Machine Specs for HCP Offerings

When selecting the size of the machine the only option available is amount of memory and disk space. There seems to be no option for processor speed and number of CPU's. Anyone knows how many cores is available and what is the processor speed?
Also when choosing the App Service is the Apps run on the same machine as the Database or on a different machine? If on a different machine what are the specs for the machine the app is run on?

Can someone help me with optimal specs for a 2012 R2 server migration from 2003 R2?

My specs for the Windows Server 2003 R2 which is our file server are:
Intel Core 2 CPU 6600 @ 2.40GHz (2 CPU's), ~2.4GHz Processor types are x86 Family 6 Model 15 Stepping 6 GenuineIntel ~2399 Mhz Physical Memory is 2 GB RAM Virtual Memory is 4 GB We have 6 fixed drives in place. They all range from 300 GB to 1 TB in total space.
We have two roles on the file server in place which are File Server and WINS Server. We have QuickBooks running on it and a bunch of random smaller applications as well.
When it comes to purchasing servers, we're open to either getting all the parts and building it from the ground up or a built machine. So my question is when getting Server 2012 R2, based on what I said, what hardware should I be getting? If you need more information,
please don't hesitate to ask.
Also, if you know where I could find quality documentation on the actual migration process for a file server between 2003 R2 and 2012 R2, please let me know.
Thank you for reading. ^_^

Hi,
Since Microsoft is ending support for Windows Server 2003 R2 mid-2015, there are a bunch of resources. To partially answer your question. I came across the following blog by Jose Barreto that might be able to help.

Choosing specs for a mac pro

Hello all,
I've posted this question a few times in the past and am still a bit unsure of what specs i should go with. With the student/teacher discount coming to an end soon, I thought I'd give it one more go. I am also curious how the new mac pro might affect my decision. I will not be needing a 12 core, but did this new product affect the specs for the lower models?
I am looking for a computer that will help me run my small business and keep my art portfolio organized. I'm willing to spend around $3000 and am also willing to use another source to buy less expensive parts to install myself.
My concerns are that it needs to run pretty smoothly with multiple programs open, no overheating, plenty of space for file storage and application support.
Ideally this computer will be my work horse for many years to come.
The programs that would most likely be open in conjunction with one another would be a combination of the following...mozilla, itunes, adobe bridge, dreamweaver, illustrator, and photoshop.
Specifically, i'll be using it for...
building a few websites
managing my small business
large photo file editing
keeping business files, artist receipts, etc
cataloging my art portfolio (large photo files)
storing photos, music, and short videos
graphic design
infrequent film editing
infrequent sound editing
The programs i'll be using:
CS5 (mostly photoshop, illustrator, bridge, dreamweaver)
iphoto
itunes
maybe minimal finalcut/soundtrack pro
maybe minimal aftereffects
I received this response the first time I posted this question and have found it to be very helpful, thanks bill! I'm wondering if anyone else would like to expand on it or perhaps offer other options for my situation. Thank you all very much, any advice is appreciated.
"My advice would be to buy the standard configuration 2.66GHz Quad Core (i.e. 3 x 1GB RAM, 640GB hard drive) from the Apple store, with the exception of the graphics card which you can buy as a CTO option for $200.00. It is well worth the upgrade from the GT120 - I know, because I upgraded myself last November after using a GT120 for 4 months.
With regard to the memory, if you can afford it now, buy 4 x 4GB from OWC now. If not, I would suggest that you buy 2 x 4GB now, and then add another 2 x 4GB in the future. 16GB of RAM is a much better option than 8GB for your requirements. You can sell the 3 x 1GB RAM to OWC in "part exchange", and there would be little difference in price for 2 x 4GB to the CTO option of 4 x 2GB.
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Mac-Pro-Memory#1066-memory
Instead of buying 2 x 1TB hard drives as a CTO option, you could purchase 2 x 1.5TB or 2 x 2TB HDDs for less money, and you would still have the 640GB. Spare drives are always useful. I use my original 640GB as a spare emergency system boot drive (OS and applications) in an external enclosure.
Another alternative is to wait a few more weeks, in case the rumours of the introduction of a new Mac Pro range in June have any foundation."

That advice looks pretty sound to me. What I would add is for internal drives you need one for storing your working files (better not to have those on your system drive but not really a big deal). And one for backup with Time Machine. What I also have is a separate external drive to clone my system so I have 2 backups.
And I have a partition on one of the internal drives that is used ONLY as a Photoshop scratch disk. This is by far the fastest solution unless you want to create a raid system. Never have your scratch disk on the same drive as your system drive, not even as a partition. You only need around 500 MB for this and it's best if that partition is dedicated only as a scratch disk.
You can create all of this with partitions for some of it, no need for lots of drives, except use different drives for Time Machine and your clone disk so both can't go out at the same time. I think for speed purposes that the scratch disk and Time Machine should be on internal drives, but Firewire 800 is pretty fast for an external.
Other than that your biggest concern is ram. Get as much as you can afford because that will determine your speed more than anything else.
I was working on a 4 year old iMac, which is a pretty good machine, but the limited 3 gb ram was causing problems because I have Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign open all the time along with Mail, Chrome and a couple of others. When I got a Mac pro last year to replace it I got 8 gb of ram and the speed has been incredible.
Kevin
Edit: Forgot to mention that you shouldn't buy the hard drives or ram from Apple, they are way too expensive, get the minimum you can from Apple then get new stuff, OWC is a good source.

Computer specs for nice 3D rendering/ after effects rendering and video rendering in general ?

Hi there! I would like to know what the perfect specs for a laptop/workstation/computer are, so that I could do my creative work from home..my old laptop (Macbook Pro, 8Gb Ram, V 2010) is not good enough for 3D rendering, not even Video rendering or After Effects... I need to know what graphics card for eg or how much Ram or what I need to look for in a computer so that I won't get any error messages after rendering for half a day anymore...;) (--> very annoying) Money is not a first priority...i would first like to know, what the best option would be that one could have and then down size from there;)
I would appreciate every help:) my laptop is dying...i need something new and better;)
cheers stephs

Regardless of workflow, you want a workstation, not a laptop. You will get much more bang for your buck.
Also, as others have said, Windows machines tend to be better choices than Macs right now. And that's coming from two people who used to use/love Macs...
In general, you want the fastest clock speed on your processor that you can afford. You want as many cores as you can get with that nice, high clock speed.
Ideally, you want 4GB of RAM per core of your processor - MINIMUM 16 GB of RAM, (but get as much as you can afford).
You want an SSD for your cache and a good-sized regular hard drive to hold footage, renders, etc.
GPU matters for Premiere and any third-party plugins that use it (like Red Giant Universe, Element 3d, Mettle's ShapeShifter, etc.), but not for AE and not for Cinema 4D (which comes free with AE these days).
Again, this is just some generalization. For more specific info, we'll need to know more about what you're doing.
Also, you don't need to take our word for any of this; read what Adobe has to say on the matter: FAQ: What computer and components should I buy?

Server Specs for a 11.1.1.3 Install Important questions.

I've put together some specifications for a Development Server & Production Server, any comments appreciated. I hope this post acts as a good reference sample for anybody else out there looking to implement a Hyperion Planning.
Client Tier: (2 developers)
Windows
8 GB RAM
Dual Core Processor
Components: EAS client, Smart View, Excel Add-in
Web Tier:
HTTP Web and J2EE Servers:
Windows + (not sure which version would be best here, any ideas appreciated)+
Processor: 4 x 3 GHZ, 64 bit
RAM: 8GB
Hard Drive: 32 GB
Components: Foundation: HSS, Workspace, Planning, Web Applications: EAS, Financial Reporting, Web Analysis, Planning,
Services Tier:
Server1:
Windows (2003 SP1, R2)
Processor: 4 x 3 GHZ 64 bit
RAM: 16 GB
Disk: 32GB
Components: Essbase Server 64 bit
Server2:
Windows (2003, SP1 R2)
Processor: 2 x3 Ghz
RAM: 8GB
Hard Drive: 32GB
Components: Reporting & analysis, Financial Reporting Print Services, ODI
Server 3:
Windows (2003, SP1 R2)
Processor: 2 x3 Ghz 64 bit
RAM: 8GB
Hard Drive: 32GB
Components: FDM
Database Tier:
4 x 3 GHZ - 8 GB RAM
DISK: 100GB RDBMS
200GB Essbase Storage
The specifications will be similar for the production for abotu 25 - 30 users (10 concurrent), with RAM being a little bumped up.
One important question: I might need guidance on installing 32 bit planning or FDM on the 64 bit server - any known issues with this? Also any known issues with 64 bit Essbase working with 32 bit Planning?
Edited by: EssbaseApprentice on Sep 30, 2010 10:04 AM

obviously its hard to comment on whether it is the perfect spec for your environment, it looks alright to me, it is not under spec.
For the web tier as you are running reporting and analysis and the other machines are windows based personally I would stick with windows 2003.
Is there any reason why you have one machine dedicated just to FDM, seems a bit of an overkill just for one product, it may be worth combining services server 2 with FDM, just a suggestion though

Confusing Specs for Master Collection

Hi Folks,
I have CS6 Master Collection from a download. Now I need to buy a computer. I'd prefer to get a laptop that's running Windows. I know. That's not the thing these days. But the only support I can get where I live is for Windows and I need a smaller computer. It's hard to run for the border with a desktop under your arm. And I travel a lot, too. The areas where I work don't have cloud access, generally.
I'm at the beginning of this process and I'm learning. Forgive me ahead of time if I make blunders. It's OK to send me in the right direction.
The minimum specs for CS6 are a bit confusing. I'll get more than the minimums, once I figure out the direction. Here's what I see as the big points. They're straight from Adobe's system requirements for CS6.
Intel® Pentium® 4 or AMD Athlon® 64 processor with 64-bit support; Intel Core™2 Duo or AMD Phenom® II processor required for Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Encore; Intel Core i7 processor required for SpeedGrade
Optional (I'll get this if I can): 7200 RPM or faster hard drive (multiple fast disk drives, preferably RAID 0 configured, recommended) for v
RAM (I'll get more than this) 2GB of RAM (4GB recommended) for 32 bit; 4GB of RAM (8GB recommended) for 64 bit
I definitely want to use Premier and After Effects. SpeedGrade would be great to use, too. But, are the specs on the first bullet point saying that SpeedGrade won't work or won't work well with the processor that will run Premier? I'm confounded, if that's the case.
Any ideas you can send my way would be much appreciated.
Thanks

What I bought around January 2014 was a factory refurbished ASUS G750JW that was originally at BestBuy for about $1250 I found for $900. I got the 8GB unit and immediately upgraded it to 24 GB of RAM and then cloned the OS on the lousy 1 TB 5400 rpm drive to a 128 GB Samsung 840. And then installed a 256 GB Samsung 840 Pro in the second drive bay. This then made it a wonderful editing machine. In the process of many edits on this machine I found the some USB3 Flash memory drives worked absolutely great as read-only devices for holding the Project Files and the media. Unfortunately the PNY USB3 Flash Drives that I originally used which had great read speeds which originally had 180 MB/second read speeds were changed and now are lousy I am still looking for a replacement that will test as well or better than my original three PNY turbo, later versions were lousy
Both Asus with their newer G751, MSI with their GT 70 and 80 series and Lenovo with the Lenovo Y50-70 Laptop - 59421859 offer great possibilities.

How to find lenovo outlet machine spec

hey guys i just ordered a new ThinkPad T430 and when is was delivered i found there was no such information from outer box telling me the detailed spec of this machine, so i am wondering if there is anyway i can find the detailed spec? it lacks of Bluetooth/keyboard/network adapter information from the outlet page.
also, i am curious how accurate lenovo outlet spec is. is that possible i will get a machine with better or wose configuration?
thanks

You need to find your ThinkPad's machine type / model number. It's printed on a small label on the bottom of the case or inside the battery compartment and looks something like this (the 2668-KHU part):
Use this to look up the specs for that specific model on Lenovo's website using the Quick Path at http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/#

DIY Machine Spec Approval

My plan is to build my next PC myself (first time!). Here's what I've picked.
I know there are some sticky notes on machine specs, but I can't seem to find them.
I currently use Premeire Elements 7 for SD editing. But I'd like to make sure my machine will be somewhat future-proof and allow HD AVCHD editing with PRE10 - I can definitely see that coming. Maybe even if I win the lotto one day, I'd like to do HD AVCHD editing with Premiere Pro, maybe even using a Mercury-supported CUDA card.
CPU: Intel i7-2600
Mobo: Asus P8H67-V (4 Dual Channel slots of DDR3 1333/1066, (4) SATA 3GB HD, (2) SATA 6GB HD, UEFI BIOS)
PS: Seasonic M12II 520 (520 Watts)
CPU Fan: CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Plus
Memory: Crucial 16GB ("Ballistic Sport", DDR3 SDRAM 1600), 2 x 8GB, Dual Channel
Video Card: None - I'll use the CPU's built-in graphics - I heard they're supposed to be pretty good
OS: Win7 64-bit
HD1: WD Caviar Black 500GB SATA 6GB 7200RPM
HD2: WB 1TB SATA 3GB 7200 RPM
HD3: WB 1TB SATA 3GB 7200 RPM
RAID: The mobo supports SATA RAID 0/1/5/10, but I don't have any plans to do RAID right now.
One thing that seems odd is the memory: I've picked the Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB (#BLS2KIT8G3D1609DS1S00), which is $150 for 2x8GB DDR3. However, its speed is 1600 but my mobo only supports 1333/1066... that's OK, right? If I pick Crucial memory that matches my 1333 mobo speed, that would would be #CT102464BA1339 - but at $99 for 8GB, that would be $200 for 16GB whereas the Ballistix is only $150. Why is the slower memory more expensive? Is there something about the Ballistix memory I should know?
Also, my plan eliminates the possiblity of overclocking. I'm wondering if overclocking would buy me anything in the real world - I've never done this but from what I read it makes your CPU run hotter and can cause stability issues. Not sure what the performance gains would be, but I would not want to trade stability for speed. On the other hand, if the CPU cooler would mitigate any stability problems, I could go for the i7-2600K and a Z86 mobo for maybe $40 more.

Jeff, thanks for the thoughts.
Re: RAM...
I hadn't heard about that 12GB usability. Mostly I was just loading up on memory because every PC I've ever bought I ended up adding more RAM after the fact. My chosen mobo has 4 slots and dual channel, so whatever I get, I'd probably go for a pair of something, i.e. (2) 4GB or (2) 8GB.
Frankly, I'm a little stuck on memory.
On one hand, it seems fairly simple: get the cheapest (decent) memory and plop it in. On the other hand, there's a lot of options with brand, speed, and latency... do they have any real-word effect? I have no plans of overclocking.
For example,
8GB of Corsiar Vengeance (2 x 4GB) RAM is $50. Speed = 1600, Cas Latency = 9, Timing = 9-9-9-24.
16GB of Corsair Vengeance (2 x 8GB) RAM is $150. Speed=1600, Cas Latency = 10, Timing = 10-10-10-27.
So looking at the 8GB kit, I think: I could either do 8GB for $50, or double up (i.e. 4 x 4GB) and get 16GB for $100. For a $50 difference, that seems worth it.
But then I read a few things that basically said that all other things being equal, 2 DIMMs is better than 4 DIMMs just because of the coordination between the chips. Plus if I use 4 DIMMs I've used up all my mobo slots - if I ever wanted to add more memory (for Windows 11) I'd have to throw away perfectly good memory to free up slots.
So then I think, well the 16GB should use 2 x 8GB. But doing so means going from 8GB (2 x 4GB) to 16GB (2 x 8GB) is a difference of $100 instead of $50. Maybe that's not worth it. Plus from what I know about latency, less = better, so are the 8GB DIMMs actually slower than the 4GB DIMMs?
Arrgh!
Re: Video Card
For my initial build when funds are tight (i.e. my better half is watching closely ), I planned on just using the CPU GPU.
I looked up the GTX 560 and was pleasantly surprised to see that I could get an EVGA version for $190. That certainly makes the memory argument more compelling... a $50 memory savings won't do much toward getting me a GTX560, but $100 does!
So let me ask you this: Premiere Pro says it supports the GTX285/470/570/580 for GPU acceleration. The GTX560 looks like it has CUDA, so is that one of the cards that I could just tweak a config file and have Premiere Pro support it (albeit unofficially)?
I don't have Premiere Pro currently, but that's in my future plans, too.

MultiMedia Center for Think Offerings install issues with Vista

Hello,
I recently upgraded my ThinkPad Z60m to Vista by doing a clean install from disk. Since this process involves manually installing each of the ThinkPad utilities manually (no pre-built image for Vista, only XP), I have ran into some issues with the installer for the MultiMedia Center for Think Offerings.
According to the Support & Download page, there are two downloads available for the Z60m and both have issues (or errors) that are preventing me from installing the application. Below are the two products and reasons for not installing:
"MultiMedia Center for Think Offerings for Windows XP and 2000"
Problem: Does not install on Vista
Error message: "Could not open \device\physicalmemory"
"MultiMedia Center for Think Offerings for Windows Vista"
Problem: ThinkPad Z60m is not a supported
Error message: "This program is not for machine type 2529EAU"
What I am looking for is an installation of MultiMedia Center for Think Offerings that supports users who have upgraded from XP to Vista (or downgrade depending on your feelings of Vista ). I have not found anywhere saying that upgrades from XP to Vista are not supported, so I should expect that software updates should be available for ThinkPad products on either platform.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I recently did a clean install of Win7 Ult on my X61 7676A24, and this is the only Lenovo software that I could not find a Win 7 solution for. However,
1. I was able to load WinDVD8 upgrade (from Lenovo's Win7 information page) after first loading the WinDVD5 version that was the last good release for Vista.
2. The Multimedia Center for Think Offerings is basically Roxio's suite for writing cd/dvd's, drag to disc and so on.
Since I could not load this anyway, I was forced to try out Win7's inbuilt cd/dvd writing - it works perfectly well. Even better, Win7 natively supports an excellent ISO burning tool. So, I think if you explore these inbuilt tools, you can probably live without the Mul Cent for Think Off.

Thank you so much in advance for your help!
Best, Noetical.
BTW, I can't wait for the day when everything has gone digital and we get digital intermediates instead of tapes to digitize!

Hi Nick...thanks for taking the time to reply to my question.

NTSC pixels are never square.
NTSC is 720x486, even when it is Anamorphic.
You shouldn't be using an already letterboxed master to make an Anamorphic version. Get the master that was made before the letterboxing stage.
When you make an Anamorphic DVD it should display as 16:9 full screen automatically on widescreen TVs.
The same DVD will automatically letterbox on 4:3 TVs.
Um yeah...duh. That's exactly what I was trying to explain in the preface of my question. I'm sorry if I didn't make it clear...all these things you mention are the reasons I'm putting together a list of the technical specs of the DigiBeta I need so I can have them send that instead of the stupid letterboxed version.
Look, I'm sending this request to some intern at their offices in England, asking for a master with which I can make an Anamorphic DVD. They already sent me this master, which as you and I both agree is an idiotic asset to use for these purposes. As such, I was hoping for advice on a more precise way of requesting the master that I need than asking for "the master that was made before the letterboxing stage." Upon reflection, perhaps I'll just do that. If you or anyone else has a suggestion about something I should add to my request that would improve the odds of them sending the tape I need, please repond. Thank you!
BTW, It's been a long time since anyone has responded to something I've written or said as though I'm an idiot. I remember now that I don't really like it. (Moving along...)

Can I use a single external drive to maintain time machine backups for two Mac computers?

Hello
We have an older mac mini and macbook air. I have one Western Digital external USB drive. Can I use the same drive to hold and maintain time machine backups for both machines?
I already have the macbook air time-machined on the WD drive. I now want to backup the mac mini onto the same drive. Is it going to over write the time machine backup or is the software smart enough to maintain two separate files, partitions, whatever it does..?

It will maintain separate backups. Note that it's generally advisable to use separate drives for best practice backup, but yes, it will work for both computers, provided you have enough space (need generally 2-3 times the total used file space for both Macs).

Paper weight specs for HPLaserJet 100 color MFP M175nw

I have been trying (without success) to find the paper weight specs for my HP LaserJet 100 color MFP M175nw printer. Both the user manual and the online help only offer useless, non-specified info, such as : Use only heavy paper that is approved for use in laser printers and meets the weight specifications for this product. Tried to search for the paper weight specs for this product - no luck! I want to print on 200gsm (laser friendly paper), but don't want to damage my printer. PLEASE help?
This question was solved.

I will provide a link to a page that should be able to help out. Once you have the page pulled up click on the drop down titled “Paper-handling Specifications” then click on “Paper Tray Capacities”. That will open a chart that gives chart that list the paper, Paper weight, and the Capacity. I hope that this helps. Here is the link: http://goo.gl/xBtGF.
