Question on processors?

Hi all,
New to Mac -
Is the new macbook pro 13 inch **i5 processor** (lower priced model) faster than the last models 2.66 duo core (higher end)?
Thanks for all your help.

Yes.

Question about Processors???

Hi there
This is just a question on the posibilities first!
We have EHP3 here and using EIC. We have HR Queries going to a certain Org Unit within EIC and anyone under that Org Unit can process, but once the Web Request is converted to an Activity, saved and Ended, then anyone who is in that Org Unit should still be able to process, but we are getting a message about not being able to process. We would like anyone in HR to be able to process any EIC, even though its assigned to a specific Processor? Any ideas on this one?
Gary

Hi Ravi
Thanks for that.... I got the data wrong... Try this again
Our example Org Unit
80000300 HR
80006084 HR Operations
80006085 HR Operations Team 1
All our EIC queries come into OU 80000300 and anyone in that org unit and below (80006084 and 80006085) can process. For example an EE in 80006085 takes the activity and becomes the processor. Now anyone in 80006084 and 80000300 needs to take that activity and become the processor. They get this message " Info: You can only create notes or add contacts for this activity"
I hope this makes better sense.
The EIC profile is assigned to all org units, as the inbound / outbound emails are be different.
In OOSB, they are not assigned to a struc auth (in QA or DEV) but are in PROD. HR Claim they used to be able to do this, but Im not sure how
Any help on this would be great....

Question about processor switch

Hello,
I just got my new 21.5 imac and I was wondering if anyone has changed processors before? I know, I know....this will void my warranty and all that good stuff, but its just a question. I see that the 21.5 inch uses the LGA 775 Socket T. In theory, this machine would support up to a Core 2 Quad Q9400. Am I correct to assume this? Thanks for the help.

Even if it works "in theory," the heat dissipation design may not be sufficient to handle the additional heat. And there may be additional power draw that is not accounted for in the design. I wouldn't "assume" it will work, just because the sockets are the same.

Question about processor

I'm using a BB8330 with the OS4.5 and trying to use a remote access program. I need to download a module from the program developer and when the download starts I have a message on the BB that says "A Windows Pocket PC 2003 or newer device with an ARM processor is required." Can anyone tell me if the 8330 meets these standards. I couldn't find anything in the specs.
Solved!

Question about processor vs RAM in 2011 13 MBP

I am looking at upgrading my older Macbook to a new 13" MBP. I was going to get a 13" Macbook Air until I realized they did not have an ethernet port. I am contemplating between the 2.3 i5 with 8 gig of RAM and the 2.7 i7 with 4 gig. What do you guys think would be a better setup for system performance. I mainly just do normal tasks like web browsing and some programming.
Thanks

Hi There. I just purchased the 2.7 Ghz this past Thursday, with the 4 GB RAM. I am loving it, and have had no performance issues, even when running iTunes, Mail, iChat, Safari and Aperture all at once. I think you'll be more than ok with 4GB based on your usage.
Also, you can easily add more RAM after the purchasing the machine if 4GB turns out to be too little. You can't change the processor though. That being said, that's why I went with the 2.7.

Question about processor speed

Ok. I used to have an iBook G4 1.2 Ghz. I am considering getting one off of ebay with a 1.07 Ghz processor...if I had 768 RAM last time and had it with the one i am considering buying, would there big a noticeable difference in speed or performance?

Obviously there will be a difference. I'm only basing my judgement on the fact that I own a 1.33Ghz iBook and having used a 1.42Ghz iBook, the only way I'd probably notice any real speed difference was if I ran them side by side. If you're running with 768Mb of RAM, I think the computer will (in your mind) run [virtually] identically.

Oracle Licensing Question on Processors - Oracle 10g Standard Edtion One

We are a small finance company and wanted to buy Oracle database 10g Standard Edition One licenses.
We wanted to get a 15 users licenses(perpetual licenses)
Now when it comes to the server hardware where we will be installing the Oracle database, do we need
to make sure we have only 1 (or) 2 processors ?
Is there document which will tell me as what kind of processors or any limitations on the processors speed
I need to have on the Oracle database server ?

Hi,
did you have a look at:
https://shop.oracle.com/pls/ostore/wwv_flow_item_help.show_help?p_item_id=4777527003091012
? As far as I can see licensing 15 users on a 1-2 socket server should not be an issue. If you would have a bit more users you could consider a socket license (5800.- US$ / socket).
With Standard Edition One or with named users licensing you do not have to worry about the technical figures of your CPU. This is only needed when you license Enterprise Edition (EE) based on processor metric because then cores and processor type are used to calculate the amount of processor licenses.
Hope this helps.

