Round cables for new system

I went and ordered my new system components last night and now I need to figure out what cables I will need.
I want to use the round cables as the flat ribbon cables impede airflow too much.
I am not sure whether I want to put a floppy drive in or not as it isn't really needed these days, although it is nice for backing up Intenet Explorer Bookmarks quickly.
Which round cables should I get for my new system, how would you connect them and where have you found the best prices on them?
I believe the MSI GeForce4 Ti4200 video card comes with a round cable in the retail box I ordered so that takes care of one of them.
I appreciate the help.
My system is going to be as follows:
MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR Mobo
AMD Athlon XP 2500+ Barton processor
Mushkin 512 MB PC2700 222 Level II Hi Performance RAM
MSI G4Ti4200-VTD8X128 video card
Western Digital 80GB 8MB buffer HDD
LITE ON 16X XJ-HD166S/165H DVD/CDROM
TDK VeloCD 40x12x40 CDRW
ChiefTec AX-01BLD SPX2 450W case
Thanks
Mike

Mike,
Yes round cables are the way to go and they connect the same way as your ribbon cables. I use VANTEC in my machines but there are many good manufacturers. Try this link to check for the best prices http://www.pricewatch.com/
The round cables are also very easy to tywrap out of the way for maximum airflow as you mentioned )

Coaxial cable for new build installation

Hi folks, We are waiting on the completion of a new build and as part of our list of requests of the developer they have agreed to fit Sky TV cables for us while they are doing the rest of the first fix. We were invited round yesterday to view the work so far and it looks like they are fitting two runs of their standard coaxial cable rather than the "shotgun" type satellite cables that we're used to Sky installers fitting. Will this standard coax be suitable for HD and be future proof against UHD broadcasts? Many thanks!

It really depends on what type of coax it is. For best results it should be WF100 coax cable or its equivalent (foam dielectric, with both copper braiding and copper foil screening). Sky use 'shotgun' WF65, I believe.

HEY APPLE! What are upgrade policy plans for new systems shipping with 10.4

I just ordered a brand new Xserver, thinking that there would be some policy in place for brand new computers shipping with 10.4, to get the new version of OSX Leopard Server (without having to buy a retail copy) - however to my surprise, there is nothing currently in place.
Will there be an upgrade policy soon for users who have just ordered new computers, currently shipping with 10.4??? Or should we return recently ordered items, and stop ordering new systems until they start shipping with 10.5?

Assumptions such as this one are often a recipe for disappointment and/or for extra expenses; I've certainly learned to be cautious with these.
In this case, there is a policy that has been in place (AFAIK) since the Leopard announcement.
For details on and requirements of the Leopard upgrade policy, do read the [Mac OS X Up To Date|http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate> web site.
Those folks outside the Leopard upgrade window that are upgrading to Leopard (and that don't have a separately-purchased Right-to-Upgrade) will be purchasing and ordering the upgrade. You may end up purchasing an iLife upgrade, too — if you're using it, and not already at the current release — as Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server upgrades apparently do not include an iLife upgrade.

Which MB should i pick for new system?

Hi i'm new to the forum and just signed up. Sorry if this isn't posted in the right section. I'm about to build a new system with a AMD 64 +3700 (which i allready bought)
But i can't choose the right MB. Last time i built something it was 2 years ago. Much have changed :o
I've been looking at this MB for a while.
K8N Neo4-FI
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=651
I have 2 questions about it
1. I've read that the NB Fan is loud. Can i replace it with something else?
2. I haven't decide which video card to get. But i wonder if any of these 2 will fit cos of the NB?
Sapphire Radeon X1800XT 256MB GDDR3
XFX GeForce 7600GT 256MB GDDR3 XXX

Go for MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum
Yeah.. the Platinum is a more "feature rich" board & supposedly has a more tweakable BIOS as well. I like mine fine.

