Harpertown vs Nehalem upgrade?

Hi there,
I am about to upgrade from my MBP to a MP as I want to get into editing using FCP2. I have been patiently waiting for the Nehalem to arrive as I was told that would be the bee's knee's and should future proof me for the next few years. However I have been doing my research and have been almost put off these due to the over-heating drama's that have been well documented on nearly all the reputable mac forums I have been doing my research in.
On the other hand it seems that the Mac Pro 3.2 Ghz 8 Core 512 MB GDDR4 VRAM/16GB RAM/2TB I have been looking at seems to generally have the best reputation and has even been called "the best mac ever" on a couple of forums. Now I know that the Nehalem bench tests are almost double that of the older model but as I am only just starting out and can still get the 3.2 8 core with 3 years apple care and at a lot less money am I doing the right thing? I really want something that I can still be using productively for at least the next 4 years.I would get the ATI 4780 card and I would want to run 2 23" Apple cinema screens on it. Any suggestions/issues/upgrades I should consider would be fantastic.
thanx in advance for your help
Cheers

Thanks A Brody,
your advice and links are very helpful, and I have read them all. As I am a complete non-techy person I suppose what I am really asking is if the Harpertown 3.2 will do what I require as I really don't know who else to ask. When I bought my MBP I told Next Byte guy that I was purely buying it for FCP and yet he sold me the 2.2GHz/2 GB model which I cannot even load FCP onto as it doesn't have enough ram. Yes I realize that now but I would have bought the more expensive option had I been aware of this fact at the time. I figure that if I am going to get into editing in any way I would be better off buying a tower now than just spending money on upgrading my laptop that will always be running at max capacity from the get go. Apple won't give me any advice as they don't have any older models (I'm in Australia) for sale so it is not in their interests to expound on anything but what they are selling now and I thought I was doing the right thing by buying from a reputable Apple reseller rather than from a department store but still feel I got completely shafted. So I still don't know what to do. I did contact the online shop and they have said that the unit is brand new and even the graphics card upgrade etc will be covered by Apples ext warranty so I suppose that is something.
cheers

Mac Pro Harpertown or Nehalem?

Time to upgrade dual 2.7Ghz G5 to a new quad or dual-quad Mac Pro. Should I be only looking at the newer Mac Pro's with the Nehalem processors? A friend of mine shared this information a few months ago (before 64-bit Logic Pro 9.1 arrived):
"you can save yourself a large amount by getting last years topmodel. Its plenty fast and if you are using Logic you will be pleased to find that it does use all 8 cores-something that isnt the case with the new Nehalems due to the fact that 2 cores share one floating point unit on that processor. So basically 4 cores will sit idle in the Nehalem if Logic is the only app running."
Is this fact still true ? I think LP 9.1 would work better with the newest computers compared to the harpertown Intel 5400 processors but want to double-check before writing a check.
Thanks !!

"An earlier thread covered this.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10777515#10777515
In short, on an 8 core machine Logic only uses 8 cores and not 16 (including the HT cores). But on a quad core i7 machine, it does use the HT cores, showing up as 8 cores in Logic (and giving performance close to the 8 core mac pro).
So it seems that Logic doesn't need an update specific to HT (it's using them already on the quad), it just needs an update from a max of 8 cores to 16."
And in conclusion, for Erik:
"Just to reinforce: I've been on this forum for the past 16 months, about 6/6 (not 24/7) and in this time I've seen no OP, or even any of the seasoned pro's with an 8-core machine that has ever reported seeing and/or being able to use more than 8 cores in Logic, 8 or 9. That is the closest you'll come to reliable online info.
You could post a thread asking if anyone has ever been able to successfully use more than 8 cores with Logic; my bet: you'll get no replies, or the replies say no."
I don't see any specific problems with Nehalem specifically...

