Help with plan for new system

I was hoping to get a little expert advice on the system that I am planning on building. I was looking at picking up the "MSI Z68A-GD80 (B3)" motherboard, along with an Intel 510 SSD 120 gb drive. I am planning on partitioning the SSD into two drives, one for the max 64 gb ISRT cache, and the other with the rest of the space for the win7 prof 64 bit OS drive.
So my question is if the splitting of the SSD is possible like I mentioned?
and next, what should I pick for a data/app drive? I am not sure whether to go with my usual 2 drive raid-0 setup, or simply get one drive since I will be using ISRT. Any suggestions?
Another note, after I read about booting from USB devices, I plan on skipping the floppy drive 
Thank you for any input.

Booting of USB device can be set as a priority in BIOS.
SSD is like any HDD, just do the partitioning during setup.
RAID wise, it is up to your preference. Speed or Mirroring or Balance?

  • HEY APPLE! What are upgrade policy plans for new systems shipping with 10.4

    I just ordered a brand new Xserver, thinking that there would be some policy in place for brand new computers shipping with 10.4, to get the new version of OSX Leopard Server (without having to buy a retail copy) - however to my surprise, there is nothing currently in place.
    Will there be an upgrade policy soon for users who have just ordered new computers, currently shipping with 10.4??? Or should we return recently ordered items, and stop ordering new systems until they start shipping with 10.5?

    Assumptions such as this one are often a recipe for disappointment and/or for extra expenses; I've certainly learned to be cautious with these.
    In this case, there is a policy that has been in place (AFAIK) since the Leopard announcement.
    For details on and requirements of the Leopard upgrade policy, do read the [Mac OS X Up To Date|http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate> web site.
    Those folks outside the Leopard upgrade window that are upgrading to Leopard (and that don't have a separately-purchased Right-to-Upgrade) will be purchasing and ordering the upgrade. You may end up purchasing an iLife upgrade, too — if you're using it, and not already at the current release — as Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server upgrades apparently do not include an iLife upgrade.

  • Help with router for new imac???!!!!!

    I just bumped my cable internet speed up to the max I can get. I did a speed test with and without my router hooked up and my old Linksys router is really slowing it down. I have a Linksys Wireless-G router with speed booster.
    My question is, Are there routers that are a lot faster??? And what one should I get to be compatible with my Imac. My Linksys one was a pain in the butt to hook up b/c Linksys does not have support for a Mac. Also, don't the setup discs they all come with only work on PCs????
    Help please !!!
    Thank you.

    The current 802.1N specification is significantly faster than your G and has better robustness and range besides. Except for Apple's Airport basestations, all routers are configured via web-browser. In fact, just last week I set up a base for a colleague (don't remember offhand what brand) and all the so-called installation disk had on it was Adobe Acrobat and PDF files of the printed Quick Start Guide and manual that came in box.
    It really isn't that big a deal setting up a new basestation but if you really want ease of operation, you can't beat Apple's Airport = and I'm looking forward to getting my hands on a TimeCapsule.

  • Need help with accessories for new 4th Generation Nano-speakers, etc

    I just purchased the new 16GB 4th generation nano and I want accessories to play with it but am concerned with compatibility and charing issues. I am new to this so my questions may not make sense!
    1. I am looking for speakers and the Logitech Anywhere Speakers have good reviews. Will I be able to play my Nano with these and charge it? If not, what ones will that are reasonably priced?
    2. What accessory can I use to play my nano in my car (older model) that will also charge it? Or are there no accessories for this as of yet.
    3. If I want to plug it into a stereo, I only need the mini/RCA cable converter, correct?
    4. To plug into the wall, I need the USB adapter-but do I need a dock as well?
    Thank you and sorry for such simple questions! This is my first iPod! :-D

    2. If you have a cassette adaptor with the 3.5mm audio plug and want to also charge your iPod. You can plug it into a Griffin AutoPilot.
    http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/autopilot
    For the car with no tape or aux you need an FM transmitter, if your in a city with a lot of stations you will get interferance (I was glad to dump mine when I got a new car). Most are 12 volt! The Griffin iTrip has 5 volt charge and works with the iPod Nano 4th Gen.
    http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/itripautopilot
    Griffin seems to be one of the few companies that switched to 5 volt charging some time ago.
    3. A line out cable is something like this...
    http://www.amazon.com/Cables-Go-35507-Connector-Cable/dp/B000JG3WBY/ref=sr111?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1221776257&sr=1-11
    Better then using the headphone jack to hook up to a stereo.
    4. For the dock a 3.5mm to RCA cable should be all you need to get line out to your stereo.

