Hi,
The DC7800 SFF was not designed to run modern games. Modern games for most situations would require a graphics card and a supporting power supply of 400-600 watts which is not available for your PC. Another factor is the dimm speed in your PC which is inherently slow for video processing.

You can upgrade to an SSD.
The simplest method is to use an SSD like the Corsair Force 3 and be sure that you purchase the migration kit.
The migration kit comes with cloning software and a usb to SATA/power cable that connects to the new SSD.
It is recommended that you purchase and SSD that is about 256 GB in capacity if you can find one that is affordable.

Equium M40X-189: I want to upgrade the CPU?

Hi,
i have Equium m40x-189 notebook with Intel Pentium M 730 processor(1.6/2M/533). I want to upgrade my CPU with Intel Pentium M780 processor(2.26/2M/533). Is it possible?

Hi
Please dont be mad on me but I think that forum is not the right place to pick up this kind of information. CPU exchange is very sensible area and I think you should contact service or some independent hardware upgrade store.
Basically CPU upgrade is not possible because of so-called permanent connection method. I dont want to say it is definitely not possible but CPU upgrade can but for result it can have some negative aspects like higher power consumption and much shorter running time with battery power supply, cooling will not be as before and I am afraid that cooling vent will run constantly.
What to say about performance. I believe you will not see much more difference because CPU on this unit is good enough and better, cheaper and without risk solution, is to upgrade RAM to maximum.

I have an older I Mac operating system 10.6.8 and want to upgrade. I've been told that the only upgrade available for my machine is 10.7.5. On what website can I find this upgrade or how do I find this upgrade on the Apple website?

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

I want to upgrade my processor to a dual 1ghz or higher. What is compatible

I want to upgrade my Power Mac G4 533MHz processor to a better one. I see plenty of them for sale on e-bay but I am not sure which are compatible. I have seen (Apple Power Mac G4 MDD 1.25GHz DP processor) and (Apple Power Mac G4 Quicksilver 733MHz CPU Processor) and (Apple Power Mac G4 1.42ghz Processor Module CPU 1.42ghz). I dont know if the MDD is compatible or the quicksilver. I have googled this topic many times but have seen conflicting answers.
Thank you for your help.

In the link japamac posted, scroll down to the heading, "12 Volt Power Connector for 4th Mount Point". If you click on any of the small pictures, they will be shown much larger. This picture shows how the author used a nut and short bolt to fix a "loop" or "spade" connector on a wire to supply the required 12 Volts to the fourth lug on these faster processors. No soldering needed, and can be undone in a jiffy.
There is one more issue you may face if your old processor has the cooling fan powered off two pins on the processor module. The new processor will not have those pins, and you will need a 12 Volt fan adaptor (also off a Hard Drive power connector, or even the same power connector) to run the cooling fan.
Some of these adapters have Red, Black, and Yellow wires (instead of the expected Red and Black only). The yellow wire is an RPM output from the fan, and can be safely ignored.

I have 1 gb of memory with10.6.8 and want to upgrade my OS can i use an external hard drive to solve this

I am running 10.6.8 and have 1gb of memory and want to upgrade can i use an external hard drive to solve this problem

You are confusing RAM (Ramdom Access Memory) with hard drive storage space.
You need to install more RAM, not an additonal hard drive.
You can purchase an external hard drive, if you like, if you want to install the new OS X upgrade onto an external drive. If you want to run the new OS X Mavericks from the external drive, depending on your Mac model, you need a fast protocol external hard drive.
Either a USB 3.0, Thunderbolt or FireWire 800 connected external hard drive.
To start, if you are running your Mac on 10.6.8 Snow Leopard, this is the barest of RAM to run Snow Leopard.
Without knowing any of your Macs specs, you realistically should be running your current OS with, at least 4 GBs of RAM.
Newer versions of OS X need, at least, 4 GBs of RAM or more as these newer OS X versions use more Mac computer resources than earlier OS X versions.
What year, screen size, CPU speed and amount of RAM installed in your Mac?
Be aware, if your Mac is running any older software that used to run under older PowerPC model Macs, those software apps will no longer will work under newer versions of OS X.
The emulation software that allows older PowerPC apps to run under OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, called, Rosetta, no longer exists in newer versions of OS X and is long dead.
Correct and reliable Mac RAM can be purchased from online Mac RAM sources Crucial memory or OWC (macsales.com).
Good Luck!

I have photoshop CS2 on a mac 10.6.8 OS. I want to upgrade to Yosemite OS (10.10). Will photoshop work on the new OS? Is there an upgrade available if needed? toshop keep working? Can I reload it if needed?

Photoshop was the last version compiled for the PPC cpu, not Intel. 10.6.8 kept it going with the Rosetta emulator, gone since 10.7.
So, no CS2 won't work under 10.10
CS6 (permanent license) or Lightroom and Photoshop | Adobe Creative Cloud Photography plan is the way to go.

