Is a 512MB, Celeron PC good enough to run Oracle Forms

Hi:
I was curious and would like to know if anybody knows if a 512 MB RAM, Intel Celeron DELL PC is sufficient to run 3 Oracle Forms sessions for a Call Center application.
Does anybody out there have a similar app out there and would be willing to share their PC configurations?
Thanks,
Thomas

Hi Steve:
Yes, we learned early on (about 16 months ago) that launching a second session off the same browser is an issue. I believe its has to do with the JVM only getting so much memory allocated and thus when you have more that one session, you reach a limit faster and furthermore, one sessions drags the other one (or something like that). I do not know if you noticed (from some of my other posts) or remember me from last year but our app has been unstable ever since its introduction into production. If this memory limit theory of mine is true, it is conceptually possible that our app becomes unstable when a limit is reached. I am trying to find if there is a way to overcome this limit.
From last years observations, I noticed that a user with a current PC (at least 1GB RAM and at Pentium 4) experienced issues once every couple of weeks which is far better than a typical CSR (which uses 512MB RAM and Celeron processor)which experiences issues at least twice a day. I am trying to find, if it exists, documentation or solid proof that for usage described the better PC is needed, to at least justify a controlled test.
Our CSRs like to have at least three sessions open because that way they can switch and perform different lookups.
In order to avoid users opening from the same browser, we set them up with a launching executable that makes sure a new browser is open and just in case, they attempt to go around that, we installed (I believe Javascript) logic that check for the browser already running an instance of the app.

Is mac book pro good enough to run final cut and after effects?

is mac book pro good enough to run final cut and after effects?

Yes it is. I have two at my office working fine.
Just note. FCP has already delivered the universal binary so you won;t have any trouble. For After Effects, Adobe has not released the binary yet so the worst that will happen is that you might have a little delay opening the application. We are a professional media organization and we can rely on our intel based macs. Don't worry.

Is This Good Enough To Run Logic?

Hey all,
Just joined here, and I'm loving the amount of information on here, makes a very good read during lunch break
Right, here's my scenario, hopefully some of you seasoned Mac'ers can help me out with this one.
A friend of mine just told me a friend of theirs (blah blah) has a G4 PowerMac for sale, which is the one with two CPU's clocked at approximately 800MHz, and she's upgraded the RAM to 3GB. I'm not sure what OS version is on it, but it does already have Logic Pro 8 installed on it. Is it really good enough for speedy editing, or will I be waiting ages for it to convert and process stuff?
Thanks in advance, I appreciate all help given

ATI Radeon x1600 good enough to run Final Cut Express HD?

I just bought a MacBook Pro about one month ago and everything works great until I try to run Final Cut Express. Basically I have one small error that reads "You need an AGP graphics card." I think to myself I just bought a $2000 computer, won't it run Final Cut Express. I just wanted to know if this is really true, and if so, where can I purchase an AGP graphics card?

No Problem chrisjocanis !
When you get the error message hit the "esc" key and FCE should open normally.
However, it will probably work very slowly etc.
You need to upgrade to FCE 3.5 Universal Binary which is specially designed to work on Intel powered Macs (and older ones).

Is a top spec Mac Pro good enough to run Aperture ?

I am trying to process Canon 1Ds MKII RAW files on a PowerMac Quad 2.5 with 6gigs of RAM and the 6600 GPU connected to a 30” ACD. I have Aperture Ver. 1.5.2 running under OSX 10.5.8 and have the latest RAW update.
I have just over 20,000 RAW images in projects no larger than 4,000. All most all have some adjustments.
My problem is that ALL adjustments take along time to render and some like Spot & Patch & the Straighten tool take forever !!
I would be willing to pay the price for a system that ran Aperture like it does on the Apple demos’ ! Does such a system exists or do we need to wait for the NEXT generation of graphics cards. I would also like to run with 2 30” ACD’s but I notice Apple never show video of that set up so my guess is that even they don’t have a system to run it smoothly on 2 monitors.
I love the program but now its killing me with large RAW files.
PowerMac Quad Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Your Quad is set up like mine, except for the VERY important difference of the graphics card. My Quad with the 7800 graphics card slows down only subtly in a few instances. I'm happy with it's performance.
The 6600 is grossly underpowered for Aperture. You can now upgrade your card to the fairly recently released ATI X1900 Mac edition:
http://ati.amd.com/products/RadeonX1900/index.html
I bought my Quad at a time when the Radeon 7800 was available. The difference in processing power between this and the 6600 is vast. The new ATI is on par with the Radeon 7800.
If you've used you machine with Aperture and stuck with it this long, then RUN and buy the X1900 upgrade. This $350 (retail-US dollars) upgrade should put you in a place where you may not notice speed differences between your upgraded quad and a new Mac Pro. The Mac Pro will likely export images faster--that's where the CPU is used mostly. For display and adjustment rendering, it's the GPU. A Mac Pro also has a faster (in theory) hard-drive (SATA-II). Again, that won't affect rendering, just flipping through your library.
Go buy.