Question about Processors, Operating Systems and TFLOPS

Hi guys, I recently read an article about the power of the PS3 consoles. This is a table that I copied from it, which I don't really undestand. All I can see is that the Mac OSX shows the least number of TFLOPs for both PowerPC and Intel architectures. That doesn't seem to be good. If there's anyone out there who can translate the details into "basic language" I would appreciate it.
OS Type------------Current TFLOPS----Active CPUs---Total CPUs
Windows------------152--------------159564------1625622
Mac OS X/PowerPC------7----------------8737--------95371
Mac OS X/Intel---------9----------------2756----------7272
Linux----------------43---------------25126-------215901
GPU-----------------42-----------------708----------2199
PLAYSTATION®3-----516---------------21062---------22299
==============================================
Total----------------769--------------217953-------1968664
If you are further interested, or the table became unreadable, or both, this is the link to the original article.
Thank you very much in advance.

Yes, you are misinterpreting the data.
What you're looking at is the workload on some distributed computing task like folding@home, right?
What it's telling you is that at the time you checked, Windows computers were contributing 152 TFLOPs (trillions of operations per second), PowerPC-based Macs contributed 7, Intel-based Macs added 9, and 516 from the PS3.
However, you also need to take into account the number of active machines.
Those 152 Windows TFLOPS were the combined output of 159,564 CPUs, for an average of 0.0009525958 TFLOPS/CPU.
By comparison, the 7 PowerPC TFLOPS were from 8737 CPUs, or 0..0008011903 TFLOPS/CPU - not all that much different and statistically insignificant.
The Intel Macs' 9 TFLOPS from 2756 CPUs equates to 0.0032656023 TFLOPS/CPU - significantly higher than either of the other two results.
The PS3 on the other hand contributes 516 TFLOPS from 21062 CPUs, for 0.0244990979 TFLOPS/CPU - an order of magnitude higher still.
I'd take the results with a large pinch of salt, though - is that 7 TFLOPS for the PowerPCs, 6.5, or 7.49? That makes a big difference.
Also, consider that when the PS3 is running the code, that's all its doing. Any other OS is going to be running other applications at the same time.
Don't get me wrong, the Cell processor is certainly pulling its weight, but don't discard the GPU - its 42 TFLOPS come from just 708 CPUs, for an average of 0.0593220338 TFLOPs/CPU - two and a half times that of the PS3.

Another question about processors and cores.

I did a search and review, but I'm not clear about one thing. There was one thread where it was mentioned that more cores would allow for more video streams to play in real time on the timeline. I need to get at least two HD video streams with alpha, one audio stream, a background still, and a foreground text overlay to all run at once. Can an iMac with just the i3 or i5 dual processors do that, or do I need to step up to the quad core iMac or the MacPro?

Shane Ross wrote:
I can get by with just one HD stream and one audio stream. So for that, will any of the processors in an iMac do?
HD stream. WHAT FORMAT of HD? DVCPRO HD...HDV...PRORES...yes. UNCOMPRESSED HD...no. And again, the amount of streams isn't related to processors...it is related to HARD DRIVE speed.
For the intermediate video with alpha, what is the best HD format to use that has no compression?
NO compression? Well, the only NO COMPRESSION alpha codecs there are is ANIMATION...and that isn't playable. ProRes 4444 is the one with the Alpha built in. It is compressed, but pretty darn lossless.
Point is, you need a good 4-5 drive eSATA RAID...or better.
Shane
I start with an image sequence out of Lightwave 3D. I currently use PNG images with alpha. Those are then rendered into video clips - one talking, one not. I use those clips over and over again in a single layer on the timeline and match them to the audio. That intermediate project is then rendered out with alpha and used in the final project.
That's why I need an uncompressed/lossless format, because I'm building up the project with a couple of prior renders. Sounds like ProRes 4444 would work unless there is a no-compression format.
How could I use an eSATA when none of the Macs have an eSATA connection?

