Quicksilver CPU questions

I have another Quicksilver 2002 in storage that has no CPU. It was a single CPU model. Does the dual CPU drop right in, or are the boards different between them? I don't see a difference visually except for the chip.
Also, does 10.5.4 work okay on a Quicksilver? Anyone found a way to put Snow Leopard on an older Mac yet?
Thanks

Hi-
All QS processors are interchangeable.
The heatsinks, however, are more processor specific, especially with dual processors.
Other than that, any processor from one QS is plug and play in another QS.
Leopard works just fine on a dual 1.0 GHz QS. I run 10.5.8 on my DP 1.0 GHz and three 933 MHz QS machines.
Snow Leopard will never happen on a PPC Mac.
When running Leopard, a Core Image supporting graphics card is highly desirable.

  • Quicksilver cpu fan replacement question

    Hi,
    I have 2001 quicksilver 867. The cpu fan had stopped moving. I got it going again by taking it out and moving the fins around, but i'm looking for a replacement.
    I found the "OEM" versions but the idea of spending $60 for a fan isn't that appealing.
    So i'm considering just getting a standard 3 pin fan, and using an adapter to make it 2 pins.
    I was thinking of getting this fan:
    http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?mainpage=product_info&cPath=51&productsid=133
    and I noticed they have several "2 pin" fan adapters here:
    http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=289&main_page=index
    So my questions are:
    (1) Will that fan above work well enough for the quicksilver cpu?
    (2) Do you know which 2 pin adapter would fit the logic board, as they have several types. Type A would be my guess but it's hard to tell from the small pictures.
    Thanks!
    David Kiley

    I would remove the fan and take it to a local PC store. You should be able to find a reasonably priced replacement at most PC parts retailers.

  • Quicksilver CPU upgrade question

    Hi, I've got a 733mhz quicksilver G4. I'm looking into upgrading to a dual 800mhz quicksilver cpu. Sound like a plan? I know not to get an mdd cpu as I've heard they won't work in the quicksilvers. Does this sound like a plan, the dual 800mhz?....is it worth it/ do you think I'll see a difference? The only thing this computer is mainly used for is online...it's a clean system, yet with all the moving ads they keep putting on yahoo, weather.com, etc...the single 733mhz is seeming a bit slow...even with a good amount of ram I have in there. Will this swap be a simple one 'pop out, pop in'....or is there anything I need to do since it's a double on mb with originally a single cpu? Thanks for your advice! How do you calculate the cpu speed...i know that this dual 800mhz is not the same as a 1.6ghz, but what would you call it equivalent to? Thanks for your advice-

    Hi-
    Any of the Quicksilver CPUs are plug and play/ interchangeable in the QS.
    Just get the heatsink with it, as they vary. Dual processors must have a dual processor specific heatsink.
    A dual 800 is equivalent to a 800 Mhz processor,except that there are two of them, that's all.
    It is better than the QS single 800 MHz processor in that the single doesn't have a L3 cache.
    What a dual does for you is to help with multitasking in OS X, speed up dual processor aware software and boost graphics and video handling ability.
    A single 933 MHz processor is quite a bit faster than a 800 MHz processor, and way better than the 733 MHz processor due to L3 cache.
    However, the dual 800 also has the L3 cache, so it will feel a bunch faster than the 733.

  • Quicklookd and Quicksilver, cpu usage

    Hello,
    I've actually almost got this figured out, but lately I've had issues with my computer stalling and having a huge spike in the cpu temperature. By running 'top' in the terminal I found the culprit to be quicklookd--it was using up all my cpu had to give. When I kill the quicklookd a whole bunch of shearch panes for Quicksilver pop up and then disappear.
    In doing some forum crawling it seems to me that quicklook has some issues with files that are constantly changing (like torrents or, as occurred with me, a disk image) because it tries to rescan it over and over again.
    Now, I can certainly keep killing quicklookd when it messes up (it's even kind of fun to kill a process and hear the fan spin down right away, like I diffused a bomb or something,) but I can't always watch my computer when it's doing a big download for example.
    Any suggestions for fixing this? Should I move the quicklook generators from their folder one by one till i find which one is bad? Is there a way I could automate killing quicklookd when it gets above a certain percent of the cpu?
    Thanks,
    Josh

