Experience with upgrade GRC10.0 to 10.1 Version?

Dear all,
we think about an upgrade from GRC10.0 to 10.1.
Does anyone have experience with this?
Can someone tell me what a the main critical points and how many capacity / time was necessary?
BR
Melanie

Hi Melanie,
First of all, you need to be sure of why you are going to upgrade to 10.1
Did you encounter with any issues and SAP recommended to upgrade, as there are some issues as such.
Speaking of time, once BASIS team will install the plugins relevant to 10.1 and NW, you can go ahead with activating BC-sets applicable to 10.1 for some functionalities like simplified access request.
Could you be a little bit more precise with your concerns?

  • Anybody got any experience with upgrading Spamassassin to version 3.1.2

    Spamassassin 3.1.2 seems to have much improved (expanded) rules (over 3.0.1 supplied with 10.4). It would seem to be a good idea to upgrade. Are there any gotchas? How would one go about it?
    Also, if I want to kill an email address, ie: reject all email to that address, but still use a catch-all on the domain, how would I do that?
    Cheers.

    When you have spamassassin of os x server already running it is simple to upgrade spamassassin. I never had any problems - tested on three tiger - mailservers.
    Simply follow the instructions on http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/spamassassin/branches/3.1/INSTALL and upgrade on 3.1.3 (it reports itself as 3.001003) using the terminal and the perl-helper-app MCPAN .
    When doing this the first time you may respond to the questions asked, but you can also choose you are not ready for a manual configuration. This does not interfere with amavis, clamav or anything else.
    Worst thing that could happen is that you need to install the most recent perl-libraries on which spamassassin is dependent on...

  • [share]Share with you my experience of upgrading PC with zero budgets

    I saw an article on Mobile01 and thought it’s quite interested, so here I translate it.
    To share with everyone
    http://www.mobile01.com/topicdetail.php?f=488&t=4250581
    Share with you my experience of upgrading PC with zero budgets
    It is believed that many people have the same experience like me, a 3-years-old PC which probably work but unbearably slow. No need to mention that when playing games, it lags all the time.     
    Now here I want to share an incredible easy way to upgrade your PC; what’s more, it’s free! No need any cost to make PC performance up!!
    (you may say: ”What’s wrong with you?! I just wanna play a PC game, rather than mod PC. okay!?)
    No worry please~ It’s the era of smart end users! For sure a higher C/P is a basic requirement. I am just talking about a better performance; it not must be along with extra costs. If you have this kind of concern, then “overclocking” may be the answer for you. In one word, overclocking (OC) is tuning you computer beyond the limit to an extreme performance. So that you have a surprising user experience just like bought a new PC without any cost.
    Ok, it’s enough! I won’t boast of too much knowledge of overclocking because I don’t know much about it actually. (a truly overclocking….. means tuning voltage/ clock etc. OMG, who knows?! ahhahaha)
    In fact I’m only talking about a button! Only one you need to do hold out your finger and press down the button, how easy it is. And then you can feel it get smoother when playing games.
    This is what I’ve done. I make an experiment on Age of Empires II: The Conquerors, let's have a comparison of their differences.
    First of all, let’s preview the configuration of my own PC:
    Motherboard - MSI Z97 GAMING 5
    Graphics card – MSI N750 Ti GAMING 2GD5/OC
    CPU - i5-4690K  
    Power supply - CoolerMaster (1250W)
    HHD -  WD 3TB
    Memory - WINTEC 1333/4GB DDR3
    This is a close up of the model name. cause not every motherboard has this feature.
    Let’s open CPU-Z on OS.
    Then you can see this is Intel 4960K 3.5G, an original CPU without tuning.
    Launching the game of Age of Empires II: The Conquerors HD version (single team of 500 people). BTW, it seems to reveal your age if you also know this game! Saying Age of Empires, which was the bomb of RTS games at that time. 
    Till here, does there anyone recall the days of the eight guys’ gang war?
    Ops! I’ve told too much nonsense. Now I am showing you the differences of OC in the heavy loading condition of 8 teams with 500 people (stand-alone ver.).
    Look at the bottom at left corner, you can see the Fraps number of 18. Merely 18 fraps when I tries 500 people per team. Yes, it’s true! A terrible number no wonder it lags over and over. Unbearable….. I can’t wait to try OC to see if it will be helpful.
    So, let’s see how to use the easy OC feature- OC Genie.
    To boost, press Del and get into BIOS. There is a button at the left upper side, click it and it will turn to red. F10 to saving and leave BIOS. and then re-boost the computer. That’s all.
    (You can see a virtual button -OC GENIE. Just click it!)
    (Click it and it will turn to red. F10 to saving and leave BIOS. and then re-boost the computer. This is the time to check CPU-Z now!)
    (CPU clocks from 3.5G to 4G. which means you earn 15% performance for free!)
    Let’s test with Age of Empires II: The Conquerors HD version (single team of 500 people), the same as the previous condition.
    Impressive!! It becomes 27 fraps. Feel the smoother motions than before!!
    Then, I’m going to check online game! Although Lineage II is not really popular now, I use it for the test because online game usually heavier loading and has higher requirement on PC spec. 
    The following two screenshots are the original one before OC (Default).
    And check the below 2 pictures, those have better FPS improved after use OC Genie. 
    To summarize my test, here I listed the results to show how OC Genie did.
    Through the chart you can find that on the condition of extremely heavy loading, the performance improved significantly. Thus, I think you can feel the differences when playing those games with complex computing such as Age of Empires or Starcraft II.
    As for the normal MMRRPG games, OC Genie also contributes almost 15% of performance up. And it even optimized the pictures.
    This is my test report of an easy way to make PC performance up and free of money. Share with you guys and wish it is hopeful for you
    Thank you ~~~~!!

    Z97 GAMING 5 is a nice motherboard. 3 of my friends are all using this one, and me too! To those who are searching for a new gaming motherboard, I highly recommend this one! 

  • Experiences with Plugin upgrade?