Mac Pro Harpertown vs Nehalem

Hi there
Today I am a lucky boy indeed - we will be hiring a new designer and as the perks of being top of the designer chain of command they inherit my Mac and I get to buy a shiney new Mac Pro.
My quandary is this:
I currently have a 2008 Mac Pro with Dual 3.0ghz Harpertown Intel Xeons in it. I noticed that the new Mac Pro's have the Nehalem Chips in them running at 2.26ghz, 2.66ghz and 2.93ghz. I know these chips are no doubt better and faster than the Harpertown's however which is going to be best for me based on my previous 3.0ghz Harpertown config. In basic terms I don't want to sacrifice any speed or performance just to get a new system ie I want the same or better performance from the Nehalem when compared to the harpertown system. I'd like the 2.93ghz but that does bump the price. (DRAMATICALLY)
Most of my work is Photoshop, Illustrator and Dreamweaver based (Mixture of web and large scale print work - hence the need for "Grunt") however I do do some Final Cut work and TV res Flash Work.
So just to recap my question is thus:
Which of the new Mac Pro systems is the closest to my current Dual 3.0ghz Harpertown configuration?
I spoke with Apple and they recommended the 2.66ghz with 12gb Ram - opinions?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Best Regards
Stu

None of the above.
Wait for new models to be announced eventually.
4 DIMM slots is the biggest drawback of single socket, though there are 8GB DIMMs to let you go to 32GB now it has been cheaper to go DP.
The 2.66GHz should do fine and you can save from Apple Store Specials. There isn't a huge difference in 300Mhz, so invest in memory and SSDs instead. I'd like to see SSD as BTO eventually (it was included in the Xserve).
You realize this gets asked and there are a number of benchmark tables @ MacSales, Barefeats, MacRumors and others.

2008 Quad Core to 2012/Nehalem MacPro Upgrade

I'm upgrading to a 2012/Nehalem MacPro from a 2008 Quad Core. Can I just install all my 2008 drives in the 2012 and power up?

Tx Grant. Found out about the sleds when I first tried swapping the drives, but I remounted them and everything is hunky dory. New 'puter booted just fine.

GPU upgrade in Nehalem Xserve?

About 4 months ago I purchased a Nehalem QC Xserve. I have it running Mavericks with server tools, etc. I noticed that it has 2 open PCI slots on the back and I was wondering if I could fit a low-profile graphics card in there. I also know that the on-board nvidia card is connected via MXM, could I upgrade that? If I can't upgrade via PCI or MXM it isn't a big problem, but I would like to see a more powerful gpu inside it.

Xeon Nehalem 2.26ghz upgrades

I have a A1289 with 2x 2.26 ghz Xeon Nehalems. Can I upgrade the processors to 2x Xeon W3680 Westmere's? The W3680's are Six core, LGA 1366, 130W processors. 32NM architecture. Alternatively if those are not compatible, would any of the Xeon Westmere 80W processors work?

The performance is / was there, but Intel and firmware development and getting it ready for 10.8 maybe not after all there were hold-ups, delays, taking Intel longer than their estimates. And of course a new socket - though I have no idea how universal it might have just required a new processor daughter card along with firmware. But if they were also counting on new graphic cards those too and their drivers.
I like to call these the 'perfect storms.' New OS plus new hardware and new graphic card offerings all coming at once. Like 2008.
Some vendors were taking orders for new Intel E-series and had their "expected delivery" dates.
If you want to you can find out how via Google and Mac forums out there and even some better deals now. But in general a pair of X55 or X56-series will set you back $2000 to $3600. Apple never offered 12-core 3.3GHz and their 8 and 12-core before stopped below hitting 3GHz. So you have www.MacPerformanceGuide.com doing VAR and pre-configured models.
The EVGA SR-2 is a dual socket Xeon board using Westmere and Nehalem. Which is what you are after only for your hardware and w/o benefit of usinig cheaper cpu which can then be 'overclocked' to 3.6-4.xGHz like a PC BIOS can.
http://ark.intel.com/products/52576?wapkw=x5690 - you can look up the whole x5600 series there too, with suggested prices.

