Lightroom and processing platform question

I have posted a version of this question on PS, but it is LR where it really matters.
Some eons ago, I was a PS user and found my then-current machine had features which PS was not using. Cannot remember the fine detail, we are talking PS5 or 6...
So, now I am contemplating buying a new i7 based machine with umpteen GB of memory and super graphics board. All these raise questions:can LRuse the speed features of the i7, can they use the umpteen GB, switch into the graphics stuff.
I am fed up with the P4 3.2GHz, 3GB, GeForce 9800GT platform I have - it stumbles and makes me wait (.always Loading... taking seconds). will I end up finding things not much better on a platform potentially 50 times faster? Or is 50 times faster just a dream?
If someone replies that their xxx with yyy goes like lightning, they will not be actually answering the question. I want to know if LR (and PS) can use all the bells and whistles available to them as processes - are they 64-bit so able to use the nnGB... etc etc
Thanks...

LR and PS can use multiple cores, perhaps not all 6 if you get a $1000 CPU--I base that on a benchmark that had LR running the same on both a quad and hex-core although no details were available on what the LR portion of the benchmark was doing. LR and PS both have 64-bit editions.
CS4-PS takes advantage of the GPU for certain things, but LR seems to only be sped up by the OS using the GPU more, not LR using the GPU, specifically, itself.
CS5 and LR3 are just around the corner and we don't know everything GPU-wise they will take advantage of, although there are reports that CS5-Premier Pro will only use CUDA (nVidia) not OpenCL (ATI) because OpenCL is buggy, still.
50-times-faster would be a benchmark that can use all the cores to their fullest, whereas LR does some things in parallel but not nearly everything, so the speedup will vary depending on what you do.
I am about ready to build myself a i7 960 machine and expect LR and PS to be very fast on it. I am not sure if I'll try using an SSD or not for the OS. If I go with what I'm leaning towards at the moment, a Gigabyte GA X58A-UD7, it would likely have USB3 on a couple of the USB ports with a 6Gbps speed that a few peripherals can use. It also has SATA3, which is half that speed, but faster than SATA2. I don't know as I will be overclocking it, much, which depends on the cooling setup, so maybe the MB is overkill and I'll go for something cheaper.

DreamWeaver Swap Image question

Hello!
I have created a simple swapImage page which is functioning properly (4 images).
My question is: Is it possible to make each image have it's own link?
Basically I wanted to create 4 images that act as a teaser to 4 indivdual stories and if someone
sees a story that they like they can click on it and it brings them to a page within my site for more info.
THANKS!

It is possible, but not using DW's Swap Image behavior.
To do this you'd have to use either -
Show/hide element
SetText of element
Custom javascript
The second option may be the best one. What is your skill level with HTML?

Cross platform question

I made a DVD that plays fine on my Mac but won't play on a PC running either XP or Vista. What can I do to correct this? It was very embarrassing and almost cost me a gig.

What kind of DVD? Did you make a VIDEO DVD and if so did you use iDVD to make it?
If so, it should play on any computer regardless of platform which has a DVD player application.

Newbie JDBC's platform question

Hi!
While not necessarily to prgramming and Java, I am very new to JDBC, database and Linux.
I am using Windows, but I will have to develop a database Java for Linux. I am trying to learn JDBC with ODBC, but I have a feeling that ODBC is a Windows' thing? So what kind of Database would you suggest that I go with so that it will be easy to use JDBC and will be the same in both Windows and Linux?

46c with 46d_ext kernel sles and oracle platform question

Dear sap on linux community,
I currently have R/3 4.6c with 46d_ext kernel running on sles8 and ora 9204 (all 32-bit)
As part of an upgrade project I want to move current system to sles10 and oracle 10 (all 64-bit). I am using that note as a starting point.
According to the note oracle 9 client is required with ora10 db ?
Why is this ?
This leads to some conflicting results from pam.
pam states that it is supported to run ora10 64-bit on sles10.
But as far as I know it is not suported to install ora9 client on sles10.
Please explain.
Do I need a db server with sles10ora10 and a ci app server with sles9ora9 ?
Rgds, Eirikur.

Hello,
I strongly recommend you to take a look at the note <a href="http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/521230">521230: FAQ: Client software 9i or earlier on UNIX</a>
The oracle client to be used on a SAP system running on UNIX depends on the <b>KERNEL</b>
You are upgrading
- Your OS ( from SLES 8 to 10 )
- Your Oracle DB ( from 9i to 10g )
Your kernel is NOT changing, therefore the oracle client still is the same as before.
NOTE. Even when the oracle client still is 9i, you must have version 9.2.0.7 or 9.2.0.8
Please, do not confuse the oracle client version (9i) with the RDBMS version (10g)
There is no conflict with PAM. PAM talks about RDBMS version, not about client versions.
At the end you will have a DB server running oracle 10g (RDBMS) and CI/AS runing kernel 46D_EXT with Oracle <b>CLIENT</b> 9i

JDev Platform Question

I just returned from Open World and would like to set up JDev on my desktop. I am running windows 98, which according to previous postings in this forum, may or may not work. Should I just buy NT workstation and set up a dual boot on my computer? Any advice or suggestions appreciated.

do yourself a favor ....
don't waste your time trying to run it on win 95, 98 or me.
it's only certified for win nt 4 (sp5 or 6a are recommeneded for stability) or win 2000.