    Hi,
    we are planning to do an upgrade of the R/3 plugin from the 2001_2_46C to 2004_1_46C. Does anyone have experience with this? I am especially interested to find out if this is a completely isolated upgrade or if we can expect some side effects in other areas in R/3. We need to decide if we can do the initial test on our development system or if we need a separate sandbox. Thanks in advance for your help.
    Best regards,
    Jeroen de Groot

    Hi Jeroen
    I'm pretty sure that this is an isolated upgrade (after all we did not make any special cross functionality test on the R/3 side). But it is a tricky upgrade as you will have to make 100% sure that your queues are empty etc before you do the upgrade otherwise you may loose data. You should also change to "Queued Delta" in the LO extractors and you should also do a serious test here. This could also be a reason for having a sandbox so that you are sure that you "train" the upgrade sequence (close down user access to R/3, close down background jobs that may create transactions, empty MCEX queues / V3 control, load data to BW, upgrade plug-in, put on additional transports to change to Queued Delta, and last just to be safe make a initial load with out data transfer to all delta target on the BW side).
    With Kind Regards

  • Any experience with USB 2.0 upgrade with VIA VT6202 chipset?

    Hello,
    I'd like to know, if anybody suceeded with upgrading his PowerMac with USB 2.0 PCI card, which has VIA VT6202 chipset?
    I found some of them very cheap and in one e-shop there was a tiny notice about supporting OS saying - MacOS X supported! These cards are sold under different names but all of them have same "L" shape, 1 port inside and 4 outside and there is VIA VT6202 sign on the chip .
    Btw I have Quicksilver 2002, 800MHz
    Thank you for your answers.
    Honza

    Well, I've found some notices about cards with VIA chipsets and they aren't very good - NEC seems to be more reliable.
    So again, does anybody have any experience with USB 2.0 PCI cards with NEC chipset?
    Thanks

  • Issue with Upgrading to 2nd Generation MotoX

    Dear Verizon Wireless and Motorola Mobility,
    Your 2nd Generation Moto X Upgrade program is fatally flawed and my experience highlights everything that could possibly go wrong when attempting to upgrade an existing plan.
    As Verizon replied to my tweet (my twitter name is @melting_plastic), “Getting a new phone should be an exciting time.” but my experience has been everything but that.
    My current phone is a Motorola Droid Razr Maxx. This was my first entry into the Android operating system and I fell in love. As a former Blackberry user, I was a bit hesitant to switch but upon receiving this phone in May of 2012, I had nothing but a great experience with it. This experience made want to continue with a Motorola phone upon my next available upgrade and I had waited to upgrade my phone until the newest Motorola phones were announced. I put off my upgrade for over 5 months waiting for the announcement of a new phone with my current phone deteriorating. The battery life has dropped to less than 2 hours and it has begun to freeze constantly with all the upgrades to software that it is unable to handle. Due to these issues, I checked every day waiting for an announcement of the new Moto X to be release and was finally happy when it was announced it would be released on September 27th for Verizon.
    On the morning of Friday September 27th, I attempted to order my phone, a 32gb model, through the MotoMaker website and my first issue arose. Even though I was eligible for an upgrade, the MotoMaker website required a credit check for me to upgrade. As I am not the primary account holder, I did not feel comfortable inputting my father's information for a credit check. I also felt it was not necessary as I was paying the $149.99 by my credit card and the account has been with Verizon since the mid 1990's while it was still Bell Atlantic. As I was eligible for an upgrade and not a new account, it seemed a bit much that this credit check was needed. After searching the internet, I found many posts from the original Moto X release about this issue and the solution was to go to a Verizon Wireless store and pre-purchase the phone there and use the provided pin to order the phone at the MotoMaker website.
    During my lunch break on September 27th, I visited the Wireless Zone retailer in Malvern Pennsylvania and waited for over 45 minutes to talk to an associate in an attempt to pre-purchase this phone and receive a pin for the website. This associated had no information about the ability to purchase this pin nor could he order the 32gb model directly for me. He apologized to me about the wait and his inability to fulfill my order but recommended me to go to a retail Verizon Wireless store as they may be able to help me.
    After returning to work, I decided to attempt to discuss my issue using the Verizon Wireless help chat on its website. The operator suggested to call the Verizon support line and that they should be able to help me on this purchase. I proceeded to place the call, once again waiting on hold for 30 minutes, until I finally was able to talk to a representative. This representative was unable to help me but transferred me to another department that may be able to. After a brief hold, I was transferred to an individual who was finally able to help me out. He informed me that the 32gb model was not in the Verizon system but was expected to be added on October 1st. He apologized for the wait but at least he was able to provide me with valid information.
    On Saturday October 4th, I visited the Verizon Retail location in King of Prussia Pennsylvania and once again waited 45 minutes before being seen by a representative. This time I was helped by an associate named Jeremy who knew exactly what I meant by purchasing a pin. After a bit of struggling to properly place the order, the order was placed with the help of a manager, at the price of $199.99 with a $50 mail-in-rebate. This became the 2nd area of disappointment. Not only did I have to wait to purchase this phone but I had to pay an increased rate up front and needed to send in for a mail-in-rebate. I thanked Jeremy for his help and headed back to my residence 15 miles away.
    Once home, I attempted to place the order for my phone. As I live 100+ miles away from the primary account address, I had planned to have the phone shipped to my work as I had done when I purchased my Droid Razr Maxx. The MotoMaker website prevented me from changing the shipping address and I was once against frustrated by this process. I used the MotoMaker online support tool and they informed me that I must contact Verizon and they can adjust the shipping address as each PIN has a pre-defined shipping address attached to it.
    I called Verizon's technical support line at approximately 4:30PM from my home phone. After once again waiting on hold for half an hour, I was finally connected to an associate and she was very friendly and attempted to help me with my shipping issue. She understood my frustration and placed a 3-way call between her, myself and Motorola support. During this call, she and myself became very frustrated with Motorola support staff as they refused to adjust the shipping address and stated that there was nothing that they could do. She apologized to me and suggested that I return to the King of Prussia location and attempt to sort it out there.
    Begrudgingly, I returned to the Verizon location and once again waited to speak to Jeremy. He apologized for my situation and saw the only way to rectify it was to have FedEx adjust the shipment address after it had been shipped. He informed me that any charges that would be incurred to do so would be credited to my account if I returned to the store with the receipt.
    I returned home and attempted to place the order again. This time I was able to adjust my shipping address and placed the order. While doing so, I received an error message and was instructed to call Motorola's support line. I called this line at around 7:45PM and spoke to a gentleman named Christian. He opened up support case 141005-006808 and informed me that because of my attempt to change the shipping address, this was why the error occurred. He instructed me to attempt to replace the order using the original supplied address and e-mail account and that I “must” use the Chrome web browser. This statement of having to use the Chrome browser was a complete fallacy and he refused to accept that any other browser could be used to properly order the phone. I installed the Chrome browser, attempted to order the phone and this time I was informed that my PIN was already used, likely during the original failed attempt. Christian informed me that he must escalate the issue and it would take an additional 24-48 hours. The simple act of creating a new PIN should not take this amount of time.
    On Monday October 6th, I was finally able to get in contact with another associate from Motorola who was instantly able to create a new PIN for me. I once again placed the order and this time it went through with no issue, order number 00789348. The only disappointment was that I now had to wait until “approximately October 27th” to receive my new phone. During my waiting period, I periodically check the MotoMaker website and during that time, noticed that they offered an additional $50 discount on the Verizon Moto X which would have brought my total down to $99.99. So on top of the additional wait and disappointment, I had now paid $100 over the current price through MotoMaker .
    On Tuesday, October 22nd, I finally received the e-mail stating that my phone had shipped and was due to arrive in Forked River, NJ on October 23rd. Using the FedEx website, I attempted to adjust my shipping address to my work, at the cost of $30 and a delay until Friday October 24th. I was unable to perform this action and then attempted to adjust the shipping address to the location I would be at Friday night (my sister's house) for the same delay, but only a cost of $5. Once again I was unable to perform this action and decided to call FedEx directly. After speaking to the associate at FedEx, she informed me that the only way to adjust the address was to have the shipper, Motorola Mobility adjust the address. With my previous issues with Motorola, I knew that this request would be denied. At this point, my only recourse is to have my parents ship me the phone to my work once they receive it on October 23rd. Even then, I'm unsure if FedEx will leave the phone at the location without a signature if no one is there to sign for it, which is why I attempted to ship the phone to my work.
    At this point, I'm extremely dissatisfied with both Verizon and Motorola with how this whole situation has transpired. I feel a though I should have purchased an Apple iPhone 6 even though I am not a fan of the iOS platform or a different Android OS manufacturer. As a Fios account holder, I am also tempted to switch to the competition after 3+ years of being a customer. I feel that both Motorla and Verizon failed to rectify any hardship I had experienced in my attempt to purchase this phone and even now fear that I will not receive my phone in time to mail in mail-in-rebate which needs to be postmarked by November 1st.

