Hardware requirements for 400+ MB files

I am very pleased with Aperture 2.x, specifically the image quality. But I am having a problem with full rez scans of my 6 x 9 cm negs which tend to be around 400 MB AFTER I scale them back to 8 bits (at 16 bits per channel, 675 MB, they will not even display). I can import them and work them up, but I can't export them.
I have just ordered 4 more GB of RAM for my Mac Pro which will take it up to 7GB. I am still using the default video card (NVidia 7300 GT). Should I consider a second graphics card? Or replace this one? I do use two monitors. Is anyone working with files this size?

But at least as far as now (2.1), it clearly was not designed for the editing of big scans, joiners, or panos. You can still store them, and cross-reference them etc., in Aperture., and display thumbnails and previews of huge files pretty effectively, though that little navigation box paradoxically gets smaller and hard to use, especially with big long thin shots. The red box becomes a microbe, more indication that this was not part of the brief.
Well either the program was intended to handle files that big and this is a bug... or Apple should admit their pro app wasn't actually designed for all pros and put that restriction in the spec. You seem to imply I can still use it as an asset manager with files that big and I have not found that to be the case, at least if I don't want to keep killing and relaunching it all the time. I don't want to do much to these files: organize, rotate, and crop them. I'm OK with using PhotoShop (which I do own) for any more heavy lifting. PhotoShop handles the files without batting an eye, of course. But Aperture can't even give me previews of the photos after the second or third one I work on.
I never owned Aperture 1.x. I was waiting for them to fix all the stupid stuff before I bought it. Looks like I should have waited a tiny bit longer!
In the meantime, I'm a 100% happy camper with Aperture on my 35mm slide scans. It just makes it all the more frustrating that I can't also use it on the bigger ones.

  • Hardware requirement for Oracle Universal Content Management

    Hi Experts,
    What are the Hardware requirements for Oracle Universal Content Management ?

    does this help?
    Oracle WebLogic Server 11g (10.3.3) System Requirements
    Oracle WebLogic Server supports a number of platforms including:
    – Linux
    – Sun Solaris
    – HP-UX
    – Windows 2000, 2003 Server, XP
    • Processor:
    – At least one 1 GHz CPU is recommended.
    – Intel and UNIX processors are supported.
    • Hard disk drive:
    – A full installation requires approximately 2 GB of disk space.
    – The Linux value for file descriptors must be 4096 or greater.
    – Samples are optional (download from OTN).
    • Memory:
    – A minimum of 2 GB RAM is recommended for WebLogic
    Server.
    – Consider the number of simultaneous users and sessions.
    – Consider in-memory programs, such as Coherence.
    System Requirements
    The following are some of the basic system requirements for Oracle WebLogic Server 10.3.3:
    • The Oracle WebLogic Server installer requires a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) to run.
    Oracle WebLogic Server is certified with JDK6.0. As part of the installation, it gives the option
    to install the JRockit JDK 6.0 version. As part of postinstallation, prefix the bin directory of
    the JDK to the PATH environment variable.
    • The Oracle WebLogic Server installer requires a temporary location in which to unpack the
    files. Typically, the installer requires approximately 2.5 times the amount of temporary space
    that is required by the installed files.
    Note: In this release of WebLogic Server, users can choose which components of WebLogic Server
    they use. Specifically, this release allows users to choose whether the Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB),
    Java Message Service (JMS), and J2CA services are started when WebLogic Server is started. The
    benefit of excluding some services is reduced memory footprint and reduced startup time.

  • Hardware requirements for SAP ERP 2005 using ECC 6.0

    Hello everyone,
    i am already new and need information about the min. hardware requirements for a SAP ERP 2k5 System using ECC 6.0 with IDES 7.10.
    I read the Master Guides about ERP, but i am not even more clever than before.
    The OS is MS Windows 2k3 Server EE.
    The last information i had from another one to this configuration is:
    1 dual-core cpu (? Ghz)
    4-6 GB RAM
    300 GB HDD
    Does it fit? Can anyone help me out?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    IDES 7.10?!?
    If it's an IDES system you want to set up, HDD space may be the bottleneck. It's sufficient for installation, but you may run out of disk space since note <a href="https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1013391">1013391</a> states
    Hardware Requirement
                     MS-SQL  ORACLE   MaxDB   DB2 Win/Unix  AS/400
    DB size (GB):    160     220      220          160       280
    Since IDES is for education and training purposes only the rest should be sufficient.
    I'm running an ERP 6.0 IDES system (32 bit) on a single core, 3.2 GHz, 4 GB RAM, 250 GB System and 500 GB SAP/DB HDD with pretty good response time.

