Changing from Dual Core to Single core

If you ever need to change from dual to single core you just have to call Apple Technical Support to learn how to do it. Some third party software vendors software dos not support multi-threading. So it sometimes causes a kernel panic which unexpectedly quits the program.

ComputerGenius,
the easiest way: download and install the developer tools. These contain a preference pain called "Processors". With that one you can deactivate processors/cores individually.

  • Dual-Core or Single Core?

    I wanted a new phone for my birthday. At first I wanted the Sony Xperia Play, but it didnt come out in time. I also see the reviews for the phone, and they dont look so good. So, I am now thinking about either the HTC Thunderbolt, or the HTC Incredible 2. But I realized that they both are single cores, not dual cores. Should I be caring for the amount of cores? I have an iPod Touch 3G, and I like the speed of that device. I'm not sure if it has dual core or single core, but i am fine with that speed. I also want an HTC because of HTC Sense. I like its UI better than Motorolas or Samsungs. And I dont feel like rooting the phone either (yet). So, should I be caring about the Dual Core or is a Single core fine?

    If you're a tech nerd: wait for a dualcore, or you'll have CPU envy. If you're not a tech nerd, it honestly doesn't matter, get whichever phone has the features that matter to you (in this case, HTC Sense).
    The Xperia Play makes me sad though... both because it's not out yet and because it's (so far) VzW-exclusive in the US V_V

  • Change from edge firewall to single network adapter.

    Can I change from Edge Firewall to SIngle Adapter mode? If possible, what do I need to take on consideration for doing it.
    Thanks for advise 

    You can change the template by running the Getting Started Wizard (GSW). Do note that your configuration will be lost, you will have to export your configuration and then restore it piece by piece, e.g. you can't import the entire configuration
    but rather objects (e.g. rules, network objects etc). Then you'd have to verify the imported configuration and if necessary modify it to a working state.
    If the configuration isn't to complicated, I'd start over manually. If you go for the export/import I strongly recommend that you test this on a test system first to verify your procedure.
    But yes, its doable.

  • Re: CHANGING FROM DUAL CORE TO A QUAD CORE

    Im thinking of changing from a dual core to a quad core Intel Xeon on my mac pro.
    Is this a case of just changing processors or is there,more involved,motherboards etc?
    Please help,excuse the typing ,this is after takin me 15 minutes .

    The Mac Pro isn't like a PC. It's much more risk to upgrade processors. It is something I would never do to my Mac Pro.
    I wouldn't risk it. But, if you really want 8-cores (and let me tell you, it sure is awesome!), I wouldn't recommend doing it, but I have no other resonable options. I don't think Apple would upgrade it for you.

  • Processor question - Dual core vs. single core.

    I currently have an Aspire 6930 laptop that I bought about a year ago on clearance from Best Buy.  I'm quite happy with it.  It has an Intel Core 2 Duo processor (2.0 GHZ, 800MHz, FSB, 2 MB L2 cache), 3 GB DDR2, 320 GB HDD if that means anything.  I'm not a computer geek so really don't know much about this stuff. 
    Our old laptop is a modular laptop (about 4 years old) which my husband is using (I won't let him mess with my Aspire - long story) and it's pretty much falling apart.  None of the USB ports work, the CD/DVD RW is broken, one of the hinges is busted so it won't close properly and it runs slower than a snails pace as he's dowloaded any and all "speed up your PC"  and "diagnose your PC" programs from the web - if it's on the web it must be true, right????   Anyway, I've taken pity on him and have decided to try to buy him a new laptop as a combination 10 year anniversary/42nd birthday/Christmas present.  Money is a HUGE issue as I'm a SAHM and have been pinching pennies and clipping coupons from the grocery money to try to come up with some funds for this surprise.  I'd like to stay around $400. 
    I've found this one at Best Buy and it has good reviews....  http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Acer+-+Aspire+Laptop+with+AMD+Athlon%26%23153%3B+Single-Core+Processor/9...
    But it says it has a single core processor.  What exactly is the difference with single core vs. duo core???
    We are not gamers.  DH basically uses the computer to surf the web, watch Youtube video's, upload and download photo's, burn DVD's, etc.  He does talk with family overseas so I would need/like to add a webcam.
    I was also looking at this Asus model...  http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Asus+-+Laptop+with+Intel%26%23174%3B+Pentium%26%23174%3B+Processor+-+Mid... 
    But the Asus has a Pentium processor which I've heard isn't the best????  Also, it's over $150 more.  Is the duo processor and increase processor speed (1.6GHz vs 2.1 GHz) really going to increase the speed/response time significantly for what we do on the computer??  An extra $150 is going to be really tough for me to come up with but if it will truly make a significant difference I will try to find it somewhere.
    Your thoughts/recommendations would be appreciated.
    hugs -
    lisa

