Speculation: Neo2 with all four DDR slots filled

Can anyone speculate as to whether it will be reasonable (or even possible) to run 4 sticks of RAM in the soon-to-arrive (939) K8N Neo2 at DDR400, or better yet, at DDR433 or higher? I've got real perverse desire to run 2 gigs of RAM when I get my Neo2, but it would be a shame to settle for 333.
I'm aware that the Athlon64 memory controller doesn't officially support this situation, but I'm also aware that some users HAVE been able successfully to run DDR quantities and speeds beyond the controller's specs on the (754) Neo.
What do y'all think.
Thanks.

Dunni if, but maybe this helps:

The MSI K8N Neo2 was able to run with all 4 DIMM slots at the same aggressive 2-2-2-10 settings used for 2 DIMMs. However, as we have seen on the other 939 boards running all 4 DIMMs, Command Rate must be reduced to 2T when filling both Dual Channels.
The dialog above states 200mhz.
So my guess is: Yes even tough 2T might be a bit of a loss.

Noise level with all four hard drive bays utilized

Hello!
I've finally placed my order on a Mac Pro (Early 2009) after spending a lot of time figuring out what CPU and memory options that would best fit my needs (for those interested 2x2.26GHz, 12GB, ATI 4870). What I didn't order was the hard drives...
I've read (for older Mac Pros?) that if you put in hard drives in all four bays, the system that previously was very silent becomes somewhat noisy (due to vibrations?) - can anyone confirm if this is true?
My plan was to add 4xWestern Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 32MB 1TB, and set up a software RAID. I heard suggestions that it would be better having only one hard drive in the Mac Pro and to add an external RAID that you could switch off if not needed.
My other alternate is to add SSD drives to lower any noise (and to make the system a bit snappier).
Anyway.. would be interesting to know if the system becomes noticeably noisier with additional hard drives (might only be relevant for older systems <= 2008)!?
Thank you for all your help!
Best regards,
Stephan

Got four of them in my first generation MP and it's quiet as a mouse. However, if you do not assure that the drive mounting screws are tight and the trays properly pushed in, then there's a hum that can be quite annoying. Newer generation MPs I've heard now have rubber dampers for the drive mounting screws that should eliminate the hum problem we've had in the first generation model.

K8N Neo2 with 4 x 512 mb memory modules (2gb)

I read it can be done... has anyone here tried this setup: 2 gb in four 512 mb memory modules???
I was just wondering if there was a problem or bug to know about, also how good is the overclocking with that many ram installed... or even if its posible!
Thanks

4 double sidded dimms will run as pc 2700 ie 333 not 400
The truth is this motherboard/chipset only supports DDR400 speeds... and almost everybody exceeds that speed.

So its the price to pay perhaps when using all dimms, unless a new BIOS would have changed that. I doubt that, as this happens to all 939 motherboards as well regardless of the chipset.

Are all 4 RAM slots USER-UPGRADABLE in 27", 2.8MHz, i7 iMac?

I haven't dug into my iMac yet but am wondering if all 4 RAM slots are user-upgradable... before I fork out the money for more RAM.
Currently I have 8GB (4x2GB). I thought the 8GB would be enough for the graphic designing I do (was managing with my previous 1GB on my other iMac), but quickly found out that I need a lot more. The max is 16GB (4x4GB).
Anyone know if ALL four RAM slots are USER-UPGRADABLE?
Thanks!

Yes, look in your manual and it will show you how that all four slots are user upgradeable. If you want to upgrade to 16 GB you will need 4 x 4 GB chips. OWC's memory is highly regarded on this forum because they specialize in Macs and provide quality products and service. Memory there can be found at:

Some apps that you download on your iPhone may possibly be to new for the iPod touch 2nd gen. I have a iPhone 5 and a iPod touch 2nd generation myself. If you plug his ipod into iTunes and restore it from a backup of your iPhone than it will download the paid apps and music that are compatible with his ipod. Hope this helps.