        MPerreca, This is quite a lot for you to have to go through! We surely don't want to lose your business as we appreciate your loyalty with us. I understand the challenges that can come in needing the shipping address changed on your phone orders. I'm glad to learn that the phone is now on it's way.
    I'm confident that you'll be fine with submitting the rebate for your phone. If you do run into troubles with the submission, please let us know. You can also pre-submit your rebate information, here: http://bit.ly/1kKwKJK. Let us know if you have further concerns.

  • Miserable experience with replacement LG Fathom, that replaced defective TP2

    Freezes
    It does freeze.
    Alarms don't work right
    I use the alarms & those didn't work right. I had set 1 for 9:30 pm & 1 for 10 pm,  The 10 pm one got up to 12 alarms--even though only 1 was set. Tech support wanted me to do a hard reboot but wasn't very thrilled about that as I would then have to reinstall software & re-set up linking & set up email all over again.
    After awhile I turned off the alarms. But they still went off. I did check--they were turned off. & then it got so the 9:30 one would freeze the whole phone. I couldn't activate the buttons to make it stop or snooze---they didn't respond & the whole phone was frozen so I would have to reset.
    Finally I deleted both alarms & set them up again. Working better, but again the 9:30 one has about 6 alarms that go off so I have to stop each one. I think one time I stopped all & the 10 pm one didn't go off. They are supposed to help remind me to start windiing down--the 9:30 one & then to seriously shut down the computer & get ready for bed.
    Sometimes they don't seem to go off or accidentally get turned off.
    Volume buttons can get bumped & turn to silen so calls missed
    Another issue is that the volume up down buttons can get bumped. A while ago I was trying to set up a drs appt I think it was & was waiting for a call back. I finally called them back when I hadn't heard. I think they said they had tried to call. Later I saw that they had--4x but I discovered the volume was turned off so I missed those important calls.  Not good.
    The keyboard is not very nice.
    Downgrade replacement for defective TP2
    This was a replacement for my defective Touch Pro 2. I had paid for that top of the line phone, & in CA we have to pay sales tax on the full list price!  Someone (obviously going by the specs, not actual usage) raved about how this phone was supposed to be so super. NOT.  The list price was about half that of the TP2. It doesn't have the digital voice recorder the TP2 did, nor a lot of the HTC features that I liked & used like the automatic vibrate for appts that were listed as busy. & I really miss the way that I was able to set several cities up in world clock & then I could easily see what time it was & what the weather was. Nice when friends were in those ciities.
    The keyboard on this is smaller & I keep getting periods in the middle of the sentence when typing emails which then makes the next letter a capital &makes it hard to read. It has 1 less row in the keyboard. The phone is smaller than the TP2, so easier to carry, but harder to see.
    Someone called me on Thanksgiving & I didn't recognize the area code, but I was trying to answer & must have accidentally used the wrong slider so the call disappeared. Then there was some icon at the top, but it was so small I couldn't really tell that it was a voice mail indicator, so I didn't check until way late at night.
    Verizon called this an upgrade--even though it was actually a replacement for a top of the line phone (the TP2 was a cool phone, if only it had worked well but it got so that it would randomly change orientation while I was trying to read an email, & it got so the backlight wouldn't always come on & sometimes even after pressing it multiple times) but I would call this a downgrade. While the processor is about 2x as fast as the TP2, it doesn't really work noticeably faster. I guess that's the winmob OS.
    Win mobile issues
    & of course then Microsoft did a # on users of WinMob 6.5 when they came out with Windows phone 7 which is totally incompatible. So phones that ran 6.5 can't run 7 & the software is incompatible. I had gotten it for busines where we had aps that needed 6.5.
    It has been a miserable experience with both of these phones, when I bought the TP2 I went for the premium phone, planning to keep it for over 2 years. Instead it had multiple issues its 1st year which I put up with for months. Finally got the replacement Fathom, which again, Verizon kept calling an upgrade but its really a downgrade.  I had paid for a top of the line phone, & got an inferior phone, smaller keyboard, & screen, less features & it doesn't work so well.
    Are smart phones less reliable than regular cell phones?
    I don't know if smart phones in general are less relaible than regular cell phones or what, but my experience has been very frustrating all the way. These are supposed to be productivity enhancers. Instead I've had way too many issues, & often tech support, while usually nice & trying to help, they didn't always know what they were talking about.
    Want a reliable smart phone that does what it is supposed to do--feel ripped off
    So I'm frustrated with this not very reliable phone & want to get a reliable phone. But I sure wasn't planning to have to buy a new phone this soon. My previous phone was a basic LG flip phone with speaker & no camera & that thing just worked so I kept it for about 5 years until I needed the win mob phone for biz. I no longer need it for that, & it isn't working very well, but I don't really want to spend the $ for a new phone right now.
    Really frustrated with the bad experiences with both phones.  I feel like I didn't get what I paid for & again I went for a top of the line phone, intending to keep it for several years, not expecting all the problems I've had with both phones. btw, the Fathom retail price was about half that of the TP2, even though the 2 yr agreement price was the same. but in CA we pay sales tax on the full retail.
    I would like to be able to get another smart phone that is really reliable like an iPhone, but really wasn't planning on buying a new phone this soon.