MBP 13" i7 be good enough to run FCP or Cs5 for video editing?

Hi, I am doing some research into buying my first Mac/video editing setup, but am finding it hard on deciding which one to go for. Will a 2011 Macbook Pro 13" i7 be able to handle editing video with Final Cut Pro 7 or Adobe Cs5? I don't want to go for the 2011 15" if I don't have to..I like the potability of the 13" and would rather not have to splash out more if i don't have to..?
I am also looking into getting a Dell 24" Ultrasharp monitor to go with it.. (Thoughts..?)

JFLA wrote:
Think the 15" 2.2 is abit out of my price range if i'm going to be getting a monitor as well.. and the mac pro sure is. Will FCP 7 work on the 13" ?
Sure and it will run on the Mac Mini too, like molasses.
Perhaps you better wait until you save up some more dough, doing video is NOT cheap, there are so many extras one needs as video takes up a lot of storage space.
The software is expensive too, most people doing it buy the most powerful Mac they can get, this way they don't have to replace the software as often.

MBP 15": Good enough to run FCP?

I am running FCP 5.1 on an old PowerMac Dual G4 and need to upgrade.
I'd like the portability of a MBP but was told that for almost the same amount of money I should go for an older PowerBook and Dual Quad.
My questions are:
Does the suggestion makes sense?
Any one of you wishes he would NOT have bought a MBP 15" to use FCP?
Of course budget IS a concern. (I am eligible for the student discount)
I have 2 external monitors, keyboard and mouse, an external HD

This is my 2 cents. I'm sure others will disagree.
I had a Dual G4 and the motherboard went glitchy. I wasn't able to get much money for it. Quite a loss of investment.
Going for older, used computers may lead to distasters. When I buy any electronics, I'd like to sell it within 2 years to upgrade. It will soon become defective.... "Get your money and run" Older computers get outdated quicker not able to handle newer apps.
There's always a cheaper route but you'll be paying for a heartache.
The MBP sounds better to me. May not do to work as fast as the Dual Quad, but will it last?
You need to find out what you really want out of the computer. Will the MBP do it all?

MBP 13 Retina Late 2013 - Virtual Machine on 4 GB Ram Good enough?

Hello,
I'm new to Macs and Mac OS all together. I was wondering if having 4 GB ram is good enough to run VM? I simply wanted to play South Park: Stick of Truth. I might run other small games but nothing demanding.
Secondary question is how about running Windows simply for minor programming and other minimal tasks.
My Laptop is the base model.
Thank You

Yes, Vm lets you sett how much memory you would like to dedicate to the platform. So you should be running it with 2gb on Mac and 2gb on your Vm. If you ever run more games that would require more RAM space I would recomend upgrading to 8gb.

URGENT!! Is da IMAC G5(i-sight) good enough to do college animation?

Is da IMAC G5(i-sight) good enough to do college animation?
im thinking of getting 1, but im not sure whether it is gud enough for animation and graphic design use...eg. photoshop, freehand stuff...
how izzit compare with the PC Pentium 2.4 512ram??

The iMac G5 is great for computer graphics. I run Photoshop and it works fine. I use Illustrator and Freehand and they both run excelent. If you're goin to be using 3D software just make sure it's compatible. I run Lightwave 3D and it works excellent.
Generally the system is faster than a 2.4 Pentium. For 3D apps definitely make sure you have a good graphics card if you go with the PC. Generally "Integrated" graphics chips are not good.
I would recommend more than 512MB RAM if you're serious about this at all, PC or Mac. Especially if you're going to be using lightwave. With RAM prices they way they are a gig or 1.5 gigs is not unreasonable. I run well with 1.5 gigs.

