Spec'ing Windows Hardware for QT

I am trying to map some QT hardware requirements to currently available systems. My primary concern is processor.
From the QT requirements, For 1280x720 (720p) video at 24-30 frames per second:
(Windows)
* 2.8 GHz Pentium 4 or faster processor
* At least 512MB of RAM
* 64MB or greater video card
* Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Vista
How would this map to the 2 most common currently available laptop processor choices (Intel). I see Celeron processors and Core 2 Duo processor choices. Is there a good way to map the 2.8 GHz P4 requirement in to one of these choices? I would hate to purchase a system and have it not meet minimum requirements.

How about Linux vs Solaris? Linux wasn't as viable
an option for us a few years back, but it is now?
Any place I can go to compare the two based on cost
and other factors?Again, the comparison is going to depend heavily on particulars about your environment. For example:
- Do you have a lot of Solaris expertise in house? Do you have a lot of Linux expertise? The cost of retraining employees and of employees operating less productively for a while generally makes any operating system switch difficult to justify on a cost basis.
- Do you have software/ scripts/ etc. that run on Solaris and rely on the existence of particular utilities & APIs? Does all that code run on Linux, or would you be rewriting stuff?
- Do you use some of the high-end Solaris features that may not be available on Linux?
- Would you need support for your Linux system? If so, which of many vendors, including Oracle, would you choose?
- Would your architecture change if you moved to Linux? Would you, for example, be inclined to move to a RAC cluster of smaller servers rather than a single larger server? The economics there depend on lots of things, including the Oracle edition.

  • I was advised to purchase dazzle video creator to move analog videos from an old sony camcorder to a mac.  I have purchased the dazzle and the specs seem to be for windows only.  Has anyone used this product on mac?

    I am not certain, but I believe there is a version of Dazzle for the Mac. However, it is not the route I would chose.
    You really need a proper analogue to digital converter, like the ADVC110, to connect to your camera via the usual RCA cables, and to your Mac via firewire.

  • Server Hardware for Oracle Database 11g Release 2 with Oracle Spatial

    Hi ,
    We're to set up an Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Enterprise with Oracle Spatial.
    Can you provide me the possible Server Hardware CPU / Memory specs , number of CPUs,type of OS and teh Model, for Spatial which a million users hits the database via a webservice?
    The vendor suggested us SDD instead of HDD, any performance hike on this?
    Budget seems to okay but I think Exadata will be too dear.
    Your insights is much appreciated.Anything relating to setting up a server with spatial is greatly appreciated.
    P/S: Been a programmer and don't knwo much about server hardware specs.

    It depends.
    Seriously - before anyone can offer anything but generalities here you need to really define exactly what you expect the database to deliver.
    In general however, I will throw out these questions and ideas...
    For instance - you say a million users "hit" the database (via a web service). Is that WFS, WMS, KML or ???
    Over - how long? A year? A month? A minute? A million hits over a year spread out evenly is only about 2 per minute.
    And what is a hit? A single random record? Or about 10,000 records in the same spatial area... or? And for each record - are you returning simple point data - or hugely complex polygons with thousands of vertexes each?
    How does this software work? Is it custom - or is it well known? Does it really query the database for every map (I assume it is a map service) feature - or does it read an area once and cache it in the middle tier? Or does it do something really smart and use cached tiles for static data - overlayed with vectors for dynamic data?
    And although you say Oracle Spatial - are you really using Spatial - or just Locator functions (less processing in general)? And if spatial - are you doing raster in the db - or 3D analysis - or other special functionality?
    SSD vs. HDD. - If you can buy a server with more RAM than the data set size (pretty easy these days) - and you do mostly reads (almost always the case for a map app) - buy a small cheap array of RAID'd HDD's - internal to the server is fine. Once the data is read into RAM - the HDD's do basically nothing.
    Server CPU and memory. Amount - see above. CPU Speed (use performance benchmarks - not GHz numbers) AND memory speed (often overlooked) - buy as fast as possible. Why? You pay for licenses by the core (2 cores per license for x64). And HW is MUCH MUCH MUCH cheaper than Oracle licenses. Plan to upgrade HW every year if necessary to avoid buying more licenses (sounds crazy - but it is much cheaper).
    This may seem like a lot - but these questions are just the tip of the iceberg. I have been in charge of spec'ing, building, and programming spatial systems now for about 20 years, so I have a pretty good idea of how to do enterprise scale computing on a Ramon-noodle budget.
    Smart clean software is your friend - don't ask the HW to do anything unless absolutely necessary (cache results and reuse as much as possible), and you can get crazy performance from minimal hardware.