    Greetings caatkins4,
    When your phone is the lifeline to your job, it would be most frustrating to experience issues such as the ones you've described, especially if you do not have a back up in place for when things go wrong. All of our phones are tested to make sure they meet the manufacturer’s specifications before being sent out. It is regretful to hear that the refurbished Samsung Galaxy Note 3 you received may not have met these specifications once it was in your hands.
    I was able to review your services when I located your Geek Squad Protection plan with the email address you registered with the forum. Unfortunately, at this time we would only be able to provide you with another replacement. It appears we've already created the service order necessary, and presently, it appears that a tracking number has been created for your replacement phone. It should ship soon if it hasn't already, as it sometimes takes up to 24 hours for UPS to update their shipping information.
    I apologize if this is of any inconvenience to you. If you should have any questions, please feel welcome to reach out to me.
    Respectfully,

  • Share my experiences with the B520 Model

    I have purchased the Lenovo All-In-One desktop computer model B520 on Nov 15th. It arrived in my office on Nov 21st.  It’s been a month now after using it, I would like to share my thoughts about it.
    Pros:
    Saves space, this is the biggest advantage of AIO desktop; this is the primary reason that why I have switched.  Computers with a case and a separated monitor is a big issue for me. I never liked these cables for mouse, keyboard, speakers, …etc. it causes a huge mess under the desk. Now, with the All-in-one style, everything is simplified.  The only cable I need for this B520 Lenovo desktop is for the power source.  It’s designed with different wireless technologies. Mouse and Keyboard are connected through Bluetooth; The system has build-in with the latest 802.11b.g.n WiFi wireless technology.  It also has the enhanced integrated 5.0 speakers system that supports SRS Premium Sound Audio.
    High Performance,  out of all the All-In-One desktop models out there in the market, this machine has the highest hardware specifications. Quad Core Intel 2nd Generation CPU i72600 with Hyper Thread Technology.  This is a really powerful CPU, it gives its best performance when it comes with Video Rendering and image processing.  Word processing and gaming is a piece of cake for the it to handle. I do a lot of video editing so I will only chose this model of CPU.
    The B520 model also comes wit a Nvidia Geforce GT555M.  This is a middle class close to a high end video card.  It handles most of the 3D games in an acceptable setting, but will not be able to run games like BF3 or Crysis kind of games in high settings.  This machine is not for serious gamers, because All-in-one desktops has the performance bottleneck with the video card. Computer manufacturing have to keep down the power it consumes to prevent the machine from over heating.  High end video cards all have a very high demand for powers, at same time produces huge amount of heat.  This is why there are a lot of people start to customize their own computer cases with water cooling system. It is more sophisticated and comes with a lot of trouble.  If you want to have something easy, well organized, and just simply works, go for All-In-One.  You will love it.
    The Lenovo B520 comes with a Touch Screen, which I don’t usually use that often. If there are kids in the family, it will be a fun toy for them to play with. What I like better, is the Bluetooth mouse. The unique part about this mouse is that it has a build in gravitational sensor, means, this mouse is functional in the middle of nowhere, even hanging in the air.  You can imagine using it like a Wii game controller.Just move the mouse and wave it in the air and you will see the cursor on the screen goes where ever you are pointing. How accurate is it? very accurate!! it’s is more sensitive and feels better than using a Wii controller.  Lenovo has pre-install some games that can be played interactively with the mouse. The screen is 23″, so it would be a fun experience. I don’t have any kids in the house, so I uninstalled them all to save some disk spaces and speed up the system a little bit.
    The keyboard and mouse are both connected by Bluetooth; I also noticed that every time when I start the computer, it takes about 2-3 seconds for them to become effective. I assume Lenovo has designed it with a “sleep feature” for this two devices; it helps to save battery and extend the replacement cycle.
    The computer also comes with a 3D glasses. The touch screen has a very high refreshing rate(120Mhz) which is better for the eyes. The screen works interactively with the 3D glasses. When the computer is playing a movie in 3D format, when I wear the 3D glasses and facing the screen, it automatically turns on and I am in 3D mode!!! It supports a lot of 3D games too!!  The feeling in a racing car 3D game is UNBELIEVABLY REAL!!  I love it so much!  It’s a TOTALLY NEW LEVEL of gaming experience!
    Also, Lenovo has designed 4 slots for memory modules.  they have installed 8GB onto two slots and there are another 2 slots available to use.  This is very useful for people like me demands for more rams.  It also provides four USB 2.0 and two USB 3.0 port; more than any other All-in-one desktops on the market. The 5 in-one card reader is convenient for uploading photos from cameras.  two HDMI ports, I can also connect my PS3 or Xbox360 to it if I want to use it’s 3D touch screen. It has a building TV tuner, so watching TV on it is another feature.
    Cons:
    Even the computer is very well designed, as a high end user I found there are still a couple places that Lenovo can improve.
    1. Lenovo has researched and developed this RapidDrive technology; I see this is an option on the Spec-sheet for the product, but I never had the chance to upgrade it.  I demand for a high disk performance; I was a little disappointed when I found out that I wasn’t able to install another SSD high performance disk into the computer. I had to take out the 2TB standard disk drive and replace it with the SSD. It would be really nice if I can have the high performance SSD installed as the system drive, and the HD installed as the storage drive.  The RapidDrive technology may become failing out now, because it was from those years that SSD weren’t popularly used.  Compare to the present, SSD is getting more and more popular, the SSD is improving it’s performance and lowering it’s cost.  In the next one or two years, the RapidDrive technology will likely become a history.
    2. I have opened the B520 model to see the inside modules. I see there are still plenty of spaces that Lenovo engineer can use to expand the upgrade capacities. I can use some simple tools to modify the inside body a little bit to fit another hard drive, but it stopped me from doing it because there is not another power cord connector. Those extra mSata connectors are sitting there and watching me could do anything about it;  = (
    3. Lenovo technical support did not have a most updated tech sheet for their system.  Again, I am a tech kind of guy. I was looking for a manual to better understanding the B520 motherboard.(so I can modify it and add some extra hardware to it)  I have called their technical support, talked to people, went through their online data base,  they weren’t able to provide me this manual.  The lastest information they have is for the previous model. The B520 Model I have a the newest I believe. Lenovo should keep up with their technical support, and be prepare for experienced users.
    Conclusion:
    I am satisfied with it. I feel I have made a great purchase.  Would be nice it I can install an additional SSD in there.  Would nice if they can put a high end video card in there.  Good for home offices, and home entertainments. Not recommended for hardcore gamer.
    Price: 4.5 / 5
    Performance: 4.5 / 5
    Exterior Design: 5 / 5
    Interior Design: 3.5 / 5
    Customer Service: 4.5 / 5
    Time from order to receive the product: QUICKLY
    Other thoughts:
    When I was doing my research on All-In-One, here are the reasons that why I have chosen Lenovo:
    1.Sony has a well designed for their product, but the price is high. Most importantly, the video card they have is Nvidia Geforce 540M GT, and it only supports 8GB of ram, not 16 GB.
    2. Toshiba has terrible customer services for technical support. I had a very bad experience with them. I believe they have out sourced it to India base companies.  When the computer is out of warranty after 1 year, they charge a $35(or $30)dollars troubleshooting fee.  I think this is ridiculous to charge the consumer to talk over the phone to find what is the problem with their product.
    3. Dell has better customer service than Toshiba; They do not charge for talking and providing the technical support after warranty, but when it comes with parts replacement, that is something we have to pay which is understandable.  However, one thing I really don’t like Dell computers is that they install a LOT of junks onto your machine when you buy it.  It’s fully loaded with all these third party softwares who pays Dell for more users.  It not only slows down the system, but also generate a lot of garbage uses a lot of disk space.  I will reconsider to buy Dell if they give me a clean & Junk-free windows.
    4. iMac is also a good choice because it’s well designed too. but I did not chose it because it has very limited expansion ports and they charge insanely more for hard-wares upgrade.  They have extreme control over their product from customer modification. They don’t even allow the consumer to replace the hard drive themselves.
    5. HP also has wonderful All-In-Ones, but their hardware specs seems weak. Never dealt with HP customer service before, so I will not say anything about their customer services. Hopefully it’s better than Toshiba.  = )

