Lousy 3D Mark Scores

3D Mark scores benching in at a paltry 2368. 3Ds system configuration all jibe with my hardware specs, however when it comes to FSB it shows a zero total for bus speed. My bios shows 133/266/66 any ideas? ?(

I know I'll take some flak for saying this but that benchmark only really tests your graphics card capabilities...
What are you expecting to see? I mean if you're a gamer you should have a video card no less than a Geforce4 series to jump into the 5000+ scores.

Low CPU mark score with a64 3000+

I get around 650 to 680 cpu mark score with my system:
MSI Neo Plat
1Gig of PC3200 KINGSTON Ram
A64 3000+ @ 2ghz
Leadtek 6800
I've updated the latest nforce drivers from MSI and the bios is 1.2
I think it's way to low since I had 300 cpu mark score with my lousy Athlon 1.4Ghz thunderbird.
I see that other a64 3000+ users get around 800 to 950 cpu mark score. Why is mine too low? Bios settings? What should I check?
I see even a MSI Kt800 user with 840 cpu score!

Could you please post a link for the software benchmark that you are referring to? I can't seem to find the right one. I got something called CPUMark but it is scoring mine at like 3400 which isn't in the correct range based on what you've said so it's probably a different software. Thanks for your help. I just want to see where mine falls out.

3D Mark score reduction on BIOS update

Hi All,
Anyone know of a reason why a BIOS upgrade from 1.1 to 1.2 should produce a significant reduction in 3D Mark scores (reduction of over 1500 points).
The only other thing that had changed during the two tests was that I switched the RAM to run dual channel.
System Spec is:
P4 3.4e
MSI 915p Neo Platnium 2
512 (2 x 256) Mb Samsung 533mhz DDR2 Ram (Dual Channel)
ASUS Extreme EN5900
Windows XP SP2
Thanks

Sorry, that should be BIOS version 1.1 to 1.3

3D mark Scores!!!!

i have a question ? how can i know my 3d mark score ? or mac pro scores in 3d mark. thanks

If you want to compare your processing power with other computers, Mac or Windows, then Cinebench is really helpful. You get it from Maxon: http://www.maxon.net/
Then you will find comparisons at: http://www.3dfluff.com/mash/cinebench/top.php
I use it for 3D comparisons all the time.

3d mark score 50% of comparable system question

Last August purchased a Ti4200-VTD8X (602-8894-160) 128mb. Using Nvidia Driver 44.03 because Need For Speed Hot Pursuit won't work properly w/ Nvidia 45.23 nor MSI driver 45.32 and have been advised drivers any higher are for FX series with no gain on a GF series.
System is basic Dell Dimension 8250 P4 2.5 Ghz, 1Gb PC-1066 533 Mhz RDRAM, 4x AGP, Creative Labs SB Live 5.1, Samsung DVD read & NEC CD R/W, Hauppauge TV Card. Intel onboard NIC. About 1 month left on warranty.
Been through the format C:, reinstall system many times with appropriate updates. Believe it's a good clean system w/ 821 Mb free memory, Task Mgr w/ no apps running shows only 23 processes running, commit charge is 127 mb of 2462 Mb Available. All video control panel settings are at best/high performance. Antivirus and firewall turned off.
Now the problem. Getting only 5200 3d Marks. Futuremark comparison graphs show comparable system should be getting approx 11000.
Been on the Dell Video Forum and Nvidia Usenet news group many times. Run many system tests, all getting good results. All the gurus and I believe something is wrong with AGP sub-system on the motherboard. Have argued and argued with Dell who will only try to sell me an 8X AGP motherboard. They say for the card to get the higher score even though its supposedly 4X backward compatible it actually requires an 8X AGP MB to clock at peak performance.
Could they possibly be right or are they just blowin smoke and trying to welch out on a deserved new motherboard? Just want opinions from those who know MSI Vid Cards.
Thanks for any opinions or support. Might just Email Dell the results.