    Thanks for the input.  We really don't have the space for a desktop which is why the laptop worked so well for us.  The only place to put a desktop is on the kitchen table and then we are always taking it apart when family come for dinner (which is often).  I thought of netbook, but it does seem so limited.  My husband is an amateur photographer and I would like the larger screen so that if he decides to persue this he would be able to do some basic photo editing, etc.
    I think I will go with the dual core processer.  BB has an HP that is $429 
     http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP+-+Laptop+with+Intel%26%23174%3B+Pentium%26%23174%3B+Processor+-+Black... 
    and then another HP that is $499 
     http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP+-+Laptop+with+Intel%26%23174%3B+Pentium%26%23174%3B+Processor+-+Piano... 
    and I can't seem to find the difference??????   Except the cheaper on has more RAM???  Doesn't seem to make sense.
    Thoughts on the HP???

  • 2.7ghz Dual Core verses Single Core

    Hi, I have a Pro Tools system with PCI audio cards that I sunk quite a bit of money into. Needless to say, I'm stuck in PowerMac purgatory until I come up with the cash to make a total PCIe conversion. With that being said, I am now trying to determine what the absolute fastest (dare I say the best) PowerMac was before Apple moved on to greener pastures. What I've been able to find with some light research is that they built the obvious 2.7ghz Dual Core machine but also momentarily built a 2.7ghz Single Core machine for some reason. Can anyone shed some light on the advantages/disadvantages between the two? Thanks!

    You have received misinformation. The dual processor (not dual-core) model was the only one offered. Only the 1.6 GHz and 1.8 GHz machines were ever offered with a single-processor.
    All G5s at 2.5 GHz and above were also liquid cooled, so you may want to take that into account. Should one of them develop a leak, the repair bill is astronomical, assuming you can't coax Apple into fixing it as a design defect.

  • Change from dual ip bridge to single ip server - advice?

    Our server is currently as follows:
    10.4.11,
    en0 - private ip address
    en1 - public ip address
    en1 is primary ip with all usual DNS resolving.
    We run, mail, web, ftp, OD, AFP, private side DNS, VPN, NAT and IP forward for private clients sharing en1 public ip address.
    I plan to take the server out of the bridging job and have it only on the private network side behind a firewall and router. I intend to port forward the net services to the server at its private ip address, eliminating the primary ip address and interface altogether.
    I plan to make a full backup in advance in case of trouble.
    I assume that we can back up OD, pull the ethernet card (or leave card in and change en0 to primary??), run changeip and restore OD...
    Any advice or experience would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance - Erich

    No, I don't have any special information. I'm just going by my experience when I had to change the primary IP when we changed services from DSL to FIOS with our ISP. When we made that change, we got a new IP and since the internet side is the primary address had to run changeip which resulted in strange OD behavior until restoring the database from a backup.
    With what I am doing here there will be a new primary IP too. I assume I am doing the same thing here since I need to change to the private IP as the server machine's primary address now. The server's primary address / ethernet connection is going to be disconnected so it can be run through the router. I assume that since there won't be any connection on the port listed as the primary that something needs to be changed. I don't want to have to start from scratch since we plan to move to 10.5 in a few months anyway.
    I don't have enough experience to be confident of this type of change going smoothly.

  • How to change from creative cloud to single-app?

    I'm currently on the annual creative cloud membership. I'd like to change to a single-app membership, since I only need Photoshop right now. How do I do that? Do I have to cancel the current plan and then sign up for the single-app plan, or is there an easier way?

    As mentioned by you, you need to cancel the present CC & purchase the single app. The cancellation fee can be waived off for such instances.

  • Trying to upgrade from dual 500MHz to single processor

    Question 1
    My Mac G4 GE has a dual 500 Mhz processor installed. Is it possible to upgrade to a 7447, 7448 or 7455 single processor or do I have to stay with a dual processor for my G4 to work?
    Question #2
    Can you tell me when the upgrade will not help anymore since my G4 has a 100Mhz Bus or maybe any other hardware that will limit the processor up to a certain speed?
    Thank you guys

    Hi-
    Is it possible to upgrade to a 7447, 7448 or 7455 single processor
    Yes.
    do I have to stay with a dual processor for my G4 to work?
    No.
    maybe any other hardware that will limit the processor up to a certain speed?
    The processor will run at stated speed.
    Any hardware that is faster or more powerful than the component being replaced will enhance performance.
    Can you tell me when the upgrade will not help anymore since my G4 has a 100Mh
    RAM is the only thing that will not be upgradeable, as far as speed. Larger capacity is no problem, and will help performance.
    Of course, all upgrades are relative to the bus speed and throughput on the bus. As compared to a faster system, the performance won't be as high overall.
    But, this is comparing apples to oranges......

