How fast and powerful are these new 24" 2.8 fully loaded beasts?

are these new imacs fast? can they handle GB 08 and CS3?
im trying to compare this new 24 inch ( 2.8 GHZ) beast with all the RAM in it to a G5 desktop quad or DP 2.5 all with plenty of RAM.
Does the new IMAC speed through Garageband ( 20 tracks of data ) or Photoshop CS3 with 50 MB files?
is it a new beast to contend with or just a little prettier and more featured? or is this now a computer that will tolerate lots of data without slowing down or choking on big size files?
I would love a mobile ( in the car out of the car perse ) unit that will step up to the task.
anyone who has pushed it pretty far would appreciate any responses.....

I ordered the standard config on the Apple store....it came with 2 gb of ram. I wa suprised I didnt have to upgrade anything. I took that as a sign..LOL. I got mine the 14th. Not bad for a new computer. After reading all the posts here I was a bit concerned getting a new model, but so far no problems. I also use an Airport extreme with gagabit ethernet so everything feels really fast.
I hope your computer is a flawless as mine. The only recommendation I have is to make a good backup of your old system before you get your new one. It will allow you to choose what to move over and what to trash from your old system.
Also, get some sunscreen for sitting in front of that 24" monitor
I hope you enjoy your iMac... I cant get away from mine. I own a consulting company and I am seriously considering moving to add Mac consulting to the business.

  • What is Plug-in, SUpport Package, Add in and how R3 and BW are interdep

    Hello Every One,
    Can some one explain me in simple words about the terms, Plug-ins, SUpport Packs, Service Packs, Add-in's, SAP Notes and how R3 and BW are interdependant in the above mentioned terms? Can anyone give a simple example?
    regards,
    kishore

    Hi,
    <b><u>Plug-ins:[/</u>b]
    Additional program which enhances the functionality of an existing program. Additional functions which may not be needed or are mutually exclusive are often implemented as plug-ins.
    For example ICMAN contains various plug-ins for the various network protocols which it supports (HTTP, SMTP, FTP,...).
    The interface between mySAP.com components (for example, SAP APO, SAP BBP, SAP BW, SAP CRM) and one or more SAP R/3 systems.
    The SAP R/3 Plug-In unites the plug-ins APO-CIF, CRM-R3A, BW-BCT and B2B-PRO-PI. This simplifies maintenance significantly and guarantees compatibility between the individual mySAP.com components. With SAP R/3 Plug-In, you can use several mySAP.com components simultaneously in a single system. SAP R/3 Plug-In supplies the mySAP.com component transaction data and master data in real time.
    Technically, there are two versions of each release of the SAP R/3 Plug-In, a PI version and a PI-A version.
    The technical names of the software components are PI and PI_A
    <b><u>SUpport Packs</u></b>
    A set of corrections for serious software errors in the SAP system.
    Support Packages are compiled periodically and made available in the SAP Service Marketplace.
    <b><u>Service Packs</u></b>
    A grouping of different services for a quotation.
    A service package can be agreed between a service provider and a customer within a service contract or as part of a complex service plan, which can also be additionally agreed in a service contract.
    EXAMPLE
    A "Winter Car Check" service package containing the following services is agreed in a contract:
    Cooling water check
    Brake fluid check
    Battery inspection
    Light inspection
    <b><u>Add-in's</u></b>
    add-ins are enhancements to the standard version of the system. They can be inserted into the SAP System to accommodate user requirements too specific to be included in the standard delivery. Since specific industries often require special functions, SAP allows you to predefine these points in your software
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004/helpdata/en/e6/d54d3c596f0b26e10000000a11402f/content.htm
    <b><u>SAP Notes</u></b>
    Documentaion Prepared by SAP for publishing clarity in case of corrections or changes happening to the SAP Software.
    <b><u>R3 and BW are interdependant</u></b>
    Then BW takes the Data from R/3 : so there has to be Support Pluggins which are mapped to the BW server.So the SAP Supported R/3 Versions should be used.
    Eg: SAP Stoped the Support for r/3 4.0 series

  • How sales and accounting are interrelated.

    Can anyone tell me how sales and accounting are interrelated.

