Ideal System Setup (PAGEFILE Recommendations!!)

Hello:
I've got a Core Duo 1.86Ghz and just installed 2gigs of RAM. Any suggestions on my WinXP virtual memory settings?

Darren,
Sorry if this sounds like a brush off, but there are many posts around here about configurations in various price classes, that a quick look at some of the posts here will give you all the info you may need.
If I take your 'ideal system' literally at this moment:
i7-3960X
Asus Rampage Extreme X79 mobo
8 x 8 GB DDR3 1866+
4 x Crucial M4 SSD in raid10 for OS & programs
Areca ARC-1880iX-24 / 4 GB
18 x Hitachi 7K3000 2 TB disks in raid30, including 2 hot-spares for video (8 x r3 + 1 x HS and 8 x r3 + 1 HS, striped)
nVidia GTX 580 / 3 GB
Lian Li A77 case
2 x BR burners
etc.
More realistically, without knowing his budget, i7-2700K, Z68, F4 320 G boot disk, 16 GB, GTX 560+, 2 x 2 aid0 plus a good backup plan.

  • Now that CS5 has arrived, what does it mean for your system setup?

    Apart from nice added features, improved stability and increased speed, there are two major factors that impact on your system setup:
    1. 64 bit
    2. Mercury Playback Engine
    64 Bit only
    This means a couple of things:
    You need a 64 bit OS, you need 64 bit plug-ins and you can use much more memory than the 4 GB limitation that applied to 32 bit OS'es (with effective memory in the 2 - 3 GB range, depending on the Boot.ini switch).
    In practice, to benefit from the move from 32 bit to 64 bit, the recommended memory needs to be around 8 or 12 GB, depending on your mobo and chipset and the number of DIMM slots available. With current prices (May 2010) it is not yet economical to opt for 4 GB sticks.
    If you have a dual socket board with 12 or more DIMM slots, 24 GB is optimal.
    Mercury Playback Engine
    This is where it gets interesting.
    In the past, up to and including CS4 4.2.1, performance was largely impacted by:
    1. CPU
    2. Memory
    3. Disk setup
    4. OS & Tuning
    5. ...
    and finally by the video card. It did not really matter what video card you had installed. There never was any discernable performance gain from expensive video cards.
    The tables have turned.
    With CS5, installing a CUDA enabled video card has a large impact on performance and lessens the burden on the CPU. The GPU does a lot of the work.
    However, since the CPU gets a lot more breathing space, the CPU will no longer be the primary bottelneck, as was often the case in the past.  And since all DIMM slots in the average machine will be occupied, it is a costly exercise to exchange the DIMM sticks with larger capacity ones. People who have only 3 slots in use on a X58 motherboard can directly benefit from adding three more sticks, but this does not happen very often.
    So with the CPU running with a relatively low load and memory more or less a given, the only thing that may be a bottleneck to be improved upon is the disk setup. This can be seen easily by scrubbing fast through the time line with the popular AVCHD material. Due to the MPEG nature, while scrubbing one needs to look backwards and forwards to create the image under the CTI and that means a lot of disk activity. CPU is not a bottleneck, memory is not a bottleneck and the GPU is not the bottleneck, it is the disk setup.
    Do not be fooled by the claims that SATA2 or SATA3 have enough bandwidth to support the data rate of AVCHD or other MPEG streams. Tests have shown that significant performance gains can be achieved by using a large number of disks, preferably in a raid. This is especially true when one has multiple tracks.
    SSD's are not yet an economical alternative for conventional hard disks, with prices that are a factor 30 - 50 higher per gigabyte than conventional disks.
    Conclusion
    To fully benefit from the performance gains that CS5 allows, it may be that using a MPE supported card will lead to the disk setup being the new bottleneck. Be aware of that fact.

    at this point we are still trying to figure out whats up.
    bear in mind DV VS AVCHD or Red is a completely different animal. there is a lot to process on encoding vs DV
    we think the processors and HDDs are sitting there waiting on CS5
    even with Dual Xeon 2.8GHz 12 cores its no faster than the 980x niether are CPU pegging, HDD pegging or ram..
    interesting is the Dual Xeons will use about 10G (with 24G installed) ram vs the 980x using 6 (with 12 installed)
    dual Xeons have dual memoery pipe lines 1 for each cpu so we think thats where its coming from
    but we are still scratching our heads with a good deal of what we are finding in these benchmarks.
    most is pointing to CS5 coding.
    i am sure Eric will poke his head in here...

