Shouldn't the 7800 should have 512MB RAM?

Hi all,
I was just wondering, the 7800GT in my Quad only has 256MB of Video RAM, and this is the standard version that Apple offers. However, according to the nVidia website, all 7800 cards (including the Mac version) ship with 512MB.
What's the deal?
Thanks,

Nvidia had 4 versions of the G70 chip on 2 different PCBs.
The GT version was on a distinct PCB and used 20 Pixel Pipes and ran at 400/500 Mhz.
The GTX came in 2 different versions, 256 Meg & 512 Meg , on a PSB slightly longer than the GT one. These had 24 Pixel pipes. The 256 Meg version ran around 430/1200 while the 512 version was ultra-rare & used expensive 1.1ns RAM. This coupled with hand-picked primo cores allowed this card to run at 550/1700. This jump in RAM speed represents a significant bandwidth jump.
Neither of these GTX card were offered for Mac by Apple or Nvidia.
The final version of the G70 was the Quadro, which uses same PCB as the GTX cards and thus also has 24 Pixel pipes, but runs around 470/1300.
Thus, there was a faster G70 than our Quadro.
The 7900 has followed a similar naming scheme with it's G71 processor, with the change that speeds for GPU have jumped 100 Mhz or so and all of the cards now have 24 Pixel Pipes.
Have a read at Barefeats.com. Some BRILLIANT folks have managed to get the Mega 512 card running in Mac
And you can always hope that Apple will give the PPC a 21 Gun Salute with a 7950 upgrade as a swan song.

    I have my catalog "Back Up Each Time Lightroom Exits" checked, and always have. That means the catalog should have been backed-up and saved everyday, if not more than once on some dates. So with a a major problem now and needing to use the Catalog backup from last Friday, I go to my Lightroom Backups folder - and the most recent one showing not only isn't yesterday, it's OCTOBER 28 !?? Where the hell are the daily backups between October 28 and November 14?

    Oh wow - JET LAG strikes agin - my apologies; I have located the missing weeks of back-ups. After getting home from a 30-day trip to Europe, I had changed the location of my LR catalog back-ups to an external drive, and forgot that I did that. I have found them, and all is good.

    Ok those are the specs of my machine
    It was bought June 05 and came with 10.3.
    I then installed 10.4 and have updated to 10.4.4.
    In October I was editing a large DVD file and my mac became really slow. I thought it was bc my HD was too full (which it was). so then I bought an ext HD and transferred heaps of data over..
    But it was still really slow, the same as before.
    I am pretty sure it came with 512mb ram and is supposed to. I don't remember what it said when I first bought it but I'm pretty sure it would've been 512.
    I have not tampered with or opened the RAM slot.
    I bought the PB from a reputable apple reseller here in Sydney so I doubt they would've done anything dodgy. I called them and they confirmed it should've had 512. They also told me if there are major probs it will take up to 4 weeks to fix.
    Since I can't live without my computer for 4 weeks (!!) I thought I could figure it out by myself.
    Any ideas?
    thanks.

    Hi Livia,
    I had the same problem with my PowerBook. Suddenly 128MB of RAM disappeared and the computer became slow. I was sure I had 512MB of RAM.
    You should check in the System Profiler under Diagnostics if there is an error.
    In my case, System Profiler reported an error with the user-replaceable RAM. I installed another RAM (1gb stick) the computer only recognized half the RAM from the chip and System Profiler was still reporting an error.
    Now I must to take the powerbook to the technical service because the problem is in the logic board, not with the RAM.

  • So I had my photostream on when i first go it but then I turned it off and the photos should have been deleted. Somehow when I go to my settings usage photos, it still shows me that it takes up 2.3GB. How do I delete this?

    Some help would be appreciated.

    When you look at that button that says "Photos & Camera" and shows you the 2.3GB number, it should have an arrow at the right side.
    Click the button.  It will break down where the 2.3GB are located.  They may, for example, be on your camera roll.