  • Update DISM in WinPE, Windows ADK for Windows 8.1 Update

    Windows ADK for Windows 8.1 Update, creates WinPE with DISM version 6.3.9600.16384.
    Latest build of Windows 8.1 Pro Build 9600, dated 22/11/2014, has DISM version 6.3.9600.17031.
    Have run the Windows ADK setup again, but says NO Updates available.
    Have created listings of all the DISM files in WinPE and Windows 8.1, but reluctant to copy files across, as I assume that registration / registry changes are also required.
    Does anyone know how we can update the version of DISM in WinPE to 6.3.9600.17031?
    Thanks, John

  • Oh my lord, where can I get windows drivers for Macbook Pro?....

    Does Apple really not have any place that I can download Windows drivers for the hardware in my August 2010 Macbook Pro?!?  I am trying to use windows through bootcamp, and I am having tons of trouble.  I know there are supposed to be drivers in the OSX DVD that came with my computer, but that is all the way back in Maryland and I go to school in Tennessee.
    <rant> Sorry if I seem irritated.  I just got over a total hard drive crash in this computer that isn't even 2 years old.  I have drives that are almost 10 years old in my PC desktop..  The drive that came stock with my Macbook pro was a total piece of crap in comparison to the cheapest notebook drives at Best Buy.  Really Apple?? 5400 RPM 8mb Cache Hitachi drive?? *Pukes in mouth* </rant>

    Sorry for the rant.  This is what happens everytime I have tried.  I actually have a booting Windows 7 partition on here already but it is barely running on the stock/generic windows drivers that are just there to get the OS through install. 
    I have an OSX 10.6 disk, but it is 10.6.0, and I wasn't even able to make that boot into the Mac installer when I installed OSX on the new hard drive.  I had to run my Macbook as a Firewire disk plugged into a Mac Pro and install it from there and update to 10.6.8.  I think this was because the 10.6.0 install disk doesn't have drivers for my 2010 revision of the Macbook Pro.  I doubt that the 10.6.0 disk has the right Windows drivers if it doesn't even have the right Mac drivers.

  • Windows 2000 for Zen Neeon 2/ Zen V Pl

    Hi, I am interested in purchasing either of the above 2 models. However, I've read on the Specifications page that both players require Window XP for use, and the problem is that my current laptop is only equipped with Windows 2000. But is Windows 2000 still able to be use with the above 2 models?
    I have also been told that Win XP is only required if I wanna transfer videos. But if I am only transferring the songs, the Win 2000 is sufficient enough then. Can the tech personnel or anyone advice or confirm on that?
    Thanks alot in advance.

    I HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM!!!! mine is also only less than a week old. before i bought it i saw it stated on the website?that you could transfer data by just dragging and dropping. So?i dragged and dropped the files into the Neeon2 for the first time 2 days ago and safely removed the hardware. but?it couldn't be switched on anymore. at first it responded to the charger [not a creative charger] so i thought it was just low on battery.after charging, i could switch it on and use it normally. but today [the battery was still?full]?i tried transferring videos in, and once i disconnected the player it died on me again. this time it doesn't respond to the charger!?so i read the manual and?apparently you have to install the Creative Media Explorer program and click on some icon first to transfer your data and convert your videos.?so is it because i didn't convert the videos this time?now i really have no idea what to do with it. because it doesn't respond to my charger anymore and there's no way i can switch it on. i tried uninstalling the Creative Media Explorer and deleting all files from the computer. wanted to reinstall the program again, but when i inserted the CD [provided in the pacakge] to install the program again, the computer couldn't detect the CD. what on earth is wrong with Creative products?! i bought this because my friend recommended Creative to me but i certainly didn't anticipate such problems to happen to a BRAND NEW MP4. i need the voice recorder for school purposes urgently and i can't believe it has given me so many problems in just 2 days. what should i do?

  • Blue tooth driver for windows 7 for samsung galaxy s5

    I was told by Samsung that they don't provide the blue tooth driver for Windows 7 for their Galaxy S5 cellphone. They said that the maker of the PC is responsible for that. I don't see any drivers for blue tooth devices of any kind being provided by HP, so I'm thinking that what the Samsung rep can't be correct. Nonetheless, I'm posting this post in hopes someone may know if there 1. is a driver and 2. where to get it. I have a HP Media Center m7050y (PX153AV) CTO Desktop PC that is running Windows 7 Ultimate. I of course have a blue tooth doggle in one of my USB ports and it is working correctly. I know this because I have other blue tooth devices running. Any help will be appreciated.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi,
    You have a functioning  blue tooth dongle.
    Other blue tooth devices are working correctly.
    Samsung would have to provide blue tooth driver support. Or contact the blue tooth dongle manufacturer for assistance.
    Your HP PC shipped with Win XP. Blue tooth driver support/ hardware was not available when your PC was manufactured.

