Want help in compiling a list of upgrades for my Quicksilver (UK)

Well my Quicksilver will be arriving in a few days and after asking a couple of questions about upgrades I'd now like to compile a list of upgrades for me to buy so I can everything with ease. I live in the UK and can you use eBay and any other website/source as long as it can get to the UK. I'd like to upgrade the following to begin with:
- Sound card
- RAM
- Graphics card
- USB 2.0 ports
- DVD drive
- PSU
- Any other good PCI cards
And the following later on:
- Hard drives
- CPU (if I feel I need to)
So can you guys help me compile a list of recommended upgrades for each component and where I can buy the parts from as long as I can get them to the UK? I'd appreciate it very much.

Hi-
Recommend not leaving the hard drive for last. Machine performance is dependant on hard drives, and the faster the better. This should be the first item on your list.
WESTERN DIGITAL Caviar SE16 WD3200AAKB
Install maximum memory, 3x512MB PC133 DIMMs. Use only quality Mac compatible guaranteed memory.
PC133 SDRAM DIMM 512MB
Might be cheaper to buy from the US and pay VAT.
OWC 512MB PC133 CL2 2-2-2 168 Pin High Performance SDRam
A USB 2.0 PCI card does not have to be stated as Mac compatible if it has the NEC chipset.
NEC Chipset 5 Port USB 2.0 Card
Scan 5 Port PCI USB2 Card
For optical drive, recommend the Pioneer DVR-112 or the DVR-115.
Optical drives.
For graphics card, you need 4x AGP graphics, with Core Image support. You'll have to buy the 9800 Pro Mac from the US, or search eBay for an ATI Radeon 9700 or 9800 Pro (must be Mac compatible stated). Flashed PC cards (made Mac compatible) Geforce 6200, 6800GT or Ultra, or 7800GS are also available on eBay.
Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition
You don't need to upgrade the PSU.
Sound cards are only available from M-Audio, or, get a sound card in a box in the Griffin Firewave.
If you plug good external speakers into the audio out, you can get excellent sound without a card.
Recommend Harmon Kardon Soundsticks
And, finally, CPU upgrades in the UK are pretty well limited to Sonnet.

Since Safari for Windows is a little old now. some things may no longer display properly if the website creator moves to newer technologies not supported on older browsers. You are likely to see this in more and more sites as they update themselves.
I suggest using a more modern browser.

Need help picking the correct hard drive upgrade for my MBP

I need help picking the correct/best hard drive upgrade for my MBP. It is the 15" 2GHz Core Duo. Came with a spacious 90GB drive.
Suggestions and recommendations very appreciated.

It will take almost any 2.5 inch sata drive.
Take a look at www.newegg.com and www.macsales.com to see what's out there and how much it costs.
Toshiba have a 320gb 2,.5 inch drive in the works, but it's not quite out yet and will be expensive.
I'll start you off..

Good place to get upgrades for a Quicksilver

I just picked up a Quicksilver G4 800. I am looking to get some upgrades for it. I am looking at get a dual 1ghz but I would also like to upgrade the video card and add sata drives to it. Where is a good place to get mac upgrades and what is a good card for the quicksilver. I do a lot of video stuff.

If you run Tiger on your systems, the nVidia GeForce 6200 AGP video card with 256 MB shared memory is a popular one, because it is optimized for Quartz Extreme and Core Image. nVidia never made a Mac version; but many East Asian cards with flashed ROMs can be found on eBay, others on Amazon.

The above example claims hardware support for OpenGL, Core Video, and Core Animation, making it suitable for Leopard. I cannot confirm these claims. Mine (from eBay) came with an audio VGA adapter and digital DMI adapter.

