Need details about Toshiba 15.4" Intel Duo Core 2 T5800
Can anyone give me any information/review on this computer. I found it in a FuturShop store for 999.99$.
However I can't seem to find any information about it online anywhere.
I was told by a friend that it's a new special edition laptop or something. I need a tough computer as I do a lot of traveling and I will be using it for photos, music, videos, home financing, internet, excel, word, etc. Some games but not a main concern.
Any info on the webcam, DVD burning capabilities, and expandibility would be appreciated.
Below are some of the specs. I'm not too knowledgeable on computers so I hope I've given enough relevant info. Thanks in advance.
4GB DDR2
320GB Hard Drive
HELP
Well buddy, the most information and details about all actual Toshiba notebooks can be found on the Toshiba European page.

Need RAM Installation Instructions for mac mini intel duo core
I just purchased two gig of ram for my intel duo core mac mini and cannot figure out how to install. I was able to get the cover off - but where does the RAM go?
I can't find any instructions on the apple support page for the mac mini.
All of the links in discussion board that I found are for instructions on installing ram on single processor mac mini which uses different type of ram and is installed in diff location.
Any help greatly appreciated.I found a video here at owc: http://eshop.macsales.com/tech_center/index.cfm?page=Video/mini/intel/high.html

Using Adobe CS2 with mc book pro intel duo core 2,16 .17"
As a designer working on high definition heavy graphic files intended for digital printing, i am about to go for mc book pro 2,16 duo core and 2gb ram.
I need to use CS2 (photoshop, illustrator) and know that it is not a native soft version, so not otimized for this processor. Any how, I just cannot wait CS3 (Adobe says 2007 whenever they are ready !), so I need advise of professional users of such applications on this mc book pro intel duo core 2,16 17".
I heard pretty scary rumours about such a professional use.
PLEASE HELP BEFORE I GO FOR PC/WIN !!!CS runs beautifully, with really no lag at all. Keep in mind that I haven't gotten to upgrading from 1 GB RAM to 2 yet, since my tablet died and I needed to replace that. I just installed CS2 last week, and there is a lag, and we'll soon see if more memory helps. Everything works fine, no crashes, etc., but there is in my opinion a noticeable difference in loading time, and various other tasks within the apps take longer. Again, CS2 works just fine, but the performance of CS is much better.

Intel duo Core and CS2 - does it work?
Hi guys,
I'm doing really well. I ordered a 17" imac 1.82Ghz Intel Duo Core and I have not as yet received it.
I have alos ordered Aperture (which will work but possibly quite slow) although I have upgraded to 2Gb Ram.
I have also ordered Photoshop CS2 (full version) and I'm confused. Can I install it? Will it work?
If Aperture is slow and Photoshop CS2 doesn't work what can a amateur photographer use. I'm cheesed off because I ordered an expensive machine and software and before I have even received it I'm seeing that it might not be suitable at all.
Can someone give me some "peace of mind" please.
17" IMAC (1.83Ghz) Intel duo Core / 2GB Ram Mac OS X (10.4.6)Although you can use CS2 with an Intel Mac you should be aware of a significant problem which relates to its installation on them since the last Security update. According to Frank, one of the more senior members of the boards , with a good knowledge of this area:
The CS2 installer will fail if you have applied SU 2006-003 prior to the installation of CS2 on an Intel-based Mac. You will be required to reinstall Tiger, otherwise you will be only able to reboot the machine via a Netboot, CD boot or Safeboot. The Finder is completely locked. It is unknown at this time which extension is causing the issue. Adobe has acknowledged the problem.
One workaround that I am aware of has been suggested on MacFixit:
MacFixIt reader David Warren writes:
"I had the startup freeze like others. For my MacBook Pro the answer was removing the Adobe VersionCueCS2 from /Library/StartupItems.""(from MacFixit - http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=2006051507495116 )
To do this, though, you would need to be happy starting up in the non-standard ways suggested by Frank. I wouldn't normally suggest this for a new Mac user. If you plan on going down this path post back and we can tell you how to.
I guess the real answer is that you will need to know whether the security update has already been installed on your new computer. If it has, then you should wait until Adobe have a fix for the problem before you install Photoshop.
If it hasn't, install Photoshop BEFORE you upgrade with the Security Update, and don't re-install it thereafter until the Adobe fix arrives. You should also remove the relevant startup file, just to be on the safe side.
So whoever warned you about installing it was doing you a favour, and a "simple google search", might have got you into quite a lot of strife!

Sharing hard drive with windows xp on imac intel duo core
Hi,
I was wondering whether I could give over anymore of the hard disk on my imac intel duo core to Windows xp? If so, how would I go about doing that?
Thanks in advanceAt this point I think that you would need to use Boot Camp to remove the current partition and then make a bigger one and reinstall Windows.
Just an idea for you. There is an entire Apple Discussion forum dedicated to Boot Camp and Windows.
The Forum is at the bottom of the main Apple Discussions page under Windows Compatible Technology.