  • What kind of mac pro specs should I have for video editing?

    I am running the media department for Skagit Valley College and am in charge of editing for our online content. I am currently using an imac with FCP6 but am spending way too much time rendering. I am wondering about what kind of specs I should consider for building a mac pro to cut down on some of that time as well as setting up an audio recording studio. Microphones, cables, software, and hardware specs are all issues that puzzle me at the moment as far as what is going to be the best fit for my productions...
    please help
    -anthony

    Virtually any Mac Pro 6-core or up will work well, but obviously the more cores the better. Save the budget by adding your own RAM (I like 2GB per core) and hard drives (3TB Hitachi 7200 RPM drives are a good value) from reputable vendors. Avoid "green" drives that use lower spindle speed to save energy.
    Get the fastest available video board (currently the 5870) and consider consider dial third party displays (I'm using a pair of 27" Samsungs, half the price of a single Apple 27) and look into a Matrox MXO2 mini to handle your grading monitor.
    Get a copy of Final Cut Studio (2009) ASAP while it's still available and talk to your Apple rep about additional licenses if needed. If you know FCP6 and like it, you need to "bunker" the app and ignore FCP X until it fleshes out.
    If you need more help, let me know...  I've been on FCP since version 3 and I'm a native Washingtonian. Just don't call me Homie! 
    Good luck!

  • Spec'ing a system -- where to direct the $$ ??

    Greetings -
    I'm spec'ing a new system for, among other things, running Lightroom, and was wondering, all other things being equal (which they never are),
    where the typical bottlenecks will lay.  Or lie.
    Typically, I'll be cataloging/editing RAW images that are 10-15MB in size.  And this is a hobby, not a business.
    My goal is to get a computer that's fast enough, without spending more than I have to.
    And let's assume that, for now, I'm only going to have one monitor, but an upgrade
    path for two monitors would be nice (and what does that entail, anyway -- a second graphics card? --
    simultaneous use of onboard graphics and graphics card?).
    First question -- any reason I might need more than 4GB of RAM and, if so, under what circumstances?
    Second question -- do I need a video card, or are onboard graphics likely sufficient? -- And if I do need a graphics card,
    what's 'good enough'?(My research suggests that killer video cards are really for gaming and/or 3D rendering.)
    Third question -- do I need anything faster than a recent generation dual-core (be it AMD or Intel) processor?
    Fourth questions -- any suggestions/caveats as far as hard drive optimization?
    (i.e. - how hardcore does it get? -- OS on one drive, app on a second, images on a third, scratch file on a fourth ... ?)
    Seasoned wisdom welcome.
    Thanks kindly.

    I have an dual-core AMD Athlon X2 2.6GHz on a previous generation motherboard with 8 GB RAM (no difference to 4GB for me) and a single 250GB hard drive. Built-in graphics. I built it myself with some 450$ two years ago.
    Everything work just fine with a single catalog with some 17K images.
    My goal is to get a computer that's fast enough, without spending more than I have to.
    Then just by a low-to-medium-end modern system. Any modern computer is faster than my system and is good enough for LR.
    And let's assume that, for now, I'm only going to have one monitor, but an upgrade
    path for two monitors would be nice (and what does that entail, anyway -- a second graphics card? --
    simultaneous use of onboard graphics and graphics card?).
    My advice is to use the built-in for now and add a descrete card later when you ger the monitor. Most modern motherboard with built-in graphics has a DVI and/or VGA port.
    First question -- any reason I might need more than 4GB of RAM and, if so, under what circumstances?
    I had 4GB with Vista 64 for some time and never seen Lightroom reach that limit. Even on large exports and preview rebuilding. I added 4 more because it's dirt cheap and wanted to stay safe running with the page file off.
    Second question -- do I need a video card, or are onboard graphics likely sufficient? -- And if I do need a graphics card,
    what's 'good enough'?(My research suggests that killer video cards are really for gaming and/or 3D rendering.)
    On-board graphics, as above. But in case you end up buying a decrete card (e.g. MB without on-board video), today the low-end Radeons - 4350, 4550 are best for a non-gaming machine. They are passive cooled - no noise from fans, running cool, usually have two digital ports, cost 30-50$ and have more than enough power for desktop grapchis.
    Third question -- do I need anything faster than a recent generation dual-core (be it AMD or Intel) processor?
    If your goal is "a computer that's fast enough, without spending more than I have to" - then, certainly, no.
    Fourth questions -- any suggestions/caveats as far as hard drive optimization?
    If we are talking about a cheap machine, then in a typical two hard-drive configuration:
    1. OS, Apps, Catalog/previews
    2. images.
    Let me explain. If you computer is optimized and clean, i.e. no anti-virus fooling around scanning your Lightroom cache, or search indexer/prefetcher/defender messing with your hard-drive, then the first drive during normal operation is almost totally dedicated to Lightroom. The second, naturally, too, since it only has the image files.
    If you want to go more upper-end with your disk subsystem, then:
    1. OS, apps - there's definitely no reason for splitting these.
    2. Catalog/previews only. - get the fastest drive here: a small fast SSD, such as OCZ Vertex or Intel X25-M.
    3. Images. A big reasonably fast HDD.

