HP DV6 6016/6017 TX recommended for gaming ?

dear everyone,
could you please suggest whether i should go for HP DV6 6016/ 6017 Tx for gaming.
I wanna play
Call of duty Black ops
Dirt 2
NFS Hot pursuit Shift
ETC

KB, welcome to the forum.
I have never used a laptop for gaming. However, from reading the specs of both laptops and reviewing videos of different games being played with each video card, I personally would choose the dv6017tx. The 6016 has a faster appearing CPU, however, it has less Cache. I am not certain that you will be able to play COD on the highest video settings. Also, be certain to do all you can to keep it cool. Laptops can get very hot when gaming,

Router recommendation for PS3 (UK)

Hey, was wondering if somone could recommend a decent router to use for online gaming. Currently I have the BT HomeHub 2.0 Type A which is pretty poor, the connection constantly drops when playing online and I'm kicked from the server. I've looked on other forums and people have the same issues and to resolve it they've had to either try to get a Type B router (which BT are not wanting to give me, I've tried) or they have purchased a new router.
I'm only looking for something that'll be quick, reliable and hopefully not have me kicked from the games so much.

Who is your Internet Service Provider ?
If it is ADSL then you can use Linksys WAG54G2, WAG160N,WAG120N,WAG300N .
If its normal Cable or DSL Internet Service Provider then any Linksys router will work .

Connecting my blu ray player to FiOS router/modem for Netflix streaming

With the proper connections, my Blu ray player can stream films from Netflix. How do I go about connecting my Blu ray player to the FiOS equipment? Has Verizon provided me with both a wireless router and modem? Is the Verizon wireless router already connected to a modem with a LAN cable?

PRE 9 - Photos - recommendation for pixel and resolution setting

I would like to integrate photos in between video segments, as well as on the actual video. Before bringing these photos into PRE 9, what should I resize the photos to (pixels and resolution). I will be using Premiere Elements to resize the photos. I'm burning a HD DVD at 1920x1080 pixels.
Thank you.

I agree with Neale. Scaling the images in PS/PSE, to just the pixel x pixel dimensions that you need will do two things for you: get you the best quality, and eliminate excess overhead, when pushing a bunch of unused pixels around. This ARTICLE will give you more. Note: it was started, before HD took over the market, so just read all of the 720 x 480 dimensions as 1920 x 1080 (in your case). I went on to add comments on HD, but some get confused, when they see the 720 x 480 in the beginning.
Good luck,
Hunt

Pre-sales technical question for a HA MARS setup

My knowledge of MARS is very limited. I am considering buying two Cisco Security MARS 25 (CS-MARS-25-K9) units.
This is to allow each system to be installed in different data centers, same geographical location.
This will be in an active/standby configuration.
Is it correct that the license is cheaper for this type of setup ? Can anyone confirm this ?

Kenneth;
CS-MARS does not have a concept of active/standby (high availability) operation - there is no data synchornization between the two units. You can have two active CS-MARS with all reporting devices reporting to both. However, when either/both of the two systems is unreachable it will not receive any events during that time and in turn not generate any incidents. The 'standby' unit is used to restore archived data for 'offline' analysis.
Each CS-MARS will require its own license key.
You can reference the 'standby' operational process here:

Pre sales/Sales/Support

Hi all,
I am in very need of your inputs
I have to take a certification among Sales/Pre sales/Support.
For Pre sales we have "BI EE Presales"," Oracle BI Applications" and "Performance Management (PM) Apps Presales Champion " options. All these options are also avaliable for Sales with Presales being replaced by Sales in the course name. For Support "General Support Consultant " and "Hyperion Support Consultant " are avaialble. Could anyone of you pls pls throw some light on what exactly does the Pre sales/Sales/Support mean in this context? I need your response very badly.
Thanks in advance.
Edited by: user10682075 on May 14, 2009 3:57 AM

Yuo haven't given us a link to see what actually the titles are? A snippet picked can have a very different meaning when combined with the entire thing. Are these courses offered from Oracle? I guess Sales and Support should be clear. Pre Sales , AFAIK , are the guys whose job is to go and "break the ice" before the actual sales people can go and fix the deal while negotiating the price. Pre sales guys are sent to go and tell/show why one should buy the product that they are trying to sell throwing away the product that they are already using. So their job is not jst to go and say, hey use oracle , its damn good but to go and show, hey you are using XYZ dabatabase, let me tell you why Oracle db is better than this technically! So the presales guys are highly technical guys , yet they work as a sales team/guys.
Hope that would make some things clear. If it didn't, as I mentioned , post the link page where these titles are mentioned. May be looking at that someone would be ableto give a better answser.

