The diff between the two 8 core 3Ghz mac pros?

I am in the market for a mac pro. I will spend the money for an 8 core 3ghz cpu. I am a “do it your self” kind of guy. I am not afraid to do some installations myself (drives, Ram, GFX card, optic drive,)
I mainly use CS3, cinema 3D and FCP, On XP, Nuke and Studio Max. Dual displays, One 24” LCD and One CRT.
I have a few basic questions that maybe someone can point me to a link or better explain.
What is the diff between the two mac pros listed below. All I can come up with is the graphics cards and the ram? Is this right?
My plan is to upgrade the ram with the newer 800MHz DDR-2 ram, and graphics card. The stock 7300GT can get me by for now, than something else when the time is right (8800GT, I have not done my homework here, not a priority yet). I do zero gaming and don’t even care to spend money to play games. My priority is not in gaming and I feel a majority of folks are spending the money on the card to play games, so I am trying to find the pros for upgrading in my situation. Better open gl capturing, better graphics acceleration in CS3 better for 3d apps, most likely, but I can survive with the 7300GT for now right? I am fine with that now, but an upgrade in a year or so in the graphics card department is the plan. My priority for the money is order: ram, cpu, drives, Gfx card.
So, recap, what disadvantage would I put myself in for going with the 1st model of mac pro listed below or spend the extra 600 for the second model of macpro? Again, ram will 100% for sure be upgraded as will the hard drives.
Advice please.
Here is a link to the two units I am looking at. It is a 600$ difference.

Thanks Twist,
That is very useful info off the top of your head there. I will hopefully find the time this weekend to read through all the info and translate everything suggested from the other reply @ macworld.
If anyone else has any useful info that is clear like twist please give me your suggestions, for now I will read a bit more as suggested.
Thank you.

Disk Utility: what's the diff between the drive icons in the left window?

I don't partition my drives. In my left window of Disk Utility I see 2 lines for each drive in my computer. My main drive looks like this:
465.8 GB ST3500630AS Media
Main HD
Main HD is obviously the name I gave my drive. So is the first line the drive and the 2nd line the volume? And if I partitioned, I assume they'd all be listed under the first line (465.8)?
When working on a drive that is not partitioned like mine above such as when repairing permissions or the repairing the disk, does it matter which I select? The top line (465.8) or 2nd line (Main HD)?
Thanks,
Steven

Your assumptions are correct.
Some of the options in disk utility are for volumes and some are for the disk. If an option appears for both, then no, it doesn't matter which one is selected.

Diff between the J2ee port,webdispatcher port and ICM port

HI All,
Can some one please explain the diff between the web dispatcher port and J2ee port, I am able to under stand the diff between the web dispatcher port and the ICM port. What I understood is that all the requests will be passed to ICM through the web dispatcher , but what is the j2ee port refers ?
Thanks & Regard
Rajesh Meda

Hi Rajesh,
The Webdispatcher,ICM servers as services to reach the ABAP and Java stack respectively. ICM is thread oriented.
Any communication flows through Webdispatcher ---> ICM ---> ABAP/Java Stack.
Every instance has a ICM process in it. Webdispatcher is mainly used for load balancing and to be placed in DMZ zone for more protection of the communication channel. All the communication happens via port . Each of the service can be reached by independent ports or via Webdispatcher>ICM> J2ee.
Like direct port for J2ee we also have direct port for ABAP message server.
Hope this clarrifies. Kindly let me know in case of further queries.

What's the difference between these two backup systems?

When I bought my Macbook Pro I bought a Seagate external HD that used Bounceback Express as its backup application. But now my Mac defaults to Time Machine. What's the difference between the two applications? When I use Time Machine to back up my hard drive to the Seagate external, is it doing the same thing as Bounceback Express used to?