  • Hardware Requirements for a SCCM 2012 CAS with SQL Server Remote

    The hardware requirements for a CAS server with SQL Server Enterprise locally installed are:
    16 cores (Intel Xeon L5520 or comparable CPU)
    64 GB of RAM
    1.5 TB of disk space for the operating system, Configuration Manager, SQL Server, and all database files.
    Does anyone know what the hardware requirements are if SQL Server Enterprise is remote from the CAS server?  It's not listed.  -Shane

    Even though I am going to be strung up for even saying this, I do agree there is a use for a CAS outside of 100,000 users.  If you do indeed have distinct admins managing their own images and apps in remote
    locations then I see the benefit of a CAS.  A remote ConfigMgr console connecting to a primary site would perform poorly.  Admin A at the primary site would not experience any issues but Admin B would be in for a lot of work and waiting.  Any
    time Admin B needed to add an app or image it would have to be copied up to the remote primary site and then distributed back down.  This is not the best scenario.
    There are scenarios in company merger situations (and others I am sure) where the management of both locations has not been consolidated down to one location yet and is not going to be done as part of the deployment or upgrade.  If you had a 2007 environment
    it is going to be very hard to convince the admin at the remote location that this upgrade is going to be a good thing for him/her.  There is an option for the remote admin to RDP into a server in the primary site but the image and apps still need
    to be distributed down to the remote location.  During testing this can be very time consuming. 
    I do agree that adding a CAS adds additional complexity but in some cases such as the one I described it is the right decision. 
    Thank you for the reply. And i totally agree that in some cases a design like that is a necessary evil (but not by our personal wants). 
    We had that design with 2007 (implemented before my time), and as you predicted EU admins complained about difficulty using the console RDP-ed into a box close to the primary site. The bandwidth to and from different regions is out of scope for me so I do what
    I can with what I have. We too will be moving forward with a CAS hierarchy. 
    Administratively the other IT depts in other regions operate on their own. I dont handle any of the EU computers on a day to day basis whatsoever, etc. We're not merging but our IT shops operate with near independence. 

  • Hardware Requirements for OC4J and Oracle DB

    Hi,
    I'm looking for some information about hardware requirements for a server that will run a Oracle DB and OC4J. It will be used for training purpose (about 10 people) and for running small apps using ADF.
    Does anybody knows how much hardware I need?
    Is there any documents from Oracle for hardware requirements?
    Any help appreciated. Thanks

    Greetings,
    We routinely develop and test on a Dell Vostro laptop with OS Windows XP and 4GB RAM. The key is to either run the Oracle db in a VM (10.2.0.1) with at least 0.5 GB RAM for the VM or use the XE db. I personally prefer the XE db as it is lightweight and easily configured or uninstalled. As far as oc4j is concerned, a lot can be done to improve the efficiency by modifying the oc4j.cmd file in driveletter:/oc4j/bin:
    set JVMARGS=-Xmx512m -XX:-UseGCOverheadLimit -server -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Dclass.load.trace=class-not-found -Dclass.load.log.level=finestThe JVM args settings are fully explained at:

  • Hardware requirement for running exchange 2010 on vmware workstation

    Dear Team,I need to create a exchange 2010 sp2 on a guest os on vmware workstation.kindly help me out with the physical hardware requirements for a home user

    Hey Mukund26,
    Before I answer your questions, my suggestion would be for you to figure out exactly what you want to get out of running that Exchange lab.  Are you trying to learn Exchange features like DAGs?  Are you trying to learn about virtualizing Exchange?  When you figure that out you'll be better able to answer question 1 since you may not need all of those virtual machines.
    Here are my thoughts on your questions.
    1) It is probably technically possible to run 10 virtual machines on the configuration you have but you're going to have pretty bad performance. I would try to trim that down to only the virutal machines that you really need in order to use the lab how you want to use it.  Here are some questions that may help you figure out what you need:
    Why do you need two domain controllers?  I don't think you need to worry as much about redundancy in your lab. 
    Why do you need 2 ESXi hosts and a vCenter?  What purpose do they serve in this configuration?  Are you trying to run the Exchange VMs nested under the ESXi VMs?  If so, why?
    Is there a reason why you want to separate out HTS/CAS from MBX in your lab?   Combining all roles together can reduce the number of VMs you need.  If you separate out the roles you'll need to allocate a lot of RAM to support all of those Exchange VMs.
    2)  Running a lot of virtual machines on a single 1TB SATA disk, especially a 5400 RPM disk, is going to be slow.  It'll be especially painful when the VMs are booting up, rebooting, shutting down, etc..  Try to stagger the power on operations so they don't all boot at once.  For example, first boot your DCs, then boot your HTS/CAS, then your MBX, etc.   There is no doubt that configuration will be slow, so if you can get your hands on an solid state drive with enough space you'll have significantly better performance.  For the purposes of a lab, though, it is probably ok if you can be patient.
    3) I think the i5 processor will be just fine for this lab.  Usually in a lab setting CPU performance isn't the most important thing so similar to above as long as you can be a little patient I think that CPU will suit you just fine.
    As I said figure out what you want to get out of the lab and then you can determine how many VMs you need and whether or not you want to upgrade hardware.  If you're looking to learn about Exchange 2010 in general I would suggest using multirole servers, getting rid of one of the DCs, and not worrying about virtualizing ESX/vCenter so that you can learn.  If you're looking to learn about virtualizing Exchange 2010 on vSphere then let's figure out exactly what you want to get out of it and figure out what you can learn using VMware Workstation and what you really need vSphere for.
    Best of luck!