  • Disable USB driver installation from searching Windows Updates for software

    Hello,
    When a plug-n-play device is connected to a Windows 7 system, the system by default tries to search Windows update for compatible drivers.  I have a preconfigured driver store on each system that will have the drivers for all of the USB devices we care
    about so I'd like to search the local driver store first before searching for Windows updates.  
    I found the option that controls this under System Properties > Advanced system settings > Hardware tab > Device Installation Settings.  I have set this option before my machines run through sysprep, however, sysprep appears to be resetting
    the option back to the Windows default (Yes, do this automatically) and ignores what I set it to.
    I have a reg key that I'm running post-sysprep, but I'd like to avoid this as it's an extra step and I don't want to have to account for it long-term.  My question is, is there a way to set this option in my sysprep unattend file?  

    If this is a domain joined machine, this can be set by a Group Policy Object;
    Open Group Policy Management Editor.
    In the navigation pane, open Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Internet Communication Management\Internet
    Communication settings.
    In the details pane, double-click Turn off Windows Update device driver searching.
    Do one of the following:
    To turn off searching Windows Update, click Enabled.
    To allow searching Windows Update, click Disabled.
    Click OK to save your settings.
    Instructions taken from: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc730606(v=ws.10).aspx
    If this PC is not on the domain (but is Pro) you may be able to set the same option on the Local Group Policy (GPEDIT.MSC).
    Kind Regards

  • Change icon & window title - for Mac projectors? (but not Zinc)

    I need to change the icon and window title for a Mac projector made with CS5 (on Windows).
    I know there are a few solutions for the Windows exe.
    But I can't find an affordable solution for the Mac projector. Any ideas?
    I tried the Windows version of Zinc, it created exactly what I need for both the PC and Mac - but there's no way I'm paying $800+ for Zinc just to change the icon and window title.

    My feeling was that there was a residual window spec left
    over from a previous build. (You can go on adding windows via
    Project>Windows rightclick.)
    Now - if you Open <yourprojectname>.hpj the project
    summary is displayed in dialog format. The first line reads 'This
    file is maintained by HCW. Do not modify this file directly.'
    Nevertheless, it is possible to do so - doubleclick on any of the
    sections to bring up an editable dialog on its settings. There are
    buttons at right, too, that replicate several of the doubleclicks.
    I'm annoyed that I can't remember which file stores all this data
    in an accessible form.
    In the General tab of the resulting Windows dialog there are
    the options to Add, Remove and Include window types and enter/edit
    Title texts. It's worth having a look at what's shown here just in
    case there is an Include being copied from another (and possibly no
    longer available?) project file.
    Perhaps try this (having backed up, of course!!):
    1 Note the required spec for your second window.
    2 Open the .hpj windows dialog and Remove any and all windows
    apart from Main.
    3 Open the project and see if the ghost is still there.
    4 Is it??
    (No-one else going back this far?)

  • Got Display driver via Windows Update for Windows 8.1 and try to use it for Windows Server 2012 R2

    Hi Everyone,
    the following driver cab is from Windows Update:
    https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=5be01620eea95d8c&id=5BE01620EEA95D8C!138&ithint=file,.cab&authkey=!APDi54-R1Ob5IWQ
    It includes this display driver:
    Intel(R) Q45/Q43 Express Chipset (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.1)
    My problem is: I can't install this driver on Windows Server 2012 R2.
    I tried the following, nothing worked:
    a) pnputil -i -a intel.cab
    b) Extract cab, update the device's driver in device manager, select "search for driver software in this location"
    c) copy the files in system32/, system32/drivers, syswow64/ from a Windows 8.1 system to a Windows Server 2012 R2 system
    Isn't it true that any Windows 8.1 driver should also work for Windows Server 2012 R2 (same os version)?
    Thanks for your replies.