In analog terms, to explain YCbCr use the example of the COMPONENT output from your DVD player. It use 3 separate cables (Y = Luminance = Green Cable), (Y-B = Blue Color Diff = BLUE Cable) and (Y-R = Red Color Diff = RED Cable). In the analog world, RGB is actually RGBHV (5-wire) and is adaptable to 15-pin VGA with a simple passive adapter. Many people will mistakenly refer to Analog Component video as RGB, since the cables are Red, Green and Blue.
So, since all that mumbo jumbo means essentially the same, this appears to be the digital "equivalent" of what is known as Component Video in the Analog world... What I said about RGBHV does not apply to the 10-bit color, but thought I'd mention it anyway.

Whats the diff between express and pro??

Just wondering what the main diff between the two are. I've used pro at school, but cant afford to get it at home. Will i still be able to use the same audio instruments like the same synths and plug ins??? Also, would i be able to run the program on a mac mini (top of the line)?

Matt Mac 63, "Whats the diff between express and pro??" #5, 10:33pm Oct 18, 2005 CDT
All I was saying is that if a person can afford to get Pro, they definitely should. The difference in features adds up to at least the difference in price, if not very much more.
Having said that, Express is good value compared to most other DAW software at that pricepoint, but it is only intended as a 'Lite' version.
Some examples, off the top of my head, of differences not made really clear in the comparison list.
Input Objects:
In Pro you can use Input Objects to monitor incoming signal without rec-enabling a track. That doesn't sound much, on the face of it, but what it means is you can use external FX units (hardware) as inserts in tracks (or busses) just like plugins, and bounce them with the mix. it also means you acn monitor what you are playing into Logic Pro with plugin FX applied, but record dry so you can hear your guitar with the reverb, or whatever, but still have the recorded dry signal so you can change the FX settings later.
Pro has some very handy environment objects. The main one being the Trabsformer object. But also another extremely useful object is TouchTracks.
If you've ever played with Ableton Live you would have noticed you can triger clips with the keyboard in all different ways (loop, gate loop, one shot etc.) Well TouchTracks does that with MIDI regions.(I have a feeling that feature in Live was modeled after Logic's TouchTracks' as it is incredibly similar.)
They are only a few examples of a whole range of differences. If all the differences were itemized in the 'comparison chart' it would be about 3 pages long.
All I am saying is, don't take the comparison chart as the definitive list of differences.
yes, Express is a good basic tool and you can do a lot with it, with some imagination.
The SOS author's claim that:
you're paying less than a third of the price of Logic Pro and getting over 90 percent of the functionality."
is not true in totality.
It may be true to someone who has never dabbled in audio software before, because it takes literally years to become fully conversant with every function in Logic Pro, and no-one uses absolutely everything.
But for serious users, who have big demands, in my opinion, Express is less than 30% of Pro's functionality.

How much real world difference would there be between the 1600MHz memory of a 4,1 Mac Pro and the 800MHz memory of a 3,1 Mac Pro? My main app is multitrack audio with Pro Tools. Thanks so much.

How much real world performance difference would there be between the 1600MHz memory of a 4,1 Mac Pro and the 800MHz memory of a 3,1 Mac Pro? My main app is multitrack audio with Pro Tools. Thanks so much. The CPU speed of either one would be between 2.8GHz and 3.0GHz.

