Call Apple enterprise. They will "probably" help you with this. No guarantees, but they have been far more helpful than the "rules" would allow for me. I am not sold on Apple's servers anymore because of their support issues, but Apple Enterprise has always been good to me,

Faster Processor: 3.5ghz quad i7 vs 3.7ghz quad Xeon?

Which Processor is faster?
3.5ghz quad i7 vs 3.7ghz quad Xeon?
So which is the faster processor for Logic X?
I think Logic supports hyper threading also....
It's basically iMac maxed out vs base level Mac Pro...
Which would be better for Logic Pro... How much faster at a guess do you think it will be?
I don't really need a top monitor and don't really need to graphics cards what do you suggest i go for?

If you will be using resource intensive applications in a vocational context frequently, the faster CPU will probably pay for it self.
If you are an avocational user, for the overwhelming majority of usage, there will little of any difference in performance when using most applications. It then becomes more of a question of bragging rights.
To put it another way, if you live in the country, a Ferrari makes sense but not so in the center of Manhattan.
Ciao.

Which Mac Pro? More cores=slower speeds? And most of us know the speed matters or FPU for music and I don't understand the faster is for the least amount of procs. And while I get the whole rendering thing and why it makes sense.

The above is what the bar says. It's been a while and wondered, maybe Apple changed the format for forums. Then got this nice big blank canvas to air my concerns. Went to school for Computer Science, BSEE, even worked at Analog Devices in Newton Massachusetts, where they make something for apple.
The bottom line is fast CPU = more FPU = more headroom and still can't figure out why the more cores= the slower it gets unless it's to get us in to a 6 core then come out with faster cores down the road or a newer Mac that uses the GPU. Also. Few. I'm the guy who said a few years ago Mac has an FCP that looks like iMovie on Steroids. Having said that I called the campus one day to ask them something and while I used to work for Apple, I think she thought I still did as she asked me, "HOW ARE THE 32 CORES/1DYE COMING ALONG? Not wanting to embarrass her I said fine, fine and then hung up. Makes the most sense as I never quite got the 2,6,12 cores when for years everything from memory to CPU's have been, in sets of 2 to the 2nd power. 2,4,8,16,32,64,120,256,512, 1024, 2048,4196,8192, 72,768. Wow. W-O-W and will be using whatever I get with Apollo Quad.
Peace to all and hope someone can point us in THE RIGHT DIRECTION. THANK YOU

Thanks for your reply via email/msg. He wrote:
If you are interested in the actual design data for the Xeon processor, go to the Intel site and the actual CPU part numbers are:
Xeon 4 core - E5.1620v2
Xeon 6 core - E5.1650v2
Xeon 8 core - E5.1680v2
Xeon 12 core - E5.2697v2
I read that the CPU is easy to swap out but am sure something goes wrong at a certain point - even if solderedon they make material to absorb the solder, making your work area VERY clean.
My Question now is this, get an 8 core, then replace with 2 3.7 QUAD CHIPS, what would happen?
I also noticed that the 8 core Mac Pro is 3.0 when in fact they do have a 3.4 8 core chip, so 2 =16? Or if correct, wouldn't you be able to replace a QUAD CHIP WITH THAT? I;M SURE THEY ARE UO TO SOMETHING AS 1) WE HAVE SEEN NO AUDIO FPU OR PERHAPS I SHOULD CHECK OUT PC MAKERS WINDOWS machines for Sisoft Sandra "B-E-N-C-H-M-A-R-K-S" -
SOMETHINGS UP AND AM SURE WE'LL ALL BE PLEASED, AS the mac pro was announced Last year, barely made the December mark, then pushed to January, then February and now April.
Would rather wait and have it done correct than released to early only to have it benchmarked in audio and found to be slower in a few areas- - - the logical part of my brain is wondering what else I would have to swap out as I am sure it would run, and fine for a while, then, poof....
PEACE===AM SURE APPLE WILL BLOW US AWAY - they have to figure out how to increase the power for 150 watts or make the GPU work which in regard to FPU, I thought was NVIDIA?

Can I add a faster processor to my mac book pro early 2011

I am looking to either increase ram or better still if I can afford it, put in a faster processor, my laptop is quite slow....and with more than two programs open, it can sometimes grind to a halt....
thanks

Have a look at OWC and Crucial for your RAM and SSD upgrade if you wish.
Going through Apple for the RAM will cost you more than what OWC and Crucial are selling it for.
SSD is like a hard drive with no moving parts. ( basic explaination ) Performs faster than your average hard drive.
SSD can come in either internal or external (via enclosure), in your case however, it's best to get an internal one for you MB.

Which is better, faster processor or more ram?

Hello all!
I'm planning on upgrading from my 1.33Ghz g4 ibook with 512mb of ram to a new macbook, because Logic Express 7 and Final Cut Express 3.5 don't run very well on my current system. Because of money constraints, I'm limited in what features I can afford, so I'd like some advice from other mac users. In having to choose between getting an entry level macbook with 2gb of ram, or the mid-level macbook with only 1gb of ram, which would you think might handle these two applications best?