IMHO, we should wait to mature AM2 a little, and also as Richard has said to prices come down, but undoubtly that's the way to follow if you are planning to upgrade your system. There is no case upgrading now to 939, and in few months to AM2
Very true - if you have a decent pile of 939 parts, there's no real reason not to use them.
Quote from: Kafkacell on 28-May-06, 18:43:13
and also AMD has said that no more 939's are going to be developed, just the models that has been produced until now.
Now THAT is a rotten shame. It would have been nice to get 1 generation of 65nm, 939 CPU's as a "going away" present. Bet some of those would OC' like crazy...

How to do initialization for new system setup?

Hi, Experts:
I need your help! Can you tell me your suggestion please?
This is a new system setup. We are about to test on the Initialization/Delta process.
The data source is 2LIS_13_VDITM 7.0 version. The test is on the PSA.
I have done an EARLY Initialization. On R3 system, if a billing record is canceled, we are able to capture it in the RSA7. Then, we did a delta load which were successfully tranferred to BW system.
However, if I created a new order and push it to Billing, I am NOT able to find it on RSA7 of the Delta queue.
That would mean, the delta queue could not capture any new billing records.
Then, besides the early init, we tried to do an Initialization without Data Transfer in the hope that this could resolve the new records issue, it doesn't allow to do it, saying "no 2 initialization".
What is the right way to do initialization??
Thanks guys!!

Hello Sylvia,
Changing it to new delta mode need not clean out everything in BW.
its a change in R/3 side on how delta records will be pushed.
Delta queue will remain the same in R/3.
But since you have already missed some records and you are not sure which one.
Also the existing records in the delta queue are not the correct one as these are not bringing new records according to you.
So I will suggest you after you have done the changes to queued delta....do a fresh start.
Delete the data from the DSO.
1)delete the existing and do a new init without data transfer so that a new delta queue is created.
2)Fill the set up tables first and start the full repair loads to DSO.
3)once all the history is loaded then you can schedule the delta.
Thanks

Which firewire cable for new MacBook Pro and Canon HV20?

I just bought a new MacBook Pro and want to transfer video from my Canon HV20 camcorder (using FinalCut Express). The Canon instructions say to use a "DV cable" and I've learned that the MacBook Pro only has an "800 fire wire" port. Can someone give me the exact type of cable that I should get (even my local Apple Store couldn't help me).
Thanks!

I'm surprised that the folks at the Apple Store couldn't guide you. You just need a firewire cable with the proper fw400 connector on one end and a fw800 connector on the other. Here's one source for both cables and adapters:

No size history for SQL Database in dbacockpit for new system

Hello,
we have installed a new ERP 6.0 System on Windows with SQL Server 2005 (3 month ago)
Now we haven´t any data in datbase size historie in the dbacockpit.
The message is: No size history. Check the DB Collector status.
We checked already the state of Collector. It is running every 20 minutes and collect data for performance. But not for the growth of the database.
We also deleted the job at the SQL Agent and planned it new with the report MSSPROCS.
Does anyone have an idea whats the problem?
Best regards
Petra Wöritz

Hello all together,
we are facing the same problem until now.
I checked all the points you suggested:
- the performance collector job runs in client 000
- time zone is set to CET
- the SAPOSCOL is running
- no errors by executing the SQL statement EXECUTE sap_dbcoll
- no errors in SQL Job SAP_sid_SID_MSSQL_COLLECTOR
We don't have any data in size history.
But we found a error message in dev_w0:
C dbdsmss: DBSL26 SQL3621C Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK__#perfinfo_________0C5BC11B'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.#perfinfo'.The statement has been terminated
It occurs, when we try get the data of history in db02 (or dbacockpit).
The note 1171828 doen't fit.
We have already SAP_BASIS 701 0007
We've got a system with SAP_BASIS 702 0006
There the error is displayed in dbacockpit directly:
SQL-Fehler 2627: [Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]Violatio n of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK__#perfinfo________ _5A303401'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object
Any ideas?