    HI Narendran,
    Its simple funda:
    Any company is selling only to make profits. what we selling is an asset for the company till the sales is complete. so you need to keep tract /have account for the finished goods you have in stores so they are accounted.
    What ever is sold to customer you need to collect the money from the customer so you need to know what you have sold and how much money you need to het back from teh customer. hence you need to keep tract /have account for what eveer you have sold.
    Hope this provides some understanding
    REWARD IF IT HELPS
    regards

  • How many hours does a brand new battery last after fully charged. I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro.

    How many hours does a brand new battery last after fully charged. I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro.

    clintonfrombirmingham is right, there is no way to exactly tell. But from personal experience, a new battery on a 2008 will last for about 2 1/2 hours with a higher screen brightness and doing something taxing to the battery (like gaming or running lots of 3D programs). But if you're just listening to music with the brightness all the way down, and no programs running, you could get up to 12 hours. So for average use, it should last you a whole business day (assuming you don't use it more than 30% 0f the time). Hope this kind of gives you more of an idea of what to expect:)

  • Just when I thought I new how progressive and interlaced are working....

    Hey everyone.
    I thought I new the difference between progressive and interlaced but I've still got a few questions. For the most part... i get it. Progressive is like 1 solid picture. Interlaced breaks up the picture into interlaced lines and 2 fields, odd and even . Great, that much I've got.
    Here's my issues.
    This is actually a compressor question but it starts off with Final Cut.
    I shot some footage on Mini DV NTSC 29.97 interlaced.
    When I edit it in Final Cut things look pretty good. I see a little interlacing in the preview window but that's ok, it's the preview window. I know there is a filter to de-interlace my footage but what is the option in my sequence settings of Field Dominance? There is an option of field Dominance- Lower, even and None. Lower and even I assume deal with interlacing fields. I assumed none meant progressive. What's the point of needing a filter if I can change the field dominance within my sequence settings? Does it do the same thing?
    If I export this footage to compressor I use the H.264 codec from inside compressor.
    I noticed that I can turn the Frame Controls tab of my setting on. I then have access to the resizing controls. Resize Filter... not sure what that is. Then Output fields. I change that to progressive. Which I assume deinterlaced everything... but then there is another option right below that to Deinterlace....? Didn't I just do that by saying their are no fields? On a final note after it exports and I go to look at the .mov... the footage is still interlaced.
    One last thing with compressor. The above issues are all part of my setting inside of the inspector for the actual "codec" i have attached to the project. If I mouse click on the project itself... not the settings of the codec but the project itself, the information inside my inspector window changes. Now instead of Codec Settings I have A/V Attributes... there is an option there for Native Field Dominance? Which one do I change? How many field dominances are there? I have 1 in Final Cut another 1 in my AV Attributes of my project in compressor and a 3rd on in the codec settings.
    I hope these questions make sense. They are confusing issues to me so I'm not quite sure how to ask them.
    Thanks a lot.
    -Drew

    It's not surprising that you're confused. It's a pretty confusing subject. Hopefully, I can help you get some sense out of it.
    Most of your questions stem from not quite understanding the definitions of "deinterlacing", "progressive frame rate", and "field dominance". Let's start with the last since it pertains to your first question.
    When you have interlaced footage, you have 2 fields (as you noted) per frame. One field is drawn on the Odd (or Upper) scan lines of the TV. 1,3,5,7...down to 479. The other field takes the Even (or Lower) scan lines: 2,4,6,8...480. Together they are woven into a single frame.
    The field dominance in your sequence settings determines which field is drawn first. DV and NTSC in general is Lower field dominant and if your footage is DV, you should not change this. Interlaced HD is typically Upper field dominant. Again, under most circumstances, this should not be changed. What will likely occur is a "tearing" of the image in movement, particularly noticed in pans or fast action. None draws each line successively which is how progressive footage needs to be interpreted.
    However, progressive does NOT mean deinterlaced. Nor does deinterlaced mean progressive. If you use the deinterlace filter in FCP on your DV footage, you merely remove one field from your footage and REPLACE it with a copy of the field you kept. In other words, if you set the deinterlace for Upper, then the clip will copy the image in the Lower field and paste it into the Upper field. The footage will still be interlaced.
    In Compressor, changing the Output to Progressive in the frame controls will make your interlaced footage progressive. This should always be done when the final viewing medium is a computer. You see, computer monitors always display thing progressively; they have trouble with interlacing frames. They are not built like TVs. If going to TV, then you want to keep it interlaced (unless you're going for the progressive look), as that is how standard def TVs are designed to view video.
    The deinterlace option in Compressor is the same as the filter in FCP, but as you know now, that's not the same thing as making a file progressive.
    Finally, the AV settings for the clip you placed in Compressor are the same as the sequence settings in FCP. They help the program determine how the file should be displayed. If you have DV footage, and you switch the dominance in that setting or in FCP, then you risk having your footage look jittery and generally no good.
    I hope this clears things up for you a bit.