Mr. J,
And you wonder why we all build our own systems. Sorry but:
"Dude, you got Delled!"
Do not bother talking to the guys on the other line of that Dell "Award Winning Service and Support", all it is, is a a bunch of underpaid, unskilled people, asking you questions out of a book and depending on what you reply, they read what it says in the book to you.
To start with, the differnece between that card running at 8X vs 4X is less than 3% Performance, you will not be able to tell.
My guess is you do not have the proper GART Drivers for the AGP Slot.
Your Mobo is the Intel's 82850 chipset, so you want the .inf file from Intel.
Then install the nVidia ForceWare Drivers
Take Care,
Richard
P.S. We want your 3DMark2001SE score to be around 12k.

Low 3D Mark Score. (Fixed it)

Hi! I just ran 3D Mark 2001 SE on my system and I got aprox. 6000 3D Marks. How is this possible, when on my old PC with GeForce 4 and AMD Athlon XP 2000+ I was able to get 13 000?
I have all the drivers installed and there are no conflicts in Windows Device Manager.
Anti-alaising and tripple buffer, etc. are all disabled in nVidia driver pad and "Performance" is selected.
EDIT: It was just a bad run. Now I get 15300, so its OK.

You thought about going for faster ram?

Suggestions please low 3dmark scores & neo2

Hi everyone.
I just did a system build w/ specs in signature. Bios ver 1.4. Bios is running at stock speed, mem @ 2-2-2-10 1t. agp aperature=128. Fast writes=disabled.
I installed winxp w/ slipstream sp2, then mobo drivers including gart driver then nforce driver 67.02.
My 3d mark score averages 3843. I was getting at least 5100 with same setup except with my via 939 boards (soltek and asus a8v).
I have network installed and am using the nvidia ethernet. Do you think I should use this or the real tek driver. Might this be holding back my performance?
Please help with suggestions to improve my performace. I am at my wits end! I've done numerous searches and cannot find anything to help me!
thanks.

Set the AGP Aperture to 256, you have that much ram on the video card, I have the exact same card and I get 3dmark scores of about 5500...
And try the beta 70.90 drivers out, they work very well.
http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=925
Also, make sure Vertical Sync is set to Application Controlled, you may have it turned on right now, which is rather bad for benchmarking.
Good luck

Low 3dMark Scores

The 3d mark scores thread has me thinking.
My post from that thread:
I'm not really a big benchie, but all of this has me thinking. All-in-all, this machine is not much faster than my 2800= nforce2 setup, in fact my 3dMark03 & 01se scores are much lower. With my 2800 I was getting 17250 in 01se & 6250 in 03, now with the setup below I'm getting 5243 in 03 & 15874 in 01se. Even turning the quality down has little impact on the score. One big difference in the a64's favor is I can run 'lock-on' at much faster framerates with AA & AF turned all the way up. The Vid card and extra HDD came from my old box which was about 6 months old.
My AGP apature is set @ 128mb, my mem timings are below and my CPU is not OC'd, but my GPU is; it's set to 432/371, but not all of the time. I'm running cat 4.1 drivers. So whats the deal, any guesses?
Like I said I'm not all that concerned with my 3dMark scores as I am that I may be missing something that is causing my computer to take a performance hit.

Ok, I managed to get mine fixed. I now get a cpu score of 628. This is with normal windows applications (virus killer, etc) running in the background. Will I tell you how I did it or will I keep you in suspense jk.
Ok, I did 2 things at once so I am not sure which fixed it.
1. Removed my 1G pc2700 memory and put in 512Mb DDR400 generic memory.
2. Switch off cool n quiet in the bios.
I suspect it's the cool n quiet but havent turned it back on again yet to check.
Hope this works for you (hope you havent started installing fresh windows yet).
Edit.. On a side note since you asked about via drivers. I have them all installed except IDE. I find via IDE drivers to be TERRIBLE. This is my first via board in a long time. I used to have via boards (over 5 years ago) and I had the same problem then. Whenever you put the VIA ide driver in the system goes to Sh*t. The drives become noisy and the performance is poor. My advice is to stick with the microsoft ones - a million times better.