    Here is what they said:
    "quicklookd is a process that is part of QuickLook, and has nothing to do with Quicksilver.
    Quicksilver's process from within Activity Monitor is simply called 'Quicksilver'
    I suggest you have a look at some support forums, it looks like others may have had the same problem:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1785292 "
    from http://github.com/tiennou/blacktree-alchemy/issues/issue/128
    Now, that is why I asked about auto-killing the process (it pops back up when ever it is needed anyway)--from other forums I learn that Quicklook sometimes has issues with certain files, quicksilver uses quicklook, I am stuck in the middle. Even if I didn't use quicksilver, there is no guaranty that quicklook would not mess up.
    So my question is not about using beta software, it's about controlling an osx process.

  • Quarterly CPU question from a rookie

    Question qualifier: I am not a trained or experienced DBA, I have however been thrown under the Oracle bus to set up a Patch and Vulnerability Management program for the Oracle servers.
    Question: Are the quarterly CPUs cummulative? In other words, does each quarterly CPU include the patches from the previous quarterly CPU?
    If not, I would like to clarify theire installation order.
    The CPUs MUST BE installed in the released sequence to make sure that all vulnerabilities are covered.
    a. This is correct. The patches have to be installed in the released order.
    b. This is the official position, but in reality it is not that strict.
    c. It doesn't matter as long as all the patched are applied.
    d. What is a CPU?
    I thank everyone in advance for your help.
    Jonathan

    All these questions are answered in Note 360470.1 (FAQ)
    Basically, CPU patches are security patches likes the ones released by other vendors sent at predefined intervals to contain a list of fixes based on bugs or issues found. They are usually not cumulative (the answer depends on which Oracle product you are referring to).
    About the official position?.. Treat as strongly recommended.

  • Oracle CPU question with 11.5.10 CU2

    Just a general question. First time trying to apply an Oracle CPU and in this case applying the July 2010 CPU to our Test E-biz 11.5.10 CU2 RUP7 install.
    My configuration is RH Linux ES 4.8 with a 10.2.0.4 database server running admin, db and CCM services and then an app server running forms and web services.
    I'm referring to "Oracle E-Business Suite Releases 11i and 12 Critical Patch Update Knowledge Document (July 2010) [ID 986534.1]" and then the subsequent articles that follow that.
    My questions are:
    Q1. My database level is currently 10.2.0.4. It would appear my steps are first update Opatch (no problem there).
    Then apply 9032412.
    Then it looks like I apply either CPU Patch 9655017, or PSU Patch 9654991.
    But PSU 9654991 REQUIRES PRE-REQUISITE 10.2.0.4.4 so I can't apply that right?
    I will apply 9655017 instead and will that get me to 10.2.0.4.5?
    Q2. My configuration is DB Tier with CCM and an app Tier running forms, reports as mentioned.
    Do I have to worry about the Fusion Middle-ware stuff?
    Q3. Patches to apply to E-Business Suite.
    Looks like 9578142 applies to my environment.
    Check the pre-reqs to ensure I have anything that needs to be applied first.
    Then depending on what modules we use or have installed (does it make a difference) I'll apply subsequent patches say for 'Financials'.
    Q3. Anything else I need to consider? We are patching Test first and when done if it's all good we'll schedule Prod.
    I realize this is a pretty generic question. My main uncertainty is on the db 10.2.0.4 patch and if the 965517 will get me to 102045 or not.
    Update - My first patch is giving me the OUI-67620 superset error which I believe is telling me the new patch contains all the fixes from the existing patch so ok to proceed. Right?

  • Will a Quicksilver cpu work in a Sawtooth?

    I have a chance to get a Quicksilver processor (733) with heatsink and all for pretty cheap, but I don't know if it will even work in my Sawtooth.
    Also, what about a cpu from a MDD G4?
    Thanks in advance,
    Matt

    Hi Matt
    A CPU from a MDD won't work due to the architectural differences (DDR RAM etc). A CPU from a QuickSilver can be made to work although I believe there are a number of issues. I expect Hussein could provide much more information, but the CPU daughter card from a QuickSilver requires a 12 volt feed to one of the securing screws. Also the bus multipler for the QuickSilver 733MHz processor will be set to 5.5 (5.5 x 133MHz = 733MHz). On a Sawtooth with a 100MHz bus, this would presumably cause the processor to run at only 550MHz. You could change the bus multiplier, but this involves adding and/or removing resistors. I believe there may also be issues with the larger QuickSilver heatsink not fitting properly, although I'm sure Hussein could provide you with more details.
    I hope this helps a little.