Acessing Video Chat via AIM on I-Chat - Belkin Pre-N Router

Hi, has anyone been able to get iChat video via AIM to work with this router? Some posts were claiming iChat would not work at all with the PRe-N router *becuase of MIMO technology) but that is not the case for me. I am able to use iChat text chatting on AIM with no dofficulty at all , however, when I try to initiate a video chat and the other party accepts (or vice versa) , it does not work and offers to send a message to Apple tech Support.
If anyones knows of any tricks to get the Belkin Pre-N router working for video IChats, please let me know. Apparently there are some port settings that need to be tweaked. Although I hardly use the Video feature of iChat, I would still like to try to get it to work. I like this router becuase of the extended range I get in the house compared to my previous router.
Much appreciated!!

Firstly, try disabling the firewall for both your Mac and router. Te router firewall is the usual culprit. Failing that, and turning them both back on, try moving your Mac into the router's DMZ. It's possible that the router's NAT isn't working so well and is, for instance, dropping UDP traffic.

Inquiry - Best Linksys/Cisco router for Gaming and Media Streaming?

Help! I live in a two bedroom town home and have an old little Belkin router. I'm switching to a Linksys but I need to know which model is best for my home. I have two sons that share a room and they both play XBox live, usually at the same time. I'm usually using the internet or watching a movie on Netflix with my wife. Sometime both while the boys are playing upstairs. I don't need multiple USB ports or gigabit ports. I wouldn't know what to do with them. I just want something faster than what I have now. We have Time Warner Cable's Roadrunner internet service if that helps.

I would recommend EA4500 as it is a high performance router for home entertainment which is ideal for faster streaming of HD video and music plus multiplayer gaming.

Searching for the right wireless router -- Recommendations?

Hi, I'm hoping that my newbie status to the mac world won't effect the relevance of my questions but be rest assured, i have converted from pc to mac. Thank you Apple! Anyway, with introductions out of the way I'm extremely eager to find out what wireless router is best for the MacBook Pro. After being an annonymous surfer of these boards for the last few months since the MBP release I've been unable to find conclusive recommendations of what works and what doesn't. I've taken into effect that there are a lot of factors that go into setting up a wireless network (being this will be my first) and I just want everything to work without the hassle of buying several different routers before finally being satisfied. So here are the factors that are effecting my decision:
- I'm going to be living in a apartment. (no concrete walls)
- I'm going to be using a Comcast standard Motorola Surfboard 5120 Cable Modem. (unless the router comes built with a modem)
- I'd like to be able to hook up a wired device as well as use wireless devices with the router so having multiple ports is important. (wan/lan compatible)
- I'd like the router to have as much security as possible without effecting my surfing, gaming, and streaming.
- I'd really like the router to be somewhat Tech-Friendly so I don't have to go through hours of support services and web digging to get to the bottom of any problems that may come up.
Ok so with that all said, what are your suggestions?
MacBook Pro 2.16 Ghz 2 with 2 Gig Ram Mac OS X (10.4.7)

UrbanOne,
I have no idea what some posters are talking about
when they mention "networking issues." Really, I
don't.
I have never had any trouble with Airport/wireless
with any of my Macs, regardless of model. This
includes my current MBP. It hasn't dropped a
connection once. It hasn't had difficulty connecting
to my network. To this point, it has been perfect.
Period.
Given that I do not have any problems (and never
have), there's not much more I can say about some of
the things that have been posted (feel free to read
between the lines, here). So, I will just go on to
my recommendations...
I recently replaced an older router (Belkin) with a
Linksys WRT54G. I have been very impressed
with this router. It has top-notch security
features, and these features are very easy to enable
and use via the router's web interface. All of the
router's other features (many) are easily accessible,
easy to find and control using the well designed
interface. It doesn't take an IT pro to figure out
how and what to do with the router.
I am quite happy with the signal, the range, and the
robustness of this router. I can go outside my
house, and still get full-speed transfers/downloads
all the way down to the point where I no longer get
any signal indicated by the Airport icon.
When I walk closer to the house, the signal picks
right back up, and so does my bandwidth.
I also have an Airport Express, and I love it, too.
It is only used either for printing or Airtunes, and
as such it only joins my existing network. When I
have used it to create its own network in the past,
it has worked very well.
We have a printer upstairs; when we want to print to
it, the tower upstairs acts as a server. Someone
will go upstairs and wake the tower up, and it
immediately becomes available. We have a laser
printer downstairs. The AE is sometimes in the
living room, connected to the stereo for Airtunes.
If this is the case, we need only unplug it, move it
to the printer, connect it and plug it in. When it
has booted, we can print to the laser printer. When
we need to transfer some files, someone will turn on
sharing, and someone else will connect. Simple.
What I'm trying to illustrate is that the WRT54G
simply works, no matter what we are doing, and
we don't have to jump through hoops to make it work.
As far as speed, what do you need? Any 802.11G
router, Airport or otherwise, will provide more
bandwidth than your internet connection. The only
advantage an "n" or "pre-n" router will bring is
faster network transfers. Your internet
connection will not be affected. Unless you are
constantly making large network transfers, 802.11G
will provide everything you need, for a lot less.
BTW, the WRT54G that I recommend can be had for
under $50.