  • HT4847 Why is there only 5GB of Free iCloud Storage for the iOS Devices? Shouldn't the iDevices that have larger storage capacities than other iDevices, have more than 5GB of Free iCloud Storage offered?

    I have a 32GB, 4th Generation iPod Touch, with only 5GB of free iCloud Storage offered. Why should I pay more for iPod Storage, when I receive the same amount of iCloud Storage as the iDevices with less iPod Storage? I understand the Marketing/Business point of view. However, it should appear that it is only logical to increase the offered capacity of free iCloud Storage to those of whom that have purchased an Apple Device with larger storage capacities.

    It boils down to that is what Apple does. Just like you don't get a big computer discount if you use your computer more than I do. I don't get a better job because I'm smarter than you are. It's the way things are. You have no more entitlement to something than I do.
    As for "business?" Of course it's business. Everything is business. To think this is special just to Apple is to ignore reality.
    With iCloud storage we start on a level field - 5 GBs free. Thereafter, it's pay as you go.

  • The N96 should have been released on April Fools d...

    Hi All
    Im really sorry to rant but I just got my N96 upgrade this morning and will be sending it back for my first ever Sony Erricson this afternoon.
    Its HUGE, slower than my N95 8GB and the vast majority of functions do not work. I am totally unable to transfer my files from one phone to another, upgrade the firmware or even copy music to the device. The camera takes blurry pictures (nothing covering the lens) and the speakers sound worse than my N95's.. Even after 18months use!
    I have been a Nokia user since the 402. Vodafone charged me £20 for the pleasure of upgrading to the Nokia N96 (apparently due to die-hard fans and Nokia being greedy) but im deeply dissapointed and feel its nothing more than a bad joke.
    To the end of an era!
    IHA
    If you were to cut my arm off it would read 'Nokia / Symbian' like a stick of rock.
    6680, N70, N73, N95, N95 8GB, N96

    you're all right.n96 is the biggest flop of nokia in 2008 in high end fones.nokia should take care about the quality control , which is in ruins for many regions, if not finland.my n81 went to the nokia care twice in two months and was finally replaced the third time!!.poor correspondence is what is rendered by team nokia.one can see the nokia care centres flooding nowadays(i do accept the mobiles increase manifold every year,but still see the kind of complaints....)
    Nokia better take care of the quality control as it is not too late to lose the majority of the customers who trust nokia >>

  • Html output genreated by the xsl should have a single quote

    hi
    i am trying to convert the xml into html .
    For one particular field i need to invoke a javscript method on
    click. a value has to be passed to this javascript method. for
    this i need a single quote or a double quote to come in the
    output.
    <a href ="javascript:loadPage('Student')"/> is what my output
    should look like but i ma getting it as
    <a href ="javascript:loadPage(&apos;Student&apos)"/> which is
    invalid.
    i am constructing the string like
    <xsl:variable name="pageName" select="'Student'"/>
    <a>
    <xsl:attribute name="href">
    <xsl:value-of select="concat('javascript:loadPage
    (',&apos;,$pageName,&apos;,')')"/>
    </xsl:attribute>
    Also i tried declaring a variable and using it instead of &apos;
    <xsl:varaible name="squote">'</xsl:variable>
    how to overcome this problem ?

    This was a bug in 9.0.1
    It's fixed in 9.0.2. For example, using the following slight
    modification of your example with 9.0.2D Beta, I get the right
    answer:
    <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
    <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:variable name="pageName" select="'Employee'"/>
    <xsl:variable name="apos">&apos;</xsl:variable>
    <a>
      <xsl:attribute name="href">
        <xsl:value-of select="concat('javascript:loadPage(',
                                     $apos,
                                     $pageName,
                                     $apos,
                                     )"/>
      </xsl:attribute>
    foo
    </a>
    </xsl:template>
    </xsl:stylesheet>Notice that I've created a variable named apos and use
    that in the concat() instead of directly using the character
    reference. This makes things clearer, I think, and easier to
    look at visually.

