Encounter 64 bits work slower then 64 bits

The application i have when compiled in 64bits work slower than 32 bits.
Observed there are some site making the same claim.
Are there any mitigation can be made ?

Hi
There are lots of issues in 32bit vs. 64 bit performance.
If you need to access a lot of memory (4G and over) then you have no choice, you must use 64bit apps.
Next, if you are using amd64, then in 64bit code it has more CPU registers available, which can make it significantly faster than 32bit code.
Counting against 64bit code is the fact that the larger size of longs and pointers means that there can be fewer of them in the caches, so there will be a lower cache hit rate.
64bit code is able transfer data more quickly (64bit data path), but at the same time needs to transfer more data (64bit pointers and longs). No idea what the balance is for this, plus I suspect that most 32bit CPUs these days already use a 64bit external data path.

  • 64 bits work slower then 64 bits  - Q1

    Hi,
    This very much related to question http://forum.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=29241&tstart=0
    Noticed certain functions use up longer time for execution when its compiled as 64-bit compared to the same function in 32-bit.
    Here is a stripped down example:
    "perf.c" 17 lines, 184 characters
         1  #include <stdio.h>
         2
         3  int a(void) {
         4   int z=0;
         5   if (z == 0) z++;
         6  }
         7
         8  int main(void) {
         9   int i, j, z=0;
        10
        11   for (i = 0; i < 50000; i++)
        12    for (j = 0; j < 10000; j++)
        13     a();
        14
        15   return 0;
        16  }
        17Compiled it as follow:
    64-bit
    cc -xarch=v9 perf.c -o perf.6432-bit
    cc perf.c -o perf.32Machine:
    SunOS MachineA Generic_108528-24 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10 (UltraSparc IIi 440 MHz)
    Compiler:
    Forte[tm] Developer 7: C Compiler
    Timing it, consistently 64-bit slower than 32-bit:
    $ timex perf.64
    real       27.73
    user       12.45
    sys         0.01
    $ timex perf.32
    real       20.58
    user        9.18
    sys         0.00The same result could be observed in other few machines I have tried:
    1. SunOS MachineB Generic_108528-15 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10 (IIi 360 MHz)
    2. SunOS MachineC 5.9 Generic_118558-19 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-60 (II 450 MHz)
    However, 64-bits same speed/faster in some machines:
    3. SunOS MachineD 5.9 Generic_117171-02 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-280R (III+ 1200 MHz)
    $ timex perf.64

    $ timex perf.32
    real        1.34
    user        1.34
    sys         0.004. SunOS MachineE 5.10 Generic_118822-11 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-280R (1200 MHz)
    $ timex perf.64
    real        6.94
    user        6.72

    $ timex perf.32
    real        7.12
    user        6.73
    sys         0.08However, I tweak the code as following:
    1) If line 4 is changed to/from:
         4   int z=0;
         5   if (z == 0) z++;and compared to
         4   long z=0;
         5   if (z == 0) z++;long has some improvement (however still slower than 32-bit (in MachineA, MachineB and MachineC) )
    2) If compiled with Optimization on still slower than non-optimised 32-bit.
    $ cc -O  -xarch=v9 perf.c -o perf.64
    $ timex perf.64
    real       24.48
    user       10.89
    sys         0.02
    $ timex perf.32
    real       21.48
    user        9.23
    sys         0.013) Moving statement line 5 to line 13 (without the function) - this gives the same timing (64b ~= 32b)!
    Question that I have based on these are:
    1) How could we explain this above scenario? does this related to stack, variables?
    2) What makes it faster in MachineD and MachineE? Looking at this, its seems to be possible to make 64-bit as same performance as 32-bit. So is this something to do with software or hardware? which component?
    Thanks in advance for those who could shed some light on this.