Considerably improved over the GT70, purchased from Ken at GenTech PC, I am one of the first official GT72 owners on the planet.
So, what improvements does the GT72 bring to the table?
1. Improved chassis design.
2. Larger touchpad, smooth and seamless with the palm rest.
3. A large, cool to the touch, glass-like polymer palm rest.
4. More USB 3.0 ports.
5. A 230W PA.
6. A 1080p webcam
7. Revised Steelseries keyboard, flex-free, with brighter back-lighting.
8. Dual fan cooling solution, with improved chassis vent design, a better fan control profile, ergo.....
9. Better overall temps, with quieter operation.
10. Re-designed chassis, and finally a new model designation.
11. Gone is the problematic capacitance touch bar, replaced with positive touch switches.
12. Gone is finicky Optimus switching, replaced with a simple dedicated GPU switch.
13. mSATA SuperRAID 2, is replaced with M.2 SuperRAID 3, increasing speed, and the capacity of the RAID set. ( M.2 should improve significantly with the Intel 9-Series chipset)
14. Killer Doubleshot Pro, wherein Ethernet and Wireless can be used independently, or simultaneously for improved bandwidth.
15. And finally, due to the overall re-design, a more intuitive gaming experience.

Initial thoughts......
Well, here it is..... the MSI GT72-2PE Dominator Pro-007US, and the photos below do not do it justice. It's Bold, it's Bad, it's Fast, it's Powerful, and honestly, there is not much, not to like about this notebook. If there is one thing I feel could have been better, it would be the display. The Chi Mei CMN1735 has good brightness, color, and contrast, but lacks decent viewing angles.
Anyhow, I have already spent a lot of time with tweaking, photos, benchmarks, etc., so I am going to cut-to-the-chase, and try to make this as short as possible.
As to performance, the benchmarks below attest to the GT72's awesomeness, so what about noise, and the redesigned dual-fan cooling solution? Simply put, it is quieter than the GT70, has a better fan profile, and temps are well managed. Given the hardware, of course you will hear the fans spin up when the system is stressed, but it is not at all disturbing..... and when doing common task, the fans are only noticed if you get close and cozy with the system. Ambient room temperature was 78F, and the system's idle temps were CPU@38C, and GPU@36C. Without the use of Cooler Booster ('stock' fan profile only), during benchmarks the CPU reached 78C, and the GPU averaged 80C, peaking to 82C during the 3DMark Sky Diver benchmark. The palm rest remains cool to the touch, it's polymer is smooth as glass, and it's surface is seamless across the touchpad. Only a mild warmth rises from the keyboard.
The Steelseries keyboard is indeed flex-free, keys are very positive and responsive, and the back-lighting is brighter..... which I attribute to the keyboard's re-design. Looks awesome!
So what about SuperRAID 3, is it fast? Oh YEAH! Performance exceeds SuperRAID 2, as expected, and the system boots to desktop in as little as 6 to 7 seconds. HD Tune Pro reports an average read time for the Toshiba M.2 SSD's, as 1535MB/s..... while the previous SuperRAID 2 Sandisk X100 mSATA SSD's was an average of 1411MB/s. On the other hand, SuperRAID 3 really shines in the Crystal Disk Mark scores. To best evaluate the 'Real-World' performance of SuperRAID 3, I used the PCMark 8 Storage Test. For those unfamiliar with this benchmark, the performance score of 5014 is very respectible. The duration of this grueling benchmark is generally 1 to 3 hours, and the GT72 sped through in just 1 hour and 8 minutes. All in all, I applaud MSI's use of the new M.2 SSD's, but I think performance will most improve with future 9-Series Intel chipsets.
With all the attributes I've mentioned above, it is when gaming, that you understand the mastery of it's intuitive design. The re-designed flex-free keyboard, the large smooth & heat-free palm rest, the spatial Dynaudio speakers, and vivid display, all lend to an immersive gaming experience. So much so, I found myself playing my test game, far longer than originally intended.
To run the GT72 through it's paces, I chose the recently released, AMD optimized title, Sniper Elite III, by Rebellion. With settings max'ed to 'Ultra', the GTX-880M smoothly sliced through the frames like a hot knife to butter, with frame-rates from 54 to 82Fps, averaging at 65Fps. Game play was extremely smooth and fluid, and never a hic-cup or artifact.
To represent the 'Out-of-the-Box' experience, I played with the stock fan profile, and Cooler Booster was never used. Like with my benchmark testing, the fan noise was not disturbing, and game audio though the Dynaudio speakers easily comes to the forefront. Fan noise was never a distraction. Temps of the GPU peaked to 82C, but averaged 64C, and the CPU peaked at 68C, averaging 54C. Again, with hardware like this, and without the use of Cooler Booster, these temps are outstanding.... and the new dual fan design is a success!
Initially I intended my game session to be an hour..... in no time it became 3+ hours, and playing on this notebook is simply FUN!
The look and feel is very stylish, and smooth finish is actually somewhat fingerprint resistant. Overall, with these great looks, it's fully loaded system specs, and stellar performance scores, the MSI GT72 Dominator Pro not only entitles bragging rights..... it DEMANDS them!
All of this has me VERY excited for the upcoming next-gen 9-Series, Maxwell, X-treme Edition GT72! Can't wait!
Enjoy!

