just 1 last thing is this motherboard any good for OC?
The V1 was not. I can't comment on the V2 version of the board, however.

Give it to me straight -- Can the new Quad Core iMac run Maya well?

Hey all, I've been hunting around the interwebs for reviews of the new 27 inch quad core machine and I'm having a heck of a time tracking down specifics regarding iMacs and their ability to run Maya, After Effects, other adobe programs, etc.
I'm a student right now, going on four years. I own a small graphic design/animation business and I'm afraid my poor little Macbook Pro is going to keel over on me any day now. I've noticed a drop in performance in the last six months, especially with Maya and After Effects. So I've been evaluating options, and I know it has to run OSX. Windows has only given me headaches in regards to Maya work. In short, it's gonna be a Mac.
I've priced out a Mac Pro, and I'd rather not spend 3 grand on a machine that doesn't have a monitor, and may have properties that I'm paying for that I don't necessarily need: monstrous expandability, server capabilities, a big-stinking CPU footprint. But the mantra I always hear is "Only pro models can run Maya". So I reluctantly began putting away money for a new Mac Pro, uncertain if I'd be able to afford the software to go with it. Then I read this article:
http://gizmodo.com/5411073/why-its-gotten-straight-stupid-to-buy-a-mac-pro
In my mind, this article couldn't be more perfect for my position. It's telling me, "These high end iMacs are almost as powerful as the Mac Pro you can't afford. You can save a thousand bucks off the base computer. It comes with a monitor that you don't have to pay for. " But unfortunately the one question I need answered, that I'm having a heckuva time tracking down is "Can the stinking thing run Maya or can't it?" And if it can, will it be crippled?
So, please, anyone out there, can the new monster iMac run Maya, and if it can, does it suck at it?

No, there's no way to talk to Apple technical support via email, and they probably could not or would not be able to answer any questions about performance with third-party products. I doubt that more than a handful of Apple employees, sales rep or tech, would have access to any benchmark data on Maya with any model of Mac, and those Apple people would probably be those working with the Pro VAR channel or directly with large production companies.
I just got off the phone with an Apple sales associate who emphatically confirmed that the i7 iMac can run "all that Adobe stuff", but she'd never heard of Maya.... fun....
Not terribly surprising; Maya is pretty specialized and the Apple Store phone reps are generalists working mostly with consumers. Most people running Maya would be working with an Apple VAR or would otherwise have access to specialists. You might try talking to an Apple Pro Video/Film VAR - there are a number around the country though none in Salt Lake, apparently - or asking in the Autodesk forums:
http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-maya/
If you search for "iMac", you'll find some comments, though none I can find yet regarding performance with the new iMac models. But if you post asking if anyone has experience with Maya on the i7, you might get useful responses.
Regards.
P.S.
And on top of that I can't buy a 27 inch display separately
Well, you can, and they're not terribly expensive; under $400.00. But that might be more than your budget could accept, which may be what you meant. I'd elect a smaller primary monitor and go with two displays in any case, even with an iMac. I find it much better for workflow to have a monitor for the primary canvas and a separate one for tool palettes, etc.

Does Firefox 13 run in a multi-threaded mode and can it utilize quad-core processors?

When purchasing a new PC, one chooses between dual-core vs. quad-core processors and some people claim that Firefox run in a mulch-threaded mode and treats each tab as a separate process and that it can fully utilize the advantage of a quad-core processor. Is that true?

Firefox doesn't treat each tab as a separate process. While this may be a feature sometime in the future, I don't know of any plans to introduce it anytime soon. Obviously, buying a quad core processor is going to be significantly faster than a dual-core, and your browser is usually less resource intensive than many other programs. I wouldn't use it as your purchasing decision. Firefox will run equally well on a dual-core or a quad-core, but windows and other programs will run better with 4 cores.

Can i install quad core processor on Macbook Pro 13"

appreciate any feedback

Notebook CPUs are not user-upgradeable. They are soldered to the motherboard, not socketed. Furthermore, the firmware is not written to support a quad-core processor.
It would be less costly to sell your computer and buy a newer one with a quad-core processor. The new 15" Retina models both have quad-core processors.