    Peter, Thank you for the machine instruction level - detailed answer.
    Yup, I agree stripping down a function probably not a best way to benchmark it, the reason we have done so is because our application (just would like to add - which has intensive use of IO) become slower in certain modules when moved to 64 bits. I have used gprof for detailed function level timing, based on the data it shows self-execution time for certain functions has increased dramatically. However when I stripped down those functions - with dummy function calls, and loop it as many time - I was not able to see the actual reported difference anymore - the stripped down program show lower difference. As you described caching may have played a role here.
    As for the machine I have used, yes - it was not in idle however since both 32-bit and 64-bit were run at the same - assumption made was 1) both were tested on server with same amount of load - therefore this factor could be eliminated. 2) The code has no/minimal system calls - therefore server load may not effect the "user time".
    As for performance analyser, yup will try to get this up.
    Now getting abit specific to our issue - at the moment we are looking if there is any possible fix/workaround with minimal impact to our application . Therefore, we try not to:
    1) Move to newer version of compiler (we planning to do this eventually and gradually).
    2) Change optimization level (currently compiled as -O). (I believe -fast could lead to addtional memory usage)
    Besides the fact that 64-bit app uses twice the size of pointers that may effect amount of data in cache and thus effect the performance.
    From your reply I also leaned that :
    1) Compiler Forte 7 - The generated instruction could have some overheads/(redundant perhaps?) instructions =~ which could cause 2-3 extra CPU cycles per funtion/section (in any specific case, could this be true for codes that compiled with -O on as well?).
    2) Processor/HW
    Is there any other possible factors:
    1) Is there any tunable kernel parameters for 64-bits app performance that may be used as workaround?
    2) Dynamic libraries (e.g libc)? Is there any patches known to improve performance.
    Libraries used in our application using is as follow:
            libm.so.1 =>     /usr/lib/64/libm.so.1
            libnsl.so.1 =>   /usr/lib/64/libnsl.so.1
            libsocket.so.1 =>        /usr/lib/64/libsocket.so.1
            librt.so.1 =>    /usr/lib/64/librt.so.1
            libc.so.1 =>     /usr/lib/64/libc.so.1
            libdl.so.1 =>    /usr/lib/64/libdl.so.1
            libmp.so.2 =>    /usr/lib/64/libmp.so.2
            libaio.so.1 =>   /usr/lib/64/libaio.so.1
            /usr/platform/SUNW,Ultra-5_10/lib/sparcv9/libc_psr.so.1I am glad to provide more data if needed.

  • Safari slow loading last bit of page, then timeout.

    Okay, I ve seen variations on this problem, but never any resolution. Here are the symptoms.
    Safari starts out rendering pages fast, then about after 30 sec, slows down such that 95% of a page is loaded, then it stalls and times out. When downloading a large file, it will start out fast, then slow, then timeout. IE and Firefox exhibit the same problem, so I am convinced it is a network/network settings issue.
    Here's what I have done.
    Tured IpV6 off
    Reset Safari
    Delete icons
    Created new network location
    Analyzed DNS lookup with http_debug in terminal - no problem
    Checked download speeds- it's very fast but sometines it will timeout
    Directly connected via Motorola SURFboard modem
    This computer/safari worked great with Yahoo DSL but these symptoms just started after I moved and switched to Comcast.
    Is this a Comcast problem? Thanks for any insights

    G5 Powermac   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    I've got the same problem. The PCs on the network work fine, but my Mac will:
    -Time out at 95% of a page load
    -Stall when trying to contact a server (It'll sit there with "Contacting..." in the status bar for 45 seconds to a minute and then sometimes load the page.)
    -Time out when trying to connect to a server
    Browsers, such as Safari and Firefox, are all effected but other programs, such as Unison and Transmit, seem to work fine.
    I've got Cable and I know it's not the cable company because the PC in the other room works fine. I have nothing installed that would effect the network connection, just the default install of Safari.

  • I have a Macbook Pro 15" that is three and a half years old.  Although it has slowed a bit, it still runs well and runs every program I need. Any tips for how to keep this old computer running well and in good health?

    I have a Macbook Pro 15" that is three and a half years old.  Although it has slowed a bit, it still runs well and runs every program I need. Any tips for how to keep this old computer running well and in good health?
    I have a 250 gig drive and try to keep at least 100 gigs unused at all times, 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM memory, back up with Time Machine and CrashPlan, and have OS X 10.7.3.
    This was my first Mac since an old Apple II GS.  After that I used PC's and got really good at reformatting, replacing drives, reinstalling, defragging, resolving software conflicts, etc.  Since switching back to Macs (five in my extended family now), I haven't had to do any of those things. So, although, the cost is three times as much, the aggrevation has been ten times less.
    I'm retired and living on a fixed income and would therefore like to keep this computer running as opposed to constatntly upgrading.
    That said, any tips?
    Thanks
    It does have a crack on the left of the screen case about 3/4'' up from the bottom.  I've posted that as another question.

    Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    For disk repairs use Disk Utility.  For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior;  DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. Drive Genius provides additional tools not found in Disk Warrior.  Versions 1.5.1 and later are Intel Mac compatible.
    OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.  Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger.  These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
    OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
    I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
    For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack.  If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line.  Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
    When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
    Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
    Carbon Copy Cloner
    Data Backup
    Deja Vu
    SuperDuper!
    SyncTwoFolders
    Synk Pro
    Synk Standard
    Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
    Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
    Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
    Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
    Adding more RAM, if feasible, and a new, faster hard drive may also help pep it up a little.

  • Will Boot Camp in leopard work with 64 bit Windows Vista Ultimate?

    I installed Boot Camp beta in Tiger. Then I installed the 64 bit version of windows Vista Ultimate. Many drivers were not installed such as the keyboard mapping driver. I bought Leopard. Should the version of Boot Camp in Leopard work with the 64 bit Windows Vista Ultimate or would I probably encounter the same driver problems? Should I delete the Windows partition before upgrading to Leopard and then install the 32 bit version of Windows Vista Ultimate for all the drivers to work properly?
    Please advise what to do.
    Thank you very much in advance.

    Hi,
    since the 'new' BootCamp 2.0 also only includes Driver support for the 32-bit Windows versions, you will get a 2nd Encounter.
    Is there a specific reason for you to use the 64-bit versions, apart from maybe the 4GB RAM 'issue' ?
    Installing the 32-bit version and then the Drivers from the OSX DVD should give you all the drivers needed.
    Regards

  • Get Crystal Report XI R2 to work on 64 bit OS (win 2K3) web ActiveX viewer

    Can anyone help me with the issue below, I have been working on this issue for long time and have intensively researched the internet and tried out few solutions but non worked for me.
    <p>
    <b>Overview:</b><br>
    I am working on an application that was build with a classic ASP and VB6 COMs. The COMs load rpt file, this would be the report template, then it loads a recordset into the rpt file and gets displayed on the web page using ActiveX viewer. There are few activities done by the COMs, varying from changing formulas, updating header and footer, suppressing sections to loading data. We are using crystal report XI release 2 with SP4 and application works fully ok on Windows XP and Windows 2003 on the 32 bit OS. Now we are trying to deploy the application on a 64 bit environment and we realise that we can only do this on 64 bit in a 32 bit mode. As we have VB COMs and they can only work on a 32 bit system. So I have done the following in order to enable our application to work and for the reports to run.
    <p>
    1)     Configure the IIS server to run in worker process isolation mode<br>
    2)      Enabling the 32bit mode by running this command <br>
    cscript.exe adsutil.vbs set W3SVC/AppPools/Enable32BitAppOnWin64 TRUE<br>
    3)     Install our COM application and give the required permission <br>
    4)     Install ASP files with rpt files and give the required permission<br>
    With few attempts I managed to run our application on the 64 bit system using the 32 bit mode, but few reports still fails to display.
    <p>
    <b>Problem:</b><br>
    I am unable to run and/or view crystal reports on a windows 2003 64 bit system.  I have turned on the 32 bit mode so I am able to run COM objects and I am able to run my application and view crystal reports but some reports still fails with no error message. The failed reports display the crystal viewer with no data no page but only the top bar with crystal controls e.g. export, move pages etc.
    <p>
    <b>Analysis/investigation:</b><br>
    I run the same application pointing to the same database as my 64 bit (32 bit mode) environment and run the reports with some data and it worked fine, so I saved the report and tried viewing on my 64 bit environment with simple crystal preview page. Unfortunately it was same result as report came back blank in the viewer with no pages even though if I open that report the crystal application it will show me data saved with it. I have to say on my windows 2003 32 bit system that was fully working, I needed to turn on isolation mode in IIS 6 (i.e. turn off worker processor mode) in order to get all my reports working, otherwise I would get the exact same issue that I have with the 64 bit system. However in my 64 bit system I canu2019t turn on isolation mode, as the 32 bit mode option requires the IIS to be set with worker processor mode or none of the COMs will work.
    <p>
    So please could you help with any suggestion, or solution if possible.
    <p>
    Many Thanks