Hi skipgo,
welcome to macbook forum.
I would go with the faster processor, not only the processor is fixed and not upgradeable, you also got bigger hard drive and superdrive that will be crucial for backing up big files on dvd (4 gb) or dual layer dvd (8 gb) and or burn your project into dvd from your FCE using iDVD.
And memory is tend to go cheaper each day and relatively easy to upgrade it yourself compare to built to order 2 gb memory in entry model at apple store.
And remember that apple will not accept return on BTO model just in case you decided to return it within their 14 days grace period.
Good Luck.
ps: beat by Mike with the same advise.....

How can we define no of processors for a server

How can we define no of processors for a server.on what factor that No of Processors depends? Is it based on
1.Application type,
2.No of transaction perday,
3.No Of users connected simulatneoulsy

You can also add the quality of the application to your list. A poorly writtern application cangobble up resources faster than you can spend.
Also, the size of the database. Bigger size means increased memory, disk, and CPU.

Hello,
You can't upgrade to any faster, & especially not to an Intel CPU needed to run Lion/10.7 for full iCloud usage.
You can have limited use of iCloud the way it is, you can view all of iCloud in a Browser, You can use Find my Phone I hear, & you can use IMAP Mail for syncing, but no other syncing.

Why these features aren't avaiable on iphone?Internal radio,Bluetooth(work with any mobile),Memory slot,Better internal memory( 512 MB),Fast processor,21Mbps HSDPA,Big display(feel da real experience of IOS)Will the next iphone resolve these issues ?

Why these features aren't avaiable on iphone yet ?Internal radio, Bluetooth(work with any mobile), Memory slot, Better internal memory(>512 MB), Fast processor, 21Mbps HSDPA, Big display (feel the real experience of IOS) Will the next iphone resolve these issues ?

For the same reason my car hasn't got in-dash satnav, leather upholstery or a six litre engine. Because that's how the manufacturer chose to make it. If you are unhappy with the specs, don't buy one.
There is no information regarding any new iPhone.

Faster Processor?

i just got and installed iLife '08 only to realize that i can't use either iMovie or iDVD because my processor isn't fast enough (i have the iMac G5--1.8GHz, 512MB RAM). there's absolutely no way to "upgrade" this computer to a faster processor is there? i know this sounds really stupid, but i thought i'd ask anyway, just in case there was another way besides buying another computer....

broadwaybaby42, Welcome to the discussion area!
FYI, this is the discussion area for the iMac G4s.
Since you have an iMac G5, you probably want to post future question in the iMac G5 discussion area.

Fast change for statistical delivery date in me21n

hi
need fast change for statistical delivery date in me21n
in me21n when i enter on to fast change screen i doesn't find statistical delivery date
can anyone tell me the process
thanks

Dear Anudeep,
You cannot change this via "Fast Change".
Please see the usage of this field.
Calculation of the delivery time is an element in the determination of a vendor's adherence to delivery dates (that is, the vendor's delivery timeliness, or on-time delivery performance) in MM Vendor Evaluation.
If it becomes known that the vendor can only deliver ordered goods some days later than originally stipulated, for instance, you can change the delivery date accordingly for materials planning and control purposes. However, the statistics-relevant delivery
date remains unchanged.
As a result, the vendor's "on-time delivery performance" score worsens. At the same time, it is ensured that materials planning and control works on the basis of the right date.

ian, Wong Loke Foong

FAST FOOD FOR EDITING

when i get into working on stuff I really hate stopping and doing other things ...unless I'm waiting for some process to get done ( eg. export etc ).
So when I am on computer working I get sucked into it and dont like to stop even to eat etc.
I have discovered that fast food is the answer.
even better...get on phone and order food delivered !
but other than that I've discovered you can enhance frozen food TV dinner things or soups...pretty quick and is really good...
1) get stouffers (sp?) fetticinii alfredo...nuke...( 2 min ? ) and add can of tuna ( mix it in..) yum...instant tuna casserole !
2) get progressive new engl clam chowder.. heat up... add can of chopped or minced clams...heat a min longer....way better !
( add red pepper or whatever ).
whats YOUR secret editing fast food solutions ???

