Ultra 20 dual-core upgrade: when and what?

Does anyone know when Sun will make a dual-core upgrade kit for the Ultra-20s available? From what I understand, it shouldn't take much more than a new processor and some BIOS changes.

Call Sun, the only CPU related CRU currently available is the fan/heatsink!

    No need to type in all caps - we HEAR you!
    I would take a look at the internal drives offered by both Crucial (click the link "Internal Hard Drives Now Available") and OWC. I would stay away from Western Digital drives as they seem to have problems on a number of Mac models.
    You can also shop for RAM at Crucial and OWC - just select the System Scanner tab at the Crucial website to find out which memory is right for your machine.
    Good luck,

  • Why is it that the new macbook pro processor upgrade option only offers up to 2.8 Ghz with Intel Dual Core i7, when back in Sep 12 I bought a 2.9 Ghz Intel Dual Core i7 Macbook, is the new one tuned to go much faster anyway?

    Why is it that the new Macbook Pro processor upgrade option only offers up to 2.8 Ghz boosting to 3.3 Ghz with Intel Dual Core i7, when back in Sep 12 I bought a 2.9 Ghz boosting to 3.6 Ghz Intel Dual Core i7 Macbook, is the new one tuned somehow to go much faster anyway, or will the new one be slower in fact?  Or does the solid state drive compensate for the lack of increased processor capacity?

    The CPU's come from different Intel 'families'.  The older ones are 'Ivy Bridge' and the newer ones are 'Haswell'.  Numbers alone will not determine the efficiency of  CPU.

  • AMD dual core 64 X2 and Opteron 1**; what motherboard.

    Hi to everybody, my name is Mauro and I am Italian. I have had for many years a lot of mobos MSI that are shown always reliable and with really excellent utility. An example the LiveUpdate that unlike utility of other brand is very comfortable and reliable. Currently I have a system AMD 64 X2 3800+ stepE4 with Asus A8N SLI Premium and memory RAM G.Skill PC4000 (chip Samsung UCCC) F1-4000USU2-2GBHZ PC4000. I have many problems of stability and I would want to return to the brand MSI. I use the PC as Workstation I am not interested to the SLI and I would want soon to pass to the CPU Opteron 1 * * dual core. The customer care G.Skill has reported that the brands of reference for the development of the forms are the MSI and few others. You would know me to suggest a complete mainboard in the endowments, silent and compatible with the CPU from me you quote. How VGA I have both chip ATI X700 Silent Pipes 256Mb or NVIDIA 6600 always silent pipes 256Mb. I am not interested to overclock. I am observing with attention the RD480Neo2 and other mobo with chipset NForce Ultra K8N Neo4 Platinum. Thanks for your share and suggestions.
    Mauro

    Skippy, that's changing fast. Probably most major manufacturers are now explicitly supporting the Opteron.
    Even MSI is getting there: K8N Diamond Plus
    Hi,
    To a careful study I have discovered that perhaps my Asus A8NSLIPremium has a problem that Asus is resolving. However I have asked to one friend of mine to make a will the MSI K8N Diamond Plus; in Germany it is already available some exemplary. The fact that the development has been made really with the Ram DDR that I have purchased (the G.Skill PC4000) it is a very important factor for the stability of a system. You introduces then with a good section of feeding to 4 phases it is very important. Certainly I am not interested to the characteristics of overclock but a Ferrari is not purchased only for racing. I have not told you that in so many years I have almost always had 2 brands that have always guaranteed me reliability: Abit and MSI. Objectively now that have tried also a lot of Asuses (5) I are not fully satisfied. For instance the Utility: LiveUpdate2 gave me reliability in the update of the bios (operation that finishes in DOS); the utility AsusUpdate because of a bug in the summer '05 are cost me 3 MB (update that departs in auto and it finishes in Windows). Resulted not could remain without MB I have had to purchase other identical MB. And treating itself of corruption of bios no guarantee. I have also discarded Tyan because it accepts only certified RAM DDR and their support it doesn't guarantee the operation with my DDR G.SKILL. Now that are in game I don't sell certain the DDR!

  • Dual Core Macbook (2006) and Snow Leopard

    I was ready to pre-order Snow Leopard, but now I'm not sure. I accept that it won't work with my ancient G4, or my old Mac Mini. But ...
    My wife's Macbook has Dual Core 2. No problem. Mine, however, is the very first Macbook - with only a Dual Core processor (without the "2")
    Anybody have a clue whether or not I'm in an unfortunate technological gap?

    There are no compelling reasons not to upgrade, but I always suggest you examine the information on the upgrade to decide if you really need it. No matter what the upgrade involves it's likely that some older applications may no longer work with the new version. I would not upgrade until you know your mission critical applications will work with the new version. If you want to try it out then install it on another hard drive you can use. That way you can test out the new version without making any changes to your normal system.

  • K8T NEO2 dual core upgrade problems

    Hi Everyone hope someone can help here I have just purchased a dual core 4200 socket 939 for my 6702e it has been running fine on my 3200 the 4200 is the one with the 2 512k cache if that helps.
    I have the latest bios through msi update think 9.40 so here is my issue. As I have stated this runs no problems at all with my single core 64xp but once I put the new processor in no boot or anything not even an error beep, all the indicator lights on the back panel go amber. I have cleared the cmos and installed 1 stick in the second purple slot 1 gig still nothing.
    Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance.

