Performance Question Pls help me

I'm running 2 stcks of 128mb and 1.3ghz tbird on my k7n420 pro. My question is should I buy another stick of 256 memory or step up to a xp processor. Which purchase would offer more bang for the buck. Also i'm using onboard everything.

the xp is not inefficient, but when doing SOME benchmarks it will show the trade off for having hardware data pre-fetch.  the athlon is a well designed processor.
http://www.aceshardware.com/read.jsp?id=45000225
also taken from ace's hardware from the nforce review:
 "First of all, the hardware prefetch of the Athlon XP seems to decrease the bandwidth that STREAM measures. In other words, it confirms that a bit of bandwidth is traded for less latency. The nForce numbers are surprising to say the least. The 64 bit nForce beats the KT266A by 20%, which means that the nForce memory controller doing very well! In fact, the Twinbank memory architecture is not really boosting the bandwidth much: it adds another 9%. "

    I cant find the reset your security question pls help me

    If you mean that you're aren't getting the reset link as described in the steps half-way down this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312, then that will only show if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account.
    If you aren't getting the link then you don't have a rescue email address, and you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions - you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.

    Hi I wanted to ask a question, pls do reply to help me out.
    Can I include a method call to another class, within the same transaction, that performs a
    database statement or must the actual select statement appear within the

    Please elaborate. I believe the answer is yes, but it's not entirely clear what you mean.

  • MSI-6585 (648 MAX) instant restart issues questions pls help......

    Hi, i figured after months of specualation i would try to figure out what the hell is wrong with my pc.  12months ago a bought a MS-6585 648 MAX mobo and a P4 2.53ghz with 2x Samsung DDR 333 (PC2700) ram.  I play many games on my pc it seems when playing Counter-Strike + PlanetSide results in random instant restarts.  Occasionaly it will just hang the system but mainly instant reset of the system.  My cpu temp ranges from 35 48 max approx.  
    I've tried switching my ram to different slots and so on refit everything but with no luck.  I just have a very unreliable computer atm.  I've reformated plenty of times but with no joy, the odd thing is its random somtimes my pc will not crash or reset it self so this makes it very difficult to figure out what the hell is going on :S
    If you have more questions perhaps i can answer them - and give you more info that i have forgotten.
    Here are somethings that might be useful:
    MS-6585 648 MAX mobo
    Pentium 4 (northwood) 2,53ghz 533
    Samsung DDR 333 (PC2700)
    Gigabyte Maya II Radeon 9700Pro (running in agp 8x)
    Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum
    Bios settings: (things ive changed)
    Turned onboard sound off than auto
    AGP Apeture size  128
    I have 32bit transfer mode running for hdds
    I have S.M.A.R.T. enabled
    (next week end i will have another 512 ram stick to try just incase its my ram but i have done the intel ram checker and it didn't find any problems)
    Any help would be greatly appreciated pls ask any things ive missed and anything else u would need to know.  I really want to sort this out as you can imagine its not very nice having a pc that can randomly crash when u do not expect it.

    Overclocking is typically limited by one of 3 factors, assuming you have sufficient power:
    1. Memory won't operate past a certain speed, so you run at a different ratio or buy faster memory.
    2. Temperature, so you need to add non-stock cooling or better case ventilation or water cooling, depending on how far you want to go
    3. CPU - At some point the CPU won't run any faster.
    Leave the CPU voltage at Auto. You should only need to raise it if you get into extreme overclocking.
    As for the size of the power supply, if you stay with Intel Northwood with an ATX board on your next upgrade, an Enermax 465, Antec 480, or something similar (should cost around $80-100US) would get good choices. If you plan on going with a Prescott on an ATX board, I would look at going to a 550W supply.
    Personally, I thing the next 12 months is shaping up to be a real headache in making upgrade decisions in the Intel world. Intel have indicated their next generation of boards will be BTX without AGP support. This looks like an upgrade could mean new case, possibly power supply, video card and possibly ram. I am hoping that companies like MSI will produce a transitional product that allows new processors and chip sets on an atx board. If that doesn't happen I see a lot of people switching to AMD.

    b) how to create Customer specific infotype, , please explain with any example with which are the fields you have created