Fill Array with all possible combinations of 0/1

Hi,
i'm looking for a fast way to fill an array, respectively an int[8], with all possible combinations of 0 and 1 (or -1 and 1, shouldn't make a difference).
I kind of know how to do it using multiple loops but I assume there is a more elegant or at leaster "better" practice.

Though you could pass in an array of the values to fill the array with, and loop over those, instead of using 0 or 1, at which point Sabre's approach becomes the same as your OP, but without the manual unrolling:

recursivelyCalculateCombinations(values, index + 1, depth, handler, combination);

Iphone 4S: Do they ALL come with a sim card slot?

The company I'm trying to connect the phone with says phones with a sim card slot cannot be activated, so instead of buying an Iphone 4 (which I don't want, due to the slower speed and less camera pixels), I figured I'd give one last try and see if anyone on here knows.
Thanks.
p.s. If you have any pictures or eBay listings of 4S's without a slot, please post them.

That sounds odd. All iPhone 4S and 5's come with SIM slots. The only iPhone model that does not have a SIM slot is the Verizon (CDMA) iPhone 4. Every other iPhone has had a SIM slot, from the original to the 5.

Will Neo4 Platinum Support All 4 DIMM Slots?

Will the Neo4 Platinum mobo support all 4 DIMM slots being filled? I already have 1GB of Corsair ram 2x512MB. I want to put 2 more DIMMs in though so I'll have a total of 2GBs 4x512MB. Will this mobo support all 4 DIMM slots being filled?
Thanx in advance!

My bad. . .i thought you said "Neo2 Platinum". You clearly stated "Neo4".
Just trying to help!

So then the Neo4 won't reduce memory speeds? I'm ready to go with 2GB of ram now. I wish I had 2x1GB vs 4x512MB but money is a factor for me, I don't have much of it....heh, oh well as long as it works at full speed. I wouldn't do it if I had to reduce my speed despite the difference is minimal.

This is what MSI says about certain types of memory:
• This mainboard DO NOT support the memory module installed with more than 18 pieces of IC (integrated circuit).
• The Maximum memory speed decreases when the following two memory combination is selected:
- Each channel is installed with two double-sided memory module
- Both DIMM1 and DIMM3 are installed with double-sided memory module
• Due to the South Bridge resource deployment, the system density will only be detected up to 3+ GB (not full 4GB) when each DIMM is installed with an 1GB memory module

Pure craziness: W530 will post with a DIMM in slot 1 **or** 3, but not both.

I've been going nuts here, so I apologize in advance if this email sounds a litted harried.
I have two identical W530s in front of me. Both of them are i7-3820QM and are intended to support up to 32GB of RAM. So I went and ordered 32GB of RAM from Crucial and it showed up this afternoon. I promptly installed it all in machine A because I was in the middle of doing some work on machine B. Everything was fine with machine A.
After I finished my work on machine B I decided to move the four DIMMs over there for various reasons; machine B will be there final destination. I stuck them in, making sure to seat them nicely. The machine refused to post. I pulled a couple out. The machine refused to post. I put them back in machine A. Machine A posted. Something fishy was up with machine B.
To make a long story short, read the title of this message. This is seriously one of the weirdest things I have ever encountered with a piece of hardware. If you have all four DIMMs installed, the machine does not post. If you remove **only** DIMM 1, the machine posts. If you remove **only** DIMM 3, the machine posts. Slots 2 and 4 work just fine; whether they are empty or full or partially full doesn't effect a **bleep** thing. I've also tried this with 4GB DIMMs instead of 8GB DIMMS; same deal.
Just to be ridiculously clear, here are he configurations that work and those that don't. "x" means that slot is empty.
x x x x - fails, beeps (obviously)
x x x 4 - works
x x 3 x - works
x x 3 4 - works
x 2 x x - works
x 2 x 4 - works
x 2 3 x - works
x 2 3 4 - works
1 x x x - works
1 x x 4 - works
1 x 3 x - fails silently
1 x 3 4 - fails silently
1 2 x x - works
1 2 x 4 - works
1 2 3 x - fails silently
1 2 3 4 - fails silently
**bleep** is going on here? The BIOS isn't even giving error beeps in the failure modes. If I'm somehow being a total moron, please let me know; that is so much more satisfying than the idea of a machine that can't use all its RAM slots because of some weird hardware bug.
Thanks!