This has been the most useful reply I have recieved yet, I will definitely take that model into consideration. I really hope that setting this model up will be as simple as you say it is.

Trying to set up AV server on mini late 2012. Will upgrade to Yosemite tomorrow. Home Internewt is ATT Sierra mobile hotspot only. So I think I need a wifi router that will tether the hotspot as sole internet source. Recommendation for system set

My system: Mac Mini late 2012 w/ 1 TB disk and *GB memory (for AV server), iPad air 2 w/ 64 GB, iPad, iPad 2, iPhone 6, iPhone 4, Macbook running Yosemite, older Macboo w/ 2GB memory & 160 GB hard drive, 1 TB back up drive, WiFi Printer
Internet: Wireless hotspot ATT 4G LTE limited to 5 GB/mo (no cable or DSL available. Router to be determined
AV equip: Vizio smart TV (WiFi capable & network cable), high end analog audio, DAC, Samsung TV/display w/ HDMI.
Looking for a router recommendation that will utilize my ATT device and stream music (and of course less demanding DATA)
What is/are recommended connection(s) between devices? Hardwire Mini to main TV w/ HDMI, network or USB? Help?

Another way to set things up, use an Apple Airport Extreme Basestation.
My system setup has a cable modem directly connected to the AEBS.
The AEBS is then setup to do all of the network management, I use
both hardwired and WiFi access via the AEBS. It also has a USB port
that you can use for attaching HDDs for common data access and even
Time Machine backups.
FWIW, here's my system:
2011 MiniServer used as HTPC - hardwired ethernet to AEBS
2010 Mini used as server - hardwired ethernet to AEBS
(these are hardwired simply because of proximity to AEBS but could be WIFi connected)
Late 2013 27" iMac workstation- hardwired or WIFi depending on needs
Early 2011 Macbook Pro - WiFi connected
iPhone 5S - WiFi connected as needed
The 2010 Mini Server I use as my "iTunes hub" set up with Home Sharing and
by running Server on it, have Apple download caching of both Mac and iOS
apps, Time Machine backups and general backups for various content from
the different computers.

Need to set up password for airport express with belkin pre-N router

I can't figure out how to set up a WEP password for my wireless network at home. I tried setting it up using the AirPort Admin Utility, but no base station appeared on the menu. I'm using a Belkin Pre-N router. Any recommendations out there?

The AirPort Admin Utility is ONLY for use with Apple's base stations.
You will need to follow the directions in the Belkin's User Guide about using a web browser to change the configuration of the router and enable wireless encryption. If all of your equipment supports WPA, use WPA (with a non-dictionary password) instead of WEP.

Hi
1. Copare the Routes which are Automatically determined and which are not automatically determined
2. Have you mainted this route to be RELEVANT FOR TRANSPORTATION without this check route will not get picked up.
SPRO > Logistic General > Shipping > Basic Shipping Function > Routes > Define Routes > Define Routes and stages > Select the Route and check for it's settings > CHECK MARK Relevant for Transport. Without this check the route will not get picked up as of my understanding.
Thanks

What is the best Router for Gaming?

Alright, at the moment I have a "G" wireless router, which I bought it for pure gaming reasons, well I am thinking about upgrading 'cause I am having some lag and poor connections and I want to enhance my connection for online play. I won't lie I am a addicted hardcore gamer, so I need a good router! ^_^
Well I been looking at this WRT330N , which this one interests me a lot!
http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Product_C2&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1166859632665&...
I know it's about $200 but I am willing to spend the money if it's worth it! If anyone can share anything about this router or a cheaper and better router please do so!

I started shopping for a wired router to handle a claimed higher speed from my cable provider. I want something that runs at full incoming wire speed. I did not think I would care a lot about special gaming features. One of the techs at work uses the GamerLounge which is made by D-Link and he loves it for gaming. It runs a little over $100. It has a number of features to help automate the setup for gaming and to help debug gaming connection problems. I do not know if Linksys makes anything that is specifically targetted at gaming. You might want to read the various hardware reviews and decide which features you think will be important to you. Linksys has product documentation that describes the products but you will have to understand the terms used in the brochures to decide which device might be best for you. I have a Linksys for wireless support and it is rather slow compared to a wired connection because I run encrypted. If you want to run games on wireless, then published benchmark results may be the number one item on your list. Some routers may have much faster wireless performance than others. Cost will probably be a factor but more expensive does not always mean better. I have a WRT54G V5 and Tom's Hardware has a review discussing some of the serious limitations in V5. I stopped using it as a main router and went back to an old 10 Mbps wired router connected to the cable modem to get better performance. The WRT54G V5 sort of works when used as a wireless access point but Windows file and printer sharing do not work. So ... it all depends on which features are most important to you. Absolute best case is to talk with a friend who has a working setup that they like. Then you can decide if their priorities for choosing features match your priorities.
