitations imposed by CoDecs and effects and a million other things you may end up never using more than 2 cores on a single processor and things feel like on an Amiga. And well, similar considerations would be true for AME, Premiere and whatever other tools/ programs. Sorry, but this is a highly fictional "What if...?" computer or an Edsel. The way they currently work, no Adobe app could ever feed this beast and exploit all the performance. In fact for 4K work in Premiere you may need a totally different graphics system like a Titan. You simply have things completely wrong and are solely focusing on processing power without seeing the bigger picture. You need to sit down and think it over.

Can I use 667mhz ram in a 800mhz ram machine.

I have a MacPro1,1 and a MacPro3,1. Can I move use the 667mhz ram from the earlier machine into the "newer" machine which uses 800mhz ram.
I am going to recycle the old machine when Mountain Lion comes out and it has a lot of ram in it. Hate to lose it.

one caveat in this, you can't use 512MB DIMMs, 1GB and up.

Ok those are the specs of my machine
It was bought June 05 and came with 10.3.
I then installed 10.4 and have updated to 10.4.4.
In October I was editing a large DVD file and my mac became really slow. I thought it was bc my HD was too full (which it was). so then I bought an ext HD and transferred heaps of data over..
But it was still really slow, the same as before.
I am pretty sure it came with 512mb ram and is supposed to. I don't remember what it said when I first bought it but I'm pretty sure it would've been 512.
I have not tampered with or opened the RAM slot.
I bought the PB from a reputable apple reseller here in Sydney so I doubt they would've done anything dodgy. I called them and they confirmed it should've had 512. They also told me if there are major probs it will take up to 4 weeks to fix.
Since I can't live without my computer for 4 weeks (!!) I thought I could figure it out by myself.
Any ideas?
thanks.

Hi Livia,
I had the same problem with my PowerBook. Suddenly 128MB of RAM disappeared and the computer became slow. I was sure I had 512MB of RAM.
You should check in the System Profiler under Diagnostics if there is an error.
In my case, System Profiler reported an error with the user-replaceable RAM. I installed another RAM (1gb stick) the computer only recognized half the RAM from the chip and System Profiler was still reporting an error.
Now I must to take the powerbook to the technical service because the problem is in the logic board, not with the RAM.

Can a MacBook 2 Ghz core 2 duo be upgraded to Lion?

Can the MacBook 2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo be upgraded to Snow Leopard andLion?

Yes for both, but you likely won't be pleased with the performance of Intel Core 2 Duo's on Lion, I have one myself and just gave up and went back to Snow Leopard, and that was a MacBook Pro!
I also had of the many tens of thousands with the screen blinking issue that Lion causes, Apple won't fix it even though it came under the 4 year "we will take care of it" clause for this model.
Lion is slower than Snow Leopard and won't run your 10.5 based software at all, but Snow Leopard will using Rosetta.
I'd advise getting Lion with a new Mac, not upgrading anything prior Early 2011, just way too many issues.
Lion likes 4GB of RAM for starters, and prefers quad cores, it's slow on 2GB, so your already spending money to get it to work, not to mention all new software on a old machine, hard drive etc.
Snow Leopard is the fastest OS X version Apple has made, it's only $29 upgrade.
Lion is a radical UI change, it will turn your world upside down and likely make you unhappy, since you haven't even upgraded to 10.6, so that tells me your a person not happy with change.
Snow Leopard will give you a speed bonus, add some candy, and nearly all your present software will work, not upset you to much.
When that machine dies, THEN get a new Lion machine is my advice, ease yourself into the new radical OS X method, that way Apple has worked all the bugs out of Lion by then.

Pentium III 512mb RAM

I have an old Compaq desk pro (museum piece), Pentium III, new 512MB Ram, new 180GB hard drive that was given to me by my employer years ago. I recall when the machine was new she was relatively fast. My main PC crashed, both hard drive and back-up
drive died within 3days of each other (thanks Seagate) What is the most efficient way to get some speed back?. Yes, I have already heard "use it as a boat anchor" and buy a new system. I just don't have the wallet fat, but my ex-wife
I keep her "In Style!"
Thanks

Here are a few things that may help to speed up your XP computer. Not all of them will necessarily apply to you but look through the list and run those that seem appropriate:
1. Make sure you are free from malware as that can slow it down. If necessary, run your ‘anti’ programs.
2. Although XP supposedly runs on 512MB of memory (RAM), adding more if you have less than about 1GB will help it run better. It will behave even better with 2GB. To check how much memory you have, right-click My Computer, click Properties and the General
Tab shows how much is installed.
3. Run Disk Cleanup via Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk CleanUp. Now, defragment the hard drive (not on an SSD) via Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter. Click on the drive
and choose Defragment.
4. Check the disk for errors. Open a Run window (Windows Logo key+R), type chkdsk /r and press Enter. Allow it to run next time you restart the computer or restart it now.
5. Don’t turn off your antivirus program, but check if it’s running a scheduled scan when you switch on the computer. If it is, reschedule it for a more appropriate time.
6. You’ll get a slightly faster start up if you optimise the boot files and applications by running a special defragmentation (not on an SSD), i.e. in a Run window (Windows Logo key+R), type cmd and press Enter to open a command prompt then type defrag C:\
-b (note the two spaces) and press Enter.
7. When you have a slow boot, check that no external drives have media in them. If they have, experiment by booting with it inserted and without.
8. Remove unwanted programs that run when you switch on the computer. Bear in mind that it’s not necessarily how many programs run at start up, but which of them affect the computer’s performance. If possible, look at the program’s options/preferences to
see if it can be stopped from running at start up.
If there is no option, run Microsoft’s Autoruns from the right pane here
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902 It doesn’t need downloading nor installing. Run it and go to the Logon Tab and remove the tick alongside the programs you don’t want to start. Right-click an entry and choose Search online for more
information about it. It is completely reversible if you unintentionally stop a program from starting up.
Also, the built-in system configuration utility (msconfig) can be used, but its primary function is to troubleshoot start up errors. Note that some programs use a service to start them running.
9. You can use Process Explorer to see which services/programs are using which files. To determine which process is using a particular file, click Find at the top, type the name of the file and click Search. To see the svchost processes, let the mouse pointer
hover over each svchost.exe in the left pane. Download it from here

Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
our Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
8 GB or more of available space
If your computer isn’t compatible, you might be able to upgrade to Lion.