Question about processor configure

Dear jmfers,
I learn jmf by copying jmf2 guide's example.
And i'm using j2sdk1.4.2_06
The following is part of my code:
processor.configure();
processor.setContentDescriptor( new ContentDescriptor( ContentDescriptor.RAW ) );
trackControl = processor.getTrackControls();
But each time I run the program, I got the following error.
javax.media.NotConfiguredError: setContentDescriptor cannot be called before configured
at com.sun.media.ProcessEngine.setContentDescriptor(ProcessEngine.java:342)
at com.sun.media.MediaProcessor.setContentDescriptor(MediaProcessor.java:123)
It's said that the processor will block when it's configuring. But it seems that it doesn't work.
Any hints for such errors?
Thanks for reply.

processor.congifure() doesnt block. its syncronous. You should read better the guide ;-)
The solution is create a StateHelper(in apendices) over the processor, try another block system or listen the ConfigureCompleteEvent. There are examples of the 3 in the guide... or you can consult the jmf solutions too.

Can FW800 133 MHz board from single 1 GHz machine take a dual processor?

I've read in more than one place that the logic board from the 1 GHz FW800 machine can't be used with ANY dual processor. Can anybody tell me with a reasonable degree of certainty whether this is true or not?
Please don't bother answering based on general principles. I already believe -- tell me if I'm wrong -- that every other MDD FW400 or FW800 board CAN take a dual processor and, except for this question, EVERY processor will work EITHER with EVERY 133 MHz board OR with EVERY 167 MHz board.

From my experience the processor card should be compatible, but don't hang me if I'm wrong.
This page showes how to set different multipliers = bus ratios.
So, according to the default multipliers for the MDDs, you get:
6.5x 133 MHz bus = 864.5 MHz CPU (867 MHz)
6.0x 166 MHz bus = 996 MHz CPU (1.0 GHz)
7.5x 166 MHz bus = 1,245 MHz CPU (1.25 GHz)
Thus, if you put a Dual 1.0 GHz onto a 133 MHz board, you'd get not 1.0 GHz but 800 MHz instead (798 MHz to be exact). The same goes for the 1.25 GHz where you'd get 1.0 GHz (997.5 MHz), and for the 1.42 GHz where it'd be 1,1 GHz (1130 MHz, multiplier 8.5x).
6.0x 133 MHz bus = 798.0 MHz CPU (1.0 GHz → 800 MHz)
7.5x 133 MHz bus = 997.5 MHz CPU (1.25 GHz → 1.0 GHz)
8.5x 133 MHz bus = 1,130 MHz CPU (1.42 GHz → 1.1 GHz)
So, if you alter the bus speed of the board (see here, link is from the xlr8yourmac page linked above) you will be able to use the Dual processors for the 166 MHz bus on your 133 MHz board, then overclocked to 166 MHz, at their designed speeds. If you don't what to change the boards system bus speed the processors will just be underclocked, thus run slower – with all the advantages like less power consumption and less heat emission together with a prolonged lifetime.
To fit the 133 MHz system bus you would have to change the multipliers on the processor daughter card to run at the processors native speeds.
Just one example:
1,000 MHz / 133 MHz = 7.5x
So, if you'd want to run a Dual 1.0 GHz processor on a 133 MHz system board you'd have to alter the multiplier from 6.0x (for the original 166 MHz system bus) to 7.5x (for your 133 MHz system bus) – the resistors to change the multiplier reside on the processor daughter board.
That said, keep in mind that this procedure is *NOT tested or confimed*, but it seems logical, doesn't it?
I had a OWC Mercury Extreme 1.4 GHz processor upgrade placed in a Gigabit Ethernet replaced into a Quicksilver (2001 version). As you can see here, it had set the multiplier to 14x to have it run at 1.4 GHz on the Gigabith Ethernet (100 MHz system bus) and I had to set the jumpers to a multiplier of 10.5x for the Quicksilver (133 MHz system bus).
Thus, if I had put the OWC Mercury Extreme running at 1.4 GHz in the 133 MHz bus Quicksilver unmodified back into the 100 MHz bus Gigabit Ethernet, it would run at 1050 MHz (roughly 1.0 GHz).
That's it. There wouldn't be more to it than that, but the latter source (for changing the motherboards system bus speed) states that Apple put in some protection on the processor daughter card to prevent increase in system bus speed if no dual processor is present. Since this doesn't apply to you as you stick to your 133 MHz system bus it shouldn't bother you.
*But don't blame me* if it should turn out to be completely wrong!
Cheers,
Andreas.

