Upgrading from K9A2 to AM3: What board for Win2k?

I know that anything having to do with Digital Rights Management won't work with Win2k, but I was wondering which AM3 socket board would offer "pretty good" support for Win2k in terms of drivers.
In some instances there's simply no Win2k driver download available, and I don't know if the installer immediately barfs on Win2k systems, or if you could unpack drivers individually so that ALMOST everything would work.
I'm using Windows 2000 Server to access all four cores ...
Note: I'm not a gamer and not heavy into multi-media stuff, so more basic audio/video operation would be OK.

Quote from: Fredrik on 10-March-11, 23:22:11
Isn't it better to trim your current system for what W2000 likes best, office work and networking maybe, and have a separate system for media handling, gaming and such? I imagine this would amount to less money and work and difficulties.
My problem at the moment is just locating any AM3 mainboard with ANY chipset drivers for Win2k.
I hate activation / "phoning home" to M$, so I've avoided upgrading to XP.
I know that XP Pro would give me support for the cores I have and most any chipset. It looks like I could go that route pretty cheaply, but I don't know how ugly it would be to put a non-server OS over top of a server installation, even though I'm just using Win2k Server as a fast workstation.
I've also considered crossing over to some flavor of Linux and running windows apps under WINE (whatever). I've had very modest Linux experience years ago, and don't know how much of a nightmare that change would be.
I like the idea of having a 64-bit OS some day, but I've always been afraid that any newer version of Windows would be so bloated compared to the older ones that any added performance gains would be more than offset by the snails pace of the OS / "new and improved" apps ...
I've loved Win2k because it was the first version of the OS where USB support REALLY worked, and the kernel was relatively light and fast compared to what followed.
Thinking about getting everything to work all over again on a new platform makes me CRINGE, and I've been at this for decades!

Upgrading to Yosemite
You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Yosemite
To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
    OS X Mavericks/Yosemite- System Requirements
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later

     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

Upgrade from CS4 to CS5--what functions in CS4 do I lose?

By grading from CS5 to CS4, what functions will I lose in CS4? I see that the "upgrade" button is greyed out in CS4. Anything else?

Just to be clear (and I don't think I was originally)...the upgrade is from CS4 to CS5. I see that CS4 is still available and operating. I just wanted to make sure it wouldn't become "dead" after upgrading to CS5.
Thanks for all the information and responses.

Upgrade from SP2010 to 2013 [What is the minimum build required?]

Can SP2010 SP1 + June 2012 CU (14.0.6123.5000) be upgraded to SP2013? else, what is the minimum build required to move from SP2010 to SP2013?
Is there any Technet article which clarifies this?
Regards,
Harish Kumar

Actually the Build is not a problem because you will have to backup and restore SP 2010 backup on different machine and attach it to farm using powershell. you do not have a inplace upgrade option. you will have to go for database upgrade only

Decided to upgrade from an old PowerBook G4, mostly for eyesight issues. Bought a new Mac Mini and hooked it up to an Apple A1267 Cinema Monitor. I cannot even figure out how to turn them on. Help please.

I am exhausted just getting to the point of being allowed to ask my question. I recently decided to upgrade from an old PowerBook G4 that we have used for years, and am using now. I bought a new Mac Mini and a reconditioned Apple A1267 Monitor that was working beautifully when hooked to a slightly newer PowerBook in the store. Both the Mini and the monitor are plugged in, and attached to each other but I feel light a dolt. I cannot even figure out how to turn them on or even get a power light to come on. Can someone help me?

How is the Mini coonected to the momitor?
Does the power button n the mini not work?

Upgraded from Trial version to Basic FormsCentral for 14.99

Upgrading from 3GS to 4S - what's best procedure for transferring info?

i have an iphone 3gs and just got the 4s. What do I need to do to get the 3GS info onto my new phone? What's easiest? I haven't done anything with my new 4S and i have not upgraded the 3GS phone to the new software. Advice?