What are the differences.... firmware and build, there were tweaks to the PCIe bus itself. As a result 3rd party cards and booting is better.
Support in 5,1 firmware for more 56xx and W35/36xx processors. Also memory timing.
The 4,1 was "64-bit boot mode optional" and 5,1 was default. I don't know if there are changes but I assume so, even if it is not reflected elsewhere or in version number.
I don't know what the prices are but 2009, to buy one today, when the 2010 is $1800.
The 2008 of course was test bed for 64-bit UEFI and it sure seems even Lion and then ML are not as well engineered - outside of Linc who would be the least likely to have a problem.
I would assume 2010 has better support for 8GB and even 16GB DIMMs as well as for 1333MHz.
Nehalem family had only come out in fall 2008 and a lot of work went into making improvements well past 2009.
If you remember, there were serious heat problems with those and 10.5.7+ up thru 10.6.2 even with iTunes, audio, and hyperthreading and cores hitting and staying in 80*C range. That I assume was both poor code (sleep does not mean poke and ask constantly) as well as changes in SMC and kernel improvements, to work around. Microcode can be patched in firmware, kernel, by drivers and by code, but it is best when the chips and core elements don't need to be.
If someone is stretched, and can get 2009 for $1200 it might be a fine fit. That year offered the OEM GT120 which isn't really as nice and matched for today both OS and apps that rely on a GPU. And for odd reasons two such 120's don't work well in Lion+ but that is probably minor. Having the 5770 is just "nicer" though.
There are some articles about trouble booting with PCIe SATA/SAS/SSD and less trouble with 2010. Also support for graphic card and audio I think was one of those "minor" 5770 related support issues. But shows some small changes were made there too.
I wish someone would come out and pre-announce DDR4 + SATA3 along with PCIe 3.x (for bandwidth and more power per rail) along with say Ivy Bridge-E socket processors was going to be this summer's 3 yr anniversary and to replace the 2010 designed motherboard. But that is what is on Intel's and others drawing boards simmeringn in the pot.

What is the diff between general gl a/c, control a/c, reconciliation a/c,

Dear All
what is the diff between general gl a/c, control a/c, reconciliation a/c & offsetting a/c.

Hi,
Normal GL Account is the account where the accounting entries are posted. GL Accounts will be broadly of two categories like Balance Sheet Accounts (Assets & Liabilities) and Profit & Loss Accounts (Income and Expenses).
Reconciliation Accounts are used where a subsidiary ledger is maintained. For example for Customers and Vendors details are maintained in separate ledgers but the control totals are posted in the Reconciliation Account which is part of GL Accounts. Similarly reconciliation accounts are maintained for Assets and Materials also. Further, in case of Customer and Vendor accounts the number of line items will be very high, hence only the totals are updated in GL and line items will be individual ledgers. Basically reconciliation account and control account are similar.
Offsetting Account: In Financial Accounting for every debit there should be a corresponding credit. So when ever any entry posted it will normally hit two GL Accounts. When we look at one line item, we will be interested where the other side of the entry is posted. This entry is the offsetting entry.
If you find this usel, please assign points.
Thanks
Murali.

Hi guru's what is the diff between for all entries & joins

hi guru's what is the diff between for all entries & joins

Hi Vasu,
Joins are used to fetch data fast from Database tables:
Tables are joined with the proper key fields to fetch the data properly.
If there are no proper key fields between tables don't use Joins;
Important thing is that don't USE JOINS FOR CLUSTER tableslike BSEG and KONV.
Only use for Transparenmt tables.
You can also use joins for the database VIews to fetch the data.
JOINS
... FROM tabref1 [INNER] JOIN tabref2 ON cond
Effect
The data is to be selected from transparent database tables and/or views determined by tabref1 and tabref2. tabref1 and tabref2 each have the same form as in variant 1 or are themselves Join expressions. The keyword INNER does not have to be specified. The database tables or views determined by tabref1 and tabref2 must be recognized by the ABAP Dictionary.
In a relational data structure, it is quite normal for data that belongs together to be split up across several tables to help the process of standardization (see relational databases). To regroup this information into a database query, you can link tables using the join command. This formulates conditions for the columns in the tables involved. The inner join contains all combinations of lines from the database table determined by tabref1 with lines from the table determined by tabref2, whose values together meet the logical condition (join condition) specified using ON>cond.
Inner join between table 1 and table 2, where column D in both tables in the join condition is set the same:
Table 1 Table 2

