For AMD PhenomII x4 965, should I take a 790FX-GD70 or something lesser?
I will be playing games sometimes (Left 4 Dead 2, Fallout 3) but it doesn't need to be fantastic, just a lot better than what I have now (my current system runs Left 4 Dead 2 well enough at 640 x 480 with low/medium settings but I want to see it in high settings and decent resolution). I've never had much luck with overclocking and don't want to spend much, if any, time on optimising. If I want to use fast DDR3 though (and I do), then I have to overclock, right?
Here is what I thought:
Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 965 (with stock cooler)
Motherboard: 790FX-GD70 - four PCIe slots is probably excessive for me but the alternative has only one PCIe x16 while the other is x8? Wouldn't two x16 have been much better?
RAM: I had been considering Generic 4x 2GB PC3-14400 DDR3 1800MHZ DDR3 but since I'm now reading about how finicky a processor can be, I'm reconsidering. Is OCZ AMD Black Edition 4GB the best value in the UK, or should I try somethng else?
Graphics card: I had thought 5770 was sensible (budget: £125) but now I see that members of the 4xxx series sometimes outperform this member of the 5xxx series. How confusing? They don't make this easy...
PSU and HDDs will be taken from my current system. I have a Maxtor Diamondmax 22 500GB SATA-II 32MB Cache for the system disk.
Right on thx for your replies.
Think I might go for the Phenom II X4 945 because of the low 95W its the lowest wattage but still has the 6MB L3
I 'd like to go for a much lower wattage then my current Phenom 9750 125W heat monster
But also plan on getting a gold standard PSU etc to save on my overall power usage. I run BOINC 24/7/365 so heat & power consumption are important to me.

Creating new Disk Image in disk utilities for TC. How long should it take?
I'm attempting to create a new disk image so that I can use my TC as storage in addition to back up. It's been "creating the image" since 6am today. It's 3:15pm now. ***? Is it supposed to take this long or is something wrong? I am attempting to create a large area of storage (500 GB). Could that be what is taking so long or should I hit cancel/give up...call Apple support?
Please advise. Thanks!Hey Kristi,
How much is the actual size of the data you're trying to rebuild? This would be directly related to the duration of the process. Also, if you are doing it wirelessly, it could take forever and a day. Last night I used an archive copy of a file to install an application and it took well in excess of 90 minutes. I don't know the exact time except that this morning I woke up to find it completed. So wireless is not always painless.
Building is not the same as copy so that could be the reason for this. What would be interesting to know is whether you can check to see where it's writing wheter anything is being written. -
How long should it take to upload pictures for iPhoto books
I have created a book for Christmas on iPhoto. The book is 100 pages. There are two steps to the process of sending in your order.
1. Assembly (which it assembled no problem, under 30 min)
2. Upload (it shows a bar and a blue line moves as it uploads)
I have been uploading for 2 days now and I am 1/4 of the way there. Now while I am waiting for it to upload I cannot do anything with my iPhoto pictures. Which is a problem since I take pictures for my school and I need to edit pictures by Tuesday.
It states under the "Uploading book to the store...." Note: Any interruption of the upload process will cancel your order.
I have enough memory that this should not be the problem. I have turned off every application, restarted my computer, checked for updates. Nothing helps. I have had to cancel this order 3 times now and restart the process as I needed to use iPhoto for school projects.
This should not take more than 2 days! What is going on? Any help would be wonderful. Thank you

There may be a something interfering with your connection to the Print Products Store (Anti virus software, firewalls), or you have included unprintable items.
Is the PDF preview of your book correct? Make a review and check it carefully for missing items, see this help page:
iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture
If the preview is alright, try to upload your book again in Safe Mode. That will disable non standard extensions, and prevent them from interfering with your connection to the Print Products Store:

Should I take the 70-290 exam OR the upgrade?, PLEASE HELP
Hi,
I want to re-enter the IT market of servers, after a long time not working in the particular field of servers,
I thought it's best to complete my MCSA\E, and in the future to achieve more certificates,
I took only the 70-270 exam.
My question is; do I need to complete the 70-290/70-291 exams for the MCSA\E, OR should I take the new exams (the upgrade)?
Thank you
ShmuelThere is no upgrade path from MCSA/MCSE 2003, the exams required to finish that certification have been retired an also the upgrade exams to Server 2008 have been retired. There is ony an upgrade path for Server 2008 MCITP certification.
Your best option is to start with the MCSA: Server 2012 certification (3 exams)
https://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/mcsa-windows-server-certification.aspx
From there you can move on to MCSE: Server infrastructure by passing two additional exams:
https://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/mcse-server-infrastructure-certification.aspx
The MCSA exams have self-paced sudy books available from MS-Press that you can use, using video based training like CBT nuggets is also on option.

found out i can't update ipod touch 4th generation to ios7 which is now required to use facetime. have used facetime for several years with family now can't use. Apple should not take away the capabilities you already have paid for!!
No correct, you do not need iOS for FaceTime. You only needed to update to iOS 6.1.6.