Equium P200-1ED and processor upgrade

Hi
I have installed an 64GB SSD and installed Windows 7 with user and program data folders on an SD card installed as USB drive through the Expresscard slot. I have also put in 4GB of RAM
It is still slow browsing the web even through wired Ethernet. So I am considering upgrading the processors as the bottle neck appears to be definitely on the processor which is an Intel Dual T2310 @1.46 GHz.
So the question is what is the next possible processor upgrade?
Thanks

On the question of processor upgrade:
I have already upgraded the BIOS and the Intel Chip set driver.
The problem is that this model is discontinued and I can't find much information on it.
I got this old Lap Top for free, I have got an 64GB SSD for 25, 64GB SD and express-card adaptor 30 and the 2X2GB RAM for 19.00. So if a new processor can make it fast enough then it will be worth another $20-$40 expense considering that I saw a used one advertised on Amazon for 245.00.
I know that it can support T3700 with L4 cache. Considering that a 2.GH can be bought for around $20.00. I though I might as well see if it can support something even faster how much that is.
How ever I get the the your point but I just don't know what is slowing this machine down.
When I change tab or reload a form it takes time before I can see the response to the keyboard input.
I have checked the page faults but I don't see anything there.
I wonder if I change to no paging, now that I have and SSD in there. So, any ideas would be welcome.
I doubt the network connection is a problem because I have fast broadband and I have tested it wired and wireless and as I said, I have a desktop running the same OS with 64BG SSD and 4GB RAM and it is a hell of a lot faster but that one has a quad Intel processor. The only other difference is that on the desktop the user folders are not moved to another drive but that is because I don't have and SD slot on the other one and surely SD is a lot faster than HHD.
So, what else could be holding it back? Feed backs would be appreciated.

I7 CPU Question

Hi Everyone,
I've been reading these forums for quite awhile and taking in all the great advice and answers. I now have a question regarding processors. I understand the opinion that under the current price points, the i7 920 is a superior buy than the 940. Because the hefty price differences don't justify the limited gain one gets with the 940. My question is this, Frys has the 940 on sale for about $330 and currently the price I see on the 920 on places like newegg is $280. Given the $50 difference is it worth it to buy the 940 or is overclocking the 920 still the way to go? (I'm not worried about spending the extra 50 bucks, but more curious if I should). I picked one up since they stopped production on them and quantities were limited, but I have two weeks to return it.
I'm going to build a new computer over the next couple of weeks, and then plan on swapping out the cpu when the new versions come out later this year and drop in price (assuming they are compatible with the x58 motherboard, which I believe I read they would be). But for now, I need a faster setup than my Q6600, 64 bit vista, 8 GB. The rendering times on some of my projects are killing me.
I primarily work in Premiere Pro and Adobe After Effects, both CS4 versions. Most of the videos I create are either industrial for DVD / Web or web videos created with green screen. I also make short films for film festivals.
Any opinions would be appreciated.
Take care,
David

That Fry's ad is a day behind in my East coast area. $329.99 is a super deal. Fry's also has a Cooler Master case, Elite 341 Mid Tower on sale for $14.99 after a $10 mail-in rebate. This case is listed on Newegg.com for $50.
While I was at Fry's yesterday I saw a computer with a large LED touch screen. I did a search for a hi-def *WMV on this system. The playback was amazingly vibrant and sharp on the clip that I found.
I wonder if an LED would be a good choice for a video editing reference monitor. I noticed in the TV section at Fry's that the Samsung 55" LED's have a picture so sharp and clear that motion picture level special effects look less realistic.

TrackControl, Change Track, and others questions about AvTransmit

Hi there,
I've got multiples questions about JMF and AvTransmit, hope you will help
For a small student project, i'm developing a streaming server using JMF, i have used the AvTransmit example.
Streaming, etc... everything work fine, i stream music over web
But i need help with "playlist" :
// Get the tracks from the processor
TrackControl[] tracks = processor.getTrackControls();
First Question :
The Processor use a MediaLocator to get one track, is there a way to indicate multiples tracks, such as a directory containing multiples audio file ?
At this time, i can only set 1 file in the MediaLocator.
I'm using a simple class as Playlist (a File[]), and, when i want to change song, i stop the thread, change the MediaLocator with another file, and restart the thread.
It works on a Lan, but on Internet, Player (I use VLC for my test) lost the connection, i need to restart VLC to get audio again.
Second Question
Is there a more "elegant" way to change tracks ?
Last Question
I have think about building my own object Playlist... gasp...
I've look at the javadoc... but i'm a bit lost... does my class have to implement TrackControl ? what are the object inside etc...
If someone knows information about this...
That's all ;)
Thanks !
Tommy, french student (sorry for the english)