  • Can anyone help with associate my new iPhone with iTunes? My other old devices are there, but I see only how to delete one, not how to add one.  Thank you.

    Can anyone help with associate my new iPhone with iTunes? My other old devices are there, but I see only how to delete one, not how to add one.  Thank you.

    iTunes Match is a subscription system that allows you to upload your own music (e.g. coped from CDs) to the cloud so that it shows (in the cloud) on your devices and computers without having to sync/copy it.
    Automatic downloads allows to, for example, buy an app on your computer's iTunes and have it automatically download on your phone without having to connect and sync it or go to the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your download and download it yourself - but doing that, going to the Purchased tab and redownloading an app, should get it associated.
    But no, I'm not aware of any problems that not having it associated causes.

  • HOW DO YOU GUYS DEAL WITH APPLE.. SO CONFUSING...NEED HELP WITH SPECS FOR PURCHASE OF IMAC 21.5

    Hi guys, been reading your forums, blogposts, etc and am getting more confused.  I'm just a video girl trying to produce meaningful content through web videos for small to mid sized businesses and want to come over from the dark side. 
    Good news,, I dont need a super giant system,  I do simple editing for web videos, minimal graphics, no motion graphics, no animation etc. currently using CS4, will probably end up with 5.5.
    I want to get imac 21.5 or 27 if i have to..  So here's the question we all have,,, what do I really need besides an Apple fairy godmother to figure this crazy stuff out?????
    I want to be able to have firewire add on, but the rest is what I need help with.   So i've been looking at cs6 specs, even though im not there yet, eventually will be,, so just need to run cs4 now and build from there.  I also want to eventually move to final cut down the road so I want imac able to upgrade to final cut.
    WHAT DO I REALLY NEED MINIMALLY FOR NOW?  WHAT CAN I GET LATER IF i CHOOSE TO DO MORE AND NEED MORE POWER?
    cs6:
    Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support
    Mac OS X v10.6.8, v10.7, or v10.8**
    4GB of RAM (8GB recommended)
    4GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash storage devices)
    Additional disk space required for preview files and other working files (10GB recommended)
    1280x900 display
    7200 RPM hard drive (multiple fast disk drives, preferably RAID 0 configured, recommended)
    OpenGL 2.0–capable system
    DVD-ROM drive compatible with dual-layer DVDs (SuperDrive for burning DVDs; Blu-ray burner for creating Blu-ray Disc media)
    QuickTime 7.6.6 software required for QuickTime features
    Optional: Adobe-certified GPU card for GPU-accelerated performance
    Any responses would be great.  I know you guys are busy answering the really high end tech questions

    All the current iMac models (both 21.5" and 27" with OS X Mt. Lion 10.8) will run CS4, 5.5 and 6 just fine.  They will also run Final Cut Pro X just fine.  Ditto for most any application you may want to use.
    Below are some notes (specific to your apparent requirements) that may help you with your purchase decision:
    Notes on purchasing a 21.5" iMac
    All 21.5" iMacs come with 8GB RAM but you cannot add more later.  I strongly suggest getting the maximum RAM (16GB) when you order the iMac.
    The basic hard drive is a 1TB 5400rpm drive.  It will work fine with Adobe CS but you will probably want the added speed of the optional 1TB Fusion drive for better performance. Some people will recommend/argue for one of the optional SSD drives instead, but they are very expensive and still only come in relatively small capacities - I don't recommend the SSD drives.  Get the Fusion drive and spend any extra money on a good external hard drive for backup and/or extra storage instead of an SSD.
    Notes on purchasing a 27" iMac
    All 27" iMacs come with 8GB RAM and you can add more later, up to 32GB
    The basic hard drive is a 1TB 7200rpm drive - it will be fine with Adobe CS.  There are upgrade options to a 3TB 7200rpm drive or a 1TB or 3TB fusion drive - these will be fine also.  There are also SSD drive options, but I do not recommend them. (Same comments as above.)
    Notes on all the current iMacs
    iMacs no longer come with built-in CD/DVD drives.  If you need one, you will need to purchase the Apple Superdrive accessory drive ($79)
    All of the iMac graphic processors (GPU's) are compatible with Adobe CS 4, 5.5, 6
    It is very difficult to impossible to change or upgrade the hard drive later on, so don't buy low-end thinking you can add a better internal hard drive later.
    Be aware that Macs always come with the latest (most recent) version of OS X.  And OS X Mavericks (10.9) is due to be released soon (in the next month or two).  There is no guarantee that the older Adobe CS 4 or 5.5 versions will run on OS X Mavericks.  If you cannot upgrade to CS 6 in the near future, you may want to purchase now rather than after OS X Mavericks is released.
    For what it's worth, I'd recommend the 27" iMac if your budget can afford it.  You will appreciate the larger screen size and added capabilities over the years you will use the computer.