Help with plan for new system

I was hoping to get a little expert advice on the system that I am planning on building. I was looking at picking up the "MSI Z68A-GD80 (B3)" motherboard, along with an Intel 510 SSD 120 gb drive. I am planning on partitioning the SSD into two drives, one for the max 64 gb ISRT cache, and the other with the rest of the space for the win7 prof 64 bit OS drive.
So my question is if the splitting of the SSD is possible like I mentioned?
and next, what should I pick for a data/app drive? I am not sure whether to go with my usual 2 drive raid-0 setup, or simply get one drive since I will be using ISRT. Any suggestions?
Another note, after I read about booting from USB devices, I plan on skipping the floppy drive
Thank you for any input.

Booting of USB device can be set as a priority in BIOS.
SSD is like any HDD, just do the partitioning during setup.
RAID wise, it is up to your preference. Speed or Mirroring or Balance?

Post installation for Portal and errors for new system

I've recently installed a NW 7 based ABAPJAVA System with Portal Components (EPEP Core) on Windows + Oracle for demo.
1 ) Since, I am facing a lot of errors after the installation, I think I have missed to carry out some post-install steps. Can someone please suggest on the post-installation steps in some detail ??
2) When I try to open the newly installed portal using http://fqdn_host:50000/irj ; the browser shows some exception has occurred: However, I tried to restart the system (everything including db) as suggested in some of the other links and login went fine.
After I logged in to the portal (/irj) as j2ee_admin; I am trying to open Content Administration --> Portal Content OR System Administration -> Transport OR --> System Configuration etc ; but I am getting the error coded below::

Thanks,

Hi Jay,
Please check that server is Running but not able to open some application. I would suggest to check the Enviromental Variable for My Computer :-
- Database Enviromental variable is added or not under "user vairable for <UserID for Server Desktop>
- Check JAVA_HOME Enviromental variable is added or not under "System Variable'
Check at (My computer > Properties >> Advance >> Startup and Recovery >> Enviromental Variable >> System Variables/User varaible
Update your server IP address and host name in host file entry at (RUN > drivers > etc > host file) and check database server services (Run > Services.msc >> Start your database services manually and change prperties as automatic)
Then try to open portal URL http://<Host>:<Port>/irj/portal or http://<Host>:<Port>/index.html
Hope it helps
Regards

I7-920 obsolete for new systems? Plus i7-980 info.

Effective February 28 Intel is adding a newer CPU chip, it is the i7-930 to its line of LGA 1366 x58 chips . It has a base speed of 2.88 GHZ. Apparently Intel plans to drop the current i7-920.
If you Europeans are interested in the new top of the line 6 core monster here it is also

I missed the editing deadline.
Be careful about upgrading an existing computer, you more than likely will need a upgraded BIOS to support any of these new chips.
I suspect that US online stores should be aware of these CPU's by Monday

Seeking Recommendations for New System

I’m planning to upgrade my son’s Pentium II computer with the following components. Please give constructive comments for improvements, realizing that this is my limit in regard to costs:
MOBO – MSI K7N2 Delta-L or MSI KT6V-LSR or MSI KT4VL
Graphics Card --
RADEON 9600 PRO 128MB DDR AGP 8X W/TV-OUT/DVI or RADEON 9600 256MB DDR WITH CRT/DVI/TV-OUT or RADEON 9800SE 128MB W/TV OUT
CPU – AMD Athlon 2500+ Barton

Well, I can say, don't buy the 256mb vid card cuz its slower than the 128mb cards. And yes I do regret buying the one I have right now instead of a regular 128.
You can read this thread about one user's choice and why.
About the mobo, well... I like Intel chips better and don't have much experience with the amd setups, but I did notice that the deltas are often used in overclocking and have been proven as stable and reliable.
Please keep in mind that these are only opinions.
In reality, whatever you choose in that list will make for a good setup... exept for most 256mb vid cards(the high end ones are better, but not in everyones price range).
Good luck.
(EDIT) Oh and so that you know, 9800 is better than 9600, and rankings go like this:
se -> cheap alternative to the real thing
no ranking (known as non pro) -> the real thing as the were when they came out
pro -> performance version
xt -> super performance version
,and an 9600 xt is almost as good as a 9800 se (actually very close to it)
Ask around in the vid card forum for more input from others.
And the mobo, well like I said, I ain't no pro with the amd setups.