OID DIP (Directory Integration Platform) Question

Does anyone have any experience or knowledge with running numerous DIP Profiles on an OID? We're looking at 500+ DIP Profiles, each of them running very frequently, every few minutes. Will it be a problem for OID to handle this number of DIP Profiles?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks!

We are syncing user information from a non-LDAP directory. Unfortunately, our DIT structure is such that certain types of users (as defined by geographic locations) are contained within separate folders. We have over 500 different "types" of users, each with their own place (container) in the tree. This removes the possibility of having one DIP mapping file. Each office has it's own mapping file and own config file that queries based upon said location.
Thanks.

Mixed platform question

I am going to be installing an ExtremeN (via cable modem) in a home with both apple and pc's. Is there anything I should do or know about working with this? I've set N's up with just apple computers in the past. Any WPA issues or just compatibility or reliability issues anyone has had.
thanks

The 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) is compatible with both Macs and PCs equipped with either Ethernet or 802.11a/b/g/n wireless. Most issues arise when using WEP encryption, but usually can be overcome with just providing the AEBSn's Equivalent Wireless Password to the PCs. However, using WPA or WPA2, is highly recommended (as WEP is no longer considered to be secure) and usually doesn't pose a problem for either Macs or PCs suitably equipped.

Platform question

Nowadays, tablets seem to get better cpus (tegra2) and more memory. Flex tools, written in java, are meant to run anywhere.
Would it be feasible to install flex on a tablet? Is there a standalone (debug or normal) player running on android?

Flex has been available on mobile devices for quite a while. You can use Flash Builder 4.6 with Flex 4.6 to target Android, IOS and PlayBook. It uses the Adobe AIR runtime, which can be embedded in the app or installed manually (Android), compiled into the app (IOS) or built into the device (PlayBook).
BTW: Flex apps are written with ActionScript, not Java, but can often talk to server-side Java.

MDM Platform Question

Hi,
We were running MDM on a 32-bit Windows machine but were running into problems with our larger repositories. We have switched to a 64-bit Windows server running 64-bit MDM. However, we were unable to procure a 64-bit version of SQL-Server. Our 64-bit MDM instance has been locking up at least once a day requiring the MDM services to be stopped and restarted.
Is a 64-bit version of SQL-Server needed if running a 64-bit version of MDM?
Thanks,
Vince Moore

Hi Vince,
What do you concider "large".. I don't know a solution but would like to understand the limitations a bit,
Thx,
Dirk

Cross Platform Swap/upgrade CS5

I have had the Windows version of Photoshop CS5 for about 3 years. Tomorrow I am getting my first Mac (woo!). I was just told via an auto-reply email from Adobe that my case was closed because I have to upgrade to CS6 first (on my almost retired PC??) before I can request a "swap" for the Mac version. How do I upgrade online (the server from the "updates" option from the "help" drop-down menu on my software is "not responding"), and how much will this cost? More importantly, will I definitely be able to swap platforms after paying for the upgrade on a computer I am about to no longer use??

There's no need to upgrade to CS6 Win then swap to CS6 Mac. That's outdated info. I'm surprised that Adobe are still advising people to do that. Hasn't been necessary since CS6 was launched.
See http://prodesigntools.com/move-adobe-cs5-between-computers-or-windows-to-mac.html
How to Switch Platforms from PC to Mac (or Vice Versa)
"Good news! It’s simpler now with CS6, you can easily change platforms when upgrading as normal – just select the correct operating system when purchasing the upgrade. Then when you install that upgrade software on your new platform, it will ask for the serial number of your previous version from the other platform. For example, if you currently own Photoshop CS5 on Windows and want to get Photoshop CS6 on Mac, then just buy the CS6 upgrade for Mac OS, and manually enter the serial number for your older Windows version when installing it."

Install After Platform Swap Photoshop Elements 12 & Premiere Elements 12

I've been emailed links to allow me to download Photoshop Elements 12 and Premiere Elements 12 after swapping platforms. When I download the installation file to my mac it runs but when it comes to the 'sign in' screen, once I click on the sign in button it just looks like its attempting to sign in. It sits for hours though and doesn't move on any further. I have tried several times but to no avail. Am I missing something?

Screenshots below
Sits on last screen for hours without moving forward through the installation process.

PS platform swap

I am running PS CS4 (Wiindows) and just purchased an iMac. What are my options to swap platforms?
Thanks

Oh no! Adobe has changed their upgrade policy to ONLY the immediate previous version. You can now only upgrade from CS5 (regardless if swapping platforms or not)
Thanks for pointing that out Erica. I knew the policy was going to change in January, but I though Adobe was still going to allow an upgrade from two versions back.
Herding us users to the cloud, I assume.
A cloud license, btw (unless this changed too) allows for non-simultaneous use on two computers, which can be different platforms. So with a cloud license you can use Photoshop on your work PC and on your home Mac.