IF you've been syncing the 3Gs on a regular basis, including contacts to a supported application (address book on the Mac or Windows Address Book or Outlook on a PC) AND all of your media is in the iTunes library you normally sync to, AND all of your apps are in the iTunes library you normally sync to, then you should be able to plug the 3Gs in, back it up and sync it, Start up the 4S, go through the screens until you get the choice to Activate it and restore using iTunes, then plug it in. It should restore all of your apps, data and settings from the old phone to the new one.
BE CAREFUL. iOS 5 no longer displays the big swipe to cancel sync message when it's busy syncing with the computer. Touch the home button if the screen is dark and look at the top of the screen next to the signal strength meter. If you see 2 little rotating arrows, it's still busy.

Help needed upgrading from 4.1 to 6.2 for transfer to new Pre

I have a Sony Clie PEG-SJ22 that I sync on two computers using Palm Desktop 4.1.0 on each. The version on the computer in front of me lives in D:\Program Files\Sony Handheld. I just bought a Palm Pre and learned that in order to sync my data to it, I would have to first upgrade to Palm Desktop 6.2. I downloaded the 6.2 installation file and ran it. It recognized that Palm Desktop was already installed and prompted me to click "Yes" to upgrade it which I did. However the installation froze with the progress bar about 3/4 of the way through. I End-Tasked the installation, but now I can't run either the new version or the old one. (In fact the new version seems to have disappeared from \Program Files.) When I try to run the old version I get error messages about missing dll files. Before I try re-installing (or anything else) what should I do to make this go properly? Is there a problem because my old version of Palm Desktop was a Sony-Clie-branded version? Or is it something else?
Thanks

Thanks WyreNut for your quick reply,
I'm able to restore my system prior to trying to installing the update so that I don't lose anything with my current Desktop 4.2. I might be in a catch-22 as that, if I do a clean uninstall of v4.1 and install the v6.2, will I be able to hotsync my Sony Clie TH55 since it's not a Palm product but uses the Palm Desktop to sync???
Any other ideas will be appreciated...
Thanks
I did a search of the Forum for "6.2 and Clie" and found several threads. None were very promising.

Should I upgrade from Mavericks to Yosemite or go for a new install of Yosemite?

I just asked this, got an answer, but it shows as restricted. I can't access my question, so I'll repost. Dammit!
Macbook Pro 15.4” Retina, October 2012, 500g, 8g RAM.  In anticipation of the release of Yosemite, I have been ready to back everything up, screenshot all of my apps, print them so I can pick and choose after the install from where I have acquired everything. I am on a business scenario, not a typical home user. I use five external hard drives, so I can get it sussed.
  I am a Windows convert, I still Bootcamp Win 7 because of some Sony video software I need to use for business. Upper end Photoshop user. I will be installing Final Cut Pro X as a replacement for the video apps when everything settles. I have researched and see that my BluRay production will take a hit because I will have a learning curve and there seems to be a bug with Final Cut Pro X and BluRay production. I'm sure it will be resolved by the time I am ready to switch. No biggy. I will be cutting the Microsoft cord when that takes place. I'm just giddy over it. Seriously.  
What I want to know, and this is a very noob question, is, I want to erase and format my hard drive to accept Yosemite when it hits the release date. I want to go with a clean install rather than an update.
 To all of you seasoned and dyed in the wool Apple people, if you were two years into Apple as I am, would you install Yosemite, when it is released, as a stand-alone, fresh install instead an update install? I know it will wipe everything, but I want to build from the ground up as an OS install. Start over, as it sounds.
 Do you people think it an imprudent act to wipe everything and start over or a better idea to update with the Yosemite release over/on top of Mavericks?  I know there will be bugs. I dealt with the Mail bug in Mavericks, then they fixed it. I know there will be issues, there always are.  
Does it even matter?
 Thanks for your attention and for looking, 
Kelly J.