Example
Output a list of all flights from Frankfurt to New York between September 10th and 20th, 2001 that are not sold out:
DATA: DATE LIKE SFLIGHT-FLDATE,
CARRID LIKE SFLIGHT-CARRID,
CONNID LIKE SFLIGHT-CONNID.
SELECT FCARRID FCONNID F~FLDATE
INTO (CARRID, CONNID, DATE)
FROM SFLIGHT AS F INNER JOIN SPFLI AS P
ON FCARRID = PCARRID AND
FCONNID = PCONNID
WHERE P~CITYFROM = 'FRANKFURT'

AND F~FLDATE BETWEEN '20010910' AND '20010920'
AND FSEATSOCC < FSEATSMAX.
WRITE: / DATE, CARRID, CONNID.
ENDSELECT.
If there are columns with the same name in both tables, you must distinguish between them by prefixing the field descriptor with the table name or a table alias.
Note
In order to determine the result of a SELECT command where the FROM clause contains a join, the database system first creates a temporary table containing the lines that meet the ON condition. The WHERE condition is then applied to the temporary table. It does not matter in an inner join whether the condition is in the ON or WHEREclause. The following example returns the same solution as the previous one.

AND FSEATSOCC < FSEATSMAX.
WRITE: / DATE, CARRID, CONNID.
ENDSELECT.
Note
Since not all of the database systems supported by SAP use the standard syntax for ON conditions, the syntax has been restricted. It only allows those joins that produce the same results on all of the supported database systems:
Only a table or view may appear to the right of the JOIN operator, not another join expression.
Only AND is possible in the ON condition as a logical operator.
Each comparison in the ON condition must contain a field from the right-hand table.
If an outer join occurs in the FROM clause, all the ON conditions must contain at least one "real" JOIN condition (a condition that contains a field from tabref1 amd a field from tabref2.
Note
In some cases, '*' may be specified in the SELECT clause, and an internal table or work area is entered into the INTO clause (instead of a list of fields). If so, the fields are written to the target area from left to right in the order in which the tables appear in the FROM clause, according to the structure of each table work area. There can then be gaps between table work areas if you use an Alignment Request. For this reason, you should define the target work area with reference to the types of the database tables, not simply by counting the total number of fields. For an example, see below:
Variant 3
... FROM tabref1 LEFT [OUTER] JOIN tabref2 ON cond
Effect
Selects the data from the transparent database tables and/or views specified in tabref1 and tabref2. tabref1 und tabref2 both have either the same form as in variant 1 or are themselves join expressions. The keyword OUTER can be omitted. The database tables or views specified in tabref1 and tabref2 must be recognized by the ABAP-Dictionary.
In order to determine the result of a SELECT command where the FROM clause contains a left outer join, the database system creates a temporary table containing the lines that meet the ON condition. The remaining fields from the left-hand table (tabref1) are then added to this table, and their corresponding fields from the right-hand table are filled with ZERO values. The system then applies the WHERE condition to the table.
Left outer join between table 1 and table 2 where column D in both tables set the join condition:

If there are columns with the same name in both tables, you must distinguish between them by prefixing the field descriptor with the table name or using an alias.
Note
For the resulting set of a SELECT command with a left outer join in the FROM clause, it is generally of crucial importance whether a logical condition is in the ON or WHERE condition. Since not all of the database systems supported by SAP themselves support the standard syntax and semantics of the left outer join, the syntax has been restricted to those cases that return the same solution in all database systems:
Only a table or view may come after the JOIN operator, not another join statement.
The only logical operator allowed in the ON condition is AND.
Each comparison in the ON condition must contain a field from the right-hand table.
Comparisons in the WHERE condition must not contain a field from the right-hand table.
The ON condition must contain at least one "real" JOIN condition (a condition in which a field from tabref1 as well as from tabref2 occurs).
Note
In some cases, '*' may be specivied as the field list in the SELECT clause, and an internal table or work area is entered in the INTO clause (instead of a list of fields). If so, the fields are written to the target area from left to right in the order in which the tables appear in the llen in der FROM clause, according to the structure of each table work area. There can be gaps between the table work areas if you use an Alignment Request. For this reason, you should define the target work area with reference to the types of the database tables, as in the following example (not simply by counting the total number of fields).