How long should it take for an icloud backup of about 6.4GB? I selected a manual backup and it has been running all night? Thanks
That's going to depend alot on your internet connection speed. 6.4 GB is alot of data, especially if your connection speed is slow (DSL) or low-end cable speeds of ~1.5 Mbps.

I am using an external WD hard drive for backing up my laptop. I have to do it manually, so I can't set Time Machine to just do it for me. How do I know when it is done backing up? How long should this take?
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
tmutil compare -E
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
The command will take at least a few minutes to run. Eventually some lines of output will appear below what you entered.
Each line that begins with a plus sign (“+”) represents a file that has been added to the source volume since the last snapshot was taken. These files have not been backed up yet.
Each line that begins with an exclamation point (“!”) represents a file that has changed on the source volume. These files have been backed up, but not in their present state.
Each line that begins with a minus sign (“-“) represents a file that has been removed from the source volume.
At the end of the output, you’ll get some lines like the following:
Added:
Removed:
Changed:
These lines show the total amount of data added, removed, or changed on the source(s) since the last snapshot. -

Can anyone help please?
Lion download to iMac has been running for about 2 hours and is still not halfway yet. How long should it take? should I cancel and start again?1500Kbs is 1.5Mbs. That is Kilo bits per second. There are 8 bits to a byte so if you divide 1500 (or 1,500,000) by 8 you get 187500 bytes a second. Divide 3.5GBs (3,500,000,000), that capitol B is for Bytes, by that 187500 you get 18666.666 seconds. Which needs to be divided by 60 to get the minutes and then again by 60 to get the hours.
5.1851xxx hours.
I use to have a 3Mbs DSL connection and it took me over 3 hours to download Lion. Now that I have a 19Mbs Cable connection it take about an hour to download and install.
So wait it will happen eventually. If you cancel and start again your are still going to wait 5+ hours. -
What resolution should i take for a movie to be played on 70X20 LED display?
I am working on an animated video that will be played on 70X20 Feet LED display. What resolution should i take?
size of the screen is 80640 X 23040 (in pixels)
You are going to need a monster to playback something like that. Are you sure? The max comp size in AE is 30,000 pixels. Your specs claim a requirement for 80,640 which is about 20 4K displays.
The data rate for a comp that is 42 times wider than HD would be crazy and probably require an array of high end server grade machines and fiber optics to push even 20 fps video through the system.
As I said before, you MUST contact the manufacturer for their exact media specifications. -
so where should I take it since I'm still new to ipod touches ?
Check iZone Stores near you. They are the only Apple reseller I know. You may check on them for a battery replacement.

Yesterday we were forced to perform a non-authoritative sync of the SYSVOL folder as replication had stopped because one of the DCs had been disconnected from it's replication partner for more than 60 days (caused by a unexpected shutdown and we did not
pick up on the fact replication had stopped until now).
I performed the non-authoritative sync of the SYSVOL folder and now the folder is in state 2
ReplicatedFolderName ReplicationGroupName State
SYSVOL Share Domain System Volume 2
and has been for more than 12 hours. The DFS replication health report, reports "This member is waiting for initial replication for replicated folder SYSVOL Share".
How long should it take and is there anyway to force it so that replication can resume?I'm fairly sure it's not tombstoned. Here is the DCDIAG output:

consider creating subnet object(s) covering the above IP addresses with mapping to one of the existing sites. The names and IP addresses of the clients in question have been logged on this computer in the following log file '%SystemRoot%\debug\netlogon.log'
and, potentially, in the log file '%SystemRoot%\debug\netlogon.bak' created if the former log becomes full. The log(s) may contain additional unrelated debugging information. To filter out the needed information, please search for lines which contain text

the default is 20000000 bytes. The current maximum size is 20000000 bytes. To set a different maximum size, create the above registry value and set the desired maximum size in bytes.

Guys,
How long should it take for an answer on a question Cisco agree's is a good question and agree to work on it?
I have an RVS-4000 and it sends me error message by email on errors. Yet I do not have any documentation on what these error messages mean. I asked these question last May and still have not received any answers.
I was told it had been forwarded to a engineer for creatation of this documentation in May. Here we are...
Do any of you agree we need this type of documentation on our Routers? I think it should have been created before these where sold and included with these Routers. Maybe if we all voted on it. Then It might still happen?
Please add you reply's to this. As it might help to get things moving...