Want detailed sample code(value list handler pattern) for my case

I am trying to write a Session Facade Bean with getAllUsers() method which get Collection pased from my UserBean(entity), to get all my users info.and I have a helper class called UserInfo
public class UserInfo implements java.io.Serializable
public String userid;
public String username;
public String password;
     public UserInfo()
     public void setUserInfo(String userid,String username,String password)
          this.userid=userid;
          this.username=username;
          this.password=password;
I dont' know How my ejb client(jsp maybe) to use value list handler pattern to implement getting all users shown.
I found http://java.sun.com/blueprints/corej2eepatterns/Patterns/ValueListHandler.html the sample code is to complex.
any one could help me figure out ...
what helper class do i need .or maybe interface
what is the best practice?
thanks in advanced.

Hi,
For a J2EE system with session facades, I've implemented that pattern based on the DTO pattern.
The idea is based on Sun's blueprint Pet Store implementation.
For that' I've created a DTO called "ListChunk", which holds a chunk of the complete list. In the Pet Store
application v1.3.2 it's called "Page".
So, those facade methods that would possibly return a huge list (such as getAllXXX and findXXX)
return a ListChunk. As arguments, those methods take start index and the maximum size.
If you want a value-list handler to control the iteration on your client side, you code such a class that
uses the facade method.
Here's some code:
public class ListChunk implements Serializable {
     private List list;
     private int startIndex;     // starts on '0'
     private int totalSize;
     public ListChunk(List list, int startIndex, int totalSize) {
          this.list = list;
          this.startIndex = startIndex;
          this.totalSize = totalSize;
     public List getList() {
          return list;
     public int size() {
          return list.size();
     public boolean hasNext() {
          return totalSize > (startIndex + list.size());
     public boolean hasPrevious() {
          return startIndex > 0;
     public int getTotalSize() {
          return totalSize;
}And a method in the facade could look like this:
     public ListChunk getAllCoWorkers(int startIndex, int maxSize, CoWorkerSortBy sortBy) {...}

Here are some options:
1. turn off your device completely for at least 30 sec
connect your device to your computer
update using iTunes in your computer.
2. If the first option fails, try resetting first the settings (setting>general>reset>reset all settings). Once done click on settings>general>software update

Final Cut express upgrade for intel macbook pro

I need help i used to have a G5 desktop and got DVD Studio Pro 3 and then i got Final Cut pro 4 with Upgrade, i try to install this software to the intel Macbook Pro wich i have 2 gig of memory, but if I install DVD Studio Pro 3 and Final Cut pro 4 it will run too slow and there is also the error pf agp graphic card missing i know that if you hit esc will run but it is to slow my hp 2.0ghz is faster i need help on which is the best upgrade for the intel mac so i don't have to purchase the software again i saw on www.apple.com/universal/crossgrade there are some option i call apple and they told me to buy the Final Cut Pro 4 or HD (4.5)for $199.00 but i want to make sure this is what i need to do! help

Yes you need to crossgrade to 5.1
The offer only lasts until the end of December and after that it'll probably go back up to $699.
Also I wanted to point out that you're in the Final Cut Express forum asking about Final Cut Pro. Not a huge deal but in the future you might get better results asking Final Cut Pro related questions in the Final Cut Pro forum.
i know that if you hit esc will run but it is to slow my hp 2.0ghz is faster
Your HP runs Final Cut Pro and DVD Studio Pro faster?!? Huh...Bwa?!?
By this I assume you mean your HP runs comparative programs faster (Avid)

Quicksilver dual GHz upgrades for ProTools??