  • How to go from dual boot to single boot? Assistance needed

    So I have been running Windows 10 long enough now that I am comfortable using it as my daily driver. I have a backup of my previous Windows 7 install should I need to go back for some reason. Currently I have Windows 7 and Windows 10 installed on separate
    partitions on the same hard drive.  I would now like to format that partition and move the space back to a single drive.
    How can I do this. I know I could just format that partition but then upon booting it would still ask me which one I want to boot into. 
    I have intentions of encrypting my hard drive once this is accomplished, and the program im using asks if a system is multiboot or not. I am worried if I dont fix this issue before and tell it no that the MBR may screw something up in the encryption process. 
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

      I usually just go into bcdedit and delete the entry for the OS I no longer want, then format the partition.

  • Change from Family Plan to Single Plan

    I have a family plan with 2 lines.  Mine is the primary line, but we have about a year and a half left on our contract.  I need to change my plan so that I do not have the family plan anymore, and just keep my own line.  My question is, will I be charged extra fees to drop a line, will my bill go down or stay the same, and will I lose my unlimited data?

    Both lines started a new contract about 6 months ago?  (that's how I read we have about a year and a half left on our contract)  Is there someone who is to take over the second line?  If you got two discounted phones 6 months ago, then both lines are under contract.  There will be an ETF on the line you cancel - $350 less ~$60 if it is a smartphone, $175 less ~$30 if it is a basic phone that was purchased initially.
    I don't know what your plan is now, or what you might change it to, so I have no idea if the bill will go up or down.   You said you have unlimited data now, so you must have had the plan prior to this recent upgrade.... however, if you change plans (and dropping a line and switching to an individual plan will be a plan change) then it's likely the unlimited data will not carry over to the new plan.
    Each line has it's own contract and upgrade eligibility.  Call #UPG on each phone to see when each line is eligible for an upgrade and when the contract ends for that line (or log on to MyVerizon as the account owner and view the information for each line there)
    Post back if you have further questions - you really didn't provide enough information to give you a more definite answer.

  • Change from Continuous View to Single page for presentation in Ipad.

    I am a Windows/Android user. I could not find anything to accomplish this or anything else for that matter. No view menu...

    If you have the current version of Reader for the iPad (11.2.3), open your PDF.
    Click on the upper part of the page so you can see the menus above. Click on the icon that looks like an eye. Then you can choose View Modes: Continuous or Single Page, and an option for Night Mode.

  • Unable to capture data from Serial port using LVRT2010 in single core pentium 4 machine

    I am using application written in Labview using windows Labview
    Runtime environment 2010. Application creates a tunnel to intercept data from
    Serial port.
    My problem is, Currently, I am using single core Pentium
    processor. When I am trying to intercept the data between COM1 and COM7 (COM 7
    is a virtual port) it is not able to capture data.
    When I am running Labview RT environment using dual core
    processor machine it is running normally. I wonder whether it could be the compatibility issues with
    single core Pentium processor.

    Hi Magnetica
    Are both of the machines running the same runtime engine,
    drivers ect?
    Have you had RT applications running on this
    machine before?
    Is the development computer a 64bit machine?
    The processor is a supported model (See link below).

  • Mac Pro 1,1 (2006) Upgrade from Dual-Core to Quad (or more)

    Many thanks.

  • Rendering MP4 with AME from After Effects is always single-core?

    When I render MP4 from After Effects CC 2014.2 (by AME) then rendering always is slow and only single-core, despite that in AE prefs Multiprocessor rendering is set.
    Why?

    I have made quick test now.
    AE's Render Queue: render time 53s - average CPU load about 50% (12 cores, 8 rendering threads at this case) - 8 threads active in Process Explorer
    AME Render: 2m08s - average CPU load about 20% (same machine) - 1 thread active in Process Explorer
    (please note that this was simple project; at 8active/12total cores this should be 66% or even more total CPUs load, so probably much time was disk I/Os - if only was 50% of total CUP load)
    So essential question is:
    Is AME CC 2014.2 renders AE projects as set in AE prefs in multiprocessing?
    Or maybe there is separate option in AME to turn on multiprocessing on AE's projects?