    Thanks and Regards
    j) Define Benefit area

    You can do as suggested already and use interface nodes and cross component mapping; but that is all really not necessary.  It creates a situation where you calling application is too dependent upon the freely programmed input help.  You want to try to avoid the situation where the calling application needs code or mappings to communicate with the input help.
    That is easy to do because the framework passes all the information you need into the freely programmed input help via the value_help_listener object. 
    Part of the Freeley Programmed Input Help Component should be the component interface IWD_VALUE_HELP.  This comes with a component controller method called SET_VALUE_HELP_LISTENER.  This allows your freely programmed value help to capture this object called listener of type IF_WD_VALUE_HELP_LISTENER. I generally just store it awa into a component controller attribute.
    With this listerner object you have direct access to the context attribute in the calling component. You can query information about the calling UI element and of course set values directly back into it.  The listener is a hugely helpful object and should be the way you interact with the calling component whenever possible.  Here is small example:
      set single attribute
      wd_this->value_help_listener->f4_context_element->set_attribute(
      exporting
        name = wd_this->value_help_listener->f4_attribute_info-name
        value = l_time

  • BATABASE LINK QUESTION PLS HELP ME

    Hi Every Body,
    Someone can help me?
    I have created one data base link and I would like to know what 's the difference en performance point of view between these 2 queries :
    select * from MYBASE.MY_TABLE@MY_DBLINK; -- MY_DBLINK on MYBASE1and
    select * from MYBASE1.MY_TABLE FOR UPDATE;
    thank you very Much,
    Regards,

    The first command
    select * from MYSCHEMA.MY_TABLE@MY_DBLINK;
    simply reads the data from the required table. Therefore the performance of the query will depend on the size of the table (number of rows), how fast it can be read (buffer cache etc) and then how long it takes the data to be transmitted over the network.
    The second command (local to the DB)
    select * from MYSHEMA.MY_TABLE FOR UPDATE
    is trying to lock every row in the table therefore may take significant time to run as it will wait for any row locked by another user to be freed before proceeding. Once complete the every row in the table will be locked by the user issuing the command.
    Therefore the two commands are not the same and performance is impossible to guage as there are too many factors.
    Hope this helps

  • Firewall question -pls help

    okay - so i was reading about system profiler today and opened it and clicked down through the various catogories then I come to Firewall- and it reads
    "Firewall Settings:
    Mode: Allow all incoming connections"
    Now this rings alarm bells - I thought my firewall was on. I go to system preferences and look in Internet& Network> Sharing as this is where (in previous operating systems) I remembered the firewall was set - except it isn't anymore. All the sharing boxes are unticked. I go into security and there is Firewall. "allow all incoming connections" is ticked.
    1) This is presumambly where i turn the firewall on or off, right?
    2) Allow Only Essential services? What does this mean - the firewall is on? what constitutes an essential service?
    3) Hypothetically could my computers privacy been compromised?
    4) Has my firewall potentially been like off since i upgraded to leopard?
    Am feeling a bit stupid right now. Any help graciously accepted!

    No such thing as stupid questions...
    -This will take you trough the basic settings done on a mac to secure it:
    In System preferences go to Security > Firewall, the default setting is "Allow all incoming", this does not compromise your privacy, only that Mac OS X will decide what it needs. I´d go for "allow only essential services" then press "Advanced", from the drop down choose "Enable Firewall Logging" and "Enable Stealth Mode".
    In the Sharing pane make sure no boxes are checked.
    Thats the basics, if you wanna secure your mac in such a way that it would make Fort Knox look like a 7/11 go here for further tips :

    I think yawmark is in broken-record mode today. Not just today. I keep a fairly large file of
    cut-n-paste responses accumulated while addressing
    the same issues over and over and over.... I'm not at work today, so I have a lot of time to hang out here (too cold to do anything outside), and that particular response about spelling things out just seemed to pop up a lot today (no doubt caused by the posters who popped up today). A file of cut-and-paste responses is definitely a handy thing to have around here...I don't have such a file myself...I only just started here a couple of months ago, but the questions do indeed get repetitive! My cell phone only receives SMS messages--it doesn't have the capability to send them--so I don't write any SMS messages. Even if I did, I can't imagine why people think it is okay to abbreviate everything here into SMS-speak.
    yawmark, good luck on your test! Thanks!!!You're welcome!