  • 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.

  • New W530 CPU question

    Happy holidays all...
    I ordered a W530 to replace my W510 and I have a question regarding the config. The machine I ordered is as follows:
    Processor
    Intel Core i7-3920XM
    Operating system
    Windows 7 Professional 64
    Total memory
    8 GB PC3-12800 DDR3 (2 DIMM)
    Hard drive
    500GB HDD 7200rpm
    Video
    NVIDIA Quadro K2000M 2GB
    I was tossed between ordering the i7-3920 and the i7-3820QM and would like to know if there is a meaningfull difference in performance between both CPU's as it relates to running multiple virtual machines and heavy CPU dependant games like Microsoft FSX.
    I'd also like to know if the W530 is better at managing cooling than the W510, especialy under heavy workloads.

    Not sure about the W530.
    The W520 uses a different (and more noisy!) fan for the XM processor - since the XM draws 10W more power.

  • 9800 Pro & Quicksilver cooling questions . . .

    I have a 9800 pro inside a Quicksilver with the Zalman FANLESS ZM80D-HP.
    The optional fan for this heatsink does not fit inside the quicksilver.
    http://www.zalman.co.kr/ENG/product/Product_Read.asp?idx=135
    Since the quicksilver already has a large fan facing the pci, agp and ram, do I still need a fan directly on the above heatsink? Seems like it would not be necessary?
    My next choice would be the iceberg5 but why spend the extra, and the above heatsink looks kinda cool in the Quicksilver.

    Since the quicksilver already has a large fan facing the pci, agp and ram, do I still need a fan directly on the above heatsink?
    In theory, the design of the heatpipe should utilize the existing airflow.
    BUT, the 9800 is a very hot GPU, and note #3 of Zalman's compatibility table recognizes this fact.
    I've always been curious about the passive coolers on a 9800, but, between the bulk, and the majority of sources saying a fan isn't really optional, I never bothered to take the leap.
    Kinda' like all the CPU upgrades for AGP graphics through the QS, they all have fans on the heatsink.
    From what I've seen with the CPU's, and feel applies to the heatpipe, is the case fan does not provide a direct enough current of air to maximize cooling. An additional fan is needed to apply airflow specifically to the heatsink.
    The case fan is more to keep enough air coming in so that the PSU fans don't have to create a suction/work harder to move air out

  • Quick CPU question

    I'm thinking of upgrading my AGP Powermac from the stock 500mhz to something a bit better. I'm not planning on spending more than $100 (not to much money to start with) and was wondering if it's possible to put in one of the other Sawtooth or Quicksilver CPUs. I've seen some rather cheap CPUs on ebay before.
    Thanks for looking

    Hello InuNacho,
    You can overclock to 600mhz fairly easily; chap on eBay sells altered CPUs and seems to know what he's doing. Cost is usually less than $100 (your risk, of course) but the improvement is not earth-shaking.
    Other World Computing is currently offering - as specials - Sonnet, Mercury, and Newer(brand) CPUs in 1.0, 1.2, and 1.4mhz sizes all for (slightly) under $200. Improvement should run from earth-moving to earth-shaking.
    If your uni-n number is copasetic, you can replace your single 500mhz with a dual 500mhz processor. Most likely it is not, but it doesn't cost to see. Go to the Sonnet or OWC web sites and search for dual CPU requirements, then follow the prompts. The improvement is worthwhile, but not earth-shaking. Used Apple dual CPUs are available from time to time on eBay for less than $100.

