What are the limits to the macbooks graphics??

I am thinking about buying a macbook (2.2 ghz, 2 gigs of ram, 120gb hard drive, running leapord), and I was wondering which of the following programs/tasks it will be able to run without to much trouble, or if I have to buy a macbook pro. I will be running parallels on it so I do not believe windows/mac compatibility will be a problem. If it is please specify. For games/video, graphics/fps matter very little to me, I just want to be able know what is happening. I do not expect to be blow away by any means.
Fable: lost chapters
simple video editing (no more than adding and removing clips. No effects.)
wc3
wow
star craft 2 (when it comes out. I realize there are no specs for this yet)
counter strike/hl2 (this might be a problem i realize)
a few other low end games
Oblivion (I do not think it will work, because it is only for windows/parallels does not work well with it. And i think it is a little too power-hungry)
word processing
itunes
watching video
c/c++ programing
pearl programing
flash creation
ps:will leopard slow it down at all? or should i use tiger?

Well, if fps don't matter much, then you should be fine with 2.2Ghz and 2 gigs of ram.
I'm actually getting a Macbook in Jan, and will only be buying with 1 gig ram, then ugrading to 4 gig from Crucial.com. (Crucial - £94, Apple - £540)
I'll be playing WC3 and possibly Guitar Hero 3, unless Aspyr is really serious about the non-intel graphics.
And about Leopard slowing things down, from most of the reviews I've read, it actually is faster than Tiger.

    I have been waiting since months for the new IPad4G 64 Gbt. ON recommendation of Apple Support I have changed my IPad 4G last week in the hope that something was wrong with the firts one I bought.
    The one I have now has the same problems. WiFi is working however 4G not at all. Apple what can I do? What are you doing for the thausands of German Apple fans who have bought a IPad4G and can not use it. We need a solution NOW. I´m working with this tool and need to be able to rely on it.
    Thanks for a feed back.

  • What are tools used by the xi/pi system ,to bug the errrors

    hi gurus,
    what are tools used by the xi/pi system ,to bug the errrors.
    regards,
    subba reddy

    For all kind of errors the only tool available which bugs or say alerts for the error is Alert Management.
    Alerts are messages which can be raised in case of failure.
    Alerts - used for system errors, u can send a mail or msg whenever there is any failure. alert configuration can be done in t-code - ALERTCATDEF.
    Alert Categrory can be defined in transaction ALRTCATDEF on abap stack. we can assign receipients to every alert category which specifies who will receive alert in case of error.
    Alert rules can be defined in RWB.
    for configuring alerts u need follwing roles first for defining or creating alertcategory
    the roles reuired to access the RWB are:
    1. SAP_XI_RWB_SERV_USER
    2. SAP_XI_RWB_SERV_USER_MAIN
    The roles for the Alert Management are:
    1. SAP_ALM_ADMINISTRATOR
    2. SAP_ALM_CUSTOMIZER
    3. SAP_BC_ALM_ALERT_USER
    Once this is done
    alert category is defined and then tested
    For Alert please see
    The specified item was not found.

  • What are Azure limitations for Websockets in Cloud Services (web and worker role)?

    A WebSocket Server should be built on Azure platform with OnPrem connections and have questions regarding limitations for Websockets in Azure Cloud Services - web and worker roles.
    Websockets can be configured for Web Sites and limitations are understood, but Azure Websites is not an option. 
    Nevertheless it is planned to run a web service (without UI - no web site) as a Cloud service which has secure websocket (WSS) connections to OnPrem machines. Websocket protocol is enabled for IIS8 on Cloud services web and worker roles. Azure Service Bus Relay
    is not an option.
    Questions:
    1) Are Websockets supported for Azure Cloud services web and worker roles? we assume yes
    2) What are potential limitations from Azure side to support concurrent Websocket connections? We are aware that CPU, memory etc are limitations, but are there additional limitations from MS Azure side? 
     

    Hi,
    As I know, azure cloud service web and worker role support Websockets, users can connect to the role via the special endpoint, if we use Azure cloud service, I think we can monitor the metrics such as CPU, memory, etc... and scale our cloud service via these
    metrics to keep the websockets working, refer to
    http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/cloud-services-how-to-scale/ for more information about how to scale a cloud service.

  • What are the limitation of the 4 Port Gigabit ethernet Security Service Module (4GE SSM)?