this will help u.
use of FOR ALL ENTRIES:
1. INNER JOIN
DBTAB1 <----

It is used to JOIN two DATABASE tables
having some COMMON fields.
2. Whereas
For All Entries,
DBTAB1 <----

is not at all related to two DATABASE tables.
It is related to INTERNAL table.
3. If we want to fetch data
from some DBTABLE1
but we want to fetch
for only some records
which are contained in some internal table,
then we use for alll entries.
1. simple example of for all entries.
2. NOTE THAT
In for all entries,
it is NOT necessary to use TWO DBTABLES.
(as against JOIN)
3. use this program (just copy paste)
it will fetch data
from T001
FOR ONLY TWO COMPANIES (as mentioned in itab)

Diff between the Start routine and Update rules?

Hi Gurus
Diff between the Start routine and Update rules?
Thanks in advance
Raj

Hi,
Routines are like conditions or business rules that could be applied to filter the data while entering the BW system or could be used to apply certain conditions on the info objects itself.Update rule level you manipulate your data and write your start routine.
There are 4 types of routines
1. Start routine- Could be used at two levels (transfer rule level and the Update rule level)
This Start routine written at the transfer rule level helps filter the necessary data coming from the source system.
For Example: If you decide to extract data that contain only quantity greater than 500 , then you could specify the Start rouitne to achieve this.
The Start routine at the Update rule level provides similar functionality but at this point it helps direct specific data to
different data targets. For Example: If there 3 data targets being fed from the Infosource, you may want to apply some condition to each data target, like send year 2000 data ti Data target1, 2001 to data target 2 and so on. This can be achieved by using Start routine at the Update rule level
2. Transfer Routine: This feature is available at the transfer rule levels
While performing the transfer rules operation, there are 4 features available to the developers to create business rules on top pf the Infoobjects.
1. You could do a one to one mappping of the Infoobject
2. Provide a constant value
3. Include a formula
4. Write an ABAP routine.
These 4 options refers to the transfer routine
3. Update Routine:
The limitations of just having 4 options in the transfer routine is overcome at the update rule level. There are various other
sophisticated features avaialable apart from the 4 options mentioned above. These business rules could be specified pertaining to each data target.
4. Conversion Routine: It provides functionality to do Currency and unit conversion.
Regards.

Hi gurus what is the diff between free & refresh

hi gurus what is the diff between free & refresh

Hii!
FREE f.
Effect
FREE f has the same effect as CLEAR f , namely that a Data object f is reset to the initial value corresponding to its type.
Unlike CLEAR, FREE also releases any resources taken up by the data object f. FREE can also release more resources than CLEAR for table work areas declared using the TABLES statement.
After FREE f, the data object f can be re-addressed at any time. The only condition is that you may need to re-allocate resources to the object.
Note
If f is an internal table with header line (where the name f in a sense has two meanings) the statement FREE f refers to the body of the table, and the statement CLEAR f refers to the header line.
REFRESH itab.
Effect
The internal table itab is reset to its initial state, i.e. all table entries are deleted.
Der Return Code SY-SUBRC is undefined.
Notes
The header entry of a table with a header line remains unchanged. It can be reset to its initial value using CLEAR.
FREE itab can be used to free up the memory allocated to the table.
Note
Performance:
The runtime required to reset an internal table depends on the amount of memory previously occupied by that table.
Resetting a small internal table takes around 15 msn (standard microseconds). Resetting a 200 KB table takes around 400 msn, and a 1 MB table, around 3000 msn.
If the internal table has an index or a hash table (because it was edited using INSERT, DELETE, SORT or COLLECT), the runtime increases slightly, since the index or hash table has to be released as well as the table itself.

Abhijeet

What is the difference between these two sticks of RAM?