  • Each item in the delivery should have separate invoice

    HI friends,
    who to do separated invoice for each item of the delivery, even if the bill to party and billing dates are same.
    thanks
    nitchel

    Hi,
    Rather than block individual items manually each time an invoice is raised, a copy control routine can be written in which you can modify item level split criteria which is explained below in detail.
    In VOFM transaction, go to 'Data Transfer' and choose 'Billing Documents'. You can see a list of routines which can be used in copy control configuration. Define a new routine in this list (501 for example).
    Copy the piece of code from routine 001 (include FV60C001) to this new routine and add another field 'POSNR' to the structure ZUK. Copy delivery item number to ZUK-POSNR (ZUK-POSNR = LIPS-POSNR) before ZUK gets assigned to VBRK-ZUKRI.
    Then assign this routine in the item level copy control of delivery to billing of the respective document types. This will ensure that as many invoices get generated as there are delivery items.
    But before that, decide the scope for this invoice split, i.e. for what document types / organizational units, etc. this is required. These checks may be added as initial conditions in the routine before LIPS-POSNR is copied to ZUK.
    Cheers,
    KC
    PS: I had earlier tried some other split criteria which worked fine. If this doesn't work as it is described above, you may have to do minor fine tuning but the idea of splitting invoices by tweaking ZUKRI will certainly work.

  • Shouldn't the 6850 Cyclone have 2x6pin?

    Instead of the current 1x6pin standard of the reference 6850? Seeing how it is factory-overclocked and advertised to overclock even more, it should handle more power than the 150 watt limit of a single 6 pin power connector.
    According to http://www.guru3d.com/article/msi-radeon-6850-cyclone-power-review/8, the 6850 Cyclone's load power consumption is 137 watts, one less than the reference 6870, that was outfitted with 2x6pin power.
    Hence, the reason why ASUS probably came out with a revision 2 of their DirectCU 6850; to add a second 6 pin?
    I would really like to know more about the card's limits before I go ahead and buy it, I'm not bashing MSI or anything

    it should handle more power than the 150 watt limit of a single 6 pin power connector.
    The PCI-E slot supplies up to 75W watts. Officially, a single PCI-E 6-pin connector will supply up to 75W watts but I've read it should be able to supply more:
    "Nonetheless, the 6 pin PCI Express power cable officially provides only 75 watts. In all likelihood, however, real implementations of this power cable can provide far more than 75 watts."
    http://www.playtool.com/pages/psuconnectors/connectors.html
    If you look at the overclock page on the Guru3D review, you'll see they manage quite a decent overclock so I don't see that there's really an issue with it having a single PCI-E 6-pin power connector. If it wasn't getting enough power it wouldn't run would it?

  • The emoji language should have a giraffe emoji!!!!!

    The emoji should have a giraffe emoji!! how about that?

    It would be pretty difficult, I would think, to squeeze a recognizable giraffe into such a small image. But you can make your suggestion to the Unicode Technical Committee. They are, I believe, the ones who set the standards for emoji characters.

  • StateManager should have the chance to encode URLs

    IMHO, the StateManager should have a chance to encode state information into URLs. Implementations could encode some kind of proprietary session id or put the whole state in an optimized shape into the URL. This is important if an application runs in client state saving mode and must not lose state if the user clicks on a hyperlink.
    My suggestion is to give the StateManager an encodeURL method and specify that the encodeXxxURL methods of the ExternalContext must call it prior to delegation to ServletResponse or PortletResponse.
    Manfred
    mailto:[email protected]
    http://myfaces.sourceforge.net

    Even better solution:
    The ViewHandler gets a new method
    public String encodeURL(FacesContext facesContext, String url) throws IOExceptionHyperlinkRenderers should (must) call this method to encode the href attribute.
    Default ViewHandler implementation calls encodeResourceURL in ExternalContext. In addition to that, If state saving in client is used, a state marker may be added to the url.