  • Windows hardware wizard

    I am new at this but here's my problem. I purchased a ni6601 counter timer pci bus card. I also got an eval version of labview. My intent is to program my application with borland but wanted to see what labview is all about. I installed labview first and then installed nidaq software that came with the hardware. When shutdown, install card and reboot, the windows hardware wizard pops up with found new hardware. The problem is, it can't find any drivers for the unit. I have to cancel the wizard. Looking in device manager, the unit appears with the yellow question mark (win 2k) and says no drivers installed or needed.
    Now I go to MAX. My unit is there and the test panels work fine. Go into Labview and the sample programs for this unit w
    ork fine too. I have not tried a borland application yet but I suspect it will run too.
    Why is the windows hardware wizard coming up everytime I boot and I have to cancel the wizard.

    Hello Mike,
    I am suspecting that you are having a Windows permissions problem, and there are a couple of things that you can do to help and determine what the problem might be. First off, are you logged in as an administrator or as a user that is within the administrative group? If not, then please try to obtain the proper permissions so that Windows doesn't restrict what you can access and modify.
    If that doesn't help any, then you should try a reinstallation of the driver. It sounds like you went about the correct installation procedure the first time, but something could have gone wrong that we are not aware of. First remove your hardware from Device Manager, and then uninstall NI-DAQ from Add/Remove Programs. Once done, shut down and remove the hardware, a
    nd then reinstall. I think you know the procedure well enough, so I'll leave that there.
    If the problem is still persisting, please post back with a little more information - what version of the driver, LabVIEW evaluation version, Windows Service Pack installed. It would be nice if you could even try and determine whether or not it is the hardware causing this problem, although I don't highly suspect it, by trying another plug-and-play PCI device - another NI board preferably. Also make sure that there are no conflicts with other devices which might already be installed and showing in Device Manager. If you have anti-virus software running, I also recommend disabling it during your troubleshooting experience as this type of software has caused multiple problems in the past.
    I hope that things are working better for you sometime soon. Keep us up to date on your steps.

  • Which version of windows 7 for bootcamp

    Hello...I tried searching past posts regarding this issue but didn't find what I was looking for.  I want to install Windows 7 via bootcamp on my new Feb' 2011 Macbook Pro, but I need to be sure whether or not there is a particular 'mac version' for Windows 7.  I know I have to get the full box copy/retail version (64 bit), but is there anything else I need to be particular about, in terms of a version more suitable for macs?  Or will that said version work?
    Thank you much

    There is no "Mac" version of Windows 7 for BootCamp.
    BootCamp sets up a partition and a Hybrid MBR, and provides drivers for your Mac's hardware to interface with the Window OS.
    http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    You must print out and read the instructions carefully. If you seem stuck in Windows upon booting, simply hold option while booting to get a choice of operating systems.
    The only thing I might consider is getting the Windows 7 Pro version, you can then download XP VirtualPC from Microsoft if you need to run XP programs.
    Once you get that setup, your going to run into a issue of always dual booting.
    Windows in Bootcamp partition gives full hardware performance, but at a cost of dual booting to each OS.
    Later on you might want to consider installing a virtual machine software like VMFusion or Parallels (or even VirtualBox) most of these can take your Bootcamped Windows and make a copy of it to run Windows in a window (like a file) in OS X.
    Catch here is you lose some performance, but gain a heck of a lot of functionality to swtich to any OS
    (even XP, Linux and other ones BootCamp doesn't support)
    I currently run 10 other operating systems on my machine, and another triple boots into Linux, OS X or Windows.
    You can have a lot of fun checking out other operating systems this way. Linux has a lot of free programs to use.

  • IPhone 6Plus on every reboot after putting in my password it opens to a small window asking for apple id password

    everything works on phone and wow it's big compared to my iPhone 5s. went with space grey since i have had 3 white phones in a row. restored via iCloud backup. updated iTunes as i have about 3,000 songs. 250 bought the rest ripped to AAC from my cc's....what a pain but switched from my windows desktop to this new rMBP late 2013 for xmas and iTunes is slightly different on a mac than windows and where everything is stored on drive.
    anyhow problem is every time i reboot after putting in my password and arriving at whatever page i left at i get a very small window asking for my Apple id password. Now the top half is pre filled in with the email address i use for iCloud/itunes/apple/etc.
    i did see in settings there is a checkmark i cannot remove that says for apple password "ask immediately" there are no other choices. it can't be unchecked by any method i found.
    any help appreciated.

    In case anyone else gets this I hit cancel once and it has never come back.