Mac Pro 8 core Nehalem RAM upgrade

Hi All,
I own a 8 core 2.26 mac pro. Its Ram configuration is the most basic, 6G.
I am looking to do some upgrade, and would love some pointers to do so. I work mainly with music, and I have been getting out of memory message from Logic Pro so I assume I need more RAM.
The default configuration is 6 X 1G RAM, so that means i have 2 more RAM slots left. As I understand, its best to assigne a RAM to each core for the best performance, so should I:
1. Buy 2 more 1G Ram and put them in the slots and have 8G?
2. But 2 x 2G Ram have a total RAM of 10G, would this work? Would this case any inbalance in RAM, because assuming if I have to assigne a RAM to each CPU, that would mean, 1G for 6 and 2G for remaining 2?
3. Ripe all 6G out and get 2G for 8 slots, meaning a total of 16G?

Memory isn't 'assigned' to anything.
I'd rebate to OWC and pick up 6 x 4GB probably.
Mac Pro Memory 1066
The other, to see what upgrading to 8-core 2.93GHz or above in some manner.

Is it worth the upgrade to a new Mac Pro?

I have a question about the new Mac Pro. I have a 1st Generation Mac Pro (the one released in 2006). I primarily use it to do a lot of motion graphics and video editing/effects. I use Final Cut Pro, Motion (I have FCS 2), After Effects, Cinema 4D, etc. Would it be worth upgrading to the newer Mac Pro? Would I notice much difference in rendering speeds, working with 3D, etc?
My current Mac Pro has 5 GB of Ram, and the NVidia GeForce 8800 GT graphics card; 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Processors
I'm really debating on selling my Mac Pro and purchase one of the 2009 Mac Pros but only if I would really notice much of an overall difference.
Thanks in advance for any answers and input!

Hi, it really depends on what you plan to do with the computer. If running windows in 64 bit mode is a worry for you, then I would trade your 2006 for at least a 2008 mac pro. The Harpertown mac pros are still considered by many just as fast as the 2009, if not faster in some things. Remember, it is hyper threading that gives the 2009 their power and the speed of 1066mhz DDR3 memory.
If you plan on just using the mac pro for light video editing and encoding and using pro apps, the 2008 mac pro will be more than enough. I had a 2006 mac pro going from a G5 Quad. Once I found out that I really enjoy running windows on it and the thought of a new cinema display, I decided to trade my 2006 for the 2008. Sometime in the next few years, I will then trade up my harpertown for the Nehalem mac pro and so forth.
You are right! very few people these days have 2000+ dollars to spend outright on a computer, but I got a great deal on my 2006 trade which was 1850 - the 2008 3.0 harpertown for 2300.00

Ultimate G5 Upgrade? Certainly feels like it is....