  • Ci question, pls help

    hi experts,
    I am relatively new to the pplsoft and trying to understand the concepts.
    I am not able to comprehend the concepts of Component Interface.
    I have one question, if the CI i created contains 5 records but I want to use the CI to insert data into just 1 of the 5 records. how do i achieve this and what should i comment in the CI pplcode(that is generated by drag and drop of CI) to prevent inserts to other 4 records or is it that it will always insert the default rows in all records. and also how do i know which code belongs to record 1, the CI code looks very complex and I am not able to understand the error log code etc.
    Can someone please clarify my doubts and explain to me a CI in simple manner. this will be great help to me.
    thanks in advance,
    ..Dan

    Your Question is not specific...anyways follow these basic steps and try it out.
    First Supply GET keys for your Component interface..The Get Keys should return a unique record i.e it should pick up like a unique employee...
    Get Keys are like Search Keys which you provide on the search page of a component.
    Provide Get keys like this
    &CI.Emplid="Some emplid"
    &CI.Company='Some Company"
    and call
    &CI.GET()
    I guess your five records are on a Scroll...so get the collection of that scroll...Collection is like the set of all records which the employee has on the scroll...
    &oCollection = &CI.RECORD_NAME
    you can loop thorugh the collection starting from first record...as scroll is a collection of records there will be a record name which for that scroll
    For &i=1 to &oCollection.count
    /*Loop through each record in the scroll...as record have key values check whether the key values match the values you want and change the record you want*/
    To acess a spefic row in the collection
    &oRow = &oCollection.Item(&i);
    to access specific field in the row
    &emplid=&oRow.emplid
    &field_value=&oRow.amount (amount is the field in that row technically called as property)
    to set a value for that field.
    if &emplid=&your_emplid then
    if &field_value>100 then
    &oRow.amount .value=&your_value
    end-if
    end-if
    end-for
    and do &Ci.save() finally to save the component Interface.
    this is the basic of how to access a CI and follow Component Interface Peoplebook for more info.
    Thanks.

  • Hard Drive Question pls help

    Okay my situation I am getting a MacBook for my graduation gift and im doing my research and I am customizing my MacBook through
    http://www.colorwarepc.com/
    and they offer a 160Gb Serial ATA hard drive rpm of 7200
    but on the online store apple only offers hard drives at the 5400 rpm
    now obviously rpm of 7200 is better and I don't mind forking the extra cash out for it either
    now my questions
    Why doesn't Apple offer hard drives at the 7200 rpm rate?
    If I purchase a MacBook through Colorwarepc will the original Mac warrenty still excist?
    And will the hard drive be a Apple made product, now I checked to see the make of the Hard drive on the Apple website and colorware website both are said to be Serial ATA... now I don't know if that is the maker or just some jargon
    please help me
    Thank you
    Looking    

    There is no 7200 RPM 160 GB notebook hard drive. The fastest at that size is 5400 RPM. I think the drive you must be looking at is a full size drive for desktops. Notebook hard drives are mostly 5400 RPM although there are less expensive models that run at 4200 RPM. Only Seagate and Hitachi make a 7200 RPM notebook drive in a 100 GB capacity. The new 160 and 200 GB notebook drives are 5400 RPM. They are also pretty expensive.
    Apple does not make hard drives. The hard drives in Apple computers come from different manufacturers. Seagate, Toshiba, Hitachi, and Fujitsu are the main suppliers.
    Serial ATA is a type of interface not a drive maker. Intel Macs all use SATA drives.
    As far as warranty is concerned the warranty is good as long as the retailer is an authorized Apple retailer and the computers they are selling are not gray market. Personally I know nothing about the company.
    If you are a college student (currently enrolled) or your parents are elementary, secondary, or university faculty or staff you can purchase Apple products directly from Apple at an academic discount.

  • Another iTunes upgrade question - Pls Help!!

    Hi,
    Like so many others i too am having problems with the latest update of iTunes. I installed it - no problems. BUT when i went to run it, it wouldn't open. I read in some other threads that i should try and turn off my firewall protection (norton) which i did. When the firewall is off iTunes opens. However when i go to turn the firewall back on - iTunes doesn't open again. And when i try to 'configure' the firewall it freezes.
    I'm getting increasingly frustrated and would really appreciate some help.
    I use Windows XP and Norton anti-virus, internet security and firewall.
    Any help at all would be great. Thanks
    dell   Windows XP  

    I'm so glad I'm not the only one with this problem. I had the exact problem. My iTune had been working perfectly until I upgraded to 6.0. Now my iTune won't open and every time I try to open up my Norton Internet Security, my computer freezes. Also, whenever I try to shut down my computer, it also freezes. I was up all night trying to fix the problem and it drove me nuts!! Finally, I thought maybe my computer was infected with virus, so my friend, who is a computer technician, took it and he is cleaning it up. After reading the posted messages, I'm so glad that I'm not the only person with this problem. I think Apple needs to come up with a solution quick, otherwise, there are going to be a lot of angry people out there. When I get my computer back, I may try to get McAfee instead of Norton. Have you read the other postings and try some of their suggestions, ie msconfig?