Incompatible older power cables with new MacBook Pro

New MacBook Pro has MagSafe power cord. I had 3 power cords for previous MacBookPro, at various work stations. Is there a safe adaptor available to convert old power cables for new MagSafe ports?

How do I prepare my iMac for sale? And best practice for transferring media to a new system.

This is my first time posting in a forum, so I will apologize in advance if I'm doing something wrong. I've tried to search for a very clear answer to my questions in the existing discussions, but have not had much luck.
I ordered a Macbook Pro today and would like to sell my current iMac to supplement some of the cost. I purchased my iMac in March of 2011 with OS X Snow Leopard preinstalled. I've since updated to Mountain Lion. When my computer came in it did not have OS DVDs, so I am not sure exactly how to take it back to factory default and remove ALL of my information safely in order to prepare it for sale. I'm afraid to tell it to format if I am going to need a boot disc/drive to reinstall the OS. I've been trying to research all day and have learned that I will not be able to sell it with the current OS, only the one that came with the computer at the time of purchase (to the best of my understanding).
Secondary to all of this, I have a question about backing up info and porting it to my new system. I have run the Time Machine backup to my external hard drive. However, I DO NOT want to port it to my new MBP as an image of my past machine. I did that when I got my iMac from my old MBP and my iMac thinks it is a MBP (MBP EFI/SMC Firmware Update Icons in my system utilities folder as well as identified as a Macbook Pro on my network). I've never been able to get all of these things to go away and I feel like it's chewing up hard drive space for no purpose whatsoever. I also worry that it could create system issues that I'm just not savy enough to catch before they are beyond control. That being said, I'd like to begin fresh with my new MBP. What is the best method of bringing my photos from iPhoto and music/movies/books/etc from iTunes to my new system? My word documents are easy enough...I keep 3 flash drives updated with them at all times.
Thanks in advance!

Whoever said you can't sell you iMac with the current Mac OS X is wrong, I believe.
Unfortunately, it is not wrong.
Any OS purchased/obtained at the app store - as is the case here - is not transferable. The license is tied forever to the Apple ID used to obtain it. The SLA states that the seller needs to erase the drive and reinstall the original system.
@ Kamikazwe:
You can call Apple and give them your serial number and they will send you copies of your original disks at a nominal charge.
You do need to use your original Snow Leopard disk, boot from it, erase the drive, and reinstall Snow Leopard. The buyer of the machine will need to purchase his/her own copy of Lion or Mountain Lion with their own Apple ID or they will never be able to reinstall or update the OS.
SLA Excerpt:
3. Transfer.
A. If you obtained the Apple Software preinstalled on Apple-branded hardware, you may make a one-time permanent transfer of all of your license rights to the Apple Software (in its original form as provided by Apple) to another party, provided that: the Apple Software is transferred
together with your Apple-branded hardware; (ii) the transfer must include all of the Apple Software, including all its component parts, printed materials and this License; (iii) you do not retain any copies of the Apple Software, full or partial, including copies stored on a computer or
other storage device; and (iv) the party receiving the Apple Software accepts the terms andcconditions of this License. For purposes of this License, if Apple provides an update (e.g., version 10.8 to 10.8.1) to the Apple Software, the update is considered part of the Apple
Software and may not be transferred separately from the pre-update version of the Apple Software.
B. If you obtained your license to the Apple Software from the Mac App Store, it is not transferable. If you sell your Apple-branded hardware to a third party, you must remove the Apple Software from the Apple-branded hardware before doing so, and you may restore your system to the version of the Apple operating system software that originally came with your Apple hardware (the “Original Apple OS”) and permanently transfer the Original Apple OS together with your Apple hardware, provided that: the transfer must include all of the Original
Apple OS, including all its component parts, printed materials and its license; (ii) you do not retain any copies of the Original Apple OS, full or partial, including copies stored on a computer or other storage device; and (iii) the party receiving the Original Apple OS reads and agrees to
accept the terms and conditions of the Original Apple OS license.