    Thank you for replying.
    Where I can buy a seperate RapidDrive?
    I couldn't find it on the marcket, or on shop.lenovo.com  /  http://www.lenovospareparts.com/
    With the mSata power splitter, there is a problem.
    The data portion and the power portion shares the same connector I belive. I have thought of it but don't know how to make it possible.  any suggestions?
    the only thing I can find is this :  http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0317944   
    but I still need to convert the power connector because it's 4 pin molex;. I guess it should work if I use another 6" Molex to SATA Power Cable Adapter.  
    Also, I couldn't find which is the SATA 3.0 and Which is the SATA 6.0 connector.  SSD will have a huge difference in performace with a SATA 6.0 connector.   This is confusing because on the B520 Spec sheet it stated both.  I was looking for it's manual to identify, but no one can provides it. Last time when I called, they forwarded my call to Intel.  LOL!  I was like, **bleep**?  It's a board you used and you dont have a manual for it?
    Anyways,  
    Thanks  again!

  • My experience with iPhone 4

    Hey ,
    Thought it may be useful for some on my own personal experience with the new iPhone 4.
    Bought the iPhone 4 last Friday , was please upon my purchase, excited to upgrade from my iPhone 3G to all the nice new features.
    Firstly I was quite pleased with the new sleek design and the feeling of a quality product in the grasp of my hand. I proceeded to turn on the phone and was greeted by a new display with nice clarity and detail. The first thing in my mind to do was to check out the new camera and video capabilities, I was quite impressed... That is until I took a photo with a White background which then revealed orange spots.
    As soon as I seen the orange spots on the screen my first reaction was to search the Internet to see what the he'll they were, upon my search I disciscovered it was the bonding agent and that it should disappear within a couple of days. Not being too happy with paying a premium price for a premium product and receiving sub standard quality my intention was to bring the phone back to the apple store for a replacement the following day.
    Before I made a return to the apple store I thought I would see what other users were experiencing if anything , as always with new products introduced on the market there could be some teething problems. I wasn't disappointed, I found that there is a major issue with the antena and dropped calls as well as the proximity sensor issue, both of which I had been experincing.
    The antena issue was only a concern when I indeed held the phone in my left hand and not the right, however like many I wasn't satisfied that the phone could only be held in a certain way so that it was useable, this disappointed me further and made my mind up that bringing the phone back was the correct decision.
    The proximity señor issue might I add was quite frankly irritating as my face would end calls.
    Upon my arrival (Sunday) I was met by quite an arrogant sales rep who I explained my issues to, he insisted that he couldn't help and that I would need to make a genius bar appointment to see one of the many highly trained , military style technical wizards. All I wanted was a replacement but no an appointment need to be made and the only slot available was the following Thursday. Now usually my experience with faulty products is bring it back and get it replace there and then, not through appointment, however I appreciated the fact that the phone was in much demand and there wasn't much I could do until my appointment.
    On the Thursday I arrived at my appointment at the genius bar and explained my issues to the technical guy who was much more helpful than the previous sales rep. He replaced my iPhone 4 merely for the fact of the proximity sensor and not orange blobs or antena issues. As a result of the replacement the orange blobs and proximity sensor issues have been resolved, however the antena issue still remains.
    My situation at the moment is quite confusing, do I bring the phone back and get a full refund in mind of maybe having the phone on a lengthy contract while it actually can't make calls or drops calls if held in a certain way, or do I wait and see if the apple software fix resolves the problems. Idealy the software fix will come within the time frame were I have the ability to bring the phone back for a refund. I think many are in the same :position as myself.
    Posted from my iphone

    i am having sort of the same issue. as of now, i already have to send my phone back after one day of usage because i can hardly hear the other person on the other end of the phone. when i make or receive calls, have to turn up the volume to it's highest to hear anything at all. And from what i hear, it sounds like the person is a 100 yards away. my hands don't even touch the outside black line. and i still can hardly hear them. are you having this same issue?