    I was wondering if anyone can help me out. I am trying to create a redundancy topology which require several connections to an ASA 5510. I am looking at extending the connections to my ASA 5510 appliance with the four port gig ethernet security module (4GE SSM). I am trying to find out what the limitations are on this particular module.
    I have heard that there might be limitations to the 4GE SSM. Such as the interfaces on this module might process data separately from the ASA 5510 appliance. My question is does the ASA four port gig ethernet security module (4GE SSM) interfaces act as a extension of the ASA 5510 appliance or does it process and filter data separate from the ASA 5510 appliance ?
    My concerns are that the 4GE SSM does not utilize all the security features of the ASA 5510 appliance, and that it just separates traffic into security zones. I interpret that to mean that each interface can be placed in a separate security level in which case has a separate security algorithm and uses the security level to force security policies. Nothing more.
    My second question if relevant would be what are the limitations?
    Thank you for your help on this topic.
    mike

    The 4GE SSM just gives you the four additional ports. It doesn't increase the processing capacity of the 5510 (a relatively low end box whose replacement - the 5515X -  has been out since this past spring). It works off the same configuration script and CPU as all the built-in ports.
    The only limitation I can think of off the top of my head is that members of an Etherchannel cannot span the SSM and the built-in ports.

  • FAQ: What are the limitations of the free, 30-day trial version of Premiere Pro?

    The free, 30-day trial version of Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 and earlier lacked many of the most useful and popular codecs,  including codecs for MPEG-2, AVCHD, and RED media. This meant that  people had a hard time evaluating the software for real-world use.
    Not any longer.
    The trial version of Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5, and later includes all of the  codecs that are included with the full version of Adobe Premiere Pro  CS5.5. This means that you can import and export to all of the supported  file formats using the trial version.
    See this page for more details about the trial version.
    For lists of formats that you can import into and export from Adobe Premiere Pro, see these pages:
    formats that you can import into Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5
    formats that you can export from Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 through Adobe Media Encoder
    formats that you can export directly from Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5

    There are no limitations for 30 days, it will work exactly as if you have a subscription. But if you don't get a subscription, after 30 days, you will no longer be able to launch the program.

  • What are the Limitations of the Siebel Workflows ?

    Hello There,
    I'm doing a research about the limitations of Siebel workflows if you have any Ideas please share.
    Thanks

    In regards to what?
    What would be the purpose of that list other than trying to make the product look bad in a comparison with
    another product. Looks to me like your looking for the wrong arguments, try to find ones that will make your executives go
    for CRM Siebel, instead of trying to find the flaws and digging up dirt.
    If you have a business case you would like to solve with workflows, bring it on and we will help you find a solution to it.

  • What are the limitations of the free trail? Where's my saved project?

    I just spent two days editing a project in the FCPX free trail. Since there is no save option, I assume it saves as does iMovie. Reopening your project exactly where you left off. Thus, I closed the project after finishing it, in  an attempt to make sure it was actually saved, only to find that now my two-day's worth of work seems to be nowhere to be found.

    Hey Andy, thanks a lot for your response. I found it helpful.
    Your point of perhaps me not actually creating a project may be the issue. "working within my event" as you put it. I attempted to create a project when I first opened FCpX but since it's brand new to me, there is a lot that I don't understand.
    I have a current event. "CurrentVersion.fcpevent" which is in my Final Cut Events folder, but everytime I open or close it, it updates the time stamp, but the content of the event has never changed since closing the app upon completing my editing. When I closed it and reopened it my entire timeline where I had built my complete project was empty, but all my content which I used to create the project was in the bin. Including the sound files I pulled in during the project which were not originally downloaded.
    So, I have an event with all my media but NOTHING in the program edit timeline since finishing and closing the app.
    Hopefully, this make things more clear.
    With what you answered, I'm led to believe that maybe I did something wrong in not "actually creating a project". How is what I did different than creating a project? Otherwise, my only remaining conclusion is that the 30-day free trial version has no project saving functionality.
    DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THAT MIGHT BE THE CASE? The Apple site says NOTHING about missing functionality in the free trial, nor any other site I find. It's just called "fully functioning". Maybe NOT!
    Thanks.

  • What are the limitations of the 10 Client server License?