  • Ideal hardware setup for Aperture

    Is there an ideal hardware setup for working with 18megapixel raw files in aperture? Of the three...graphics card, cpu and ram...which are the most important to processing the raw image.
    I am running 10.6.3 on a macbookpro 2.2GHz core 2 duo, 4G ram and an Nvidia card with 128Mb of vram.
    Overall it feels somewhat slow, about 10 seconds to load the full raw image on screen. Is that just to be expected? Any form of image adjustment usually switches to low res while adjustment is being made.
    Thanks in advance.

    A fast hard drive seems to be the most important thing now. The more I use Aperture, the more I appreciate the need for fast, fast hard drives! Open the activity monitor and monitor your disk activity. Monitor the IO - if you are constantly in the hundreds for the disk IO counters, you are IO bound (and more than likely it's your library database and preview thumbnails database).
    For a laptop, the Seagate 500GB with the 4 GB of flash built in that it manages might be a good way to go. I just got one and haven't had a time to put it in my Mac Book Pro for testing. If it manages to put most of your library database in the 4 GB flash cache, you won't see near the performance issues as with a regular hard drive.
    You could get a smaller SSD for your primary drive and to put the library on, then get one of the kits to remove the optical drive and put the hard drive in that bay. Reference your masters on the hard drive and that way you won't go broke buying a huge SSD. Gasp! I know, me recommending referenced files - I'm grudgingly coming around. Well, that and Aperture 3 has some pretty nice features for referenced files that are making me more willing to consider that kind of a setup, esp. when I look at the disk activity and constant fragmentation of the library and thumbnail database files. I'm seriously considering getting an SSD just for my library database and thumbnail databases and referencing the masters on my internal RAID.
    Also others have recommended iDefrag and I can heartily recommend it as well if you stick with traditional hard drives. If nothing else, download the free version and run it - I'll bet that the two aperture databases for your library will easily be the most fragmented files on your hard drive, followed by the thumbnails themselves. SSD obviously doesn't have the latency issues of rotating disk so defrag isn't needed - indeed it would just shorten the life of your SSD with a bunch of unnecessary writes. If you do consider SSD, the only one I can recommend for the Mac is from Other World Computing/MacSales as it does internal garbage collection. Until Mac OS X supports TRIM, normal SSDs that don't do internal garbage collection will run fine for a while, then hit a performance wall that will make you want to go back to your hard drive
    Anyway don't feel bad - until I started tweaking my hard drive setup, there wasn't a real speed difference between my MacBook Pro and my Mac Pro - want to talk about a real downer!

  • RCS Managed system setup

    Hi,
    Do we need to re run managed system setup wizard, each time system stack or EHP is updated ? or even when solman stack is updated ?
    Reason: We recently updated solman to SPS27 after which I dont see any data collection happening specially for User Load for ABAP systems
    and none for java
    BR,
    Shyam

    Hello,
    Run transaction solman_setup and check in the OVERVIEW what are the Open Activities listed in Basic and Initial Configuration.
    All activities there must be redone, grey, red or green.
    In these tasks there will be the Diagnostics Configuration. This step includes setting the Maintenance Mode ON and OFF, which will stop all agents and deploy the new software to them (the so-called agelets that are delivered centrally from Solman LM-SERVICE to the managed system's SMD Agent).
    This is all you must execute after a LM-SERVICE upgrade.
    Therefore there's no reason to rerun the whole setup wizard, as it may cause issues with wrong parameters in the setup wizard. If the managed system is working perfectly and this is only an upgrade, it is not recommended to do the setup wizard again.
    Best regards,
    Guilherme

  • How to do initialization for new system setup?

    Hi, Experts:
    I need your help! Can you tell me your suggestion please?
    This is a new system setup. We are about to test on the Initialization/Delta process.
    The data source is 2LIS_13_VDITM 7.0 version. The test is on the PSA.
    I have done an EARLY Initialization. On R3 system, if a billing record is canceled, we are able to capture it in the RSA7. Then, we did a delta load which were successfully tranferred to BW system.
    However, if I created a new order and push it to Billing, I am NOT able to find it on RSA7 of the Delta queue.
    That would mean, the delta queue could not capture any new billing records.
    Then, besides the early init, we tried to do an Initialization without Data Transfer in the hope that this could resolve the new records issue, it doesn't allow to do it, saying "no 2 initialization".
    What is the right way to do initialization??
    Thanks guys!!