    Is the X2 4200+ new or did you buy it used from eBay or some such? What does it show for BIOS version at the upper left when you boot the PC? I ask this just to confirm you do indeed have 9.4 BIOS.
     Make a signature with PC information. Also include specs for PSU from label on it, see my sig. example of what info to provide.  By making signature your specs will show in every post you make.
    To create signature:
      Click on PROFILE above (near top of this page) and then in your "Profile" what I show in red below, scroll down to "Signature" and enter your specs in the box and then click on "Change profile" button on the bottom.
    Rebooted to make sure hehe yepper 9.4 bios
    Also fixed signature to the best of my knowledge.
    Thanks again for the reply and yes this is a used processor off of ebay reputable seller with no negatives so he has a DOA clause but just trying to trouble shoot this so I don't have egg on my face before I ship it back

  • Dual-core Ivy Bridge and gcc -march

    Hi,
    I wanted to give the ck-kernel a try, and, as indicated in the [repo-ck] wiki page I ran
    gcc -c -Q -march=native --help=target | grep march
    to see what package is best for me. It says
    -march= corei7-avx
    which is surprising, because, according to wiki, it corresponds to a Sandy Bridge processor. However my processor is an i7-3517U, which is a mobile dual-core Ivy Bridge processor.
    vendor_id : GenuineIntel
    cpu family : 6
    model : 58
    model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3517U CPU @ 1.90GHw
    Any idea of what it's going on here?

    @graysky Last week i noticed the same thing the OP did (I have a ivy i7 3770 though). However if you take a look at the [enabled] features from gcc -c -Q -march=native --help=target | grep enabled
    -m64 [enabled]

    All of the features that ivy bridge are supported are there MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AVX, AES, PCLMUL, FSGSBASE, RDRND and F16C.
    I am unsure however if there are any other optimisations which occur differently between corei7-avx and core-avx-i as i am not going to try and understand the full inner workings of gcc.
    However i did manage to patch gcc to enable core-avx-i support when asking for -march=native except that i am unsure of and repercussions of doing so https://github.com/crondog/misc-patches

  • The AVI Radeon X1900 XT video card in my Mac Pro Dual-Core went bad and I need to replace it. I found one that is $250 but I don't think that I need the gaming-type processor.  I am using a 23" Apple Display. Are there lower cost options? -C

    The Radeon X1900 XT video card went bad in my Mac Pro Dual-Core Intel Xeon. (I tried it with a good one at the office). I found one online that was $250. I don't need the gaming capacity of this card and was wondering if there were less expensive video cards that I could use in this machine. I run Adobe Creative Suites for graphics design and have a 23" Apply display. Thank you for any help that you can provide. -PretzelMcK

    Then pick up the ATI 5770 AND upgrade to 10.6.8.
    Same price for a good card that will work and helps to have 1GB VRAM.
    There aren't any other real choices let alone less expensive.
    Even the ebay links I had and not a lot of choices.

  • Bionic stuck on Motorola Dual Core Screen fix and replacement return

    Recently, as the subject suggests, my phone is stuck at the Motorola Dual Core Screen.  It will load this screen after hooking up to the computer or charger, and stay there.  During this time, it doesn't charge the battery and the battery becomes drained.  I am waiting on a replacement to be delivered, but in the meantime, I think I have figured out how to fix the problem.
    If I were to receive the replacement, but fix my current phone without opening the replacement, what is the process of returning/cancelling the replacement that was sent to me??
    Thanks,
    James

        Hello ezdirt,
    I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues with your phone not functioning properly. I understand how shocking it can be to have your device frozen on a specific screen. Some time has passed since this issue occured. Are you still having the issue with your device? Have you attempted a soft reset? Please let us know if you need assistance, thanks!

    In the Roadmap on SAPNet nothing is stated on this at the moment. .
    Does anybody of you have an idea when this product is coming to the market? And does anybody have any information
    Thanks in advance for your answers!
    Kind regards, Harjan

  • 13 vs 15" Retina.  Quad or Dual Core for Aperture and IMovie?

    Does iMovie or Aperture take advantage of quad core?  I'm debating if I should return the 13" Retina I just purchased for the 15".  Thanks

    A quad core will definitely allow you to stack more layers of instruments and decrease your buffer size (resulting in lower latency).  I have a 3.06gHz core 2 duo 17" with 8GB RAM and a mate of mine has a 13" i5 with 4GB RAM and we compared how many synths we could cram into 1 patch before we got system overloads.  My mate's i5 easily handled at least 60% more than my machine....I was blown away by how much difference the extra CPU speed makes. 
    If I were in your shoes, I'd definitely go for the quad core if you want MS to handle (just about) anything you can throw at it.  This will also give you a few more years of use as plugins evolve and consume more and more processing power.  That's one of the main reasons why I splurged at the end of 2009 and upgraded every "power" feature I could when I bought my current MacBook Pro.....I've easily gotten more life and use out my system than most users who bought the standard config at the time.  I've also just upgraded to a 512GB SSD to get some more juice out of my machine to keep me happy for at least another year before I get a new MacBook Pro.