    Hi Ludek
    <P>
    Let me clarify a bit about the issue we been have:<br>
    For example we have report-1.rpt and report-2.rpt, both are very similar and in fact report-2 have a little bit more information than report-1. So when I install our application on a webserver in Windows 2003 32 bit system, with Crystal Report XI R2 developer edition + SP4, both reports work perfectly fine and application save the report and show it on the crystal report ActivesX viewer. So I made copy of report-1.rpt and report2.rpt with data and kept it a side.
    <P>
    Now I install our application that is the asp files and COM objects on a 64 bit windows 2003 and turned on the 32 bit mode to enable our COMs to work. I then run our application pointing it to the same database I used with the other OS, and I tried to run report-1.rpt and report-2.rpt, so report-1.rpt has failed with the viewer showing but no pages and only the controls. However, the report-2.rpt worked fine with data showing ok. So I copied the 2 reports I generated from the other OS and pointed my view report asp page to these rpt files, again same result report-1.rpt failed and report-2.rpt worked ok.
    <P>
    So I guess what I am trying to say is we are using the exact same COMs on both OS and to generate on both reports, also pointing to the same database using the same connection string. The result is one report is failing on the 64 bit machine.
    <P>
    Now when I try to export/save the report-1.rpt, the report that come with no pages, I get the error below, this is the same error I get if I try to move to different pages.
    <br><br>CRAXDRT Error Occured on Server.70 : Permission denied
    <P>
    Please let me know if I can provide more information.
    <P>
    Many thanks

  • How to get 64-bit install and 32-bit client to work on 1 pc

    I have installed a full 64-bit 11g R2 install on my Windows 7 D: drive, installed two DB's, worked great. Then I realized application I need to support requires 32-bit client (for drivers) so I installed the 11g client also.
    My problem is that my registry only shows one ORACLE_HOME--the 64-bit full install whereas Cognos reqs to point to 32-bit client.
    Sqlplus in 64-bit works fine (D:\oracle\app\dock\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\BIN\sqlplus.exe) whereas the 32-bit client sqlplus (D:\oracle\client\app\dock\product\11.2.0\client_1\BIN\sqlplus.exe) does not work. The error is:
    ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
    If I open cmd prompt and navigate to 32-bit sqlplus under client this WILL work to login (but then I noticed it was using the 64-bit ORACLE_HOME and PATH settings if I typed set). In order to fix Cognos, I changed my ORACLE_HOME and path to point to the 32-bit client (i.e. from D:\oracle\app\dock\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1 to
    ORACLE_HOME = D:\oracle\client\app\dock\product\11.2.0\client_1
    PATH = D:\oracle\client\app\dock\product\11.2.0\client_1\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Common;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files\ThinkPad\Bluetooth Software\;C:\Program Files\ThinkPad\Bluetooth Software\syswow64;C:\Program Files\Intel\WiFi\bin\;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Intel\WirelessCommon\
    Guess what? This stopped both the 64-bit and 32-bit sqlplus from working, even after bouncing the computer. Now the listener (64-bit) OracleOraDb11g_home1TNSListener will also not start either.
    Sooooo, I think I need to set the OH and PATH back to the 64-bit as that is what the Listener requires but any ideas how to get the 32-bit sqlplus to also work?!?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter errorIt works as expected. Since there is no Oracle instance in the Client home (no surprise), you can't connect "locally" from the 32-bit sqlplus. I.e. you need to use "...@connectident" in the connect string.
    In order to fix Cognos, I changed my ORACLE_HOME and path to point to the 32-bit client (i.e. from D:\oracle\app\dock\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1 toOn Windows platform, ORACLE_HOME should not be set by user (it is already set by installer, in the Registry).
    To pick up proper settings, PATH need to be set or used.