I have a Quicksilver dual GHz G4 that served me well under OS9 and Digidesign ProTools LE prior to version 7. ProTools is a recording application, and I use Digidesign's 002 "control surface" for recording, mixing and editing with PTLE.
Version 7 or ProTools LE requires OSX Tiger, and to insure a solid transition, I formated my hard drives and did a clean install of OSX Tiger and ProTools. Unfortunately, Digidesign states that the Quicksilver Macs are "not recommended" for use with v7 PTLE, and my Quicksilver machine is totally unstable now. Digidesign won't comment on why they are not recommended, but I'm wondering if there are any upgrades to consider before buying a whole new machine, or going back to OS9.
I have done a lot of testing, reformatting of drives, reinstalling software, but to no avail. As the Quicksilver ran quite well under OS9 with ProTools, I'm not sure if its a problem with OSX or the new version of ProTools. To run an older version of ProTools, I have to de-install the new version and jump through many hoops to re-authorize (via web sites and an iLok dongle) the software ware and other plug-ins for ProTools.
The ProTools 002 control surface is a Firewire device, and I wonder if the FW400 bus of the Quicksilver can't keep up.
There are mixed reviews about CPU upgrades, FW and ATA controller cards, but I'm wondering if these may offer some relief.
If anyone has any experience using a Quicksilver Mac with ProTools, or any upgrades, please chime in. I could really use a hand here.
thanks in advance,
Dave

Anybody out there have experience with CPU upgrades for the Quicksilver Macs and ProTools?

This did not help me at all. I wanted to delete my purchased list. Delete. It is taking up to much of my space. It should be up to each person if they want to delete this off their ipad. Why should everyone be punished for this.

I want to delete my purchase list and apple is saying you can't. Why? It should be up to each person, if they want to put something back on there they will have to repay. Why do we all have to be punished for this. I am not the only one that would like to have this deleted. It is taking up to much space on my I pad. I am not happy at all about this.

What did not help you?
You cannot delete apps from the purchase list nor can you delete the purchased list. That list is NOT taking up space on your iPad. It is just a list of the apps that you have purchased over time.
If you want to HIDE the purchases so that you do not have to see them, you can do that in iTunes on your computer. You can read about it here.

Can you help advise re video card upgrade for my G4 MDD?

Hello all. Just upgraded to Tiger from 10.2.8 a couple weeks ago. Should have done it long ago... like having a new computer! I want to get more out of the OS for mostly graphic apps like PS-CS2, Painter, Freehand, Fontographer, etc. Right now I have 1.5 GB of RAM & will probably max it out pretty soon.
No video or games (at least for near term). Have been doing homework by lurking here, studying mfr. sites & reading things like John Siracusa's great article (book) on arstechnica.com: "Mac OSX 10.4 Tiger". I spent a lot of last night digesting that. So I think I know what I want to do, but would appreciate opinions.
1. I'd like to get a graphics card that will get my G4 to Core Image-enabled. According to this -- http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/coreimage/ -- and other advice I've run across in these forums, I should probably get a Radeon 9800 (or 9600) Pro Mac Edition. The downside w this is just that they're currently not to be found at any dealers I've called or googled because of the AMD merger/backorder situation. Same goes for the 9600. Bummer. In the meantime I'm wondering if one of Nvidia models listed in the Apple page might work in my machine. Probably not... but does anyone know different? Here are the models listed:
nVidia GeForce FX Go 5200
nVidia GeForce FX 5200 Ultra
nVidia GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL
6800 GT DDL
I think I've seen most of these configured for AGP 4x, as I would need. Just don't know if any would fit into my G4... or if it would support the power requirements, heat levels, and so on that these things apparently generate.
2. I have another requirement besides just running Tiger happily. I have hundreds of fairly big image files that all still need a lot of work, for a book project I've been commissioned to do. Average file size around 200MB. And more than half of them are in a "Legacy" proprietary format used by an out of print app called Live Picture. So even just to convert all of them from that IVUE / FITS format scheme I still need either classic or 9.2 for a while. I can still do some things in L.P. better than in Photoshop.
It's a pretty interesting piece of software. The IVUE file is the base bitmap image. All corrections are in Vector layers on top. When done, the layers you want to apply are turned on and the final (or workaround buildout) is rendered as a TIFF, PS or stn file. (It also has a great prepress filtering engine to optimize cmyk for specific outputs). This app is VERY monitor drawing intensive - especially for layers with textures or selective color mods. When I was an early adopter in the program years ago, the developers constantly told us to do things like use as small a window as possible; turn off antialiasing unless really needed; build out intermediate IVUE's before collecting too many complex layers, and things like that. It has it's own VM system, and it does not like another Virtual Mem. running. Of course in Classic you can't turn off the OSX VM!
Development on this app stopped the arrival of OSX, and I think even before OS9! It was crash-prone back then, and of course is even more fussy in Classic. I can boot in OS9, but for some reason prefer the "security" of protected mode, since these new-fangled machines no longer have that civilized reset button.
So if I understand things properly, I want a graphics engine that will take the load off RAM for Quartz Extreme tasks. I've come to think that maxing RAM AND VRAM utilization will let me do more before the crash. Am I right?
Not necessarily the same needs as for Photoshop in Tiger; but for me right now this is my critical/important working environment, as this is a big paid project (it will be a vintage watch coffee table book - which draws from a couple of the world's notable private collections). It shouldn't be long before I'll be getting a MacPro anyway. Am sort of holding out for the sophomore edition, and Leopard.
What would you guys do? Thanks in advance for your consideration. I will greatly value your input.
Best regards,
Mike
G4 MDD 867, G4 Q'slvr 733 Mac OS X (10.4.8) also iBook G3 900 10.4.8 (G4 733 still running 10.2.8)
G4 MDD 867, G4 Q'slvr 733 Mac OS X (10.4.8) also iBook G3 900 10.4.8 (G4 733 still running 10.2.8)