  • My experience with the N97 - "my last Nokia"

    Hi everyone,
    I know this is a user-to-user support forum but I believe a complaint to be some sort helps users to decide whether the N97 is for them or not. Before you read on, this post will contain comparisons to competitors, so if you hate apples, feel free to ignore me! (Also I don't think users should stop harassing Nokia for what they have done to us - the more complaints the better. Igoring customers is not a very good corporate strategy. Eventually it will take them down - people buy Nokia for quality, otherwise they could buy a rip-off from ebay).
    Just skimming over the posts shows me that I am not alone. So let me share my experience with Nokia and the N97. I am too tired complaining about this phone, at least I think my experience has made sure that no-one of my friends and relatives is ever going to buy a Nokia again.
    When I bought the phone for then 500 pounds at the Nokia flagship store in London it seemed nice enough. Good camera, decent keyboard and features competitors could only dream of. Unfortunately, that's paperwork. For a start, the much advertised facebook application was completely disfunctional and taking into account that Nokia clearly tried to compete with the iphone (my apologies again for mentioning a competitor) frankly a lame joke. I know a firmware update has somewhat relieved the situation now, but I will come to that later.
    Okay, so I have disabled the facebook application. Not a drama, surely the rest will work okay. But then after a week some of the pictures I took with the built-in camera weren't accessible anymore (broken image displayed). Again, I have another camera and I was hoping for a firmware update so I ignored it. I had now started using the joikuspot app to browse the internet on my linux box. Very nice. I started using email a lot on my phone but again was disappointed. I have a £165 ipod touch here. Without kinetic scrolling and an extremely bad UI design, by which I mean the icons and menus (ignoring the graphics flaws all the time) it is no match for the ipod, so what i did was to use joiku spot with my ipod touch. Before that firmware update the N97s browser was also still buggy so I used joikuspot for that too. I was now down to using my £500 smartphone as a wireless modem. What a shame. But I was still hoping for some kind of magic update.
    Then finally, I found out about the firmware update. I had to open my phone, check the serial and visit the Nokia website. Unfortunately, the Ovi software and drivers supplied with the phone did not recognize my N97 properly. Something which I think was fixed with the firmware update (anyone seeing a circular dependency here? ) Furthermore, the built-in firmware update over 3G seemed to be disabled. So I made the journey back to the flagship store in London, explaining the problem. I was greeted by an extremly rude employee. Well, I think that's not really his fault, I guess he was just sick of all the complaints. Anyways, I told him that the 3G update was not working and he started to be really patronizing telling me that I wouldn't listen to him (he said it was "working" but "disabled"). Maybe I should have told him that I am a software engineer and that in 99.9% of the cases in which we disable a feature, the reason is that it is "not working". Anyways, he kindly allowed me to use one of their machines to update the firmware "at my own risk", which worked. At no point I have received an apology for the fact that I have paid Nokia £500 to beta-test their products.
    Now of course, the firmware update has succeeded, but is all fine? Far from it.... As many report on this forum the N97s battery meter is faulty. Countless times, my phone has just literally died overnight. It even forgets time and date! This is more than bad - every phone I have had so far complained about a draining battery well in advance. I had to dig out my old phone to serve as an alarm clock again - the fact that the alarm clock itself is unreliable is a alltogether different matter... One time the battery died during the day - after doing nothing for 4 hours in my sports bag (started with 1 bar down). When I had to make a call that day, for the first time in I don't know how many years I had to use a telephone box. Progress?!
    The firmware update has also barely improved the email client - just a few ui glitches solved. However, the biggest issue at the moment seems to be the weird memory organization. When I buy a phone I don't want to deal with something like the c drive problem. Reinstalling applications on the 32gb partition helps somewhat but why didn't Nokia do that in the first place? Has this phone never been tested?The phone is still way too slow.
    I can't comment on the iplayer app - says it needs wlan to work. But the youtube player has crashed every time i used it. And by crashing I mean it took down the whole phone with it. I admit that my ipod crashed a few times too - in just under a year (~3 times). But the reset was straightforward every time. With the N97, the only thing that seems to help is to take the battery out!
    Before I forget, the N97 doesn't even work as a phone. In a 30 minute conversation, the call got dropped 4 times. I don't know whether it was because of a calibration issue with the proximity sensor or a more serious problem, all I know is that this is unacceptable!
    I am sick of the phone and Nokia's service. The joikuspot app ran out and asks me to pay... I have paid £500 pounds for the bloody phone already. The adobe reader asks me to pay... (somehow it ran out without me even using it). Maybe you see why I am getting angry now - the only use case that actually put the N97 on top of my old phone was gone. What infuriated me even more, is that Nokia bundles this software with the phone. It cannot actually be deinstalled! It just sits there merrily and takes up my hard drive space.
    Last but not least, I have written to Nokia already, but not received a response! This is a Nokia forum with Nokia employees following the posts. I would be very, very, very grateful if Nokia could give me a refund. However, with them not even acknowledging the various problems I somehow don't see that coming. I'll probably have to sell it with a massive loss on ebay.
    Cheers,
    Will
    P.s.: I have all the same small issues as the other guys here - slider lock at the side not working etc. You are not alone... Has anyone complained about the music player? I have 16gb of music on the phone and scrolling is impossible! The Symbian OS is so obviously not built for a touch screen that it hurts. Of course they don't put much music on the phones in the Nokia store so people only find out when they get home...