Upgrade to OS 10.4 with SW coming from new Mac Mini (Intel duo core)
Is it possible to upgrade my G4 PowerBook to the latest OS 10.4 and iLife06 with the SW provided and installed on new Mac Mini's with the Intel duo core? That would make purchasing a new Mac Mini a sweeter deal.
No.
The disks that come with new machines are specific to that machine.
You will need Tiger and iLife '06 if you want to upgrade your PowerBook.

My Apple desktop computer, 2.4 GHz Intel duo core, OS 10.6.8, stopped recognizing the WD My Book connected via firewire. It works fine with the USB port so it's not the drive. Help please?
It can be the bridge. It could need firmware update. or the FW ports may be an issue. LaCie seemed to invent the phrase/tip 'resetting firewire ports' due to the issues with their drive cases.
You can try an SMC Reset.
So far I have avoided name-brand and tend to see them mentioned. Often with a new OS (though you are on 10.6.8, but when 10.6 came out there was a common complaint and thread of users: FW or USB worked but not the other interface). -
My MacBook Pro, 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo gives me an error message during Lion install. My Intel Duo Core is not an Intel Duo Core and cannot install Lion. I already have Snow Leopard what is the problem with Lion?
You need a "Core 2 Duo" for lion, and I'm guessing you only have a "Core Duo" My wife's macbook is also a "Core Duo" and has Snow Leapord, but cannot install Lion.....

Has anyone successfully downloaded the plugin for hotmail in mail on the new intel duo core and managed to get it to work?
v grateful for any advice on how to do this. i have installed the plugin but it doesn't seem to be recognised in the options for account set up.
thanks
iMAC intel duo core 17" Mac OS X (10.4.4)I don't believe the httpmail plugin is Universal yet which means it runs/works for the Mail.app on a PowerPC Mac at the present time only.
An Intel Mac includes Rosetta which is a translation process that runs a PowerPC binary on an Intel-based Macintosh computer—it allows applications to run as nonnative binaries.
For the Intel based Mail.app (which should be Universal), try selecting run as a PowerPC binary (which requires Rosetta) using Get Info for the Mail.app application via the Finder.
This should allow the httpmail plugin to work. -
Final Cut Studio 2 on an Intel Duo Core 2 iMac?
Can FCS 2 efficiently run on an Intel Duo Core 2 iMac? Should I invest in a Mac Pro? Thanks for any advice.
On the contrary. I've been using a 20" iMac since June of 2007 and it has performed very well on a number of projects, including an hour-long documentary, a 1 1/2 hour concert, and multiple smaller projects.
That isn't to say that a Mac Pro isn't better. Often times it's the budget that makes people lean towards an iMac. Keep in mind, 540, that an iMac isn't expandable, and that's the thing to consider. You can't add more ram and you can't install a capture card for working with HD footage.
If none of that matters to you, then the iMac will do just fine.

Need details about "Lock Profiling" tab of JRockit JRA
Hi,
I'm experimenting with the JRockit JRA tool: I think this is a very useful tool ! It provides very valuable information.
About locks ("Lock Profiling" tab), since JRockit manages locks in a very sophisticated manneer, it enables to get very important information about which monitors are used by the application, helping for improving the performances.
Nevertheless, the BEA categories (thin/fat, uncontended/contended, recursive, after sleep) are not so clear. A short paper explaining what they mean would greatly help.
Fat contended monitors cost the most, but maybe 10000 thin uncontended locks cost the same as 1 fat contended lock does. We don't know.
So, there is a lack of information about the cost (absolute: in ms, or relative: 1 fat lock costs as N thin locks) of each kind of monitor. This information would dramaticaly help people searching where improvements of lock management are required in their application.
Thanks,
Tonygreat explanation! Thanks