First Question :
The Processor use a MediaLocator to get one track, is there a way to indicate multiples tracks, such as a directory containing multiples audio file ?
At this time, i can only set 1 file in the MediaLocator.No. The processor uses a MediaLocator to get one file. Files (can) contain multiple tracks.
You can, in fact, combine the tracks of multiple files together, but, there's no need to do that with your application. AVTransmit2 sends each track as a separate RTP stream, so you'd just be sticking them together just to pull them apart again.
In general, you want to keep your architecture as one processor per file, one RTP stream per track.
Second Question
Is there a more "elegant" way to change tracks ?Yes. It's what I refer to as a jukebox DataSource. I discuss it / explain the concept on this previous thread.
[http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=28&threadID=5400318]
What you're essentially doing when you change the MediaLocator is starting over from scratch. You end up with a whole new DataSource, whole new Processor, whole new RTP session. On the LAN, this isn't an issue because it looks like you paused the RTP session (because the IP/PORTs don't change).
Over the internet, though, when you stop sending and restart, you're very likely going to get a new public NAT port. And so when your stream gets to the client, it's going to look like it's from a different person than the original.
The solution is to use the jukebox datasource to change the media without restarting the Processor or the RTP streams. That'll ensure that your stream won't move between files from the perspective of the client...
Last Question
I have think about building my own object Playlist... gasp...
I've look at the javadoc... but i'm a bit lost... does my class have to implement TrackControl ? what are the object inside etc...
If someone knows information about this...Ummmm, your "Playlist" object should just be a Jukebox datasource, so follow the link and figure out how that's supposed to work. If you have questions about it, just ask 'em here (rather than on the older thread)...

Some questons about z61t

Hello everybody
recently I got for myself a z61t-9443.
I don’t want this laptop to be a replacement of my desktop, I would like to upgrade it abit but my knowledge around laptops is really poor.
So here are some questions.
Questions about mini-pcie
1)In some reviews people showed benchmarks for graphics which included the intel 950 but also with a geforce go 6600
I could not find any serious information neither about geforce go or ati mobility , only some salvaged parts on ebay and they were all mini-pci
So what is the case? Does the machine has a mini-pci? How they managed to use a geforce 6600 on a z61t? as far as I searched there are no mini-pci-e gpus.
Is there any way to upgrade the cpu?
2)I read about mini-pcie ssds and some intels turbo memory technology which can be used to boost the boot times a lot, can they be used on z61t’s second mini-pcie?
Questions about battery.
3)Would you buy a second battery or an ultrabay battery? (I need to state I don’t find dvd really usefull)
Questions about ram.
4)If I upgrade the processor to a core 2 and use windows 7 x64, will it be able to detect and use all 4 gbs of ram. Or system will just be using 3gbs?
Questions about processor.
5)I read that it is possible to upgrade to some core 2 duo processor of the series t7xx, is this possible?
6)From an cpu upgrade will my computer “melt”?
Question about hdd
7)if I get a disk with more rpms will it have an effect on system temperature?
Question about Lenovo support
8)why I couldn’t find drivers from Lenovo for the card reader on windows 7 and I had to use some of dell I found on the internet? (yes that is irony )
Question about the pc card.
9) what is the use of a pc card? I haven’t found anything usefull that can go in the pc card slot until now
anyway mates I hope you are not tired from my essay lol. Thanx anyway for the trouble reading it and a bigger thanx if you reply

1. The Z61t only had the intel gpu. You can't upgrade the GPU as such, MXM solution won't work either.
2. Z61t wasn't designed for turbo memory technology, i don't think you can it will work.
3. I wouldn't go with the ultrabay battery as it is always used first and charged first, which causes faster battery degradation.
4. 3 gig is the hardware limit and not a software limit.
5/6. You can go with T7xxx CPU, but T5xxx CPU with the 667 mhz FSB runs cooler. These CPU were all available in the Z61t.
7. 7200 rpm drive should not increase the laptop temp as such.
8. Not sure about the driver, since my Z61t doesn't have Win 7 installed.
9. maybe a usb expansion card can be added to the pc-card, where you can get more usb ports.

Jin Li
