HT3207 which is better setting to set my MBPRO 15" Late 2008..i have a 8gb ram with 2.66GHz with dual GPu cards.? thanks.

HELP

Since you have both built-in and soldered GPUs, whenever an application 'needs' the beefier GPU, your system will automatically switch to that GPU.
To see when it's switching, download and install gfxCardStatus.
Good luck,

  • I have an early 2008 Mac Pro, 8 gb ram with a Dell 27" display and a 42" LG TV. I am thinking about upgrading the stock ATI Radeon 2600 graphics card for better resolution, preferring 2 dvi outputs. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best card?

    I have an early 2008 Mac Pro, 8 gb ram with a Dell 27” display and a 42” LG TV. I am thinking about upgrading the stock ATI Radeon 2600 graphics card for better resolution, preferring 2 dvi outputs or 1 dvi and 1 vga vs 1 dvi and a mini. I don't do a lot of Final Cut Pro, gaming, etc. I am interested in best value for the graphics card.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on the best graphics card for these larger displays for the best value?
    Thanks,

    I recommend you install nothing older than the Apple-firware 5770, about US$250.
    RE: Mac Pro Replacement Graphics cards
    1) Apple brand cards,
    2) "sold in the Apple store" cards, and
    3) "Mac Edition" cards ...
    ... show all the screens, including Boot up screens, Safe Mode, Installer, Recovery, debug screens, and Alt/Option boot screens. At this writing, these choices include:
    1) Apple brand cards:
    • Apple-firmware 5770, about US$250** works near full speed in every model Mac Pro, Drivers in 10.6.5
    • Apple-firmware 5870, about US$450
    2) "sold in the Apple store" cards
    • NVIDIA Quadro 4000, about US$1200
    • NVIDIA Quadro 5000, about US$2500
    3) "Mac Edition" cards -- REQUIRE 10.8.3 or later:
    • SAPPHIRE HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 MAC Edition, about US$480** Vendor recommends Mac Pro 4,1
    • EVGA GTX 680 Mac Edition, about US$600
    The cards above require no more than the provided two 6-pin aux power connectors provided in the Mac Pro through 2012 model. Aux cables may not be provided for third-party cards, but are readily available.
    If you are Meet ALL of these:
    • running 10.8.3 or later AND
    • don't care about "no boot screens" etc AND
    • can re-wire or otherwise "work out" the power cabling, THEN:
    You can use many more cards, even most "PC-only cards"

  • Whis is better: 8GB RAM with 2TB RAID 0 Scratch or 16GB RAM with 32GB SSD?

    Having read much on performance, I am presented with deciding on which motherboard to purchase.  Given the the CPU is a constant (3.2GHz) and I am using Windows Vista Business 64bit, I am not sure which motherboard would support the most needed functionality that would be the best choice for Photoshop, especially with plugins and producing larger 16 bit Tiff files for HDI.  One board maxes at 8GB RAM but provides RAID configurations-in which I would dedicate two 1TB HD running at Striped (0).  The other configuration maxes at 16GB, but provides no abilty for RAID.  In this situation, I would dedicate a 32GB Solid State Drive or 1TB HD for the Scratch Disk.  Any ideas, or am I being too technical?
    Thanks, Jarold

    Thanks for the reply.  I tend to believe that increasing more RAM would
    be the first step in realizing noticeable performance improvements.  Therefore I will ensure that my motherboard provides at least 16GB of RAM for future expansion.
    I will then attempt to overclock the CPU.  This is all new stuff for me, but something that I am willing to attempt.  My computer is only 7 months old, so I find it a little difficult having to replace the motherboard-which will require a new CPU.  This configuration should be good for another 6 months (possibly).
    In addition, I will dedicate a drive for the Scratch disk.  Micro Center has a 32GB Solid State Drive for about $75 after rebate.  This particular drive's benchmarks test fairly high.
    Thanks again...

  • How can i set up an apple id for a child in family share with a debit card?

    I am  a new iphone user and I would like to setup a family share account on the cloud for my daughters. It says I should be able to use a debit card, but it keeps telling me that I need a credit card to prove I am an adult? My card is a debit/credit card.

    You can't. The use of a credit card to verify your identity and give consent for a child to access online services that may collect data is a legal requirement. You can change the payment method after setting it up if you like.
    If that presents a problem for you, complain to your congressman. Apple didn't implement the requirement because the wanted to, but because the law requires them to.

  • Can't get more than one Ultrabeat sound setting in one project. If I have a drum track with an Ultrabeat "downtempo kit" and I make another drum track with "hip hop kit" in the same project, the settings of the other track transform to "hip hop" setting.

    So here's my situation.  I'm using Logic Pro 9.  I'm trying to use multiple drum tracks each with different Ultrabeat settings.  So let's say I have drum track with a loop from Ultrabeat that has the "downtempo kit 2" setting on it.  If I make another drum track and create a different loop in Ultrabeat with a different setting, let's say "hip hop kit" for example, and put that loop onto the new track, then the previous loop that I had in the first drum track will still be the same loop but the sound kit settings change to that of "hip hop kit."  So I can have different loops, but they all have to be "hip hop kit" settings or "downtempo kit 2" settings.  I am unable to multiple kit settings.  Is there a box I need to check to turn some automation off or something, because this is pretty inconvinient?  Why do I have to have only one Ultrabeat sound/kit setting per Logic project?