hi Everyone,
A month or so ago, I came in here asking for help in setting up a RAID set on this PowerMac G5 2.7 of mine. To Japamac and the Hatter, huge thanks for all your help. The learning curve over these past weeks has been steep. Without their guidance, I would have nearly been lost! So thank you.
What I did in the end became quite a bit more than I first anticipated. I now have a 'three-hard drive' setup. I bought three of Western Digital's 'Velociraptor' 300 gig drives, a Sonnet controller card with four internal SATA ports, one of Sonnet's 'G5 Jive' units that let's us install up to three additional internal hard drives.
Two of the Velociraptors are installed in this G5 Jive unit and are connected to the controller cards SATA ports. The third Velociraptor, I installed in the computers's 'drive slot A'. This drive is my boot drive. On it I have installed the OS plus all of my application software. Data files-wise, the only things I keep on this 'A' drive besides OS and applications are the 'Home' defaults like the User LIbrary and the Desktop file.
The other two drives make up a 600 gig RAID 0 set, and this is where I keep all my data files plus things like the Music and Movies files and all of my photographs.
My primary work is in cad and rendering work. Both programs have large files and involve intense computational effort. My other main work in here is in Aperture with my digital photos. This is more of a hobby at this point in my life but, as with Vectorworks and Artlantis, it involves intense effort by the CPU's.
I have a Time Capsule doing automatic backups and also backup manually onto another external drive as well as now, with it freed up in the machine, I am backing up manually onto the computer's previous 250 gig hard drive.
And that's it. All done and up and running. Am I pleased with the result? You betcha. The speed increase far exceeds what I expected. Things run at at least twice the speed they used to. Launching programs off of the Velociraptor is very impressive. Exports of photos out of Aperture, while it used to take a noticeable few seconds, now happens in a mere blink of the eye. It happens quickly enough that the export progress bar that used to show up does not even appear. Working in Vectorworks is a joy in comparison to what it was in here. Commands all execute quickly. Sharp, steady and brilliant are words that come to mind constantly now as I work.
If you are thinking of upgrading your PowerMac, I highly recommend this configuration. One thing that really eases making spending the money (3 x $300 plus controller card is not a cheap upgrade) is that these drives can be moved forward into a MacPro. I'll be doing that for sure.
So, again Japamac and the Hatter, thanks tons for your help. And to anyone considering upgrading, again, a 'three Velociraptor' G5 is a great configuration. There is just one concern I have. Will it be too hot? Can the fans keep up with the demands? I'm watching carefully but so far, so fine. No problems. I'm certain that where I live is part of why thing are okay in the heat department. I live in the Yukon where, here now in mid-Summer, temperatures above 20°C are rare. My office rarely goes above 18°C so it's a relatively cool place. In a hotter climate, these three 10,000 rpm drives might just generate too much heat. There's an easy fix for this though. Just need to install the RAID pair of drives in an external case. As long as the connection is still SATA and connects directly to the controller card, the results would be identical to what I have now. I'm considering changing mine to this external configuration if only because I won't have to listen to my computer's fans run so much.
yours in upgrade land,
JimQ,
Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada
Bumps along the way, like learning there are few hard drive controller cards that support booting, pushed the costs up but, in the end, I am thrilled with the results.

