RAM for desktop

I recently just purchased a Dell Inspiron 660s Desktop. I was thinking about upgrading the RAM from the 4GB it came with. The desktop is expandable to 8GB so i was wanting to go dual channel for better performance. I'm either going to choose The 2x4 from PNY that runs at 1333Mhz or the more expensive Corsair Vengence that runs at 1600Mhz. This is not a gaming pc nor do i use it as one, so can any one tell me if there would be a big difference between the two and which one should i go with.

Upgrading to 8GB will have no ill effect on your performance. If 1600MHz is in there now, I would go with it if the price difference is negligible.
If you like my post, or solution to your issue/question, go ahead and click on the little star by my name and/or accept the post as the Solution. It makes me happy.

Are there suggestions for managing Multiple VMWare Fusion systems sharing files with a MacBook? Suppose I have enough ram for 3 servers to share files.

Suppose I have enough ram for 2 or three VMWare fusion systems to that could benefit from file sharing. Is it possible to configiure each VMWare funsion instance to have a common read only file share on my desktop and a common read/write area on on my desktop?
This would allow me to extend the power and mustle of my Mac Book Air, Retina Display system to its best advantage. Whether native Mac processing or speciality linux or Windows systems as needed.
I am having trouble allowing more than one system to share the same read only and the same read/write areas so that software does the file locking and merge controls. Even if these do not share a common read/write area, it would be truly handy for drive space management for them to share a common read only area.
Thanks for your thoughtful input.

It really denpends on the os running in the vm and what the permissions are set to on those shares.
I run a few vms on both a mac at home and windows at work and all other computers in my home or at work can connect to the vms without any problems. Even multiple computer at the same time.
It also depends on how you have set the vm up for networking. If you are setting it up as nat, instead of bridged, that can also cause problems access it from multiple system. With nat the vm is on its own network branch.

Best Cooling Pad for Desktop Use

If anyone has an opinion, please weigh in. I'm curious if anyone has ever used one of those many laptop cooling pads/mats out there. I'm considering buying one for desktop use with my 17" MBPro. When running intense apps for hours on end (FCS, Adobe everything, StarCraft 2) I occasionally push it to the brink of freezing and nothing will save it except a hard-reset.
So if you've ever purchased/used on of these, which are the best? Consider price to be no object. Thanks!
Chris

@Scott - Been in post-production a long time friend. Laptops are everywhere. Get with the future.
@MacMedic - Thanks for the recommendation, I'll definitely be looking in to it.
@Lyssa - It's only been recently that my Mac has been having the over-heating issues. I'm thinking it's just a combination of getting old and summer months with no A/C. With regard to my specs you're somewhat close. It's the MacBookPro2,1; Introduced October 2006 discontinued June 2007 and I was unfortunate enough to have purchased mine April 2007 shortly before they were phased out. It has the 2.33GHz Core-2 Duo with 3GB of Memory.
Used to run all my programs just fine with the fans kicking into overdrive, but lately things just get sluggish when it's hot. I typically only have one program running at a time, occasionally two (like Final Cut and After Effects) but not for long periods of time. With the exception of StarCraft 2 the amount of free ram is still in the 100's and I've got just over 100GB free on a 500GB HDD. It's not slow for things like Word Processing, Browsing the web (unless I run into something Flash based in Safari ha ha) or doing Mail.
Anyway, thanks for all the help. Keep the suggestions coming in.

Paralles for desktop 8 and MacBook Air

Paralles for desktop 8 is better i5 or i7 Macbook Air? and is sufficient i5?

As you have to do a clean install, you need to buy a System Builder or full version. If you want to install Windows 7, you can get a full version at Amazon or NewEgg. The same for Windows 8, but in this case, you have to get a System Builder version.
You need a 64-bit Windows version because you have got a 64-bit processor, so you will get better performance. Also, check that you have enough RAM. To install Windows on a virtual machine, I recommend at least 4 GB, but 8 GB of memory are better

Hi,

My safari menu bar is missing --the menu bar for desktop, HD, and apps appears, but when I click on Safari, it disappears, so I can no longer see my buttons for History, etc. I think my husband (pc user) clicked it away. Any ideas how to retrieve it?

