Can Logic 8 take advantage of the Xenon 8-core processors?

I'm considering refreshing my entire studio now that Logic 8 is out (hardware and all). Does anyone know if the program can take advatange of the new Xenon 8-core processors? I have heard that the difference between 8-core and 4-core is not noticable unless the software can take advantage of all 8 of the processors. It's a big price difference between the two and I don't want to spend the extra money unless there is clearly a performance advantage to the 8-core.

I can attest that I'm seeing excellent performance with Logic 8 on the current generation of 8 core. I'm not sure if anyone has proposed a 'standard' reverb count test ala the Pro Tools D-Verb test but just to give you an idea:
My previous computer was a G4 single 733 with an upgrade card that made it dual 1.8 GHz G4. 1.25 gig of ram. On that system I could run 1 realtime Space Designer in Logic 7 as along with quite a few other plug-ins, but definitely only 1 Space Designer.
On my current 8 core setup, at 44.1KHz, 64 samples buffer size I ran 60 stereo Space Designers (4 inserts apiece across 15 tracks) and each core was running about 66% (2/3). I got tired of inserting reverbs at that point but I think it's a good indication of the efficiency and processing headroom available with this setup. All graphics are fairly snappy as well.
I took the plunge into 8-core land early because there were a couple of projects that I just had to take and my poor G4 absolutely couldn't handle it anymore. While the next gen of processors may well give you even more punch, I feel this level of processing ability will certainly be enough to handle the current demands of my music projects for at least a couple of years:)

Is there a cable I can purchase by itself?
Thanks for any help in advance.

The cables can be found most anywhere. For cables and adapters I always recommend searching www.monoprice.com first. They have high quality cables for very good prices. As an example search for TOSLINK at their site to find optical cables and related components. It's where I got mine.

I have an iMac5, 1 with dual core of 2 x 512 MB. Can I add memory to the original computer to take advantage of the new OSX Mavericks download?

I have an iMac5, 1, with a dual core of 2 X 512 MB RAM. Can I add memory to my original computer in order to take advantage of the recent OSX Mavericks download?

You can:
Maximum Memory
3.0 GB (4.0 GB can be installed, only 3.0 GB will be addressed)
Memory Slots
2 - 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM
You will need to replace the modules you now have with one 2 and one 1 GB module or two 2 GB modules.
You cannot install anything higher than 10.75 Lion as your model is not able to run anything higher.
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99.
If you sign into the App Store and try to purchase Mountain Lion but the App Store says your computer is not compatible then you may still be able to upgrade to Lion per the following information.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Be sure to check whether any of your applications will have to be upgraded or replaced..

Can a T60 take advantage of 3GB/s SATA drive speed?

I want to put a larger SATA drive in my T60 and am wondering if the T60
can take advantage of the 3GB/s data transfer speeds of some of the newer drives.
Does anyone here know for sure?
Thanks.

only the new SSD can reach that speed, no platter based hdd in laptop can saturate the older SATA 1.5 bandwidth.

In order to take advantage of the iPhone trade in, do I need to have met my upgrade eldigbility date, or do I just need to re-sign up for a new 2 year plan with the new iPhone 6?

In order to take advantage of the iPhone trade in, do I need to have met my upgrade eldigbility date, or do I just need to re-sign up for a new 2 year plan with the new iPhone 6?

thanks, a HUGE suggestion for you: Please add that to the restrictions of the trade-in details online, it mentions that nowhere and is VERY deceptive. Since at least 90% of 5c and 5s users are under a 2 year contract and both phones have been out just a year, there will be a majority of bitter customers who fell for the ad and will be taking advantage of the buy out options the other carriers are offering.

I pay for CC single app; I used to have CS6 or CS7 - Single app membership as well. I would like to take advantage of the 29.99 Complete package. Is that available to me?

Hi Scott,
The discounted price doesn't seem available to me. In my account, I
selected upgrade to Complete and it asks for $599 US. I believe I qualify
for the $29.99 per month.
What do we do?
Thanks,
Andrew

When will Creative Cloud apps be optimized to take advantage of the 2013 Mac Pro?

Yes, they all should if it's Peer to peer, or if any Router, Swith, Hub in the mix also supports GigE, & Jumbo Packet support is a big plus, but Computer to Compter should work with Jumbo Packets methinks.

Do you need an 802.11n compatible computer to take advantage of the new AX?

I was going to buy an AX to increase my wireless range, but wasn't sure if I needed an 802.11n compatible computer to take advantage of the new features. I have an old G5 tower and G4 powerbook. Thanks.

You need 802.11 N hardware to be able to receive those kinds of speeds, as well as the broadband service. I do not think the G5s support wireless N...

Ask the sales staff.

Can I buy my new Iphone6 at an Apple store and still take advantage of the $200 Verizon tradein an older Apple promotion? Or do I have to buy the new phone through Verizon?

I can't find any Verizon stores with stock of the model ipone 6 that I want so I am hoping I can take advantage of this promotion at an Apple store.

tahoegrammy,
We understand the excitment with purchasing this device. In order to qualify for this promotion you would need to purchase the device via our corporate store locations, online or Customer Service.

I have been using LR5 on a Mac mini. The LR was installed on an external drive. Now I would like to use Smart Previews on my Internal drive to take advantage of the speed. When I make previews they go to originals. How can I put them on the internal drive

when started with LR 5 on my Mac I used advise from Adobe's LR5 book, I installed it on an external drive, processing originals was a little slow so I decided to make smart previews on my internal drive to get faster processing. However the smart previews hook up with the originals and so there is no advantage just a bigger file. Is there anyway when I make the previews stay on the internal drive or am I locked in with the current setup. I can find no LR5 folders on the internal drive.
Thanks,
John Sr.

Are you doing a lot of spot removal or brushing?
This doesn't sound like a disk drive issue at all. Once Lightroom reads the file from the disk, and you are editing, the disk plays no further role. Using a faster disk drive here will not make the slightest difference.
So, I would check your graphics drivers to see if they are up to date. I would also temporarily disable your virus checker and firewall.
How much memory does your computer have? What CPU do you have?
How big (in megapixels, not megabytes) are the photos you are editing?

PDF viewer that can take advantage of the beamer class option \second

Hi,
from the LaTeX beamer class users guide:
You will have to ﬁnd out for yourself whether your display program and system support showing superwise presentations stretching over two screens.
Anyone know, what pdf reader can handle such presentations that use the mode \second ? E.g. in Okular I couldn't find this option.

Oh, I don't know how this is done by the beamer class. I already was afraided that I need to install acroread