Good morning William,
Sorry for such a huge delay between your posting this and my finally responding! I've not been in here for several weeks. The upgrade process I went through ended up eating up way more work time than I expected and I've had to keep my focus on working with my computer and not onit!
Firstly, the performance boost I've gained in this computer is very satisfying. It has certainly made this computer like new again and more so. It really does fly. Still haven't had any problems with it either. All's running well and smoothly.
There is a logical ratio to be found between how many hours spent drawing and power (and expense) of the computer. For me, my work days, when they go as I wish they would, has me actively drawing for over half the day. This being the case, any of the times I have to wait for the computer to finish executing a command become frustrating. (well, obviously, not all the times but I expect you get my meaning...). Vectorworks, while it benefits from a great graphics card benefits most significantly from the overall power of the CPU(s). VW, keeping track of the many thousands of vertices in 3D space as it needs to, is a computational hog.
The greatest performance boosts we can get is to buy the fastest MacPro we can afford. For me, I've managed to buy the top-of-the-line Macs each time over the my past three machines. I'm to the point now where, for me, it's become policy. I always will buy whatever is the most powerful Mac Apple's offering at the time. Maxing out RAM is another thing to always try to do.
For sure, it is the entire motherboard structure, and it's attached hard drives, that makes VW move along most efficiently. Rendering work too. (I use Artlantis. It, too, is a computational power hog.) Now, through this recent Velociraptor Trio upgrade process, and with huge thanks to the good people in here who offered very constructive help and pointers) I've finally crossed the divide where RAID's on this other side. Having the three hard drives set up as I have them is having a huge impact; an impact that continues to far exceed my expectations. That said, if you're going to either upgrade your G5 or buy a new MacPro, I highly recommend you get onto a multiple drive, RAID structured set up. For instance....
Apple is supposed to release the 'real new 2008' MacPro's early in 2009, or so I last heard. The new Pros will have entirely new Intel chips. The name I know for them at this point is 'Nehalem'. Apparently, these new chips will be the single greatest leap forward in chip technology that's available to us mortals in many years. What I'm up to is I'm waiting for the release of these new Pros. This G5, nicely as it's running, is near four year old technology. The Nehalem machines are supposed to run, again from what I've heard, two to four times the speed of the current Pros, so the speed increase going to the Nehalem MacPro vs. my souped up G5 I expect will be somewhere in the four to six times faster. That's going to be more than nice.
Anyhow, what my plan is is that, when these new computers are available, I will buy the highest chip speed model. Assuming they'll take 32 gigs of ram, which would cost a heck of a lot to put in, I am going to buy four 4-gig ram sets. That'll give me 16 gigs of ram and leave four slots open so that I can add the other 16 gigs in a year or two once the price drops. Then for hard drives, I am going to buy a fourth Velociraptor, install all four internally, connect them to whichever controller card I choose to afford, and set them up in two pairs, and set both these pairs on RAID 0. One RAID set will be for the OS plus all my applications; the other set I'll use for all my data files.
Where this 'dual RAID 0 sets' structure really pays off is in that I've separated the information VW needs to access over four drives. When I make commands while drawing, all four drives will be busily streaming bit and bytes to the CPU's. It is, quite literally, the same as having a four-lane highway (a one-way highway that is) or a one lane highway as the only way to get from one city to another. The four lane highway moves the traffic along, at least, four times more quickly. Yes, there are speed limits but, in terms of overall efficiency and quantity of cars moved through, the four lane highway far outpaces a one. With four hard drives each picking up a share of the load in our computers, things run far more efficiently, effectively and speedily.
So, that's what I plan on doing for my next MacPro. I've put this in just to lay out the thought/planning process in case it's helpful. Finding the money to do it won't be easy but i know I will find a way. The technologies these days are so hot and, while they cost more, overall, to buy than my dear G5 did, we're definitely getting what we pay for.
Geez, this is getting way long! I have to get to work. I hope you get this and, please, write back. Let me know if you already are onto RAID in your computer. If you're not, I will write back and let you know just what the different RAID structures are; how they're working.
And I have to end here with a huge recommendation that you upgrade your Vectorworks to the current version 13.0.1 (Vectorworks 2008 as they've call it). As Intel's current Harpertown chips to the coming Nehalem chips, so too Vectorworks 10.0.0 to Vectorworks 2008. The improvements just from 12.5.0 to the current version were huge and wonderful. 10.0.0 to now, hugely wonderful!
My upgrade system with VW over the past 12 years is that I pretty much buy either other upgrade and/or I upgrade every 20 months or so. Nemetschek's worked very hard over the past five years and it shows. Geez, does 10.0.0 have Viewports? I hope so... Oh, and 'peel off' tool palettes... Yummy! I could go on and on. Take a close look at what VW 2008's capabilities are. Again, I highly recommend you upgrade. {and I am NOT a Nemetschek employee!!! }
Gotta go. Do write back. I'd like to hear what you've been up to and, again, sorry for such a long delay. Could be you've already answered all your questions anyway!
cheers from Canada's Great North,