My safari menu bar is missing. The menu bar for desktop, HD, and apps appears, but when I click on Safari, it disappears, so I can no longer see my buttons for History, etc. I think my husband (pc user) clicked it away when borrowing my computer. Any ideas how to retrieve it? Thanks.

I too was having the same problem However, I could access both the menu bar and the dock by hovering my mouse over them so it wasn't a huge problem but I prefered having it there anyway. I was not in full screen mode and I could still go into full screen mode if I wanted to. I found the easiest solution was to just quit safai and restart it, but it might not work for you considering you couldn't access you menu bar either way.
I found this article that allows you to hide/show the menu bar and the dock through TextEdit (didn't work for me) http://www.mactricksandtips.com/2009/07/hide-the-menubar-or-dock-in-specific-app s.html It is pretty old so it might not work for lion and a bit risky if you don't know what you're doing so I wouldn't really recommend doing it this way.
And KSheppard, I know it's not really any of my buisness, but the way to get answers to a question isn't by insulting others and being quick-tempered. Even if you feel like you were insulted first, don't try snapping at people who aren't obligated to help you. Honestly, it just makes everything easier if everybody is cooperative and polite.

I am trying to install Creative Cloud app for Desktop and it's shutting down

Trying to install the Creative Cloud app for Desktop but every time I try the Adobe Application Manager shuts itself every time. I have OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
If it is automatically installed, where do I find it? I don’t think it has installed because the Application Manager shuts itself so fast every time.

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for your reply.
I went into Applications> Utilities but there is no Adobe Installers folder or icon there for me to do anything with. I went back to my Adobe account front page and tried to download Illustrator again seeing as it hasn’t installed but when Application Manager tries to open (the little spinning icon) it spins about 3 times before I get a pop up saying that Adobe Application Manager has failed to open. This happens every time I attempt to download Illustrator. Any other options for what might be the issue?
Thanks again!

Adobe air with flex, file new, open and save for Desktop software program

I already have a headache from all the searching. I cannot believe this to be such a confusing topic as every software program we create must be able to save user input, right.
Here is the problem:
Novel writing software program Main window has tabnavigator with four navigatorcontent pages 1. characters, 2. worlds, 3. objects, 4. Editor
Each navigatorcontent page has user input fields in the form of textinput component, textarea component, richtexteditor component, etc.
problem 1:
The user needs to be able to open a new project and give it a name and state where it must be saved. All user input in the Novel writing software program must be attached to the file name the user specified - cannot give sample code cause I don't even know where to start looking anymore.
Problem 2:
If the user has now defined a new project name, all his input from the different input components has to be compiled into a single file that can be saved. (Dan Pichelman gave me a satisfactory answer on using the file.borwseforsave funtion.) That makes sense, but I first need to get all the user input into that single file. I was convinced that it must be an xml file and that there would be a guide on how to do this but...
Problem 3:
This brings me to another problem. All the pages I've researched so far tell me how to load data from an xml file into a component, but not how to write the text from the component into the xml file. And this xml file cannot be the prefs file in the storage directory, it has to be named by the user and then after filling in all his text in the different tabs of the software, must be saved in this xml file and saved where the user chooses.
Problem 4:
now that the user put in his text and it is written to an xml file that he has named and set the path to, he goes on vacation and in two weeks opens his saved file to work on his project again. All the data that was stored in the xml must now be written back into the different user input components so he can continue working on his project, truth be told, there are some samles and tutorials on this subject, but again from only a single page perspective not a multiple tab perspective.
Problem 5:
Now the user has deleted and/or changed some text he put in when he started, he wrote some more text in the textareas and texteditor and he clicks the file - save button. The xml file or whatever needs to be used must be updated and saved with all the changes overwriting the old file.
Problem 6:
The data entered by the user will end up being a book of say 400 pages. This data will obviously be mostly in the richtexteditor component, so whatever method of saving is used, database or xml or whatever, needs to be able to contain all this data.
Thought, if you are working with for instance, microsoft powerpoint, it has multiple pages all containing different user inputs and when you click flie - save, it saves all that input into one file. When I as a user opens that saved file it loads all that content back into its place and I can change and manipulate the input and save it again. I would have thought this would be one of the first things adobe or any other software would teach as this is what sofware programs are all about. But alas, the tutorials on this subject for adobe air for Desktop application is extreeeeemely rare.
My promise is, if someone can help me with this or there is a tutorial out there that covers this properly I will write a tutorial on this for other newbies as I progress step by step.
Pleeeeeeease help this ignorant novice
Regards