Want to upgrade to CS6, but issue with AVCHD scrubbing might stop me

I've been using the Adobe Creative Suite for years and really love it. The last version I stuck to was CS5. Premiere Pro CS5 had no problems scrubbing my AVCHD footage (mts wrapper from GH2 cameras) and I wanted to upgrade to CS5.5 when this became available. Then a problem occured: although the project files (old and new) loaded a lot quicker than before, it was no longer possible to scrub through the footage. The lag was just incredible and I can see (and hear) my drives go mad as I try to scrub through the footage. I assume this is because certain things are no longer loaded at the opening of the project, but just when you look at the footage on a timeline.
I hoped the issue would have been fixed in CS6, but after a colleague kindly installed the software for a few days on my machine (spare licence he had, since been uninstalled), it is clear that it is still impossible to use. WHY?
I'm happy to upgrade some of my system to try and make this work, but I need to know what the problem. My current set-up is (no longer) cutting edge, but hardly bottom of the pile either. Any advice would be appreciated.
Current Spec:
6 core AMD processor 3.6Ghz
8 GB of ram
Nvidia GT440 card (cuda enabled)
MTS files and project files are on a 2TB raid 0 (though windows 7, not dedicated card) (2 drives 1TB each 7200RPM sata 3)
Thanks for any help.
PS: I tried with and without cuda, moved the media cache to other drive, disabled sound whn scrubbing,... pretty much everything

Niels,
I've seen them and will add them to the results page later today.
You end up around rank #630, somewhat as expected. Your disk score is quite acceptable and reflects your raid setup. However, your MPEG score is disappointing, but that may be attributed to only 8 GB memory and the relatively meager GT 440 card. However, in comparison with other Phenom II X6 systems, nothing really stands out.
Your dilemma to improve the scrubbing behaviour is twofold: You are hindered by the slowness of the Phenom II X6, and whatever you will upgrade, but keeping the AMD CPU will only marginally improve performance. If you really want to improve performance you need a completely new Intel based system, but that is costly, requiring a new CPU, mobo and memory.
Upgrading memory does not look attractive, since it will not really help performance and is not portable to a new Intel system.
The only things that can help IMO and that can be ported to a new system in the future are extra disks and a better video card. I would start with additional disks, see if that solves the scrubbing issues. If that still is not enough, you can consider upgrading the video card to a GTX 670 or even a GTX 560 Ti if your PSU can handle it.

Software upgrades to 8170 cpu?

How much of a pain is it to upgrade an 8170 cpu to XP and newer
versions of Labview? Came across an 8170 new in the box with NT and
was wondering how involved the upgrades are? Anyone done this and know
of hitches or difficult issues, or do the updates go smoothly?
Interested in user's perspective. Have not purchased the unit and am
new to Labview. ... Thanks!

Hello,
In essence a PXI controller such as the PXI-8170 is a mini computer. Therefore when looking at upgrading or installing software on the controller you have to make sure that it meets the system requirements for that software (Ram, Free hard Drive Space, Processor type and speed, etc.). Just be sure that the 8170's hardware meets the system requirements for Windows XP and the version of LabVIEW that you want to upgrade to.

ThinkCentre USFF M57P 9071-A8U: I Want to Upgrade The Graphic Video Card

Hello guys. I currently own an IBM Lenovo ThinkCentre M57p 9071A8U ultra small factor form. I already upgrade the CPU bios to 2RKT64BUS (01/08/14), an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4 GHz Quad-Core, 4GB PC2-6400 memory ram and Windows 8.1. The integrated Intel Q35 Express video Chipset is great but I want to upgrade it. The system comes with a PCI-Express slot and a PCI slot riser on it. I actually changed the riser to a PCI/ADD2-R Riser V3.1 Adapter Card PCI-E:
Link to image 1
I had to do some adaptations to make this riser fit, but the system accepted the riser and all drivers were properly installed. This riser allows to install a PCIE x1 card. I bought a Lenovo 41T2725 ATI X1600 Pro 256MB Video Graphics Card (GV-RX16PIU-RH LVK-X1600):
Link to image 2
ATI does not support Windows 8 for this graphic card but I used Windows 7 64 bit drivers and software for this. I connect my monitor to the X1600 VGA port. The problem is that the computer boots until the Windows 8 logging screen and after that the screen gets black only showing the mouse cursor. At that particular point, if I unplug my monitor from the X1600 VGA port and plug it to the M57P VGA port, I can see and use Windows normally. But if I leave the computer plugged to the M57P VGA port, I would not see the ThinkCentre bios screen nor the Windows 8 logging screen. The screen is black until the Windows operating system screen. The Intel Q35 integrated video does the opposite of the X1600. This very confusing. I have tried playing with the bios video section but nothing has changed.
I really would like to upgrade my video card on my system. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanking you in advance,

Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, the computer's also incompatible with Mountain Lion and Mavericks; if desired, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.