Could I get some help second guessing myself?

Hi I am building a set of new systems for work.
We are a small graphics and animation house with 3 animators. Earlier this year we lost our 2 editors, one to retirement and one who decided to go do his own thing.
So at the moment things are relatively good as we are getting a good deal of 2d and 3d animation work. I was tasked by my boss to come up with new systems that would "for now" bridge the gap for company that would be 3 all a round systems for 3 all a round broadcast generalist.
Our core software that we use is Autodesk Max/Maya and the CS5 production suite. Our use breakdown is around 50% 3d and 50% compositing/editing per job. Our editing demands are not full 24/7 editing but mostly rough cuts for compositing. My boss would like us to strech ourselves even a little bit thinner than we are and for us animators to be able to do unsupervised edits and in our 2 edit suites still hire full freelance editors on a per project basis until we can hire a new editor(s).
Here is what I can up with and a few notes. PLEASE any thoughts are welcome.
OS: Windows & professional 64 bit
Motherboard:
Supermicro H8DGi-F
CPU's: (x2)
Opteron X12 6134 G34 2.3G
Notes 16 cores total the most that Adobe and Mental Ray under Max and Maya I think will handel
GPU
PNY nVidia Quadro 4000
Had to got *pro card here it's not the fastest but unfortunatly the drivers for 3d are important to us, to the point we just could not pass them up.
Memory:
G.SKILL 4GB 8 kits (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333
32 Gig total that means we should be able to support 9 fully funded cores for HD 1080 work for rendering in AE/Premier correct?
PSU:
Corsair Professional Series Gold High Performance 750-Watt Power Supply CMPSU-750AX
Needed for the pin outs for the AMD motherboard. I think I got enough voltage if I did my math right yes/no?
OS Drive:
Revo Drive 120 GB PCI Express solid state RAID drive
Used this drive so as to not take up a Motherboard SATA slot so I can squeeze 1 more drive into the raid and still have a DVD/Blueray burner. Given that it should act speed wise in parity with the raid as well seemed like a great option...or was I wrong?
Raid Drives: (x5)
SAMSUNG - SPINPOINT F1 DESKTOP CLASS 1TB 7200RPM 32MB
Seem like the most common raid drives atm from what I have seen. A vendor we are working with suggested instead that we use the Seagate Constellation™ ES drives but I am unsure. I was also told that yes even though motherboard raid controllers are bad that 5 of either of these drives should be able to play back an uncompressed HD 1080 stream. is this correct?
Blueray/DVD
LITE-ON Black 12X BD-R 2X BD-RE 16X DVD+R 12X DVD-RAM 8X BD-ROM
anyone know if this drive is compatible with encore I cannot seem to find the encore compatibility list?
Audio Card
ASUS Xonar DS 7.1 Channels 24-bit 192KHz PCI Interface Audio Card
included for compatiblity sake here just in case someone has used this card and has had problems.
Monitors (x2)
Dell UltraSharp U2211H 21.5"W Monitor
IPS panels with display ports...they don't have the highest refresh rates but most ips panels don't, from what I see should I go with PVA Panels instead here? Still will need a display port hook up if I don't as the Quadro 4000 only has one DVI and I hate non native connectors.
additional questions: \
I see all the top performers in Harms' list are in the 980x camp and I would like to explore this option but intels hold such little amounts of ram. I know that a lot of the premier performance is on the Cuda side now for simple things, but for more complex tasks I thought 1080p HD required 3 gig per core to process a frame. I look at the pass mark scores and just don't see them doing as well as they do if given a 12 Gig system, what am I missing?
The reason I am posting this system here is frankly of all the disciplines we cover at work I know the least about editing and Premier. I know for 3 the purposed system is A level and on the compositing side still in the B level because the disk perf and ram are in order with the CPU's but is this system ok for editing tasks?
Our budget is around $4500 per system given that our demands are pretty steep covering 3d/2d/compositing and some editing how did I do?
-Carl
second guessing myself like crazy because as a company we need to hit this nail on the head.
*edited for spelling mistakes