to save a file you would do something like:
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter( fileName );
textComponent.write( fw );
fw.close();See the JFileChoose API for filtering files by extension. The API gives an example.

How can I use addons for desktop firefox on mobile firefox?

Hi,
there are several addons for desktop firefox that I would like to use with my mobile firefox (android 4). Is it possible to make them compatible for mobile firefox?
Thanks for help!
XenonX3

Hi XenonX3,
I'm afraid not. Add-ons for mobile firefox are different because the browser itself is very different.
There is information on firefox mobile development here: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/docs/sdk/latest/dev-guide/tutorials/mobile.html]

How do I create a view in SQL Server in Visual Studio Express 2013 for Desktop?

Hi
I've got a SQL Server database set up using the internal SQL Server in Visual Studio Express 2013 for Desktop. I want to create a view (using tables with one to many relationships) but I don't
know how to do it.
Where can I find a good tutorial on creating views in SQL Server in Visual Studio Express 2013 for Desktop? I think Visual Studio Express 2013 for Desktop doesn't have some view designer that
exists in the non-express version of Visual Studio (if I'm not mistaken). So I think I'd need a tutorial on how to do the actual SQL, unless there is some tool I don't know about.
Thanks

Hi ,
According to your description, if you install SQL Server SQL Server 2014 Express and SQL Server Manager Studio tools (SSMS), if you want to create a view, you can use SSMS. Then if you want to connect to and Diagram your SQL Express Database in Visual Studio
2013, you can attach the database file by using the .NET Framework Data Provider for SQL Server in Visual Studio, and create a database diagram via expanding the “Database Diagrams” node.
For more information, there is similar issue about how to connect to and Diagram your SQL Express Database in Visual Studio 2012 , you can review the following article,
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/bethmassi/archive/2011/10/27/how-to-connect-to-and-diagram-your-sql-express-database-in-visual-studio-lightswitch.aspx.

How can i allocate more RAM for my onboard video card on a 2011 macbook pro 13 inch running windows 7 via bootcamp

I noticed that since Macbooks.. macs in general use an EFI instead of BIOS. . .. Now i need to allocate some more RAM for the onboard video card since its currently running with an estimated 50mb.. I would like to increase this to 512 and cut the 3.95 down to 3.5 MB for the rest of the system ( allowing me to run more graphic intensive games and the such ... ) I know this could slow down the entire system.. ( i am aware of this ) and have gotten a 3rd party application to control and close out uneeded processes during gaming.. I just need more ram for my onboard video card.. Any help?

You don't allocate more RAM towards your video card, you put more RAM into the machine and hopefully some machines will bump the CPU graphics RAM allocation up a little.
The problem is you bought a integrated only graphics computer, if you want to 3D game you need a dedicated graphics computer with it's own or dedicated VRAM.
If your this serious about 3D gaming, your on the wrong platform.
Get a Windows 7 64bit i7 8GB RAM expandable 3D gaming tower with a good power supply and video card upgrade path, this way every few years you buy and stick in a new video card to play the latest games.
Mac's are not gaming machines and never will be because they would last too long if we could upgrade them.