    Multiple homes on Windows is often a source of problems, since extra consideration and setup is needed more than just installing the software.
    If "Cognos" relies on system PATH, then one way to go might be:
    - put path to 32-bit Client bin folder first in PATH
    - set up a shortcut to command window with only 64-bit in PATH, for times when you need to administer the database via command line.

  • How to get GD library to work on 64-bit server.. tips...

    After several days struggling, I have successfully managed to install the GD libraries on Leopard 64-bit Xserve and I want to share my experience.
    First, I’m NOT AN EXPERT but I hope this posting may help people !
    Just a reminder, my experience is for a 64-bit SERVER running PHP Version 5.2.4, MySQL 5.0.45. Apache 2.2 (all out-the-box Leopard functionality).
    The instructions/tutorials for doing this can be found at: http://osx.topicdesk.com. You will need to follow (1) “Installing GD on OS X Server 10.5.x” and (2) “Adding the GD Extension to PHP5 on OS X Server 10.5.x”. These are VERY WELL WRITTEN and CLEAR, WELL DONE topicdesk.
    However, as the instructions clearly state you need a “basic understanding of the terminal”.
    For the 64- bit build, you need to set various shell variables, e.g. MACOSXDEPLOYMENTTARGET, CCFLAGS. These are used by the “configure” script.
    Now, a quick lesson in UNIX. UNIX has several shells or command-line interpreters, for example sh or bash, and the way variables are “passed across” to scripts differ.
    This is important and is the clue/magic for getting the instructions to work for 64-bit. YOU NEED TO ENSURE THE VARIABLES ARE BEING PASSED ACROSS TO THE SCRIPT by (in my case for bash) using the export command.
    These were MY steps, they worked for me:
    1. I logged in as root (shock-horror) using su.
    2. I switched to the bash shell by typing the command bash.
    3. Using the topicdesk documentation, I then created the following script called “gd_setenv.sh” to set up the shell variables. NOTE the “export” at the end of the line ! I also had to remove a spurious space in one of the parameters.
    MACOSXDEPLOYMENTTARGET=10.5; export MACOSXDEPLOYMENTTARGET
    CFLAGS="-arch ppc -arch ppc64 -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe -no-cpp-precomp"; export CFLAGS
    CCFLAGS="-arch ppc -arch ppc64 -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe"; export CCFLAGS
    CXXFLAGS="-arch ppc -arch ppc64 - arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -Os -pipe"; export CXXFLAGS
    LDFLAGS="-arch ppc -arch ppc64 -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -bindatload"; export LDFLAGS
    4. Your will then need to make the script executable by chmod +x gd_setupenv.sh
    5. Now run it. NOTE THE SPACE AFTER THE FIRST DOT. This will set the variables up in the current shell environment.
    bash-3.2$ . ./gd_setup.env
    6. Check it (note the dollar sign at the start of the variable name !). This should display 10.5
    $ echo $MACOSXDEPLOYMENTTARGET
    7. Follow the topicdesk instructions. DO NOT LOGOUT or exit the bash shell between steps as this will loose the shell script variables.
    8. As per the topicdesk instructions don’t forget to edit the php.ini file.
    I hope this helps,
    john
    p.s. once again I'd like to thank topicdesk for their VERY USEFUL tutorials.

    I think you need lib32-gtk-engines.
    EDIT: Never mind doesn't work for me either, lib32-gtk-engines fixes only the wrong elf class message.

  • Firefox will not open websites, computer is connected to internet, IE 8 64 bit works, (but not 32bit).

    I had deleted some awful parental control software that had installed with my Wifi/broadband box on my son's new computer. I am sending this from mine so settings are a bit different. IE 8 64 bit works fine, but niehter firefox or IE8 32 bit will loada any website. Help, my son is not happy with his dad!

    If there are problems with importing the IE Favorites in Firefox then export the favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
    If you do not have the menu bar in IE then right-click the toolbar at the top to enable the Menu Bar.
    *Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html):<br>File > Import and Export
    *Import the HTML file in Firefox:<br>Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import Bookmarks from HTML
    See "Import from another browser" and "Import from file":

  • Diablo II EAX Windows 7 64 bit working

    I just installed Diablo II .09 battle.net download edition on my Windows 7 64 bit system. The game does have an option for EAX, but you CANNOT check it, until you modify the key given in ALCHEMY's database like so:
    original:? (this key will work on 32 bit systems)
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Blizzard Entertainment\Diablo II\InstallPath
    New: (*for 64 bit vista and 7)
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Blizzard Entertainment\Diablo II\InstallPath
    Some users state that 64 bit systems automatically find the new key for you after adding the legacy key, but the option will stay greyed out until you make the simple "WOW6432Node" change.