Mulitple GTX 470 shouldn't cause any problems running in Premiere Pro CS5, although as you seem to be aware, they will not offer any additional performance improvements within Premiere. They will provide very good performance with iRay under 3DMax, although you should be aware that Geforce cards do not support the 3DSmax performance drivers and will perform poorly compared to the Quadro 4000 you mentioned in both Max and Maya.

Do I have a Problem?

I have recently changed my cpu and video card from an AMD Athlon 64 3500/XFX 6800gt AGP to an AMD Athlon 64 x2 4800 duel core/XFX 7800GS.
I think I may have a problem, but I'm not sure.
Windows is very stable and quick. In device mgr. and task mgr. I see 2 cpu's. In device mgr. under Computer I see ACPI Multiprocessor PC.
The thing is, I see no improvment in the 3DMark06 tests (except for the cpu score) and my FPS in BF2 are all
over the place. From 99 to the 20's depending on whats on the screen.
This is what I have done;
Flashed the BIOS to 7025v1c.
I have not cleared the CMOS or loaded fail-safe/optimized defaults.
Did install AMD Dual Core Optimizer.
Did install amd drivers for duel core. (did not unistall old cpu driver)
Did the winxpduelcore Hotfix.
I have not done a repair install or fresh install of winxp.
Here are MY 3d mark scores, everything is default except for changing to repeating 3 times.Did the normal shutdown of tasks and prosesses in Task Mgr.
AMD3500/6800GT

Still a no go. Tried the last good config. and in safe mode.The installer gets to the second screen after the nivida splash screen (preparing setup?) then goes away. The VGA cable is connected correctly, I have checked it at both the vard end and the psu end. The 3dmark06 is all default (except for repeating 3 times). When I submit the results online they are way way low.
do you have the same terrible scores before BIOS update or you didn't tested it before?
go into BIOS and LOAD BIOS DEFAULT settings.
then make clean OS installation.
if you use RAID prepare diskette with drivers: http://download.msi.com.tw/support/dvr_exe/mbd_dvr/nVidia_nForce_SATARAID_Floppy.zip
and load with F6, at XP instalation start-up.
after installation is complete, install drivers in a this way:
chipset drivers 1st: http://download.msi.com.tw/support/dvr_exe/mbd_dvr/NVSA020.zip
reboot.
install Dual Core Optimizer: http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/utilities/Setup.exe
reboot
then VGA drivers: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_91.47.html
reboot.
then drivers for your onboard audio: http://download.msi.com.tw/support/dvr_exe/mbd_dvr/Realtek_ALCXXX_NF3.zip
reboot.
install latest DirectX (October): https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=101793.0
run 3dmark 06.
if scores are still terrible, suggest you to try with better PSU. like in my signature or other good examples here:

Xpath-functions

hi
what are the various xpath fuctions in xslt mapping?

hi
various xpath functions like translate(),concat(),Subsrting(),sum(),count() string() in xslt mapping with an example...
the syntax and number of parameters accepted by each xpath funtion are:
substring()
This Function is used to extract some portions of the string from the original string.It takes a specified number of characters out of a string
syntax: substring("PRASAD BABU",1,6)
translate()
The translate function takes the string in the value argument,replaces all occurrecnes of a string specified in the string1 argument with substitue characters specified in string2 argument and returns the modified string.
syntax: translate("prasad babu","abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz","ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ")
string()
The string function converts the input to a string.
syntax: string("prasad babu")
concat()
The concat function takes all the individual arguments,concatenates them together in order,and returns the resultstant string
syntax: concat("prasad","babu")
sum()
The sum function converts PCDATA text to a numeric value
syntax: sum(p2:marks/score)
count()
This function is used to count the nodes
syntax: count(p2:marks/subjects)
for clear picture

How to choose gaming laptop with right Graphics for your demand?

Most users buy a gaming laptop because of playing games, but do you have clear picture of these GPUs performance and comparison in mind before you choose it?
Here comes the check list about the GPU Pipeline(Cores) and memory info as below table, it's the key index related to the 3D benchmarks and gaming performance, and it's easier for all users to check if the GPU/Graphics performance is good or bad compare with last generation graphics.
Normally we know that GTX780M/770M is enthusiast level for ultra gaming, and GTX765M/760M is for high performance gaming, GT750M/740M is performance level HD gaming, but what's the gap and difference of these graphics?
Analysis about 3D Mark scores
For the 3D Mark Vantage, it's the benchmark reference based on DirectX10 effects and rely on more CPU performance. According to the score rated, performance level should over P7000 score, high performance level should over P13000 score, extreme performance level must over P18000 score. So you could see that GTX780M, GTX770M, GTX680M and GTX675MX were on the top of the enthusiast level graphics with great performance.
Then we look on the 3D Mark 11 tests, it's pure DirectX11 gaming performance test, more rely on GPU/Graphics performance, and less impact from different CPU, so you could see that 3D Mark 11 is more demand on graphics performance. Performance level need to over P2000 score, High Performance level need to over P3000 score, and to be enthusiast level will need to over P4000 score. Take a look on GTX780M, it's top performance and leading far from other graphics performance, GTX770M and GTX680M are also great to pver P5000 score as enthusiast level graphics. GTX765M got same score as GTX675MX, so you could see the improvement of the GTX7xx series from GT6xx series.
Same situation with 3D Mark Fire Strike, the latest benchmark program from Future Mark, it's also the heavy loading 3D test program of DirectX11 effects, so you could see the score was similar but lower to 3D Mark 11 P score results.
Then we look at AMD platform with GX60/GX70 series from MSI, it's all over P4800 score, so the gaming experience is really better than enough, and you could take it with Eynfinity mode as a gaming machine with 3 monitors surround view as well.
Something need to be noticed
There is a trap from different memory chip difference, we take a look on the GT750M with 2 columns, the top one comes with GDDR5 and below one comes with DDR3, you could see the GDDR5 version is over 10% faster than DDR3 version, that means 4GB is not help on the performance enhancement, please choose MSI GE series laptop with GT750M GDDR5 will be much better for gaming.
Another part, you could see both Intel embedded graphics HD4600 and AMD embedded graphics AMD8650G was faster than GT720M and GT630M, so anyone who wants to buy the laptop with GT720M/GT630M graphics or under, it's a kind of waste on the performance and price point of view, you rather to buy an UMA version laptop without low performance graphics to have less heat, lower power consumption and more battery life indeed.
Conclusion at last
Lets come out a performance summarize for your purchase reference.
MSI GT series with GTX780M/770M is the best choice for 1920x1080 Full HD resolution and ultra detail setup gaming experience. That's why professional gamers always buy MSI GT series with finest graphics!
Choose GE series or GS70 with GTX765M/760M is suitable for 160x900 HD+ resolution and higher detail gaming experience, if users wants to play with 1920x1080, must sacrifice the detail to become medium, for some heavy game titles even need to set low detail.
If you are not powerful graphics demand users, you could choose GE series with GT750M or GP series with 740M, is suitable for 1366x768 HD resolution and high detail gaming experience, or runs at 1600x900 with lower detail setup. Sometimes GT740M even need to adjust the detail become medium or low to make the game smoother to play in heavy loading games.
Remark: All benchmarks will have +-5% score range depends on different test status and conditions.

WOW ~ the most detail analysis I've ever see , gamers just follow the above expert's suggestion , you will buy excatly what you need !!! rocks !
- best enthusiast and ultimated gaming without budget limitation, just choose GT70/GT60 series
- gamers need super mobility should choose GS70 series
- the best cost/ performance ratio product should be GE70/GE60/GE40, or GX70/GX60 ( HD8970M also great for ultimated gaming)
- if you are on-line gamer or multi media professional expert, GE or GP series is also great for you
- GS is also great with super slim body, professional expert for movies and music studio must take into consideration...

What's wrong with the admin???

I posted twice a question regarding 3D Mark score results on the new MBP and both times they were deleted??? Its a legitimate performance related question, I find it particularly annoying that the admin that decided to delete it did not even bother providing me with an explanation! Go figure!

Hi,
What version of SBO have you?
If you have a 2004 version and have W2003 SP01 see the note 833798.
Best Regards.

General questions on buying a new Mac...

hey guys, i am looking to buy a new mac in the next year or so. i currently have the powerbook g4 from when i went to school and its running very slow these days and i couldnt upgrade past leopard because of the processor. anyways, im wondering what you guys think as far as laptops go, im not very savy when it comes to this stuff but it seems the macbook pro is the best of the best when it comes to laptops, especially as far as apple goes.
one of my main questions is about how far this laptop will take me, i was very upset about my powerbook not being able to go further than the leopard upgrade. does apple offer anything as far as being able to upgrade for x amount of years? its an expensive piece of equipment and im just wondering what the life expectancy is for something thats $2,500 lol. is apple planning on unveiling a new macbook pro with an even newer processor that is gonna outdate the current intel based?
would i be better off buying the computer tower and monitor that way i can replace things if they get outdated? i have no experience in that but i have heard that when it comes to upgrading a laptop its near impossible compared to a tower that you can open up and change things out?
what do you guys think? any tips would be great, im kinda torn because of the money and i wanna make sure im making the best investment i can and one that will last me as long as it possibly can. like i said guys, im not up to date with tech news so if you guys can help me out i would appreciate it.
thanks again

Well there has been some changes, Intel processors with integrated graphics that are lousy in performance (scores only 11) and no dedicated video cards.
So watch out the MBP your buying (usually the 13") doesn't have "only Intel HD 3000 graphics" or it will be hot and lousy at 3D games.
The higher end 15" or 17" antiglare screens are your best options for longer use and performance (can 3D game online for about 1.5 years before a upgrade hobbles you) Score 35-45 on Cinebench, as they also have a dedicated video card and you can turn off Graphics Switching in Energy Saver to run off the video card all the time. (nice)
seems the macbook pro is the best of the best when it comes to laptops, especially as far as apple goes.
It's all that Apple carries now, no more MacBooks, unless you want to count the 13" MBP as a MacBook which it's more like that than a "Pro" machine.
I'd advise the anti-glare screen option on the 15", so you can see the screen anywhere like your present machine. The new ones with nicer looking glossy screens are a pain to use, may hurt your eyes, headaches etc.

one of my main questions is about how far this laptop will take me
MacBook Pro's now are lasting about 4 years with about daily use with care, lesser of course with no care.
AppleCare is a must, so figure another 10% for that and tax. $100 case and a $100 external drive for backup (you really need two)
does apple offer anything as far as being able to upgrade for x amount of years?
No, you have to buy each new OS X version and upgrade all your third party software and go through lots of pains doing so.
I can give you this expereince, your good to upgrade the OS 2x, after that you should stop.
10.8 is being released this summer, I would wait a few months afterwards when it comes on new hardware, you will be glad you did. 10.7 is not working out right, 10.8 is going to fix things we hope.
its an expensive piece of equipment and im just wondering what the life expectancy is for something thats $2,500 lol.
4 years, $700 a year.
is apple planning on unveiling a new macbook pro with an even newer processor that is gonna outdate the current intel based?
We cant' speculate on future Apple hardware, but I gave my advice about 10.8 above.
would i be better off buying the computer tower and monitor that way i can replace things if they get outdated?
Yes that would be a much more cost effective method, however this is the problem.
You would have to buy the MacPro Tower and you could change the hard drives, RAM and monitor, but you can't get any video card upgrades for them.
Once your three year AppleCare ran out and your video card died, your bummed. So much for that plan.
Also Apple has increased their OS X release cycle (like because 10.7 was so bad) but you don't get security updates unless your on the last two operating systems in circulation.
So your 10.4 and 10.5 machines are currently insecure online, and 10.6 will also be when 10.8 is released this summer. So Apple gets you to force upgrade that way.
what do you guys think? any tips would be great, im kinda torn because of the money and i wanna make sure im making the best investment i can and one that will last me as long as it possibly can.
I'll give you my honest opinion being a lifelong Mac user.
Get a Windows 7 64 bit 3D gaming tower, 4GB of RAM expandable to 8GB or even 16GB and a decent power supply.
Why?
1: Because Microsoft supports their OS version for 10 years with security and stability updates.
2: Because you can get video card upgrades as well as hard drives, optical drives, RAM and external devices like monitors etc.
3: You'll have more software to choose from, and especially 3D games.
4: Microsoft provides free Security Essentials anti-malware,
5: When you get the machine, you make System Restore Images, DVD's and boot disks to restore your own system pre-malware and immedialty Windows Update and make new ones.
Case in point, my friends XP Tower has lasted him 10 years, he paid $1200 for it new, for $120 a year.
Sure he's had the OS replaced a few times, I've done it for dinner once or twice. Others did it for a case of beer. Cant't beat that!
In the last 10 years with Apple I have spent over $9,000 in their hardware for 3 computers that I've used myself, in fact I'm looking at my dead 4 year old 15" MBP right now which the video card failed a few months outside the 4 year recall notice.
https://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377
That's $900 a year and 2 of them are laptops, one was the PowerMac G5 that Apple decided they were not going to support the 10.5 OS anymore so it made a bad decision to keep it, despite it being almost as powerful as most Mac laptops today. I could have kept that one, but with no OS X support, what can I do?
So if you toss $1600 into a 3D gaming tower, that's $160 a year verses $700 a year with the MBP AND you can upgrade it. You can replace the video card or hard drive or anything else that fails! Not so with a Mac.

Let's face it, you and quite possible me now, are in not Apple's target market anymore, you need to save money and Apple no longer offers any longterm value like they used to.
Microsoft has fixed Windows with Win 7, it's not that bad actually provided you get a good machine and a decent quality monitor. The security of Windows 7 is better than OS X now and on top of that, you can reinstall the entire boot drive yourself easily if you make advanced preparations.
Also Win 7 doesn't look as bad as before, the Aero glass is pretty neat. It's made a lof of Windows users happy. Still though OS X is a much nicer OS that Windows, but the thing with Windows, it stays the same. Apple changes OS X almost constantly, 10.7 last summer, 10.8 this summer!!!
So I know this is going against everything my avatar is, but I don't want you to throw your money away if you really need to hold on to it.
I know times are not good, Apple has billions upon billions they don't need your money. Save your money and get what you need that just does the job.
I don't drive around wreacking $200,000 sports cars and I don't expect you too neither.
