Difference between old and new MM?

Staying in front of dillemma. Don't know what to buy: old MacMini or new one with Intel? What is the difference between them besides speed? Is that difference so important for people who is not so big specialists? Thanks in advance for reply.

Not surprisingly, this question is being asked rather frequently at present, but it is now getting harder and harder to find G4-based minis, so it's not going to be long before there is no choice.
The Intel minis are certainly faster than the PPC versions, an in some applications it's quite noticable, though it has to be said that in the usual sort of tasks involving web browsing, email, typing etc, there's not much difference that you would expect to see. If you were planning to use iMovie, Garageband, iPhoto etc, then the Intel version would be a better bet, and certainly if you are hoping to push the system quite hard by regular and perhaps demanding tasks.
Personally, after testing a couple of Intel mini's, I'm happy with my G4 models - at least for another year or two, but in part that's because at this time some of the software I run is NOT Intel native, so it would run slower on the Intel models under emulation than it does on the G4. If you had a collection of existing software titles you wanted to run (things like Photoshop or inDesign for example) that would be a serious consideration to be taken into account in your decision, since these aren't Intel native as yet and no immediate announcement of them becoming so.
I would have to say that in my experience, for the sort of things most people use a computer, you likely would be very happy with either. Just bear in mind that the more memory the system, the better it will run anyway.

  • What is the different between old and new succession planning?

    Hi
    I have worked a lot on succession planning in 4.6c. In ECC 6.0, the succession planning has shifted to e-recruitment section.
    1. What is the difference between succession planning in 4.6C and ECC 6.0
    2. Can I still use the old succession planning in ECC 6.0
    3. Is there a requirement to transfer data from old succession planning to new succession planning if we move to ECC 6.0?
    Thanks

  • Difference between i7 and new i7

    Hi - not a critical question but curious if anyone can tell me what differences there are between the i7 I bought about 3 weeks ago, and the new one released this week. No buyers remorse but curious none the less.
    Thanks
    Jon

    Hi as far as I understand it the changes are:
    1. Around 4,5% faster processor with unlocked overclocking posibility.
    2. Memory running at 1333Mhz (think old one was running at 1066Mhz even if memorys was 1333Mhz?)
    3. A BIG upgrade of the GPU
    4. Option for 2 HDD:s directly from apple without the need to take avay the optical drive to get a 2nd HDD.
    Basicly the only big upgrade is the GPU, so unless you play games much you wont notice any difference between the two.

  • WDS between old and new AEBS

    First I want to apologize for this lenghty post. I want to provide as much useful info as possible. We just bought the new AEBS Dual Band and tried to add it to our existing WDS network and ran into a few serious snags. I really hope we can find help here. I've already spent many hours pouring through this forum and other sites and can't find any answer. Here's what our existing network look like:
    Gigabit AEBS N as WDS Main > 2 "G" AXs as WDS Remotes
    Wireless clients include: Tivo (G), MacBook (N), 2 iPhones (G), iBook G3 (B).
    Wired clients include: Tivo HD, PowerMac G5, Mac mini, laser printer
    What we were trying to accomplish is to make the new Dual Band AEBS as the new WDS Main and create 2 (connected) WiFi networks via WDS:
    N network (5GHz) > Dual Band AEBS as WDS Main > Gigabit AEBS N as WDS Remote
    G Network (2.4GHz) > 2 "G" AX as WDS Remotes
    We want to do this so the Gigabit AEBS N can live in our living room and allow the Tivo to have decent speed when we download the shows to the Macs or to transfer between the Tivos. Since the Dual Band is advertised as being able to broadcast on both frequencies simultaneously, we're assuming it can do this. However, I can't find any info online or otherwise that either confirms or disputes this function.
    When I tried to set it up as such, the 2 AXs work as expected. But the Gigabit AEBS N becomes non-responsive. I even tried to hard reset it and re-attach it to the network using 2.4GHz to no avail. At this point, the Gigabit AEBS N either gives the -5 error or, after hard reset, fail to acknowledge the WAN port when I tried to do a "basic" setup to test it.
    My first question is: Does the Dual Band AEBS support my desired configuration at all? That is, create separate WDS networks on the 2 frequencies (5GHz vs 2.4). No one I've spoken to at Apple has a clear answer. So I wonder if anyone who reads these forums has tried this.
    My second question is: does the 7.4.1 firmware hose the WAN port of the Gigabit AEBS N? I've downgraded it back to 7.3.2 and the WAN port is still not recognized. The AEBS was working 100% before the swap (and the firmware update that followed).
    My last question is: Has anyone experienced "stuttering" on the Dual Band AEBS? I haven't noticed it until I tried to playback some QuickTime files off the Airport Disk attached to the Dual Band. On the Gigabit AEBS N, the files all play smooth without any dropped frames (even during substantial network activities). On the Dual Band, frames were dropping every few seconds (even during an otherwise idle network load). When I look at the Airport menu (holding down Option), the Transmit Rate fluctuates between 300 and 1 every few seconds.
    Does this mean I now have 2 defective AEBS? Can someone shed some light on this? We would really appreciate any help.
    PS: When I take a peek in the "Wireless Clients" pane in Airport Util under the Dual Band, the Rate for the 2 AXs are hovering between 1 and 5. Does this sound right?