    Since I have a browser choice, I surely want to use Safari 5 on my Windows 7 machine but so far I am having no luck. Safari runs for X minute (time varies) and then all of sudden crashes with a message "Safari has stopped working."
    Fingers crossed, the problem reports for those errors might cast some fresh light on the source of the problem.
    Head into your Problem Reports and Solutions control panel (or the Windows 7 equivalent ... the Action Center?) and look for recent Safari problem reports. Open them up and look through. Do they all seem to be saying the same thing? If so, paste the contents of a typical problem report into a reply here so we can have a look.

  • Photoshop CS4 32 bit settings work for 64 bit version?

    Anyone know if Photoshop CS4 32 bit settings work for 64 bit version?  I just installed Windows 7 x64 and I want to use my backup Photoshop CS4 settings from the 32 bit version.  Will there be any problems?
    Also, it seems that since I'm on 64 bit Windows 7, the installer forces me to install the 64 bit version of Photoshop CS4, although the 32 bit version is optional.  Are the 32 bit settings stored in a different location from the 64 bit version?  Or will both version use the same settings from the same place?

    I think you are misunderstanding me. The sharing happens via the user home directory (C:\Users\[You]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe ...). 64bit specific settings will be denoted with an X64 in their file name, 32bit settings will be without any extra tags. Beyond that, the programs do not access each other's program directory, which shouldn't be required in the first place, as the default templates are the same for both to begin with. You can of course also copy your brushes and presets to the program directories, but then you will have to worry twice about keeping them in sync.

  • HT5953 How can I speed up the "start speaking" feature in iBooks? (System Preferences Dictation and speech does not do anything to the speech speed.) The rate is a bit to slow.

    How can I speed up the "start speaking" feature in iBooks? (System Preferences Dictation and speech does not do anything to the speech speed.) The rate is a bit to slow.

    Hi, I had the same problem you described, and I noticed that there are two ways of activating text to speech on iBook for Mac, with different speed results (at least on my MacBook Pro Retina display)
    On your iBook you can select the text and and then click on > More> Start speaking,  and you will get a certain speed, which tends to be too slow.
    But you will get the speed you had selected with "Go to System Preferences>Dictation and Speech>Text to speech. In there is a slider to adjust the speaking rate." if you use the TOP MENU (next to the black apple)  under Edit>Speech>Start Speaking. I also learned that under System Preferences>Dictation and Speech>Text to speech, there is an option for a shortcut which is very helpful. And you can change Key. Hope this was helpful.

  • Trying to get SB live 24 bit working right

    *Trying to get SB li've 24 bit working rightz Well it works good except for one major problem.
    I have a TV tuner card that i have a 4 pin cdplayer plug going from the aux out of the tuner card to the aux in of the sound card. that in itself works then the sound goes to the speakers that are plugged into the soundcard.
    The problem arrises when i plug in my USB headset. when i do this all windows noises movies games, etc anything i play gets played thru the headset and nothing else. when i start up the tv tuner program it still plays out the desktop speakers even tho my usb headset is still plugged in and still playing all other noises.
    There is also a white 0 pin connector on the soundcard that i dont know what it does
    What can i do to fix this! its almost as if the aux connector on the soundcard gets fed straight to the speaker output or somehting lol?

    yea i was using a splitter and a regular headphone jack type headset but it was udder crap. i got this nice usb one given to meand works great for everythign but this. id rather not spend any mony on another working headset.
    so whats this about a capture program? would it make any difference if i used the speaker output from the tv tuner card to the line in on the soundcard? would that put it thru the headset?(now that i dont need the mic/line in socket i could do that and leave it plugged in as a permanent solution)
    even if i can get sound thru the headset and speakers id be happy as i can mute the speakers externally.