Thanks very much for the info. Kind of what I thought.
Re their price gouging - Ouch! A 66% markup from retail, and they're refurbished. I think I can wait a month or so... of course if those cards were dc'd, I might consider it. But I talked to a guy at ATI, and he didn't give any such indication.
I did find a GeForce4 Ti4600 (NOS) for a pretty reasonable figure at another site, but that's an older, slower card. I'm impatient, so I'm tempted, but I think I'd be kicking myself if I didn't wait for the better solution.
Are you saying that I won't really do any better in Classic with the ATI, compared to my stock GeForce4 32MB? Forgot to mention I'm using a 22" Cinema (ADC), if that makes any difference. And I'll be running Classic probably on top of Jaguar (I installed Tiger on a fresh new second internal drive). I thought I'd skip mixing Classic with Tiger altogether, but when I booted up the first time, there it was in Sys. Pref's. I guess it saw OS9 on the other drive during install. That's sort of funny.
I guess my question is mostly answered. Will put up the flag shortly.
Thanks again.
Mike

Sorry, I have no idea what you are asking. You list your device as a Pre, and "6.1" has no relevance at all...

Want help in rdesktop software

friends i want help in installing the rdesktop software plesae tel me the guid of installing rdesktop software . where i can find the rdesktop installation guid
regards
Asif

I had a look around for some solaris binaries for rdesktop but the only link I could find was broken.
The software was, however, very easy to compile. The instructions in the README file are pretty standard and should work for most Solaris installs.
./configure
make
make install
This installs the software into /usr/local by default.
These worked fine for me although you will of course have to make sure you install gcc and openssl (As these are both used by rdesktop). You can get these from www.sunfreeware.com. Install them, unpack the rdesktop distribution change into he rdesktop directory and run the 3 commands above.

Cal Day input help not calendar but list of entries in infoprovider?

Good Day,
is there any setting in BEX or on the infoobject defintion that changes the behaviour of the input help?
We got the requirement that for a loaddate field (referencing 0CALDAY) not the calendar as input help should be displayed (when user clicks input help or presses F4 in the query filter) but a list of load dates that are in the info provider.
All replies are appreciated and points assigned.
Best regards,
Axel

Hello Axel,
As long as the InfoObject is of Type Date or Reference a Date InfoObject, you will get a calendar popup when you try selecting the value in the Selection screen.
If your requirement is to have a list format, then you could try creating a new InfoObject of Type DATS.
Another approach would be to create a new InfoObject of Type CHAR 10. Write a routine in the transformation to populate this. You need to store it as YYYY.MM.DD, if you want it to appear in Chronological order in the Selection Screen.
Hope this helps you out.
Regards