news:18555807.1105611467160.JavaMail.root@jserv5...
About thin, fat, recursive and contended locks in JRockit:
Let's start with the easiest part: recursive locks. A recursive lock
occurs in the following scenario:synchronized(foo) { // first time thread takes lock
synchronized(foo) { // this time, the lock is taken recursively
}The recursive lock taking may also occur in a method call several levels
down - it doesn't matter. Recursive locks are not neccessarily any sign of
bad programming, at least not if the recursive lock taking is done by a
separate method.
The good news is that recursive lock taking in JRockit is extremely fast.
In fact, the cost to take a lock recursively is almost negligable. This is
regardless if the lock was originally taken as a thin or a fat lock
(explained in detail below).
Now let's talk a bit about contention. Contention occurs whenever a thread
tries to take a lock, and that lock is not available (that is, it is held
by another thread). Let me be clear: contention ALWAYS costs in terms of
performance. The exact cost depends on many factors. I'll get to some more
details on the costs later on.
So if performance is an issue, you should strive to avoid contention.
Unfortunately, in many cases it is not possible to avoid contention -- if
you're application requires several threads to access a single, shared
resource at the same time, contention is unavoidable. Some designs are
better than others, though. Be careful that you don't overuse
synchronized-blocks. Minimize the code that has to be run while holding a
highly-contended lock. Don't use a single lock to protect unrelated
resources, if that lock proves to be easily contended.
In principle, that is all you can do as an application developer: design
your program to avoid contention, if possible. There are some experimental
flags to change some of the JRockit locking behaviour, but I strongly
discourage anyone from using these. The default values is carefully
trimmed, and changing this is likely to result in worse, rather than
better, performance.
Still, I understand if you're curious to what JRockit is doing with your
application. I'll give some more details about the locking strategies in
JRockit.
All objects in Java are potential locks (monitors). This potential is
realized as an actual lock as soon as any thread enters a synchronized
block on that object. When a lock is "born" in this way, it is a kind of
lock that is known as a "thin lock". A thin lock has the following
characteristics:
* It requires no extra memory -- all information about the lock is stored
in the object itself.
* It is fast to take.
* Other threads that try to take the lock cannot register themselves as
contending.
The most costly part of taking a thin lock is a CAS (compare-and-swap)
operation. It's an atomic instruction, which means as far as CPU
instructions goes, it is dead slow. Compared to other parts of locking
(contention in general, and taking fat locks in specific), it is still
very fast.
For locks that are mostly uncontended, thin locks are great. There is
little overhead compared to no locking, which is good since a lot of Java
code (especially in the class library) use lot of synchronization.
However, as soon as a lock becomes contended, the situation is not longer
as obvious as to what is most efficient. If a lock is held for just a very
short moment of time, and JRockit is running on a multi-CPU (SMP) machine,
the best strategy is to "spin-lock". This means, that the thread that
wants the lock continuously checks if the lock is still taken, "spinning"
in a tight loop. This of course means some performance loss: no actual
user code is running, and the CPU is "wasting" time that could have been
spent on other threads. Still, if the lock is released by the other
threads after just a few cycles in the spin loop, this method is
preferable. This is what's meant by a "contended thin lock".
If the lock is not going to be released very fast, using this method on
contention would lead to bad performance. In that case, the lock is
"inflated" to a "fat lock". A fat lock has the following characteristics:
* It requeries a little extra memory, in terms of a separate list of
threads wanting to acquire the lock.
* It is relatively slow to take.
* One (or more) threads can register as queueing for (blocking on) that
lock.
A thread that encounters contention on a fat lock register itself as
blocking on that lock, and goes to sleep. This means giving up the rest of
its time quantum given to it by the OS. While this means that the CPU will
be used for running real user code on another thread, the extra context
switch is still expensive, compared to spin locking. When a thread does
this, we have a "contended fat lock".
When the last contending thread releases a fat lock, the lock normally
remains fat. Taking a fat lock, even without contention, is more expensive
than taking a fat lock (but less expensive than converting a thin lock to
a fat lock). If JRockit believes that the lock would benefit from being
thin (basically, if the contention was pure "bad luck" and the lock
normally is uncontended), it might "deflate" it to a thin lock again.
A special note regarding locks: if wait/notify/notifyAll is called on a
lock, it will automatically inflate to a fat lock. A good advice (not only
for this reason) is therefore not to mix "actual" locking with this kind
of notification on a single object.
JRockit uses a complex set of heuristics to determine amongst other
things:
* When to spin-lock on a thin lock (and how long), and when to inflate it
to a fat lock on contention.
* If and when to deflate a fat lock back to a thin lock.
* If and when to skip on the fairness on a contended fat lock to improve
performance.
These heuristics are dynamically adaptive, which means that they will
automatically change to what's best suited for the actual application that
is being run.
Since the switch beteen thin and fat locks are done automatically by
JRockit to the kind of lock that maximizes performance of the application,
the relative difference in performance between thin and fat locks
shouldn't really be of any concern to the user. It is impossible to give a
general answer to this question anyhow, since it differs from system to
system, depending on how many CPU:s you have, what kind of CPU:s, the
performance on other parts of the system (memory, cache, etc) and similar
factors. In addition to this, it is also very hard to give a good answer
to the question even for a specific system. Especially tricky is it to
determine with any accuracy the time spent spinning on contended thin
locks, since JRockit loops just a few machine instuctions a few times
before giving up, and profiling of this is likely to heavily influence the
time, giving a skewed image of the performance.
To summarize:
If you're concerned about performance, and can change your program to
avoid contention on a lock - then do so. If you can't avoid contention,
try to keep the code needed to run contended to a minimum. JRockit will
then do whatever is in its power to run your progam as fast as possible.
Use the lock information provided by JRA as a hint: fat locks are likely
to have been contended much or for a long time. Put your effort on
minimizing contention on them. -

This is working fine. But I could not understand what are these values "AK" and "FWK_TBX_T_EMP_CREATE_CONFIRM". Do we need to configure these any where in the code?