    Sounds like maybe you're using the same channel strip on multiple tracks? Make sure you're creating a new software instrument channel strip for each independent instance of Ultrabeat you want to have. If you use the same CS, then all tracks that use it will have to have the same kit.

  • Which is better: 2-wire or 3-wire transmitter

    Dear Sirs,
    I am going to buy two NI modules 9203. The problem I am facing now is related to the transmitters (pressure transmitter and resistance thermometer). The output of the transmitters is 4-20 mA. I have the option either to get the transmitter with 2-wire or 3-wire output. 
    I want to know which is better regarding the accuracy of the readings and the noise, taking into account that the cable will 5 meter long.
    Thanks for your help.
    Yours,
    Ehab

    In industrial nomemclature, a two wire transmitter is powered by the receiving device over the same two wires as the signal (4-20mAdc). The power is typically 24 VDC.
    A 3-wire transmitter requires two wires for signal and three additional wires for power.
    There are howevr some dc powered transmitters with special shielding that use a three wire connection. It must be compatible with both the transmitter and the reciever.
    Another tip is to always use a 4 wire RTD for maximum accuracy up to hundreds of meters. For short runs a 3-wire RTD will usually be satisfactory IF all three wires are of equal rresistance.

  • Which performs better for windows development, bootcamp or parallels?

    I have an imac at home and am using parallels to host a w7 vm, wherein I do some web and db development.  It is quite sluggish at times.  I think i may need to tweak the config to perhaps allocate more ram to it but i'm not sure.  I just picked up a macbook pro gen2 i7 and before I install a w7 vm or parttition i was wondering which is better, parallels or bootcamp?  I do like the interactivity that parallels gives me with respect to files between the w7 vm and lion, but am wondering it that is perhaps the achilles heal when it comes to performance.
    what's the preferred route by other developers out there?
    Thanks!

    that's what i thought.  thanks for confirming.  it sounds like i might be able to use parallels ALSO later on to access the windows bootcamp partition, based on reading another thread.

  • Please tell me, which is better either BASE64 or Quoted-Printable.

    Hello all.
    Does anyone tell me, Which is better on MIME either BASE64 or Quoted-Printable?
    I'm not so familiar with MIME.
    Any Opinion will be appreciated.
    Thanks.
    p.s.
    excuse me for my english.

    BASE64 is better for encoding a binary file, such as gifs, etc...
    Quoted-printable is better for ASCII files with some extra chars, such as newlines, =, $, etc..., this algorithm encode only that chars, leaving all other chars unchanged..

  • I am trying to set up family sharing and do not have the setup option when logged in, help!

    I am trying to set up family sharing and do not have the setup option when logged in, help!

    Hello Carney10,
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    When you say you do not have the setup option for Family Sharing, that seems like you log into the iCloud System Preference but the "Set Up Family" button is not there.
    Is your Mac updated to Yosemite?
    Family Sharing - Apple Support
    iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite are required to set up or join a Family Sharing group and are recommended for full functionality.
    Where in the setup are the options not available or working?

  • Which has better sound - DVD or highest setting Quicktime?

    Hi (I hope this question did not go through twice) -- I will be engaging in performances where I'll be streaming video and sound from my laptop... my quesiton is - which is better DVD or highest quality Quicktime? - for sound and vid... and by what degree? -- thanks.

    I'll have to say for me it's a tie between my iPhone 3GS and 120 GB (6th gen) iPod Classic. The sound using the Apple in-ear headphones is awesome on those two models. I can't explain why, but that's my observation-there's a marked improvement with those two compared to Nano and older iPod Classic models.

  • I have two children each with an ipod which has FaceTime - I have the iphone 4s with FaceTime.  All of these devices are connected to itunes through the one account.  How do I set up the FaceTime on the two ipods so as it doesn't ring both of them?

    I have two children each with an ipod which has FaceTime - I have the iphone 4s with FaceTime.  All of these devices are connected to itunes through the one account.  How do I set up the FaceTime on the two ipods so as it doesn't ring both of them?

    I started to do that then it said that this will become their apple I.D or similar and then I thought that will disconnect them from the same iTunes?  I want them still on my iTunes as they are only young (8 and 10)?  Or have I got this all wrong and even if I do set them up with a different e-mail will they still be on my itunes?  For example if they want to purchase an App will it still go through my account even if they use their ipod?

    Yes, that's correct, it won't affect your account or your devices in any way.
    Use the delete account button in the iCloud settings.
    Then enter her iCloud details in the new screen that appears and log in. She should then be returned to the screen above but with her Apple ID at the top, enable the services she wishes to use and then tap the storage & backup option and ensure that iCloud backup is turned on.