Getting data transfered from old HD to new ones, leaving 2 slots filled . .

Hello,
*(Below is a thread I started in another forum, but, didn't get my final questions answered (see at bottom of this post in BOLD), and am hoping for further help and suggestions. I know there is a lot to read here, but, I think this information will help other novices, such as myself. Thanks!)*
I have 2 new HDs (each 1T) uninstalled, and I have my old HD (160 gigs) currently residing in one of the two slots in my G5. Any ideas on the best way/process to get the data transfered from the old HD to the new ones, leaving my two slots filled with the 2 new drives AND my data from the old HD transfered and intact, with a RAID0 setup?
OR, are there any other suggestions on a good setup with the 2 new HDs??
I'm open to suggestions.
I always back-up on external HDs, so, is their a need for me to worry about setting up a RAID0??
I'm doing video processing for DVD release.
Should I just max out the 2x1T gig HDs and not worry about a HD failure??
All Suggestions welcomed!!
Thanks, Jack
*FROM THE CUTTERMAN:*
You are limited with only 2 drive slots. In this scenario what usually works best is a small fast drive (eg Velocirapter or SSD) for OSX/Applications and a large drive for video files. It is not advisable to have the operating system running from a striped array.
Since you already have the drives, here is what you can do.
Install one new drive and format the partition you wish to use for OSX. You may not want to use the whole drive for OSX, so make 2 partitions. Be sure that it is GPT-formatted so it can boot.
Use CarbonCopy Cloner to copy your current OSX partition to the new one.
Set the startup disk as the new partition.
Remove the old drive and replace it with the second new one.
Reboot, and partition/format new drive.
*Hey Cutterman,*
Thanks for the advice. That sounds like a good set-up. I'll have to research the process of doing what you've advised, but, should work out ok:
A. Install one new drive and format the partition you wish to use for OSX. You may not want to use the whole drive for OSX, so make 2 partitions:
1. Partitions are done under Disc Utilities correct? Never done it before; will take a look.
B. Be sure that it is GPT-formatted so it can boot.
2. GPT is also done under Disc Utilities, correct? Here I start to get a bit confused, as I've formatted Extended Journal, SO, the partition with the OSX & Applications is formatted GPT, and the rest of the HD is formatted as Extended Journal?
C. Use CarbonCopy Cloner to copy your current OSX partition to the new one.
3. So, I partition the first new HD and use Carbon Copy Cloner (also under Disc Utilities) to copy the OSX & Applications from my original HD to the first new HD, correct?
D. Set the startup disk as the new partition.
4. This will be an option when I setup the partition???
E. Remove the old drive and replace it with the second new one.
F. Reboot, and partition/format new drive.
5. QUESTION: So, you recommend not striping the HDs: If I do a RAID 1, which sets up a mirror of the HDs, and since the first new HD is partitioned with the OSX & Applications, AND is set up as the Startup Disk, then the second new HD will also mirror that?? Another QUESTION: Even if the second new HD does not mirror the OSX & Applications, the second HD will only mirror the space/partition not utilized by the OSX & Applications partition, correct?
Thanks for your help!!
Jack
*FROM THE CUTTERMAN:*
OK I will try to answer your questions. To begin, if you want to mirror the 2 drives then you will need to boot from the SL install DVD or an external (USB/firewire) drive to set it up. IMO for your purposes it is too much hassle and a waste of HD space.
1) Yes partitions are created in Disk Utility
2) Yes, you choose a volume Scheme (ie number of partitions) and size them by dragging the separator bar. Then select the planned boot partition and click Options..., then choose GPT. I think it is usually the default but check and make sure. Extended journaled is the usual format.
3) You need to download Carbon Copy. It is a free tool that will copy the entire image of your current system partition to the new one and make it bootable. Consider making a donation as it is a very useful and frequently updated utility. It is fairly intuitive to use. You can also use the restore feature in Disk Utility but I have had more experience with Carbon Copy.
4) Once the copy process is finished the new boot partition will show up under the startup disk selections (this tool is in System Preferences).
*FROM 666Sheep:*
If may i correct one thing: OP, don't choose GPT (GUID Partition Table). You got PPC Mac (G5), so valid partition type for you is Apple Partition Map (APM).
GPT is for Intel Macs and you will not able to boot from this kind of partition.
*FROM THE CUTTERMAN:*
Thanks for the correction- my bad. No familiarity with non-Intel Macs.