A erase of the drive or boot partition is not always necessary.
Flashing question mark at boot could be a easy fix, sometimes it's the firmware that simply forgot what bootable volume to boot from.
Try holding the Option key down while booting the machine, a choice of bootable options appears, select your OS X and boot up.
When you get in, head to System Preferences > Startup disk and set it again new. This will tell the firmware what to boot from. Test it to see.
Now if you don't have a selection of bootable options, it could be that the drive is dead, or OS X is erased or corrupted so it can't boot.
You'll have to run through this list of fixes to see what's going on, if you need a hardware fix or what, I've also included links if you can't fix it and need to recover your data etc.
(If it's not remmebering your boot selection then also run through the list to reset things.)

Looking for help in making my computer good enough to play games

I bought a computer from Best Buy right after Christmas. It's a HPE-410y. I'm pretty happy with it in terms of speed and ease of use. I'm glad to be finally done with freaking Vista and blue screens of death.
Anyho, a buddy of mine wants me to play Bad Company 2 with him. I don't know much about the game other than its a shooter. However, I did read in the editoral review that the ATI 5570 my computer came with is weak. Also, 300Watt power supply needs to be upgraded as well? Do you think a graphics card/power supply upgrade is all I need? hmmm
I have glanced at the graphics cards at Best Buy when I've been up there, but not exactly sure what will work, what is good. Looking for any advice and help on what I should possible buy to get this computer good enough to play games. I wanna do this maybe the end of next month. My budget is 450 bucks. I don't need to pay to have any upgrades I decide to get installed, my brother can help me do that. I just need help in what to buy.
Thanks for any feedback.

Agreed that it's an above average computer. If you still want to do the upgrade:

I'm NOT an employee of Best Buy, or Geek Squad, though I did work as an Agent for a year 5 years ago. None of my posts are to be taken as the official stance that Best Buy will take on your situation. My advice is just that, advice.
Unfortunately, that's the bad luck of any electronic, there's going to be bad Apples... wait that's a horrible pun.

Like so many others I have not been able to access or send emails with iCloud now loosing business. Not good enough and lack of info from Apple is also not good enough!

Like so many others I have not been able to access or send emails on iCloud. This is now loosing me business! Not Good enough Apple and your lack of information is poor customer service.

Unfortunately, Apple does not yet allow merging of Apple ID's. if you were once using [email protected] as your Apple ID then there is no way to link that ID with the new one to avoid losing the previous data under that old ID. You will have to either go back to using the old ID to save the old data or just keep both, which you arfe allowed to do.

HT201250 I have thousands of pictures on my Mac. If something happens to my Mac I don't want them lost. I do time machine back ups to an external hard drive once a week. Is this good enough for making sure my pictures don't ever get lost?

Purchase a couple of these when they go on sale.
Start burning all the photos onto DVDs.
At least you'll have all your photos if your computer, time machine or any other backup you use goes bonkers.

IBook G4...Video Card good enough?

On the 14" iBook, is the ATI Mobility Radeon 9550 with 32MB of dedicated DDR SDRAM good enough to be handle Photoshop CS2, and other high-end graphics software? I'm looking at getting an iBook for Graphics creation and other Media, but I'm not sure if the 32MB will be able to handle it. Can anyone help me out here?
Also, Can I get the Video Card upgraded at a later date? Incase I buy it, realize I need a better card, can I go out and buy one or would I have to get a whole new system?

As long as you are talking about 2D graphics which photoshop, illustrator, etc. are designed to handle, 32 MB of Vram is plenty. Even 8 MB of Vram would do the job. I have been working for years with photoshop on a power Mac 7600 with 6 MB of Vram.
3D graphics call for a lot of Vram, especially in up to date games. The latest iBook graphics card also supports core image technology.

Is (4770 3.5 i7 qouad core 8 mb cach) good enough for premier and after effect?

Hi guys,
am buying the new imac 27" with its maximum features: 32 GB, 1 TB ssd, NVidia gtx 780 with 4GB, but I am worried about the cpu (4770 3.5 i7 qouad core 8 mb cach) is it good enough for premier and after effect?

Thanks John, but I've already read that page. I have just a simple question about the performance of "4 core" and "6core" if anyone had already tried both of them.