  • Urgent Help with Planning Book

    Hello Gurus,
    Need your help with a very urgent issue. I cannot see my key figure values in my planning book(Interactive Planning). I could sucessfully generate my CVC, then initialised my planning area. Then when I go the interactive planning I can see all my characteristics -Ex Material master( has all values), Prod type has values, etc. Iam in DEV system and have to move the whole config to QA now. I have to validate that the config works in QA. Its works ok in the sandbox but I cannot figureout why I can not see the values for key figs that Iam loading from a Flat File. Please help!!!!!!

    Hello Suresh,
    I have one more question for you. Let me tell you my scenario. I have the client giving me a rough forecast for the future. I have to do stat forecast based on the history and check that against the initial forecast given by them. But, the problem I realised now is that when I go to my planning books I can see the values for 2008 in mothly buckets since I have 0calmonth. But the client gave me another file with forecast for 2008 in monthly buckets and for 2009 and 2010 in quarter buckets. So, i have a planning buck profile defined to meet that but, how do I upload the file with both 0calmonth and 0calquarter in a single file. Please let me know!! Urgent task.
    Thanks again,
    Chinna.

  • Need Help With Download For Airport Express

    Ok, computer dummy here needing help with airport express. We were given airport express last night from a friend who recently purchased a newer gadget. He told us we would need to come here to download the operating system. I see lots of links to updates but no links for someone like me who has never had anything like this on my computer before. Does anyone know what link I would need to use? We have a pc with windows XP. Thanks so much for your help!

    Hello jesschambers. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    The AirPort Express Base Station (AX) doesn't have an "operating system" per se, but it does have built-in firmware which pretty much is the same thing. In addition, in order to administer the AX, you will need the AirPort Admin Utility for your Windows PC.
    Here are the links for the latest versions of both:
    o AirPort Express Firmware Update 6.3 for Windows
    o AirPort 4.2 for Windows

  • Help with Planning Query - 0CALMONTH not showing up

    Hi, I have a simple planning query where I am trying to allow users to input or change an Amount by Material/Month.  The User inputs a Version and a Date Range to maintain.  The selected dates should show up going across the screen even if there is no existing data.  These Variables are in the Query Filter along with a few other characteristic Filters.  So in my query I have 0MATERIAL in the Rows and I have 0CALMONTH and my Key Figure.  Under advanced for the characteristic 0CALMONTH it is set as Master Data.
    When I run the query for some reason the 0CALMONTHS do not show up going across.  If I run the query and put in one value then the 12 months show up.  Seems like a bug.  I have another similar query where this works.  Can anyone take a look at the screen shots and help me figure this out?
    [Query Def Screen 1|http://i35.tinypic.com/1h8con.png]

    Edited by: Kenneth Murray on Nov 5, 2009 3:12 PM

    Dear  Kenneth,
    I think its a bug.  If we post the value without the drilldown on 0CALMONTh then its open for the input, and after that if we drill down it with 0CALMONTH for same selection, it opens for input.  but for new selection of month it not opens.
    Have you solved the problem?

  • No size history for SQL Database in dbacockpit for new system

    Hello,
    we have installed a new ERP 6.0 System on Windows with SQL Server 2005 (3 month ago)
    Now we haven´t any data in datbase size historie in the dbacockpit.
    The message is: No size history.  Check the DB Collector status.
    We checked already the state of Collector. It is running every 20 minutes and collect data for performance. But not for the growth of the database.
    We also deleted the job at the SQL Agent and planned it new with the report MSSPROCS.
    Does anyone have an idea whats the problem?
    Best regards
    Petra Wöritz

    Hello all together,
    we are facing the same problem until now.
    I checked all the points you suggested:
    - the performance collector job runs in client 000
    - time zone is set to CET
    - the SAPOSCOL is running
    - no errors by executing the SQL statement EXECUTE sap_dbcoll
    - no errors in SQL Job SAP_sid_SID_MSSQL_COLLECTOR
    We don't have any data in size history.
    But we found a error message in dev_w0:
    C  dbdsmss: DBSL26 SQL3621C  Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK__#perfinfo_________0C5BC11B'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.#perfinfo'.The statement has been terminated
    It occurs, when we try get the data of history in db02 (or dbacockpit).
    The note 1171828 doen't fit.
    We have already SAP_BASIS     701     0007
    We've got a system with SAP_BASIS     702     0006
    There the error is displayed in dbacockpit directly:
    SQL-Fehler 2627: [Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]Violatio n of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK__#perfinfo________ _5A303401'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object
    Any ideas?