*Hi All,*
*Since this process will come to a head on Tuesday/Wednesday, and I hope to be successful in transferring Old HD data to new HD/s.*
*A: I'm still a little foggy here, as I thought I'd set up the 2 new T-gig HDs so that if one of them failed, I'd still have the data backed up on the other HD; more ideas concerning this would be reassuring:*
*WHAT DOES "IMO" mean?*
*(IMO for your purposes it is too much hassle and a waste of HD space.)*
*As I understand the points made: After I partition the first new HD, and Carbon Copy data from old HD, I then install second new HD, and this will just act as an overflow from the first partitioned HD, correct? Because, if set up a Raid1/Mirror, the OSX partitioned portion of the first new HD will not copy to the second new HD, and that space on the second new HD will be wasted, correct?*
*Also: I have to set up RAID1 (if I do not set up RAID0), correct?*
*RAID 1*
*From WIKI: RAID 1 mirrors the contents of the disks, making a form of 1:1 ratio real time mirroring. The contents of each disk in the array are identical to that of every other disk in the array. A RAID 1 array requires a minimum of two drives.*
*Carbon Copy is a free tool that will copy the entire image of your current system partition to the new one and make it bootable.*
*1. Is my old HD partitioned? Is that done automatically by MAC prior to PC purchase?*
*2. Do I Carbon Copy the whole old HD or just parts? (eg. OSX, Photo Shop, After Effects, Various Files)*
*3. I read that it is necessary to DEACTIVATE Photo Shop (I have CS3) prior to doing Carbon Copy. Is that correct? If so, does this also apply to other Adobe applications? Such as After Affects, Illustrator??*
*Thanks to all for the help!!*

Confusing Information:
A1: You also want to make sure the drive you are backing up to is formatted Mac HFS Extended (HFS+) if using Mac OS 8.1 or above.
A2: On PowerPC Macs, your clone should be partitioned as Apple Partition Map.
*Q? I thought the new HD (1T) should be formatted in Extended Journaled?*
B: Also disable Spotlight (in 10.4 only) on your destination drive using Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Spotlight -> Privacy to add the destination drive to the pane.
*Q? I'm using 10.4.11, so, I should follow these instructions?*
C: If possible, boot into safe mode to perform the backup (holding the SHIFT key at startup). In addition, you can clone while logged into another administrative user that you don't use at all to avoid further complications of changes which may be happening to your regular user (though don't use Fast User Switching to get into that other user, since that other user is still active when fast user switching is used). Otherwise you are going to be running a backup on a live system which could have changes happening while you are attempting to backup. These may yield an imperfect clone, with uncertain success at recovery. It may be possible that your clone will have its own hardware issues, so make at least two copies.

Comp wont boot with ram in any slots besides 1&3 no matter what, faulty board?