Leopard, can it run without core image?

Can I run Intel Core i7-3770K on Mac Pro 2010?

I want to buy Mac Pro but I don`t like ATI graphics and I don`t need server. I want it like "gaming" machine
So I will change ATI Radeon HD 5770 by NVidia GeForce GTX 670... will it work? I will install parallel desktop in Mac Pro.
And I want to put in Mac Pro Intel Core i7-3770K, will it work???
Thanks a lot for all answers.
(Sorry for bad english)

Build a PC. You are limited by the processor socket so nothing but LGA 1366, Nehalem-Westmere. No LGA 2011, no Sandy Bridge let alone Ivy Bridge-E
Yes a GTX with 2x6-pin power cables.
You are not a Mac Pro intended customer and gaming can be done better on Windows PC.

Firefox 4 for the Mac OSX is hanging much too often and does not respond to the "QUIT" Command for a time, i dont know if this is just me, but im running Quad Core i5 2.6ghz and 8 GB RAM the Graphics card is the Macbook Pro factory one

this happens when the browser opens websites in tabs after a period of time, i dont know how the Hang occurs but FF4 is not secure enough for me, so i downgraded to FF3.6 just for stability.

I have a Mac Pro 4,1 quad core intel Xeon running mac OSX 10.6.8 and I have just moved studios and now need to use the Internet wirelessly but there's no airport facilities on this model can anyone tell me what model of airport card I would need for this mac

Instead of getting a wireless card for the Mac Pro, you might want to consider getting an 802.11ac wireless bridge device that would enable you to connect more than one device to it by Ethernet cable and to eventually take advantage of the faster 802.11ac wireless standard.

Can Tiger (OSX 10.4) run on a Macbook Pro quad core i7

I have a Macbook Pro 2.2 GHz quad core i7. I would like to have three partitions one for OSX 10.6, one for OXS 10.4 to run some older software and one for Windows 7. I have these 3 partitions setup and OSX 10.6 and Windows 7 installed and working properly. I now would like to install OSX 10.4 to the 3rd partition but can not boot to the installation disk. I tried holding down the C key, I tried a different copy of the disk which will boot my older mac so the disk is OK. Can this be done or is OSX 10.4 to old to run on the i7. Is there another way I can install other then from the CD.

Apple cautions not to install an OS earlier that what the Mac came with...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2186
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2597
In practice it really matters if there were Hardware changes since that model/line came with 10.4, the earliest MBP i7 I see, came with 10.6.3, so I doubt 10.4 or 10.5 will run on it.
Is there another way I can install other then from the CD.
If you want to try it, you'd need an older Mac that could boot from that Install Disc & your new MBP in Target mode.

Can I partition a soon to be received iMac 27" 3.4 Ghz i7 Quad core running Lion and install Snow Leopard to run old applications

I am about to get a 27" iMac 3.4 Ghz i7 Quad Core with Lion installed.
I want to run one or two old applications that will not run under Lion.
Is it possible to partition the iMac to run Snow Lepoard from there when I need it ?

I have tried to partition my Macbook Air (running Lion) using Bootcamp but all it will let me do is install Windows (which I do nor want to do.) Otherwise it will not partition the HD.
It gives three options. 1. Create a Windows 7 install disc. 2. Download the Windows support software. 3. Install Windows 7.
For interest I ran Bootcamp on my iMac (running Snow Leopard) and that would allow me just to partition the drive
(with no need to install Windows) by checking "I have the Mac OS X installation diec... or I have the support software.." (which I don't) and then goes to the partitioning page.
If you can put me wise I wouldbe grateful.
Cheers
Roger.