Memory questions concerning Mid 2010 Nehalem 4-core

I have a Mid 2010 Nehalem 4 core Mac Pro - the base $2499 model which I purchased to upgrade from a Dual 1.8 GHz G5 (which still works great as a media center).
The G5 had 4 GB of memory which was sufficient. The new Mac Pro came with only 3 GB and I found myself hitting swap.
I found online a good deal for a 4 GB module, Kingston KTA-MP1066/4G. I installed the module in slot 4, but the "memory utility" notified me that it was better to put the 4 GB module in slot 2 and move the 1 GB to slot 4.
So I did that and booted again and memory utility said this was the best configuration.
I'm just wondering if it would be worth it to get two more of the 4 GB modules, so I could run in "triple channel" mode. The problem is that I've read conflicting things about triple channel in the base model $2499 Mac Pro. One site said that it didn't matter. Most of the sites seem to be focused on the more powerful (read: more expensive) Mac Pros.
Obviously, I'm already running faster if I'm not hitting swap, but I expect as the years go on I'll gradually use more and more memory as I did with the G5 (going from 1.25 GB, to 2 GB, to 3 GB, and finally 4 GB). I might as well deck it out now and enjoy the triple channel speed - if my machine really even supports it...

I don't run CS5 or anything like that. The Mac Pro is actually more Mac than I need, but I tend to overbuy and then hold on to a machine for a very long time. I'd still be using the G5 if not for Intel only software. I expect to hold onto this Mac for at least 6 years. I figure that's cheaper than buying two weaker iMacs in the same time span, and this Mac Pro will probably still be faster than iMacs released 3 years from now.
I ran some benchmarks, and it seems that the memory is a little slower with 7 GB in this arrangement, when compared to the stock 1 x 3 GB. However, I think not hitting swap (and possibly the extra caching) more than make up for this slight decline. In the future I can pick up additional Kingston 4 GB sticks (probably at an even cheaper price). The one I got seems to be specific for the Mac Pro with the thermal sensor, etc.

[SLOVED] All my USB not work after upgrade system.

Hello all,
I'm new in Arch, and i install my system with your LiveCD (2005).
In the first boot, all work good. But after upgrade (pacman -Syu), all my USB device (Keyboard, Mouse) not work.
I'm not using (yet) with Xorg, just in command shell (tty1), But i can't press anything cuz my keyboard not work.
I try to do that (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 19#p906119), but no work to me too.
What i can to do to fix this?

FYI, the latest installation CD version is "2010.05". It's best to use the latest. Get it from http://www.archlinux.org/download/
I'm not sure but I believe all other LiveCDs are custom made outside of the official Archlinux development team.
I recommend downloading the CD I mentioned and follow this guide: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners%27_Guide
I've installed arch many times on different hardware and the only time I lost mouse and keyboard was after I removed "10-evdev.conf" and "10-quirks.conf" from /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/. I copied both back from backups, rebooted and m&k were functional again. My guess is "10-evdev.conf" was the file I needed. Check both these files exist.

Need to upgrade my hardward...advice please?

BeeJay just answered a similar question, but this is slightly different. Help is appreciated...
The new Mac Pros are up, which I'm sure we've all seen, and I have been holding out.
I'm running currently, Logic 7, on dual 2.3G processors, on a G5, 10.4.11
I'm budgeting around $2500, and I'm going to upgrade to Logic 8.
Should I go with the the brand new Quad-Core
Mac Pro Quad Core
One 2.66GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon "Nehalem" processor
3GB (three 1GB) memory 640GB hard drive 1 18x double-layer SuperDrive
or macmall.com is selling the (now older)
Mac Pro 8-Core Workstation - 2 Quad-Core 2.8GHz Intel Xeon Processors, 2GB RAM, 320GB HD, 16x SuperDrive, OS X 10.5 Leopard
You know what I mean? I could go with the quad core brand spanking new with more memory but one less processor, or go with the older dual quad core for the same price. Will I be frustrated with the older one because it becomes obsolete now, or will I be frustrated with the single quad core?
Any advice???Please?

Sorry pmelley if I sounded rough about it. I said you cant go wrong with either choice. My point was that any new Mac Pro you buy will not be obsolete for a long time. You used the word FRUSTATED and I was trying to CALM your CONCERN. I also get STRESSED when I buy electronics because I also do alot of research. I spent alot for my 8 core and my extra RAM so I know how you feel. Just remember these new Macs are way ahead of any software currently available. Once again I apologize.

Final Cut Studio is crashing a lot using a Mac Pro (nehalem) 2009

Greetings,
I have a video workstation based on a Mac Pro (2x2.26GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon Nehalem, 6 GB RAM, 640 GB HD, 512 NVIDEA VRAM) with a Blackmagic Decklink HD Extreme 2009 and an Highpoint RocketRAID 4322 card (properly connected to a RAID 5 array).
I'm editing, with Final Cut Studio 3, a big TV project with some TGA and loads of HD XDCAM EX 35mbs video footage.
*What is happening wrong?*
Final Cut Pro is crashing to many times and dont let me work with the flow that is supposed. I start to work and i do a bit of scrubbing in the timeline and suddenly the rainbow spyral starts to spin and kaput! FCP just crashes.
I've tried to many things. Re-installing everything from the baseline, plug out the 2 PCIe cards (and not even the drivers are installed). Even so FCP still crashes with the project.
Funny thing is... This symptom only happens with the Nehalem Mac Pro. I have another station based on a Mac Pro 2x2.66 GHz Dual Core Xeon 3 GB RAM 2006 and when i run the project... everything works fine. FCP here doesn't crash.
This is what makes me believe that the problem must be with the new Mac Pro.
I have the reports generated by the FCP after the crash. You can find it here:
http://www.ideiascompernas.com/reports/
I'm getting frustrated because i've invested big in this workstation, safe in the knowledge that it was going to be stable to complete my requirements.
Is there anything that i or Apple can do to resolve my problem. Is it the processor? Extended Hardware Test says that everything is ok.
I'll be waiting,
best regards, thanks,
Pedro

I see you have the GT120, not a very nice card really but maybe it is 'enough.' I'd upgrade. To ATI Radeon 4870, once you get it stable and working.

I see your crash is kernel panic actually.
Exception Type: EXCBADACCESS (SIGBUS)
Exception Codes: KERNPROTECTIONFAILURE at 0x0000000000000000
Crashed Thread: 194
Almost always that is memory related, are you seeing parity errors?
Watch System Profile - Memory tab
Replace the RAM (I'd even up it to more memory, 6 x 2GB is what I would have configured for)
Have you tested your RAM? run Apple Hardware Test?
Disabled ALL USB and Firewire devices?
Is the RR4322 okay to run in slot #2 (16x) rather than in slot 3 or 4 (4x)?
Getting RAM replaced, advanced exchange, or go out and getting some Kingston or Crucial etc for your system, and swapping, really is one good method, trial and error, to find the cultprit or rule out RAM.
Errors like this can mean flushing your caches is a must, and possibly due to errors and crashes, clean system install, checking data (both time consuming) and being careful to recheck your drives with Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro 5 to insure there are not any corrupt files (not perfect either which is why restore the system from known good backup image can be a must).

[SOLVED] Xorg terminates after system upgrade

Im lost... Please someone help me.
I upgraded old installation of Arch yesterday (about one year old) and now Xorg fails to load up. I don't really know where to look for issues... I think its graphic card but I'm not sure...

Upgrade mac pro or buy new imac

Really need some help here. My base machine is a quad-core Nehalem Mac Pro running at 3.33 with 8Gb of RAM and using a ATI Radeon HD 5870 video card. My choices are:
Buy a new iMac 3.4 Ghz quad core i7, 16 Gb RAM, nVidia GTX 680MX, 750 Gb SSD drive (about $3500)
OR
Buy 16 Gb RAM, nVidia GTX 680 (about 900 dollars)
Is there much of a performance differece between the 2 to justify the difference in cost?

The Mac Pro you own has way more headroom to upgrade for short money.
The 2009 and later can upgrade RAM DIMM modules by the each -- don't buy new memory modules for these Macs smaller than 8GB per module (cheaper than two 4GB). These are as cheap as US$70 + shipping from Mac-Centric vendors such as Data Memory Systems:

Harpertown vs Nehalem upgrade?