I am upgrading my Macbook 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 duo from 2GB of ram to 4GB
What is the difference between these two kits?
4GB Kit (2 x 2GB) 200 Pin DDR2-667 PC2-5300 256x64 CL5 1.8V SODIMM ($102.00)
4GB Kit (2 x 2GB) eRam 200 Pin DDR2-667 PC2-5300 CL5 1.8V SODIMM ($88.00)

Probably nothing of any consequence. Some places can just negotiate better deals with suppliers. Or one of a million other factors that can affect price is in play here.
When buying RAM, I generally find it's better to pay a little extra to get a brand that's known for quality. I usually stick to Crucial myself. If you look around, you can probably find some real steals out there, but I don't know... With stories of people who literally go dumpster diving, salvaging stuff that was slated for disposal, then turning around and selling it... I prefer not to take chances. If you are, by all means, go for the cheaper one.

Facing problem while calculating the difference between the two dates?

Hi
I am using this code to calculate the difference between the two dates :
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.*;

cal2.set(2007, 05, 03);
// Get the represented date in milliseconds
long milis1 = cal1.getTimeInMillis(); // getting error here
long milis2 = cal2.getTimeInMillis(); // getting error here
// Calculate difference in milliseconds
long diff = milis2 - milis1;
// Calculate difference in seconds
long diffSeconds = diff / 1000;

but i am getting this error :
The method getTimeInMillis() from the type calendar is not visible
Please suggest!!

// Get the represented date in milliseconds
long milis1 = cal1.getTime().getTime(); // getting error here
long milis2 = cal2.getTime().getTime(); // getting error here Hope this works for you!!

Whats the difference between these two queries ? - for tuning purpose

Whats the difference between these two queries ?
I have huge amount of data for each table. its takeing such a long time (>5-6hrs).
here whice one is fast / do we have any other option there apart from listed here....
QUERY 1:
SELECT --<< USING INDEX >>
      field1, field2, field3, sum( case when field4 in (1,2) then 1 when field4 in (3,4) then -1 else 0 end)
    FROM
      tab1 inner join tab2 on condition1 inner join tab3 on condition2 inner join tab4 on conditon3
    WHERE
     condition4..10 and
    GROUP BY
      field1, field2,field3
    HAVING
      sum( case when field4 in (1,2) then 1 when field4 in (3,4) then -1 else 0 end) <> 0;
QUERY 2:
   SELECT --<< USING INDEX >>
      field1, field2, field3, sum( decode(field4, 1, 1, 2, 1, 3, -1, 4, -1 ,0))
    FROM
      tab1, tab2, tab3, tab4
    WHERE
     condition1 and
     condition2 and
     condition3 and
     condition4..10
    GROUP BY
      field1, field2,field3
    HAVING
      sum( decode(field4, 1, 1, 2, 1, 3, -1, 4, -1 ,0)) <> 0;
[pre]

My feeling here is that simply changing join syntax and case vs decode issues is not going to give any significant improvement in performance, and as Tubby points out, there is not a lot to go on. I think you are going to have to investigate things along the line of parallel query and index vs full table scans as well any number of performance tuning methods before you will see any significant gains. I would start with the Performance Manual as a start and then follow that up with the hard yards of query plans and stats.
Alternatively, you could just set the gofast parameter to TRUE and everything will be all right.

Is it possible for the Adobe to put video instructions on these following things as my professor works on CS4 and I have CS6,it is really confusing for me to follow the disparitie between the two.

<Changing page background color>
We've already told you how to do that with CSS code.
<Deleting placeholder copy in the content container>
Placeholders are deprecated. Adobe removed them.
<Inserting a video in a table>
Insert > Media > HTML5 Video
<Insert page anchors and link to them with navbar hyperlinks>
Named anchors are deprecated in HTML. Adobe removed them from DW. Use Div IDs instead.
Why are you taking a course that teaches outdated methods in CS4 which is no longer supported?