I am running Photoshop CC 2014 on Windows 8.1 with an AMD quad core processor and AMD E1-2100 APU with AMD Radeon HD 8210 Graphics Card. I have installed the latest driver version 13.152.0.0. When I activate puppet warp, the mesh appears over the image and I can place the first pin. However, when I go to add the second pin, Photoshop crashes. I have tried with on a new, blank file, with just a few lines on it, but, as soon as I place the first pin, the image disappears, and then, as soon as I click anywhere else in the image, Photoshop crashes. I have followed all the online advice about settings under the Preferences/Performance interface, but nothing fixes the problem. Can anyone please help?

Video card to run 30 inch display for G5 2.5 GHz quad core

I want to purchase the 30 inch HD display for my G5 Quad core 2.5 GHZ machine. Apple states that it needs the nVidia GeForce 6800 card to run. I have the GeForce 6600. Will the 30 inch display run at a lower resolution with this card? If not, could someone recommend a PCI-E card that will? I did find a 6800 GeForce Ultra at Macsales.com but they state it will not run on the quad G5.
Thank you for your time and consideration

Your existing card has two DVI ports. One is single-link and can only run up to a 23". The other is dual-link, and can run a 30" at full resolution.

HT1270 Will a Mid 2011 15" 17 core macbook pro run on 2 8GB 1666mhz memory? Told quad core MB Pro runs on 16GB at 1066 or 1666???

I have a what is said mid 2011 macbook pro quad core i7 with 4GB at 1333 Mhz, and read this is upgradeable to 8GB but also it will accept and run great on 2X8GB-16GB at either 1066 or 1666MHz-Can anyone shed light? I'm hoping fpor fastest I can get-I use as interface for recording and for photo work now and then. I usually put a 7200rpm HDD in but this came w/a 750GB/5400 and I wonder if the FSB/RAM speed and upgrading the RAM max will make up?
I'm thinking rather than always use ext 7200rpm hdd top record buy 2nd hdd at 7200 and use external open enclosure I can pop in and out use only for recording-I am starting back to school and have MS2011 Ofc but want to add Win 7 no virtual hdd's please, second question-can I add this w/o wiping all clean to reformat? Is this required to add partition for Win 7 or are these newer models designed to simply ADD-ON such MS software?
DO I EVEN NEED WIN 7 OR IS THIS A LUXURY? I would think my WORD, EXCEL, POWERPOINT is all I'll need for college classes requiring MS/Windows-am I correrct? I can eliminate problem #2.
MAINLY I WANT TP UPGRADE RAM-I FOUND CORSAIR MADE FOR THIS MODEL, 2X8GBAT 1666MHZ, AND A WEB PAGE THAT SAID THEY HAD A FLAWLESS UPGRADE AND IT RA EVEN FASTER AND SMOOTHER-This is the best Mac I've owned and I've had 100, including 27" iMac I sold-too much for my needs-I'm a prtable person-HELP!!! I get YES answers from my IT professional and others tell me only *GB at 1333, so WHICH? Thanks, madthomii.

Hey,
Perhaps this is relevant ..........
(1) I have a very late 17" macbook Pro. (It is actually the somewhat rare 2.5 quad model.) One of the very last ones made.
(2) It comes with 1333 ram
(3) I swapped in 1600 ram
(4) IT IS ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN, THAT, THE MACHINE RUNS MUCH, MUCH, MUCH, MUCH, MUCH FASTER when you have 1600 speed ram.
(Indeed, it runs 1600 / 1333 = 1.20x faster on all memory operations - it's just that simple and obvious.)
I did many tests back-and-fore swapping the slow and fast ram, and it is very, very obvious, the speed difference. Most operations on computers are just memory bound - everything from startup to rendering and the like is quicker - obviously and clearly quicker - with faster ram.
(5) I have had utterly no problems running the faster ram. It reports and runs the ram utterly normally, no problem.
(6) These machines cost thousands, and ram cost a few dollars - there seems very little reason you wouldn't do this.
(7) I do have one of the very last 17" mbp. (It was "old new stock" - I bought it unused in March 2013.) So, it's possible that OLDER 17" mbp will not run 1600 speed RAM. But, I mean it costs like $100 to try, on a fantastic machine worth $1000s, so it's a huge win at low cost if it works.
I hope this helps future readers!!! Cheers