    I am in a similar situation. I purchased a new dual-band Extreme to replace the older G spaceship with the intent of extending both bands with 2 Expresses, one a new N and other an older G. I extended the N band successfully with the N Express, but when I tried to configure the older G Express I couldn't get the dual band to recognize it when WDS was selected. When I choose "join the existing network" the dual band connected to it, but of course this didn't extend the range.
    My first call to Apple Support indicated that I could only extend one or the other with an Express, and that I would have to buy a second dual band Extreme if I wanted to extend the range of both bands at the same time. I took this to mean that I would set up the 2nd unit would act as a dual remote to "extend the network." I returned the new N Express and got a second dual band Extreme, but before I opened it up I checked with another Apple "product specialist", who then told me that I could NOT use the 2nd dual band Extreme to extend both bands at the same time.....only one or the other. According to this guy I would need to hook both routers up together with an ethernet cable, then I could extend each network separately with the Expresses.
    There has to be a better way to accomplish this.

    There are definitely performance gains but how much is a matter of perspective and subjective to the end user, IMHO.
    There's a couple of sites you might wish to visit for more info:
    http://www.barefeats.com (they offer comparisons based on performance via applications, games, between computers, etc.)
    http://www.primatelabs.ca/blog/ (they offer a benchmarking app and posts their results on their blog page)
    HTH.

  • IPad syncing issue between old and new computer.

    I 'm trying to sync my iPad to a new computer, but it says my iPad is already synced to another library.  My previous computer and data is no longer accessible.  I do NOT want to lose what I have on my iPad, its a real pain and its happened before: the message says I would have to ERASE! everything to sync it.  This really makes me hate iTunes.  Thoughts?  Help?

    iPhones are not really designed to be synced, or even manually managed, with multiple computers. You should sync with a single library. Depending what you've done so far you may in fact have the same library on both computers, but if not see this tip on migrating your library.
    Even when you have exactly the same iTunes library on two computers iTunes "knows" to sync the pictures from just one of them, though in my experience they have stayed on the device when syncing with the other machine. If you copy the pictures over to the new computer, then select the folder to sync photos from on the new computer they should all get added in.

    I recently tried to transfer data from my old iphone to my new ipone4. All data was successfully transfered but none of my apps appear on my new phone. Any ideas?

    You have to sync or re-download to restore your iTunes content, as none is included in any iPhone backup.

  • Facetime between old and new devices

    I am trying to call my iPod Touch 4G with my iPod Touch 5G's facetime. Reverse way, it works but this way no connection. Again, from 4G to 5G no facetime connection. How can i fix it?

    What exactly happens when you try the unsuccessful way?
    If you go to Settings>messages>Send and Receive on both devices do the devices have comm email addresses/phone numbers?
    It could be that based on the Contact information you are tying to FT the same email address/phne number that is on both devices. You can't call yourself. The email address/phone number called is based on what is in the sender's Contact entry.

  • Difference old and new transfer

    I will find out the fifference between old and new transfer process.
    On one hand I know the old works with update rules an inforsource and transfer rules. the new one has an transformation and a dtp.
    also I know that there are update rules for direct writing and update rules for flexible writing.
    direct is for hierarchies also and flexible is to change data before the target.
    So my question:
    I wrote that I need Update Rules when I want to write from master data while loading data into a charakter. I wonder is the name flexible update rule here used in the same way as transformation rule? or do i really have to use the old transfer 3.x?
    At least the question: What is the real difference between direct or flexible update rules and a transformation?
    Why can'T I load a history with a transformation and with flexible update rules? Why do I have to use direct update rules?
    I would be very happy if you tell me that update rules and declaring rules in transformation means the same... but i think it is not like that..

    In BI 7.0 we have DTP to load data. In transformation we have start routine, end routine and transfer routine.

  • What's the difference between old workbench 2.x configuration and new IFCR configurations?

    I'm an Endeca old-fashioned guy. We moved from workbench 2.1 directly to ToolsAndFrameworks 11, my question is, what's difference between old workbench 2.x and new IFCR conf?
    Looks emgr_update update_mgr_settings isn't doing the same thing ifcr importXML does.
    I manually added a thesaurus entry, and ran emgr_update to load it to workbench, but it didn't show up in our new workbench. And when I ran emgr_update get_all_settings, I can see the thesaurus entry I created in the output. So... What's difference between these 2?
    Thanks a lot in advance for your help.

    emgr_update no longer sets or gets the thesaurus from workbench. In 11 all workbench configurations are saved in IFCR configuration directly.
    Hence the thesaurus entry should be added directly in version 11 Workbench as opposed to xml file in older versions.
    And if you want to migrate the changes across environments then import_site script in control directory can be used.