darnit.. i was writing email to my state senator and missed the crab story.. what happened ? can we eat them ?
yum... i ate some crab cakes for breakfast this morning... from icelandic or something like that... microwave on high for 2 minutes covered... the perfect fast food for editing...add cocktail sauce.
cock and tail .... sauce... appeals to most people on a subliminal level .... IMO...
for me its the tail part.. but hey, friday is gay day in the film biz ...( IMO ) and mayor bloomberg tends to prove it 7 days a week !
no offense.. my best friend is gay
just kidding but it could be true
how would i know anyway? maybe i havent met the right wife yet.. 3 down but there are many fishes in the sea.... any chics feeling adventurous out there ??
edit... true story :
I was working on set of some stupid tv cop show ( i think it was law and order at chelsea piers but forget ) and sitting at a big 'conference table' with other crew members during a take. after the take we had to move to the room we were sitting in to shoot, and to do that we had to lower some bay lights etc which were above the big table .. so the room had to be cleared of people to do that ( dont wanna drop stuff on people etc ).
Soooo, the subject of this " new " movie ( brokeback mountain ) got brought up by some *** hags sitting at the table... chics who love gay guys in general for the spirit of the thing.. ( this is hollywood so theres no figuring out why this is true ) .. and one asked ME if I was gonna go watch the movie. Like go to a theater and watch this new movie. This is starring the guy who killed himself like a week ago.... and everyone was sorta talking about this great new movie and the dead guy.
Being a grip etc.. and pretty old ... I looked at this young woman and there musta been something in my countenance that sobered her up or something...cause she looked away and giggled and changed the subject and then got out of the room when I said, " We're gonna lower the bay light, get out of the room ".
I never saw her again. The dead guy is still dead. The gay movie about cowboys is still a blockbuster. Life goes on , eh ?

Using the XSLT processor for non-workbench XSLT

Hi there,
is it possible to use the built-in XSLT processor for arbitrary XSLT transformations which aren't checked in in the ABAP workbench but instead given as a runtime object (string or iXML)?
Instead of the built-in command CALL TRANSFORMATION which according to the doc is restricted to workbench transformations, I am looking for an option like this:
data: lo_transformation type ref to if_ixml_document,
      lo_source         type ref to if_ixml_document,
      lo_target         type ref to if_ixml_focument.
* I get lo_transformation and lo_source from somewhere out there
try.
    lo_target ?= cl_some_fine_class_which_i_am_looking_for=>transform(
                      io_source         = lo_source
                      io_transformation = lo_transformation ).
catch cx_xslt_runtime_error.
endtry.
Does anybody know such a feature?
For a background about this problem - in German language - see my blog

Thanks and Regards,
Rüdiger

Dear Rashid,
thanks - this is the answer! I wonder why I didn't find this class one year ago. A little test prog shows that it works fine and even performant (about 0.5 millisec for creating the new dynamic XSLT program with the method set_source_stream( ) ). For usage in web apps, it would be nice to know whether the temporary program remains available in the application servers' buffer after end of process. I can't check this, since this is performed on the C/C++ level, and SE30 doesn't track the method set_source_stream() itself (it could show a decrease of runtime after the first call).
Here comes a little self-contained ABAP program to test the functionality. It works well on our system with SAPKB70012.
Thanks and regards,
Rüdiger

From my personal experience, I wouldn't go for an Integrated card. This is one of the most important components for Photoshop, so invest in a decent graphics card (ATI or NVidia). It doesn't have to be a really exepensive one - I have been using ATI Radeon with 256MB of RAM on my Dell Studio for almost two years and it still rocks! (even when I work with 3D in Ps CS5 Extended).
I would also invest in more RAM (this can be added easily - I bought extra 4GB as my Studio came with 3GB).
I wouldn't worry about the processor - I'm on Intel Core 2 Duo - and it works very very well, it's very quick which is very important as I'm training Photoshop.
I hope this helps.

Slim "Id "x" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes"
This error drives my crazy I changed to slim after the recent change of gdm.
Since I changed, when I boot my PC this error always occurs. Only solution so far is either to wait for 5 minutes or to change to another TTY#, login and try init 3 and then init 5 (which only works sometimes but most of the time delivers the same error).
The error doesn't occur when I REboot the PC.
I start slim via inittab with "x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/slim >& /dev/null"
I already tried the German Arch-Forum but got no reply.
There is a topic http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=81159 with the "solution" to change inittab
"x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/slim >& /dev/null"
to
"x:5:once:/usr/bin/slim >& /dev/null"
but this doesn't work for me, slim then refuses completly to start.
I'd prefer to use the inittab method and not the daemon method...
Thank you in advance

Hi,
"generally" X seems to work fine. I use Openbox without any problems. If I try /usr/bin/slim from init 3 it says: "Stale lockfile found, removing it" and then nothing happens - the console just stays on.
I haven't changed my Xorg for ages, I still use the same X configuration (besides updates) that I had years ago with kdm and then with gdm. Even when I switched from gdm to slim I just follwed to wiki and changed the Inittab line from gdm to slim.
Heres my Inittab and my Xorg.conf (to be honest I'm not really fit with Xorg configuration...)
To be sure, I just created a (very basic) new Xorg.conf with nvidia-xconfig.

EDIT: It seems to work now! Slim started without any errors. I will test that for some days to see if the problem is really gone now.
Just out of curiosity:
A lot seems to have changed in Xorg.conf since my old ~2years old config was made.
I had to turnoff boot logo manually and set Option "Composite" "Enable" but now everything seems to work by default?
Do you see any flaws in my xorg.conf? Any ideas for improvements (except metamodes)?
