Can PS CS 6 take advantage of a high RAM system

Hi. I am thinking of investing in a workstation desktop built from oem components (since the components are quite cheap now). I have confgured a system on paper that has:
Core i7.
Dual NVIDIA video cards
32 GB of DDR3
Win 7 64 bit
There is a lot of discussion on some computer building forums as to whether programs like CS 6 can take advantage of such large amounts of RAM. I myself have 8 GB of RAM on a Mac and notice that the kinds of images that I open cause CS6 to max out on whatever RAM it can take up (causing it to use swap space), causing operations like nudge and healing to take some time. Can CS6 take advantage of such vast amounts of memory and also the dual NVIDIA cards with Open CL?

>> and also the dual NVIDIA cards with Open CL?
2 cards, no, due to driver issues.
SLI/multicard connections - no, those are intended for gaming acceleration only.
A single card with multiple GPUs, yes.

Can the iMac G5 take advantage of CAS2 or 2.5 RAM?

Can the iMac G5 take advantage of CAS2 or 2.5 RAM? I know it comes with CAS3 RAM.
THANKS

rob_ART:
i I've run some tests on a Power Mac with mixed results. In most recent tests, I saw an 8% advantage running the RAM preview render in Motion 2 with CAS 2 memory vs CAS 3.
It's possible to to it any number of ways. Some memory controllers will dumb it down and select one conservative CL value timing and stick with it. Others could bump it up.
It's unlikely to be that critical. A .5 cycle advantage wouldn't be that noticeable to most people, but some gamers insist on extracting every last bit of performance from their memory.

Premiere Elements 8 doesn't take advantage of all my RAM

Hi, I'm running Premiere Elements 8 on a Windows 7 machine with 8 GB of RAM. Elements usually runs fine when editing standard-definition video, but slows down badly with HD. But when I check the system processes, I see that Elements never uses more than 1 GB of RAM--even when it's really working hard. It's like there's some setting that is keeping it from using any more than that. How can I force Elements to take advantage of the rest of my available memory?
Thanks.

That would be right, Gavin. Premiere Elements is a 32-bit app and will only use, at most, about 2 gig of RAM.

Can G4 PowerMac MDD take advantage of SATA II hard drive speed?

A PowerMac G4 MDD has 33Mhz PCI slots and a 167Mhz bus -- correct? Can this architecture take full advantage of a PCI SATA II controller card (if it exists for a Mac) and a connected SATA II hard drive w. 16mb cache operating at 3Gb/s? Or even a 1.5Gb/s SATA I drive? Thanks.

Hi-
Or am I trying to cram a V8 Hemi engine into my Mini Cooper, but just hooking it up to my 4-spark plug ignition system to run it on four cylinders?
Aw, you outa get at least 6 cylinders worth out of it...and it will be one mean Mini C!
The SATA won't run at it's potential, there is no doubt. But, you will see performance increases over the ATA drives, this is for sure..
In my Sawtooth, after I installed the SATA drives, the speed increase was palpable. The SATA drives have better performance characteristics than ATA, and even without full data transfer rates, the increase in bandwidth, the speed of the drives, and the increase in cache definitely help performance.
As for the question of SATA vs. SATA II, SATA II drives are all backward compatible to earlier SATA standard, so there is no reason to "limit" yourself to early SATA. Most all controllers are SATA II standard, and the SATA II drives are the latest in technology, and give the greatest benefit.
I would recommend the Firmtek Seritek line of controllers. Bootable, and reliable.

I have a Mac with 10.5.8 installed, trying to transfer data from it to new machine, can't do it.until i upgrade to higher system?

I have an older Imac with 10.5.8 installed, (I have been told this is the highest version this machine will accept) I just purchased a new Imac and am trying to transfer data from one the old one to the new one, Migration assistant says I can't do it until I install a higher operating system??????????. How do i transfer data if I can't upgrade???

You will need an external USB drive at least the same size as the one in your old computer.
Make a clone of your old computer's hard drive:
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
it to the Destination entry field.
5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
the Source entry field.
6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the old computer's startup drive.
Connect the drive to your new computer. You can transfer what you want using Migration Assistant. Just select the option for migrating from an external drive.

How can I take advantage of the SPDIF out..?

Hi all, as my subject says, can anyone recommend the best setup where i can take advantage of the spdif output in my imac? I am setting up pro tools and/or logic 8 and want high fidelity sound i can with this great machine .
Links with info would be great, I basically want to send the digital signal into to Yamaha self powered studio speakers.
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.

How can take advantage of Windows 7 upgrade option?

Thanks in advance.

Hello
Thats a good question I never thought about a new notebook and Windows 7 at the moment because its not released as yet.
I know about this upgrade option and I have founded these links that could be useful for you:

TS4006 Can I take advantage of this feature if I ALREADY lost my Mac? I did not activate the setting ahead of time.... because I hadn't planned on losing it yet.

I recently lost my MacBookPro along with the rest of the contents of my backpack. Left it in the back of a taxi..... Thing is, I wasn't planning on doing that and so I hadn't activated the necessary setting on my computer to utilize FindMyMac.
Is there any way I can still take advantage of this feature and find it?!?! Please help.
Thanks

You don't mention which feature. I presume "Find My Mac". No, those have to be set up before losing the hardware. Contact the taxi company and the police.

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.

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:)

How many cores can FCP take advantage of?

I'm currently on a Core 2 Duo processor and FCP seems to range in about the 150-170% (according to my activity monitor) when timeline rendering. Can it do more/go faster with a processor with more cores? Or, is there a limit to how many cores the software can actually use?
Same question for Compressor... which, I believe I've read somewhere, can take advantage of at least 8 cores.

Thanks, Red... I really appreciate your response.
yeah, I think I'm clear on core vs. processor (I have one processor with two cores). I'm using a cluster to rope both of my cores into maxing out for Compressor.
Both of my cores appear to be working during a FCP timeline render (going to about 150-175% combined). I guess my original question was, is that about as good as FCP gets, regardless of the amount of cores and/or processors? The thought that prompted me to ask this question is, if FCP is capable of utilizing more cores, why isn't it currently pegging at closer to 190%, like my 2-core cluster does when I'm using Compressor?
Since I'm hearing that FCP isn't mult-processor capable, if I had a quad core, single processor would my timeline renders be going faster? Or, again, is FCP maxing out its capabilities with just my two cores?
Thanks all.

Can iMovie take advantage of a 12 Core Mac?

We are planning on purchasing some Mac Pros before they are discontinued later this year.
We mainly use iMovie 06 but occasionally iMovie 11.
I have read on other Apple forms that most software cannot take advantage of the extra cores. Does anyone know with any degree of certainty if iMovie 06 can take advantage of this additional processing power.
We are trying to decide between 6 core or 12 core Mac Pros.

I doubt it
You are probably right. Apparently there is NO WAY to know for sure.
Thank you for sending the link. I read the following, which I completely agree with.
"iMovie HD 6 is still the preferred version for working with the DV over Firewire codec. Newer versions of iMovie lose resolution in rendering this older codec. It also makes the best looking Standard Definition DVD's."

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.