    Hello Sylvia,
    Changing it to new delta mode need not clean out everything in BW.
    its a change in R/3 side on how delta records will be pushed.
    Delta queue will remain the same in R/3.
    But since you have already missed some records and you are not sure which one.
    Also the existing records in the delta queue are not the correct one as these are not bringing new records according to you.
    So I will suggest you after you have done the changes to queued delta....do a fresh start.
    Delete the data from the DSO.
    1)delete the existing and do a new init without data transfer so that a new delta queue is created.
    2)Fill the set up tables first and start the full repair loads to DSO.
    3)once all the history is loaded then you can schedule the delta.
    Thanks

  • Third party dropshipment process and system setup

    Hi gentlemen,
    I have a few question to check with you.
    1 - What is the difference between Third Party Shipment, and Third Party Drop Shipment in term of process?
    2 - What is the system setup requirement for Third Party Drop shipment (I know TAS is require for 3rd party, but what about 3rd party drop shipment)?
    thanks
    tuff

    Hi Tuffy,
    I did'nt quite get the context of what you mean by third party in this case. Is it a third party delivery which uses TAS item cat on the sales order.
    Or we have scenarios where order is done by for example my company but there is an external ware house which receives my dleivery number probably through EDI who does the shipment and confirms back to SAP to trigger PGI.
    Drop shipment in general business terms is used reduce the cost of inventory stocking. Like I just take orders and book it to a company, they do the shipment to the address I mention ( this goes as part of ship to party address ). Since the company does not from who all I can book orders they just maintain a drop ship customer.
    You might find the below blog useful:

  • Managed System Setup / Configure Diagnostics for Solution Manager itself

    Hello,
    I'm trying to run the "Managed System Setup" for the Solution Manager itself and
    I got a problem in the step 4 (Diagnostics Configuration / Configure Diagnostics):
    In the new opened window is only the ABAP stack displayed and the Java stack
    is missing.
    Does somebody know how to make the java stack visible?
    From my point of view seems the configuration of the SMSY ok. The java stack is also
    as "relevant" set.
    The Solution Manger 7.0 EHP1 is on SP25.
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    Kind regards,
    Joern

    Hi Jorn,
    I dont think its happening just because of your CR Content.
    Still If you want to update it,then go to Administration Tab in SLD->>Import the latest CR Content from there.
    As the latest CR Content is :SAP CR Content Version (sld/active):     SAP_CR 7.6 (produced 11/17/2011)
    And Jorn if you are stucked in the Diagnostic Agent registration then Go to Agent Candidate Administration->>In connection
    Parameters Tab go to->>Custom SLD Connection Parameters->>Apply->>Mark the Diagnostic Agent you want to
    connect->>Attach->>Give the password of the SMD_ADMIN->>Apply->>This way you will connect to the available Diagnostic
    Agent.Hope this will help your problem.

  • Cisco Ironport ESA System setup wizard

    Hi all,
    i'm installing a Cisco ESA. I configured IP of Data1 and Management and Hostname with temporary data to enable feature keys.
    Now i have to migrate those parameter to final configuration except management. IF i run again the system setup wizard does it blow up
    the features installed and activated? 
    Thanks
    smaikol

    If you re-run systemsetup again from the CLI - it will reset the IP and listeners you have configured, along with the network information associated.  You are presented the warning message from the CLI:  
    WARNING: The system setup wizard will completely delete any existing 'listeners' and all associated settings including the 'Host Access Table'
    - mail operations may be interrupted.
    </warning>
    The features themselves are still present and licensed, and should not change.  During the setup wizard prompts - you are asked if you want to use and enable the features - such as Anti-Spam, Anti-Virus:
    Do you want to use Anti-Spam scanning in the default Incoming Mail policy? [Y]> 
    Would you like to enable the Spam Quarantine? [Y]> 
    1. IronPort Anti-Spam
    2. Intelligent Multi-Scan
    3. Cloudmark Service Provider Edition
    Enter the number of the Anti-Spam engine you would like to use on the default Incoming Mail policy.
    []> 1
    IronPort selected for DEFAULT policy
    Do you want to use Anti-Virus scanning in the default Incoming and Outgoing Mail policies? [Y]>

    Usually, it is just simpler if you are re-IPing the ESA from a temporary IP to permanent IP to just change the information associated via ifconfig and modify the interface as needed, or on the GUI use Network > IP Interfaces.

    I want to setup E2E Root Cause Analysis for CRM system.
    So I configured SMSY since I didn't configure SLD yet.
    I've already installed SMD Agent in managed system successfully also.

    in the Setup Parameter Step , it said that " No SMD Agent is currently available (ie not assigned). Please install an agent for jktgrhxsapc1 or unassign an existing agent in Agent Administration  Why is that so ?
    In the Agent Administration ( DIagnostics Administration -> Managed SYstem -> Agent Administration) found that the agent is online.
    Second, In managed system setup wizard - System Selection Step, there's an unknown system with SID '???' and  the status said that 'Some SMD Agent Runnning on host not belonging any successfully published solution' . Where can we find the log if we have an error when publishing solution ?
    Thanks in advance,