    I was having this same issue oh..i'd say round 6pm ET Sunday...no problem anymore, because my mac has been totally wrecked by whatever this is....got in and started activating webservers pumping out info left and right. at this point i am hoping to preserve my music folder, the rest is trash. almost every file. this morning the filename of almost every process running in activity monitor ended in 'd' as in lookupd, blued.
    anyone else?
    btw...airport has been "off" since sunday...switched to hardwire...cable modem off since early this morning and im still pumping out and receiving data like crazy. Bluetooth? share files set to off..but it keeps changing on its own.

  • User and Group IDs.. and where are these recorded?

    I come from a Unix background, so I'm having a little trouble getting my head around this. /etc/passwd and /etc/group are apparently not used for normal user accounts in OSX. Is there a way to change the UID and GID of a user account?
    The reason I'm asking is because the Mac version of Guitar Pro installs as UID and GID 501 and, on my Mac, it crashes about halfway through playing a song with:
    Exception: EXCBADACCESS (0x0001)
    Codes: KERNINVALIDADDRESS (0x0001) at 0x061f9f18
    ... and I suspect the problem is file permission related, as my main user account is UID/GID 502, and 501 does not relate to any existing user account on the system (I deleted my original account shortly after getting my Mac and created a new account for myself) .

    UIDs and GIDs are managed with /Applications/Utilities/Netinfo Manager. Since you claim to have a unix background, you probably don't need to be told to not mess with any of its settings unless you know what you are doing.

  • How fast, and aproblematic  is the Quad core compared to duals/DP's????

    hi
    should have one this saturday, with 4 GBS RAM
    yet
    many different reviews are not all on the same page as to how fast this baby is.
    1-is is worth the expense in terms of speed?
    2-are there major problems with it that you think need fixing?
    3-how does it compare to the DP 2.5 or 2.7 GHZ G5's
    any other commendations, hints or negative attributes greatly appreciated
    thanks

    One thing I can say is that if you already purchased one .. don't worry about it. Any worries you may have had .. I am sure you reasearched it deeply befor plunking 4 Grand+ on a machine.
    In summary, any single threaded app .. the 2.7Ghz will beat the Quad. Any multi-threaded app, the Quad will beat any dual G5.

    If you mean your content then have you copied it onto your new computer from your backup and added it to its iTunes via File > Add To Library ? If you haven't got a backup then if you have any of your purchases on your iPod then you should be able to copy them to your new computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases, or you might be able to re-download some/all of your previous purchases (what content types you can re-download depend upon which country that you are in and whether it's still in the store) : re-downloading.

  • How do I fix my FF when it doesn't fully load pages and won't scroll up or down when I press Page Up and Page Down?

    FF won't load pages, nearly at all. Some websites will partially load, but then will suddenly stop. In order to get the pages to fully load, I'll click Tools and open the Options menu, then I'll close the menu, resulting in the webpage loading up slightly more. I'll need to do that several times before FF will fully load a page. I can't even scroll at all through any of the webpages either when this happens. I'll hit Page Up or Page Down on my keyboard and nothing will happen. Also, I'll click other tabs on the browser and they won't move forward unless I do Tools > Options, and then close Options again.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Several days ago.

    Seems like you have the accessibility VoiceOver feature turned on.
    Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. If problems see the following for how to turn off via iTunes:
