MBP core 2 duo MBP outpunching dual Quad Xeon MacPro/ATI Radeon HD4870-why?

Specifically, on the Mac Pro, in a Pro Res 422 HQ timeline, FCP generated text requires rendering in safe mode with a red bar and in unlimited RT (dynamic frame rate/quality) is showing as an orange render. On my old MBP, text plays back fine in safe mode, with a light green preview bar. Any ideas?

Just a guess but it may be a buried preference setting somewhere.
Use a preference manager to save current configurations, (re)save the project, trash the preferences on both and open the same project on both machines.
Let us know what happens.

    Can I easily upgrade my 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo to the new Quad intel i7 processor? any compatibility issues?

    Not only can it not be done easily... it can't be done at all.  For starters, the processor is soldered to the logic board and it is not replaceable.  However, even if the processor were removable, the new quad core i7 processor is not compatible with the chipset used in your current system.  The new processors use an entirely new chipset.  The new processors also have an integrated GPU on the processor.  Your current chipset wouldn't have any idea how to deal with that.  Basically... apart from the fact that you just can't remove the processor, there are a significant number of hardware incompatibilites between the new processors and the logic board in your current machine.

  • Dual monitor connection for ATI Radeon 4350

    I have HP Pavilion Elite e9300z PC with 512MB ATI Radeon HD 4350 [DVI, HDMI, VGA adaptor]... I want to connect a 2nd monitor to video card. I think my current monitor is HDMI, so for the other (DVI) is it dual-link? In other words, should I get a dual-link DVI cable or a regular DVI-D cable? Thanks.

    Regular DVI-D cable shoould work, your monitor must have a DVI-D and not a DVI-I port...

    My guess is either a bad cable or bad adapter on the second monitor. Try switching the monitors and see if the problem follows the monitor.

  • MacPro, ATI Radeon X1900 XT + dual Dell 2407WFP

    Hi all,
    I have problems running 2 Dell 2407WFP displays in the highest resolution (1920x1200).
    I have no problem running 1 display using DVI.
    When I add the 2nd display, with DVI, it does not detect a signal. When I change the connection of the 2nd display from DVI to VGA (with adapter) it works. However, now the maximum resolution is 1024x768)
    How do I set this system up so that both diplays will show 1920x1200?
    Thanks,
    Oscar.

    Does it make a difference which way display you connect to which port as you should be able to use DVI with both displays. Also, check you cables. Make sure they both work. Also, try the usual round of resets like PRAM…

  • MBP 17' Core 2 Duo vs G5 Dual 2.5

    Hi,
    Time's come for me to upgrade my Powerbook. I am thinking of the top-of-the-line machine now for audio and video. Can someone, please, tell me how this MBP fares against PowerMac G5 Dual 2.5 (not dual core, but dual processor)? Any comments about speed comparison etc will be very much appreciated.

    is that really true with respect to hard drive?
    I can't say for audio although for video, it can make a substantial difference. The problem with video is that it require four things…
    1) CPU performance
    2) GPU performance
    3) RAM
    4) Hard drive performance
    … to running optimally. Once you break that symbiotic relationship by having any one of these underperforming then the balance is disproportionately affected.
    Hard drives are always going to be the weak link in this chain as a 10% variance in performance is a disproprtionate difference to say 10% CPU performance. If you look at Doug Lerner2's startup "test" by counting how many times the wheel goes around. This in actual fact a good test for your CPU/hard drive balance as booting is both CPU and drive heavy. My MBP does it usually in 9-10 rotations. My Mac Pro does it in 3. Granted I've got an extra processor and 3 drives extra (4 drive RAID) although booting off a single PATA drive drags it out to 5-6 rotations. There are degrees of "scary fast".
    what other things are fundamentally different about a laptop architecture that actually put them in a different class, apart from bus speed?
    Two things that cannot be gotten around… size and wattage. Both of which have strict controls for "how much" they can be. To give a comparison, look at the difference 1" extra in drive size gives yet you could never use a 3.5" drive in a laptop. Then consider that the ATi X1900 XT graphics card in my Mac Pro alone can consume 130W… that's more than your MBP in total! Additionally that's only 10% of the total wattage you can run through a Mac Pro. Then again, my MBP weigh 2.5kg where my MP weighs 25kg (which doesn't count the display or anything else) and is putting a hole in my floor as well as my electrical bill.
    Don't get me wrong… the MBP is a fantastic portable package. No doubt about it and it does compete extremely well against many desktop system.

  • Logic 7.2 and the new MBP or Dual/Quad MacPros

    Hello,
    I'm at a cross roads at the moment and I'm just wondering if you guys would be able to help me out?
    My G5 is kinda noisey, hot, annoyingly overloaded (especially with NI Massive..lol) and its time for a change. I'm toying with the idea of a new MBP or if/when Apple announce new MacPro's next week a MacPro/2.66.
    I'm just after some opinions on Logic and MBP's, if its a stable and useable platform to work on? I like the look of the new 2.4ghz MBP's and the possibility of integrating Ableton Live with my DJ setups. But Logic is my "wow" (no offence) and I'm undecided if moving from the G5 1.8DP to the MBP would be a big improvement. I imagine the laptop would be a lot more quieter than the MacPro.
    I was thinking of going for the 2.4 15" with the faster 7200.2 HD (i dont mind the 4-6 week wait) and buying a Motu Ultralite and a firewire caddy/hd for a 320gb Seagate.
    Then with the MacPro, its going to be really more powerful but then there's no portability.
    Hope you guys can help,
    Cheers.

  • Mac Pro Dual Quad Xeon 2.66, Lion, weird pattern on display, then died.  Won't reboot. Did hardware diagnostics, says no problem.  Video screen still has weird pattern, see apple, spins no boot.  HELP!

    Gee...I didn't know I was going to get a whole box to describe the problem.  We took it apart, checked memory, it's ok.  When I pried open the dvd and started from the install disc to run the hardware diagnostics, I pressed d.  It didn't give me a choice about hard discs to start from, I have a snow leopard bootable disc ad a lion bootable disc.  It didn't even see them.
    I have work to do! Freakin.
    So, it chimes, shows the apple with the pattern all over the screen and it spins, and then you see a progress bar.  it doesn't go any further.

    Take the card out and boot the machine.
    The hit one of the volume up/down keys on keyboad. If you here the usual sound, it booted.
    With any luck you have Screen Sharing enabled and can remotely log in.
    But reaching desktop with the card out is pretty much proof that card is gone.
    8800GT is black with 2 silver arrow shapes.
    You can try removing heatsink (12 screws) and baking it. (google)
    You have exacty NOTHING to lose, so 50/50 odds are worth a shot.

  • Does Core 2 Duo Processors equal speed of PPC dual processors?

    Greetings Apple Discussions:
    Is the (2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor) In the 17" MacBook Pro, relatively as fast as a (dual 1.2GHz processor) of a G4 PPC in a Quicksilver. By relatively I means is the (2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor) a dual 1.2GHz reaching a peak speed of 2.4GHz or is it a dual 2.4GHz reaching a peak of 4.8GHz?

    Thanks for the reply Rajesh:
    "equivalent of 2 2.4 processors" is what I wanted to know.
    Actually my brother is interested in the MacBook Pro. I wanted to be clear to him with the benefits he would get from it as opposed to a PC. I also had him considering getting a Quicksilver 2002 with and dual 1.6GHz for processing power and cost saving, but he wants portability.
    I am considering expanding my Sawtooth video card from the current radeon 8500 to the radeon 9800 AGP, because it can migrate to a G5 I am aiming at upgrading to in the future. I just need to know all the G5s it is compatible with.

  • What's the difference between the Core 2 Duo and the Core Duo

    I recently bought a new Macbook (Original) with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor.
    I gave my old one to my younger cousin. It has just an Intel Core Duo processor.
    What does that "2" mean?
    Does it mean the processor is faster?
    I was guessing it means that I can have more RAM (because this can hold 4 GB instead of 2 GB, like my previous Macbook)...
    Both these Macbooks have only 1 GB of RAM, yet the new one seems MUCH faster. The only real difference in technical specs is the processor. Could the processor be responsible for the much faster computer, or is it simply because it's a new computer?
    Thanks!

    The Core2Duo is faster than the CoreDuo. The other difference is that the Core2Duos can see 4GB of RAM, CoreDuo can only address 2.
    Part of that has to do with the chipsets, although I've heard that some of the Intel chipsets work with both the Core Duo and the earlier Core 2 Duo.
    The Core Duo is the dual-processor version of the Core processor.
    The Core 2 Duo is the dual-processor version of the newer generation Core 2 processor.
    The Core 2 series is more advanced. They likely are produced on faster semiconductor processes in smaller "geometries". I think part of it is a higher operating clock speed, but it could also include advances in processing power where it takes fewer average clock cycles to complete certain instructions. There could be things like more pipelines, faster/more arithmetic logic units, and other architectural improvements that makes it work faster overall even without clock-speed increases.

  • ATI RADEON X1900XT in G5 DUAL ?

    Hello - I have a G5 DualCore (not INTEL version but the previous one) PCI expres - I have planned to purchase a new graphic card (now I have GeForce 6600) and I would like the ATI RADEON X1900XT but I have still not understand if I can mount it on my Mac or not.
    Does anyone knows if it is possible put it in the G5 Dual Core (Sony)?
    Thanks for any informations

    There are two versions of the X1900XT. The Mac Pro version, and the G5 version. The link that I provided you is for the G5 version that will work in the dual core G5, with no problem of compatibility.
    Are "ATI RADEON X1900 G5 Mac Edition" and the " ATI RADEON X1900XT Mac Edition" the same?
    No, they are different. The ATI RADEON X1900 G5 Mac Edition is for the dual core G5. The ATI RADEON X1900XT Mac Edition is for the Mac Pro.

  • MBP Core 2 duo 2.33 vs. PowerMac G5 dual 2.0

    Hey all. Trying to decide what type of computer to buy here. Upgrading from a G4 powerbook (12", 1.5 processor, 1.25GB ram, 100GB 7200rpm HD). I will be using the computer for audio recording (up to 4 simultaneous tracks as of now) with various external firewire audio interfaces.
    I am aware of the firewire issues with the new 2.4 MBP's so those are out of the question. My choices are a 1 year old MBP 15" Core 2 Duo 2.33 model with about a year of apple care left or a PowerMacG5 dual 2.0 (early or june 2004 most likely) with either 2x20" monitors or one 23" monitor. All will have about 2 GB ram. Price aside which would you all go for. Which has the obvious power advantage, dual core or dual processors. Also the MBP will have 256mb video ram, the PowerMacG5 will have either 64 or 128mb. obviously the MBP has the upper hand there.
    Now to add price into the equation. The PowerMac will cost me about $1400 for the setup with monitors. The MBP, about $1900. What would you all do?
    Also, can anyone enlighten me on the differences between different "models" (or production eras) of the MBP. I know the video cards changed manufacturers and ram size throughout the range. Did anything else change substantially? Is one of the "models" exceptionally better than another. Thanks alot...

    Yes, any 9.5mm high SATA will fit.
    (b) Would there be any heating issues related to it?
    The chances are better than even that it will run hotter than your previous drive. All other things being equal (rarely the case), a 7200 will use more power and create more heat.
    (c) How about power.. would it chew up more battery?
    See previous answer.
    (The reason I've opted for 7200 over 5400 is purely for speed.. I regularly use Audio Production apps as well as Photoshop & FCP so figured the faster RPM would be advantageous?
    Again, all other things being equal, a 7200 will certainly be faster.

  • Why is the boot time on my mac pro 2010 slower than my 2010 core 2 duo 13 mbp?

    The mac pro uses around 13 seconds from i hit the power button til i hear the chime and see the grey screen.

    Well it might take a little longer since POST (power-on self test) needs to check more memory.
    But try doing a smc and pram reset and see if that helps.