Want to upgrade...but...

Hello users.
I'm planning to upgrade to the CS3 premium suite (about time...) but wondering if my system spec will be able to perform with the needs of the latest suite requirements... so any advices from you "advised" users will be appreciated.
I'm now running:
AMD Athlon XP 2400+
2.00 Ghz
1.5 GB of ram
40 GB for C drive
680 GB on 5 more stream drive
Video card Matrox Millenium G450 DualHead
Sound card Creative SB Audigy
Mother Board Asus A7N8X
Windows XP SP1 (to avoid all the conflicts)
Softwares:
Adobe Premiere 6.5 with Pinnacle DV500(break box for analog signal)
After Effects 6.5
Photoshop 6.0
Everything works fine for now but want to upgrade to improve my workflow and be more competitive with all the new features that the CS3 suite offers... and I want to be sure if my computer will "take" it or if I need to adjust or also upgrade my CPU... Is it OK or what would I need???
Thanks in advance to you all
Happy editing
Kryss

I used a similar system with AE 7.0 to render over 400 GB of 1920x1080 image sequences in 16-bit, with the difference that I had 3 GB of RAM (and I avoid Matrox cards like the plague.) I'd seriously recommend to upgrade to XP SP2, 4 GB of RAM and a cheap nVidia GeForce card, such as the 7000-series.
With more RAM and a better graphics card (to make the system more stable) and XP SP2, you'll be able to work, but if you upgrade to a cheap office-type computer you'll get a system that should give you at least twice the performance of an upgraded version of your current system, for around $850:
Dell Inspiron 530:
Intel Core2 Duo Processor E6550 (4MB L2 Cache,2.33GHz,1333 FSB)
Windows® XP Professional - English
4GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 800MHz- 4DIMMs
250GB Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200RPM)
16x DVD+/-RW Drive
nVidia GeForce 8300GS 128MB
Integrated 7.1 Channel Audio
IEEE 1394a Adapter
Also note that Premiere Pro won't run on an Athlon processor!

plunked down WAY TOO MUCH on upgrades to Beige/Yosemite/MDD over the years, enough that "penny wise, pound foolish" I could have had Starbucks instead and gotten a new Mac.
Hello Hatter, you wrote:
I don't like to work on a system that pegs cpu @ 100%, I want it to run smooth and graceful. I don't need $5000 to get there. And you can have a LOT of fun upgrading Mac Pro and gradually add what you want to. And if you are adventurous... get yrs out of it in the process.
Software and OS upgrades have always helped market new hardware.
Number one: I don't come anywhere near 100 percent cpu usage at all when I am using my MDD. Though, I don't use Apple's complex software, once in a blue moon I will burn DVD's or CD's, but this is fast enough for me.
Secondly: You have owned an MDD far longer than I have. I just recently got this MDD which is a 2003 dual 1.25 - the VERY VERY last one before the G5 came out. I am happy with this machine as it is doing everything that my digital audio did, but faster. I don't need windows, though if emulation of TI-99/4A, MAME, and MESS become a problem, I might consider a MAC MINI alongside my MDD. I am in no way shape of form going to get rid of the G4. Plus, I have so much fun with the powerpc processor and its capabilities. I know, the bus speed is 167, but consider this. I came from a digital audio to this MDD and it only cost me 400 dollars on craigslist. The condition:
Brand spanking new! The owner told me he had never had any problems with it. No over heating problems, nothing! The only problem I had with it was a bad front panel board - but thats all in the past.
True, I personally wouldn't plunk down any more money as far as CPU upgrades go since the 1.8 and 1.6 duals don't offer L3 cache. If anything, I would get at low price a 1.42 board to put in this machine and make it dual 1.42, though 10 percent increase is really miniscule.
Which brings me to the next point - of course, upgrading a Beige, Yosemite was a waste of money because for what those systems were worth they ran on a G3 processor. But, we are talking about a dual 1.25/1.42 MDD, not G3.
I do like the Intel macs, though from what you heard about me spewing hatred towards them and the architecture, I was just plainly upset that day for no reason and decided to take it out on others. For that, I am deeply sorry. However, I plan to get a Mac intel mini to be networked alongside my MDD. I just realized that really for what I use my MAC for, I wouldn't need a mac pro or anything remotely expensive, given right now that I am just starting a new job in a few weeks.
Finally, I am still at odds of whether to upgrade to Leopard, since most of my software is all tiger oriented. I originally had Panther 2 years ago and I was hesitant about going to Tiger, but I did and I am glad I did since I see the performance it is giving me.
So, the MDD is not a bad machine and really isn't as slow as one would think - at least for what I use my system for. Explain to me why you are getting 100 percent cpu on yours?