    Solved!

    hi ! the nokia n97 is a really an amazing device. It keeps up to the promise of live online 24 x 7. I discovered it and wanted to share. Still there are some unanswered questions and if any vetran could help would really appreciate.
    i am an user from India. and have the n97 for about 3-4 weeks now. Practically I have been living online 24 x 7 as The list of unexpected issues that a nokia n97 offers seems unending, some of which i am narrating have made me scout on the web to try n search answers.Not that i will be able to action information you provide instantly. My new phone has gone for reparis(sic), so once its back can do that & will acknowledge your replies.
    My Quests:
    1. First things first! How to request for & get refunds for a Nokia Phone in India.
    2. Is there a touch querty as an input method? like windows mobile ? Request Know How. I now seem to agree to the feedback on one of the blogs.. that nokia designers feel that the average size of user hands would be that of big people & fingers like a japaneese teen. The physical keyboard does not seem to offer any additional functions other than text input !
    3. Predictive text where in the touch screen menu, the words dont get auto completed. This increases the number of taps/input strokes. Is the n97 intelligent & learn words from sms, contacts, emails. my blackberry does so. Request Know How & any options to edit custom dictionary. Auto Punctuation ? Am i expecting too much already ?
    4. Single hand use of phone impractical using touch pad t9. Entering alphanumerics on the physical querty is a nightmare... Request Know how on tips & tricks.
    5. Green tick yes or v button on top left of the text input screen. friendly again only for big handed people. Could this have been at bottom right. Is alternate screen for text input touch t9 available? Requested Know how.
    6. Unnecessary taps additional taps alomost in all menus...for eg.. sending a biz card from n97 requires 5 taps... in the other mobile phone systems it can be done in 3 taps. Requested Knowhow for shortcuts.
    7. Can In a nokia we get a view of the entire events as single thread.... No Provision for search display against keywords upon I can get call logs, messages - Here in Nokia, no search filters / advanced search and all searches results plotted to applications vs person/events. Requested Know How if it can be done like blackberry / windows mobile.
    8. Copy & Paste across applications. eg. Select text from web page copy n paste on message application.... possible on Nokia...? Requested Know How
    9. Call& Event Logs e.g Missed calls. If there are 5 missed calls the log will show the last called time only. In most other mobile systems Blackberry, windows each event is logged against a user. Requested know how on how this is handled in Nokia.
    10. Lag in picture display upon call. Number displays first and after few seconds lag the pic pops up. Is this normal & acceptable ? Other windows / rim devices show it instantly.
    11. When will Nokia enable usage of Native clients like google talk, yahoo like blackberry, iphone ? Any know how on possibility of release. Any equal alternatives suggested for n97. Tried Nimbuzz, Fring, Ebuddy. Miss the chat message notification icon on home screen, notification on the chat messaging icon, sound, breathing lights.
    12. Is there any planning for better email client? Likely Release dates?
    13. The Java App for GMAIL on blackberry shows an indicator on icon in addition to customised alert setting tone & breathing light for new messages. Retreiving Emails is consistent & auto on other devices. The Nokia Does not seem to auto refresh + No Notification. How is it handled on Nokia ?
    14. Can user friendliness be something where we can do actions with a contact or on contacts screen single view... e.g see contact on google map, Help on contacts screen/n97 help, lookup contact on server, filter by category. new address, new group, view, edit, delete, activity log (incl sms, mms, email, calls), call, sms, mms, email, send as attachment, send as im, add a custom ring tone, add picture, options - sort by, separators, sync settings, actions, switch
    applications, exit. We have seen it on inexpensive phones. is it possible to be done on Nokia?
    SOME OF MY STILL UNRESOLVED PROBLEMS Post upgrade to ver 12. Did you also face similar bugs/issues?
    15. Contacts inaccessible – “Memory Full Error”. No other applications were active at the time of the error. Just unable to reach any of my 3500 contacts through the contacts options & do anything.
    16. Pbk2 error upon selecting contacts in the messaging application.
    17. Audio Delay upon receiving a call. No Sound upon connection of incoming call. Especially if picked up too fast.
    18. Shows as searching for network constantly many times a day. We have 2 n97s & observed that both n97 almost have similar timing of network loss. Whereas, our other devices like blackberry do not show any weak signal signs.
    19. GPS Lock. Keeps searching for GPS locks constantly i.e Drops connection to GPS network frequently.
    20. Unpredictive battery talk time, standby & required Charge time.
    21. Voice inaudible at other end, when using loudspeaker & especially during calls from moving vehicle.
    22. Camera:
    a. Picture clarity issues. Secondary camera highly pixelated. Primary camera shows light flooding on pictures. Clarity Missing.
    b. Erroneous Time stamp on images.
    c.Lens Cover Started to show minor scratch pressure.
    23. Ovi Suite recommends erroneous updates for E.g Maps 3
    24. Text Input touch t9 screen freezes / Hangs, especially when entering special characters like period(.), comma(,), exclamation (!) etc
    25. Selectively & at random contact Name not displayed on Caller ID (sometimes)
    26. Selectively Message & Message delivery display number, instead of stored contact names.
    27. Sync Issue, All contacts not synced always.
    How to sync "categories" field as stored in outlook or how to map custom fields to Nokia.
    28. Format Mass Memory error, Unable to format. Unable to delete specific files.
    29. The auto lock... When attempted to unlock with querty out .. it still opens in portrait mode ?
    30. SMS Logs Not updated. e.g any sms sent before storing a contact.... after storing or adding
    contact the number does not get automatically updated to the name. It reflects the number still in the logs.
    31. Picture caller... The face is half cut ..Looks weird on most images... as the number is not transparent. In landscape mode there is enough space on the screen to put up the answer or reject buttons and displaying the numbers.
    32. Browser will close on its own & return to menu or home screen.
    thanks in advance for your time to stop & read. Pls do send any information that you think will be useful to me for making the n97 do some work.
    NEW additions:
    (tested on another n97)
    33. Predictive Text :
    Usage for auto word completion only on physical keyboard, when the Dpad down key is used it throws up options but the way the scroll is designed you can see the full word and one makes mistakes.
    34. another strange behaviour is on the text input... this was on an email i was trying to reply. the stylus touch will paste the last keyed in word !! we wonder why.
    35. and while showing off the second n97 we have (again 3-4 weeks old) - we were asked how much did we pay for this second hand unit - 50% off .. apparently the comment as the surface has got scratched very badly.
    i hope the info is good use to others who want to take the risk of buying this device

  • Problem with upgrading hard drive in 2009 Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard

    Current drive is 320gb with fresh install of OS SL updated with some other programs installed.  New drive is Seagate Momentus 750, same brand and model as the old, just bigger.
    I install the new drive, boot off the OS SL CD and go into disk utility.  Partition and format with GUID and Journaled. Install starts and ultimately fails every time.
    Tried to clone the 320 by putting it in the macbook, use the 750 via usb/sata.  Drive restores, but it is unreliable in loading and stability.  When it gets to the grey screen, it alternately flickers the Apple, Folder and NO sign.  Sometimes it loads, sometimes it just keeps spinning.  When it does load, it's slow and programs that take more power crash.
    Brought it to Apple.  They said it was a problem in the SMART section, so I got a new drive under warranty.  This is the THIRD drive i've gotten from Seagate.  Still doesn't work.
    I've countlessly repaired and verified the drive.  Helps to load sometimes, but not all the time. 
    If I put the 320 back in, everything works great.
    Thanks.
    -Ben