  • Cpu questions

    I am buying a 27 inch iMac.
    Main use is tv and dvr. I don't save the shows for long so I can use the 1tb hdd.
    My real question is How much difference in the cpu's? I read the i7 is fastest and can hyper thread to allow the machine to think it has more then 4 cores. It is 2200 if I buy the i7.
    I see the quads have the better video card as stock.
    So if I buy the 3.06 it is 1850 after the video card upgrade.. so do I need to spend the 350 extra for the cpu upgrade?
    I figure If I buy the base model I am using it with the better graphics card. Is anyone using the 27inch model with a 3.06 cpu and the graphic card upgrade? I think my model will have the screen fix
    (yellow -flicker) done by the time I order.
    How hot is the 3.06 vs the i7? Any input will help me to decide.. 1850 is a boatload of cash for me to spend. 2200 is worse but I need the 27inch all in one. Thanks

    Hi Philip,
    The 27 inch i7 is a very fast CPU is very fast I use it Final cut studio 3 and its a beast, it is very fast, I could tell you this its a fantastic computer I got it with 4 gigs of ram and just upgraded from i5, to the i7 I think its worth the extra bucks, go directly to apple store and see if they have i7 on stocks because they are fantastic machine I love it, I am satisfied with my computer, but don´t get overwhelmed with reading about the negative points of the machine there are a few here that are making a good rant about it. But if I was you I would go get it at the apple store that way you know what your getting and if your not so sure about the machine; boot it up at the store. But for video and heavy duty processing this machine is very fast, as I type this to you I am rendering a final cut pro movie its going to take me 4 min to get it done.
    I also would suggest that you get 8 gigs if you want to open lots of programs, and do heavy processing.
    Hope this might of help.

  • Apple G4 Quicksilver CPU Acceleration cards - real 4x cpu power gain???

    Hi there,
    I have got a Quicksilver 2002 G4 (single CPU 800 MHZ)
    and am looking into dual acceleration cards:
    SONNET ENCORE ST 4 (DUAL 1.8GHZ G4)
    and
    GIGA DESIGNS G-celerator (DUAL 7447A G4 1.8GHz ).
    Will you get a real 4x cpu power gain and cut your render time when using software like MAYA/FINAL CUT/AFTER EFFETCS that offer multi cpu rendering?
    Many thanks.
    All the best,
    CF

    Hi CF,
    I'm contemplating a similar upgrade, for similar reasons. Please post back with any success/failure/info.
    Here's a link or at least an address to a site (that I have no affiliation with, but have been a satisfied customer of) that sells upgrade procs here in the US. This should take you to their Benchmark Compare-O-mat-o-rator:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/benchmark/
    It shows various stock G4s vs. Single and Dual Upgrade Processors under several different tests (gaming/rendering/photoshopping etc.).

  • Quicksilver CPU

    Is it possible to drop the CPU from a newer PowerMac G4 into my Quicksilver 2002? Like the CPU from a Dual MDD, or perhaps the Dual 1Ghz from the last QuickSilver (My current G4 is a single Processor Unit)

    I don't believe it's possible to drop the CPU daughter card from a MDD or FW800 PowerMac into a QuickSilver due to the differences in architecture etc. However, I'm sure the CPU card from another QuickSilver would work, including those with dual processors. I expect all QuickSilver 2002s are fundamentally the same in terms of the logic board etc, the only difference being which CPU card happened to be installed at the factory. I've tried looking for one from a Dual 1GHz QuickSilver as well so I could perform a processor upgrade without having to worry about firmware patches etc that many third party processor upgrades seem to need. However, original Apple CPU cards seem much more expensive than third party ones, even second hand. I hope this helps.

  • 770-C45 Motherboard and CPU question

    I have referred to the CPU compatibility chart for this motherboard and my question is in regards to the AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition CPU. I see other 965 CPU's listed as compatible. I realize that this CPU is 140 watts. Is this a problem. Could someone please clarify this for me.
    Thanks for your time

    thanks for the assistance, I have decided to go with a 955 instead of a 965.
    I also read the Memory sticky and it said to look for AMD tested RAM. I am using tigerdirect.ca and dont see any RAM that says it has been specifically made for an AMD. Currently I am looking at  Kingston PC10600 1333MHz 4GB DDR3 (KVR1333D3K2/4GR). I only plan to use 2 as per the guide. Any suggestions.
    Thanks for clearing up my earlier question.