    I can't find any documentation on the limitations. (Searching Apple's support site is a bear....)
    I want to set up a web-server, and I think the 10 Client License is good enough to do that. But If I'm going to (somehow) be limited to 10 users at a time, I might as well just use Linux. (I don't have $999 for an unlimited license)

  • What are your opinion on the new mac pro

    I feel while radical its too limiting thereby loosing fuctionality. But I also knw how the iSheeps would follow their iSheperd blindly. There making this kind of thunderbolt for everything the norm. I also know that the PC companies brought this on themselves they failed to innovate followed intel and nvidia to blindly with there xeons and quadro. The 3 major pc makers market professional workstations that you would probaly sell ur kidney to get one we have the z820 while very powerful its just 2 xpensive. Let's take for example the imac is the best bang for d buck most beautiful all in one if hp had used say a normal 3770k and a gtx 680m 4gb dat would have brought the price of the z1 down drastically. Let's say d average joe wants to be an editor, compositor, colorist. if u goole pc workstations hp z820 and dell T7600 would pop up but they are dam so xpensive hp consumer PCs are garbage. If there is onething apple knows the average pro does not want to be bothered with specs. I think the pc industry brought this on themselves. Wat of the smaller custom builder they focused so much on gaming big megatron design like cases with all the talk of FPS is every thing. My only prayer is that asus, msi gigabyte should stand up aganist apple and start releasing sexier designs, unless I fear even adobe is not safe cos most editors would gradually drfit back to FCPX sad wen inferior products triumphs a superior one. Pls drop ur thoughts also ur opnions as editors in your location the general trend. I hate to be locked in a garden where I am told this is what I need. I love choices.

    The 2 biggest problems with the new Mac Pro are the complete reliance on Thunderbolt for expansion and the Proprietary GPU modules. What happens when those Fire Pro cards are EOL and new GPU's are available. Will Apple go to any of the GPU manufacturers and get newer modules manufactured. Considering the applications that are moving to GPU processing, that was really a very bad idea simply because of the Minimum order quantity Apple will have to make to run another module. Apple will not be able to pull from the general video card supply which means they will be solely responsible for any production numbers required to manufacture to begin with. I personally expect this to be a major limitation as time goes on.
    The complete reliance on Thunderbolt for expansion really was bad idea and not ready for prime time. TB2 has the total bandwidth of a PCI-E Gen 2 5x. That is the entire pipe available to pump any video output data, high performance storage, I/O devices, and any number of devices available as time goes on especially video cards. Those trying to GPU process through that pipe are going to find that latency is way to much a problem to get that done. If Lightpeak was out and had the bandwidth of PCi-E Gen 2 or Gen 3 16X then I would say great. There is just to small a pipe and to much device moderation at the TB controller to do this now. The major problem that will develop from this later is when Lightpeak is out for the PC and devices start moving there. Where will Apple be with the Mac Pro when it's entire expansion is legacy in 1 to 2 years. As a final note Thunderbolt 2 is just Thunderbolt 1 with 1 bidirectional channel in stead of 2 unidirectional. This is not a major improvement over the original.
    The final consideration though not a major problem yet is the limit to 6 Core Xeons. This is likely due to the heat the 8 Core Xeons generate combined with a centralized cooling design. One of the major reasons to get a Dual Xeon is the 8 Core CPU options. Without that then there really is far less reason to get a Dual Xeon over a single 6 core and eventually 8 core workstation. This is a sacrifice that will reveal more later than now.
    Considering the Mac Pro is meant to be the flagship platform for Apple's Pro market, there are really way to many limitations on this one to compete with the PC equivalents. There is only so much OSX will add to any system.

    You really need to do your research on this subject.
    I software is free to iPhone users NOT because of the contracts that people have with AT&T.
    It is free because Apple decided to account for the iPhone (and Apple TV) differently.
    When you pay your $400 for the iPhone they do not recognise the full $400 as a sale.
    What they do (and this has been very clearly stated by Apple), is take 1/24 of the $400 each month.
    This is not money from AT&T is is the money that was paid for the phone.
    Now because in effect Apple are not taking the revenue and profit for the full phone at point of sale and instead only take a % every month the buyer is paying for the phone over the 24 month period.
    Therefore Apple can and will give free software updates because in effect the product sold is not complete and can take money as they add features.
    This complicated accounting method was caused by the EXON issues and the Sabane Oxley laws that resulted from that case.
    If you would like to know more, so that you understand rather than rant, you can read more here in an excellent article that explains it in more detail :-
    http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/08/06/25/thehidden_financial_impact_of_applesiphone.html
    The iPod touch on the other hand is accounted for like all other products, all revenue / profit taken at time of sale. If Apple gave the software Upgrades (not bug fixes as they are free) away for free they would be breaking the law as it would deprive shareholders of potential revenue that should have been charged for adding features to a product that has been already sold. That is why we ahd to pay for the iMac Airport 'N' drivers as well.