I had thought the fall release of Yosemite would be a release candidate (baked.) Am I wrong? I know it's hard to know.
Through my years as a Windows user, I always waited at least a year after their OS releases before jumping on them.
There is no good answer anymore. All of the responses you have had in this thread are excellent. But Apple keeps changing the plan. I say wait until the 2nd minor release of Yosemite. The first 10.10.1 will be a bug fix release, probably within 3 weeks. The second will be a security update two weeks later. That is the point where it will probably be safe to install. You'll have a good 8 months of usage before having to worry about upgrading again. Also, this strategy applies to all releases, not just major ones. Apple doesn't do "bug fixes" like you may have been used to in the past. Builds 10.10.1, 10.10.2, etc. will be designed not to break any public interfaces, but that is as far as it goes. Otherwise, Apple is liable to change anything. The old adage "if it ain't broke don't fix it" simply doesn't apply anymore. Wait a week or two after each incremental update to see if there are big changes. Since you are a heavy Photoshop user, always check the Adobe forums before updating the OS.

SAP BW Upgrade from 7.0 to 7.3 For SAP BOBJ 4.0: Hardware

Good afternoon
I could not find any usable information on the net and I do not know where to look for the following regarding hardware requirements.
We are planning to install SAP Business Objects 4.0 SP 02 and need to Upgrade our current SAP BW environment from 7.0 to 7.3.
I need to know what the hardware requirements (sizing) are for the SAP BW side please?
thanks in advance.

Hi,
The EMC Solutions design center offers a free SAP storage sizing regardless of your current storage vendor. It can be as easy as providing SAP Earlywatch reports. See https://community.emc.com/docs/DOC-11310 If you are just looking for the incremental needs from the upgrade to the new release, that is more specific to SAP and your config. Good Luck

Upgrade from 8.2 to 8.6 for new ASA 5515X

Hello,
My customer has a rather complex configuration on an ASA 5510 running version 8.2
They are migrating to new ASA 5515X models which of course only version support 8.6
How can i convert the configuration from 8.2 to 8.6 since the new ASA's do not support the earlier versions?
The X series seems to be a great option for new deployments but what about replacements of existing older models?
Thanks for any ideas everyone!
Chris

Hello,
I would say go to 8.4 From there you will have the same syntax.
There will be new commands and features on 8.6... That for sure but you are going to be on the same path.
Any other question..Sure ..Just remember to rate all of the helpul posts

Upgrading from a HDD to a SSD for the HP 15-g010dx

I was wondeing if I could upgrade and replace my HP 15-g010dx Notbook HDD to either a 128gb SSD or 256gb SSD to increase performance and battery life? Which SSD would be best compatiable with the HP 15-g010dx Notebook? What size SSD would I need? I was looking at either the 128Gb or 256Gb Crucial MX100 SATA 2.5 7mm with 2.5 adapteron amazon. Also would upgrade to a SSD for the HP 15-g010dx be worth the upgrade?

Here is the Manual:
Manual
Yes an upgrade to an SSD is technically possible and would significantly improve performace, BUT. The laptop is essentially a "closed" system. There is no customer-accessible access door for the memory or the hard drive. It is necessary to remove the whole top cover in order to access the hard drive, remove it and replace it with a solid state drive. Doing so jeopardizes the warranty.
This series of videos will let you know what is involved:

There have actually been a couple reported issues with recent HP laptops and the Crucial MX100 series which have not adequately been explained. My own suggestion is a Samsung Evo 840, but there are many good SSDs on the market.

I just upgraded from LR4 to 5 what a mistake...

Hello I hope someone can help.
I upgraded yesterday from LR4 to LR 5. Why is it so slow? If I highlight three images in my library view and right click, it takes nearly 4 seconds for the right click menu to appear, if I then select "stack", it takes another 5 - 10 seconds. i never had this problem in LR4. I have I7, plus 16 Gb Ram in win 7.
I also sometimes get a wierdly slow screen draw where the different parts of the LR interface seem to redraw in slow motion one after another, taking up to 10 seconds to complete. This is unusable. I am not impressed so far...
Any suggestions?

In most usages 5 is faster than 4. I'd start with the standard things like deleting preferences and updating video drivers.

How do I upgrade from ver 4 software to 5 for my iPad2.?

How do I upgrade my iPad 2 from version 4 to 5?

Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases (you may also want to copy photos off the iPad as well) and then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'. You may also want to copy off the iPad any important documents, notes, files etc e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case.
You can then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button.