Ok i've tried pretty much everything, got latest bios, changed timings to everything but the comp just wont boot if I have any ram in slots 2&4. Actually got the comp to boot up with ram in slots 1&2 once, but tried with all 4 slots filled and didn't work, and after that slot 2 didn't work again.
Could it be a faulty board? I know it's not the ram.

Ahh, turns out you were right tiresmoke.
Even though I thought I had 4 sticks that were exactly the same..one wasn't. 3 of them are xms32004.1 0427033 - 0...the one i've always had in my comp is 5.1 0430069 - 1. Put in 2 of the 4.1 and was able to run dual channel np. That explains why one time I was able to run dual channel then switch the ram and couldn't..had no idea there was minor differences..and have no idea why I got 3 of one kind and 1 of another when I orderd the 4 sticks.
Going to try and exchange the 4 sticks for 2 1 gig sticks..how good is neweggs return policy heh? Been like nearly 2 months..

How do I create a new playlist when all four options are not available

I'm running iTunes 11.1.5 under Mavericks 10.9.2. Because I have a very large music collection I keep it on an external drive. I have six recorded lectures I'd like to sync with my iPad. How do I create a new playlist based on the recordings on the external drive? All four New Playlist options are currently not selectable. I know it can be done because I've done it before years ago but have forgotten how.
Yes, I too wish iTunes were more coherent and less convoluted.
Appreciated.

Hi Try a Reboot press & hold power button & menu button hold both down until you see Apple Logo . Then go to music click on play list and try to make one. Cheers Brian

Ical limitation with all day events

I fill up my calendar quite a lot with all day events. The space allowed for the events is limited so some events don't show. There should be a stretchable bar to allow visibility or not.
I wonder how to pass on this suggestion to Apple.

Agrr, I couldn't find how to delete this question. As often when i get to ask a question i get the answer. My events don't disappear, they are there and there is a scroll bar that shows when i scroll in the all day event part.