    Is there a quality external enclosure to put the large drive in, one that has its own power supply and not rely on the port power in the MacBook/Pro? If it is a viable drive and can actually run a bootable OS X version, I'd begin to wonder after all that.
    {I'd also looked up your computer in MacTracker to see what if any limits on hardware upgrade may exist. Nothing said of direct interest to the HDD. Also in everymac.com, so there should be no surprises. Yet to have those problems is troublesome and a surprise. New drives can fail. Maybe in batches?}
    And a clone of a working system for backup could be made with a utility such as CarbonCopy cloner or superduper, etc then tested as a bootable clone, with the hard disk drive tested thoroughly before use. It also is odd that a drive of that size would act up, I see drives of even larger size offered online by reputible resellers and Mac specialist companies who have been around awhile, such as OWC. I just looked to see if there was a ceiling on support of larger size HDD capacities, and 750GB is not the largest. Maybe the series you chose could be among a troublesome batch or brand.
    http://eshop.macsales.com/MyOWC/Upgrades.cfm?model=302 has a variety of stuff, including RAM, HDD, SSD, etc. And their staff has people who know what they sell. Well, some of them do. I had called them on a topic several years ago and they didn't really have an answer (I was given an OWC dual HDD external drive & it had issues, but had never been used. It still is sitting as-new, w/o support; now obsolete.)
    I'd try a different brand and put it into an enclosure that has its own power supply, ports for USB2.0/3.0 and FW400/800, and so on. Perhaps even an OWC line item, not that I've had any valid experience with them here in AK. And ask their people about their products, get names, finger prints, mug shots...! LOL
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Photoshop cs6 won't allow me to highlight my existing text layers. Does anyone have experience with this problem?

    Photoshop cs6 won't allow me to highlight my existing text layers. I select the text tool and the text layer I want to edit, hover over text and each time I attempto to edit a new layer is created. Does anyone have experience with this problem?

    Be sure you go to Adobe's Web Site and make sure there are no Updates for CS6
    http://www.adobe.com
    Remember if you have trouble with a software issue it is the software and not caused by the Mac you are using
    Many users simply don't remember when you upgrade software you normally have to go to 3rd party web sites and update software as well.

  • Anyone got experience with Filemaker and Mac OSX v10.4 on a G5

    I am in the transition period from PPC to Intel, and installation of Aperture. My main box is an Apple G5 DP running OSX 10.3.9 and I have the upgrade software to go to OS 10.4+ but have not yet installed it. I also have a recent Intel MacBook Pro running 10.4.9.
    Problem I'm experiencing is not unusual. If I run the current OS I cant run Aperture in the G5. If I upgrade the OS I suspect I will 'leave behind' some of the other software I rely on.
    My query is about one main piece of software I use - Filemaker Pro 5.5 which runs a database I created handling my analog image collection, client info, deliveries and invoices, accounts etc. It works cleanly and quickly and allows great flexiblity in preparing material for output.
    I downloaded the trial of Filemaker Pro 9 and it didn't like my old database when I tried to import it into the Intel laptop, and many functions seemed to have gone awol in the conversion to the newer software.
    I cant experiment with this in the G5 as Filemaker is a key management tool in my work and any complications I need to overcome will impact seriously on my work.
    So my question is - anyone got any experience with Filemaker in G5's - if I go to OSX10.4 upwards on this non-Intel machine will Filemaker V5.5 still run? And if not, are there any ways around this - eg using Classic environment?

    *"I go to OSX10.4 upwards on this non-Intel machine will Filemaker V5.5 still run?"*
    Yes

  • Problem with upgrading WL6.0 sp1 to sp2

    I just recently downloaded the weblogic service pack upgrade off of the bea site.Followed all the instructions and ran the install program.When done, the program, says the installation is complete.Unfortunately, when I run the server console and check on the version it still says sp1. I am wondering, did the service pack install correctly or didn't it? If it did, why does it say SP1 still and should I worry about it with later upgrades?Thanks,

    Hi,
    to be honest I'm realy not surpriced by the answer, that you got from Microsoft. 
    The part with the Symantec is something, that is realy irrelevant from my point of view in this situation. 
    However, if you can logon to the system, I can recommend to start TVSU <ThinkVantage System update> that will search for all the updates, that are relevat to your system. 
    Please install all updates, that will be listed. Basically those updates, that you will see will be all, that are needed for your system. 
     My second thought was more in the direction to make a restore to a previous state, so that it will convert back the system back to the pre installation stage. 
    If I were you, I would test this restore part before doing the TVSU part. 
    So in this case would be my suggestion following:
    - restore the system back to a pre-SP2 installation stage 
    - after reboot check ,whether the error is gone
    IF yes => do the TVSU part and if you want to , then do the update to SP2 
    IF no => anyway do the TVSU part only to verify, whether that will kind of help the situation 
    Maybe a question out of topic, but have you made some RnR backups before the SP2 installation?
    If yes, that that might be good, becasue from my past experiences with failed SP installation, I can tell, that only a OS reinstall realy fixed all the incomming issues, OR a restore to a previous date<from a backup, or using Windows own restore option>
    Please let me know, whe you have any comments to this situation.
    I fully understand, that it does not sound realy enthusiastic.

  • Any Mac Pro experience with 26" Acer-al2616wd

    http://reviews.cnet.com/lcd-monitors/acer-al2616wd-flat-panel/4507-3174_7-322280 37.html?tag=nav
    Did a search here and couldn't find anything specific to this monitor. Have a chance to upgrade at work and the Apple display is not in the running. If you've had any experience with this monitor, I'd like to hear it. I will be doing high-end print production on it. I curently have a Lacie Electron Blue IV 22" which looks nice but is square which I hate when making tabloid layouts.
    The computer is a G5 1.8 GHz. It's a bit old but it chugs along quite well.
    MBP 17" / G4 iMac / G5 MPro (work)   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    I'm using a Mac Pro (Intel 2 x 2.66 GHz) with NVidia 7300 and this monitor. I love it. It's amazing. Connected via single link DVI. Beware though, Acer shipped several models with a crippled native resolution through DVI. Resolved by firmware update that service has to provide.
    the one big problem is Apple needs to update the video card drivers to solve a blinking display issue when coming out of sleep. For me this is a minor issue for a beautiful 26" display, but getting really annoying.