  • EREC: Activities are already marked as planned for new candidates

    Hello All,
    when I log on as recruiter and open assignments to a requisition, select a new candidate (that is totally new in the system) and go to "Activities" two activities are already two activities marked as planned for this candidate.
    The activities are "Check Suitability" and "Check Documents for Completeness" only in process step "Inbox".
    Process step "Pre-selection" also contains one of these activities, but here it's not marked.
    Any idea what could be the reason for this and how I can change these settings?
    E-Rec is on EhP5 and NWBC HTML is used as frontend.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hello Carla,
    These activities are created automatically once a candidate applies. This is done by the workflow WS51900010. So if you don't want them to be created you can copy the workflow to a custom one and delete these steps.
    Regards
    Nicole

  • Help with method for reading coeffecients.

    I am fairly new to Java programming and I was asked by my instructor to wright a program that calculates the quadratic formula via a loop. So far i have the following code:
       // Constructor obtains the number of equations as a parameter
       Quadratic2(int limit) throws IOException {  // Constructor
          // All computations are performed in a loop
          for (int count=0; count<limit; count++) { // setting count to 0, if count is less than limit , then count is incremented by 1
             // Reading the coefficients
             System.out.print("Please enter coefficient a: ");
             double coeffA = Double.parseDouble(inp.readLine());
             System.out.print("Please enter coefficient b: ");
             double coeffB = Double.parseDouble(inp.readLine());
             System.out.print("Please enter coefficient c: ");
             double coeffC = Double.parseDouble(inp.readLine());
             System.out.println();
             double Disc = discr(coeffA, coeffB, coeffC);  // Compute discriminant
             if (Disc >= 0.0) {  // Solution exists
                // Solving the equation
                double root1 = roots(coeffA, coeffB, coeffC, true);
                double root2 = roots(coeffA, coeffB, coeffC, false);
                // Outputting results
                System.out.println("Quadratic equation with the following coefficients:");
                System.out.println("A: " + coeffA + "; B: " + coeffB + "; C: " + coeffC);
                System.out.println("has the following solution:");
                System.out.println("Root1: " + root1 + "; Root2: " + root2);
             else {  // Solution does not exist
                System.out.println("Quadratic equation with the following coefficients:");
                System.out.println("A: " + coeffA + "; B: " + coeffB + "; C: " + coeffC);
                System.out.println("has no solution in the real domain.");
             System.out.println("");

          noEqs = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);  // Passed from command line
          Quadratic2 obj = new Quadratic2(noEqs);
    }I was told to read the coefficients with a method named readCoeffs() but evey time I try to do that I get several errors and as mentioned previously I am new to Java and therefore not able to interpret these errors. As you can see in the above code i read the coeffecients as they are entered but not via a method. I tryed using using the following but to no avail:
      double coeffA = readCoeffs(in);
          double coeffB = readCoeffs(in);
          double coeffC = readCoeffs(in);I was wondering if any of you more experienced programmers are able to show me how or help me write a method to read the coefficients? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Sorry I should have been more specific in my question and provided more detail. Anyways i have revised my code to the following:
    //Java Program that Calculates the Quadratic Formula using a loop written by Kris Andrews

  • Which MB should i pick for new system?

    Hi i'm new to the forum and just signed up. Sorry if this isn't posted in the right section. I'm about to build a new system with a AMD 64 +3700 (which i allready bought)

    Go for MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum 
    Yeah.. the Platinum is a more "feature rich" board & supposedly has a more tweakable BIOS as well. I like mine fine.

    IMHO, we should wait to mature AM2 a little, and also as Richard has said to prices come down, but undoubtly that's the way to follow if you are planning to upgrade your system. There is no case upgrading now to 939, and in few months to AM2
    Very true - if you have a decent pile of 939 parts, there's no real reason not to use them.

    and also AMD has said that no more 939's are going to be developed, just the models that has been produced until now.
    Now THAT is a rotten shame. It would have been nice to get 1 generation of 65nm, 939 CPU's as a "going away" present. Bet some of those would OC' like crazy...