the contacts list is usually filled out for contacts that are outside the company, there are times when you would use a contacts list to store internal and external resources. Wouldn’t it be nice if you didn’t have to re-type your internal contacts’
information that are already in the system? Now you can with a little InfoPath customization on the contacts list.
Here’s our plan:
Create the contacts list, and open in InfoPath
Create a data connection to the User Profile web service
Customize the form adding some text, a people picker and a button
Create InfoPath rules that will populate the contact fields from the user fields in the User Profile store
Let’s get going! Before we begin, make sure you have InfoPath 2010 installed locally on your computer. I also want to give credit Laura
Rogers and Darvish Shadravan’s book Using
Microsoft InfoPath 2010 with Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Step by Step. I know it looks like a lot of steps, but it’s easy once you get the hang of it.
So obviously we need a contacts list. If you don’t already have one, go to the SharePoint site where it will live, and create a contacts list.
From the list, click the List tab on the ribbon, then click Customize form:
So now we have our form open in InfoPath 2010. Let’s add our elements to the form.
Above all the fields, let’s add some text instructing users what to do with the the field we’re about to add (.e.g To enter an existing user’s information, choose the user below).
Insert a people picker control by clicking the Person/Group Picker control in the Controls section of the ribbon. This will add a column to the contacts list called group.
Below the people picker, insert a button control from the same section of the ribbon as above. With the button still highlighted, click the Control Tools|Properties tab on the ribbon.
Then in the Label box, change the text to something more appropriate to our task (e.g. Click here to load user data!).
You can drag the button control a little larger to account for the text.
We should end up with something like this:
Before we can populate the fields with user data, we need to create a connection to the User Profile Service.
Add a data connection to the User Profile Service
Click the Data tab on the ribbon, and click the option From Web Service, and From SOAP Web Service.
For the location, enter the URL of your SharePoint site in the following format – http://<site url>/_vti_bin/UserProfileService.asmx?WSDL. Click Next.
Note - for the URL, it can be any SharePoint site URL, not just to the site where your list is.
For the operation, choose GetUserProfileByName. Click Next.
Click Next on the next two screens.
On the final screen, uncheck the box for “Automatically retrieve data when form is opened”. This is because we are going to retrieve the data when the button is clicked, also for performance reasons.
Now we need to wire up the actions on our button to populate the fields with the information for the user in the people picker control.
Tell the form to read the user from the people picker control
Click the Home tab on the ribbon.
Click the button control we created, and under the Rules section of the ribbon, click Manage Rules. Notice the pane appear on the far right.
In the Rules pane, click New –> Action. Change the name to something like “Query and load user data”.
Leave the condition to default (none – rule runs when button is clicked).
Click the Add button next to “Run these actions:”, and choose “Set a field’s value”.
For Field, click the button on the right to load the select a field dialog. Click the Show advanced view on the bottom. At the top, click the drop down and choose the GetUserProfileByName
(Secondary) option. Expand myFields and queryFields to the last option and highlightAccountName. Click ok.
For Value, click the formula icon. On the formula screen, click the Insert Field or Group button. Again click the show advanced view link, but this time leave the data
connection as Main. Expand dataFields, then mySharePointListItem_RW. At the bottom you should see a folder called group (the people picker control we just added to the form). Expand this, then pc:Person,
and highlightAccountId. Click Ok twice to get back to the Rules pane.
If we didn’t do this and just queried the user profile service, it would load the data of the currently logged in user. So we need to tell the form what user to load the data for. We take the AccountID field from the people
picker control and inject into the AccountName query field of the User Profile Service data connection.
Load the user profile service information for the chosen user
Click the Add button next to “Run these actions:”, and choose Query for data.
In the popup, for Data connection, click the one we created earlier – GetUserProfileByName and clickOk.
We’re closing in on our goal. Let’s see our progress. We should see something like this:
Now that we have the user’s data read into the form, we can populate the fields in the contact form. The number of steps to complete will depend on how many fields you want to populate. We need to add an action step for
each field. I’ll show you one example and then you will just repeat the steps for the other fields. Let’s update the Job Title field.
Populate the contact form fields with existing user’s data
Click the Add button next to “Run these actions:”, and choose “Set a field’s value”.
For Field, click the button on the right to load the select a field dialog. Highlight the field Job Title.
For Value, click the formula icon. On the formula screen, click the Insert Field or Group button. Click the Show advanced view on the bottom. At the top, click the
drop down and choose theGetUserProfileByName (Secondary) option. Expand the fields all the way down until you see the Value field. Highlight it but don’t click ok, but click the Filter
Data button, then Add.
For the first dropdown that says Value, choose Select a field or group. The value field will be highlighted, but click the field Name field
under PropertyData. Click Ok.
In the blank field after “is equal to”, click in the box and choose Type text. Then type the text Title.
Click ok until you get back to the Manage Rules pane. The last previous screen will look like this.
We’re going to update common fields that are in the user’s profile, and likely from Active Directory. You can update fields like first and last name, company, mobile and work phone number, etc. For the other fields, the
steps are the same except the Field you choose to update from the form, and the very last step where you enter the text will change. Here’s what the rules look like when we’re done:
We’re all done, good work! You can preview the form and try it now. Click Ctrl+Shift+B to preview the form. Once you’re satisfied, you can publish the form back to the library. Click File –> Quick
Publish. Once it’s done, you will get confirmation:
Now open your form in SharePoint. From the contact list, click Add new item. Type in a name, and click the button and watch the magic happen!

In updating iPhoto 7.1.5 to 9.4.3. I have four different Libraries. Is there a problem in updating all four Libraries from 7.1.5?

In updating iPhoto 7.1.5 to 9.4.3 I have four different Libraries. Is there a problem in updating all four Libraries from 7.1.5?

No. Once you have upgraded iPhoto to 9.4.3 launch it with the Option key held down and select each library in order. iPhoto will convert the library to the new version.
As always, be sure you have a backup copy of each library before proceeding.

Speculation: Neo2 with all four DDR slots filled
