  • What is the fastest CPU I could put in Satellite Pro L20

    This is a desperate request for help!!
    The Football Manager 2010 is coming out soon and my laptop needs to be up to scratch.
    I know I need to upgrade it because Football Manager 2009 nearly killed it!
    At the moment I have 1.4ghz Intel Celeron M chip and 704mb of ram.
    What is the fastest chip I could put in? I've done a bit of research and found I can only have 2gb of ram
    The laptop is in perfect working order so I don't want to buy a new one just for the sake of it and its served me well over the last 4 years - I've dropped it enough times! Just need to speed it up a bit!

    Hmm... Do you really want to upgrade the pretty old Satellite Pro L20? I mean new notebooks are not so expensive anymore and I doubt that you will get a strong performance boost with new CPU.
    Anyway, in your notebook is only the preinstalled CPU pretested and nobody is able to say what other CPUs will run. But you should look on the specifications for other Satellite Pro L20 notebooks. If another L20 is equipped with faster CPU, it should also work in yours. You can try it but in worst case it will not work.
    Good luck!

    On further research it was discovered that the t9900 is supported by the BIOS. That makes it a prime contender for a transplant into your notebook.

  • What's the fastest way to copy 151GB, 375000 files from win 2003 server to win 2008 server

    Non techie here.
    I have a project where I need to get 151GB of data spread over 375000+ files moved from a win 2003 FAP to a 2008 server. Copy, xCopy, Robocopy all take in excess of 50hours to move it to an external HDD. Has to be external move for security reasons.
    I have 40 hours max to get it off and onto the new server.
    Cheers 
    Ian

    I copied over 12TB in 24 hours using the method below. A lot of this depends on your infrastructure. The scripts I used are unmodified for your case. I suggest you give them a look and understand the process and change it to fit your needs.
    There are 2 parts. The first is a Main script that schedules PowerShell jobs that actually do the work. The main script will read a file called JobCount every loop to see how many jobs it can run at one time, the reason I did this was to change the number
    of jobs depending on Day (production) times and Night times. Also, the Main loop reads a nomig file that tells the script, don't move these folders because they were our test cases, you can even do test cases during the migration since you can modify the file
    while the script is running. The example was use to move thousands of home folders. Using Robocopy if you tell a single command to do everything, it will take hours to start, just looking around. If you do one root folder at a time, it will run much faster
    which is the reason I created this. If you have a small number root folders, you may want to point it at folders where you do have a lot of subs, remember you can have more than one main process running in different runspaces.
    Main Script 
    VVVVVVVVVV
    $homeOld = (Get-ChildItem -Path \\server\share | select name)
    $JobRun = 10
    $i = 0
    $Count = $homeOld.Count
    foreach ($homeDir in $homeOld) { 
        $i = $i + 1
        $Sdir = $homeDir.Name
        Write-Progress -Activity "Migrating Homes" -Status "Processing $i of $Count"  -PercentComplete ($i/$homeOld.Count*100) -CurrentOperation "Next to Process $Sdir"
        $not = gc \\serverl\share\script\nomig.txt -ErrorAction "Stop"
        $JobRun = gc \\server\share\script\jobcount.txt -ErrorAction "Stop"
        if ($not -notcontains ($homeDir.Name).ToLower()) {
                While ((Get-Job -State "Running").Count -gt ($JobRun-1)) {
                    Start-Sleep -Seconds 3
                if ((Get-Job -State "Completed").Count -gt 0) {
                $Comp = Get-Job -State "Completed"
                foreach ($Job in $Comp) { 
                    $outfile = $Job.name + ".txt"
                    Receive-Job -Job $Job | Out-File -FilePath "\\server\share\verify\$outfile"

    This comes with no warranty, it is just an idea I used to do a very fast copy with permissions and all attributes, where no other method was useable.

  • What is the FASTEST graphic card on AGP dual-proc G5?

    I am running a Dual-proc PowerMac 2.3 GHz under OS 10.4.7.
    I had a Radeon XT800XT graphics card; I "had" it, since it started after 6 months of usage to freeze my G5. Just isolated the card after a lots of testing as the trouble maker (due to startup problems I thought first the startup disk is defect, but it was not).
    Since I need to replace and Aperture performance was not that great with the XT800...:
    What is the fastest card I can put in?
    Is there a 512MB option?
    The card needs also to support the 30" ACD.
    Thank You,
    Peter

    You might try giving your machine more RAM and a RAID
    0 pair of 150GB 10,000 RPM Western Digital Raptors as
    a working disk.
    You'll need to install a Firmtek SATA PCI card
    because most of the non-Quad PowerMacs have outdated
    SATA interfaces.

    s/firmtek/1eve4/
    Big slow +50% filled boot drives serious affect Mac
    OS X performance.
    Clone your boot drive, visit Carbon Copy Cloner
    forums.
    Didn't take Apple long to tax a dual processor/core
    system with software, got to keep those hardware
    sales up you know.
    Thank You ds store for your XT800 advice.
    This was my concern, yes, the XT800 is still the best I can do.
    I have done all of the other upgrades:
    - I have 6GB memory
    - I have a GSATA 500Mb Raid-0 with the Firmtek card you mention (IO with 130MB/s)
    - ...and the XT800.
    That means I will have to straight replace the XT800 with another one.
    Regarding Aperture performance: Given my already well equipped G5, its really Apple's duty to further improve algorithms in Aperture (or some of the graphics and raw file algorithms in OSX) and not me to throw hardware at it.
    If you use adjustments like Highlights/Shadows and zoom into 100% image view in Apoerture, you start seeing the spinning ball.
    And I only shoot 8 megapixel files with the Canon-1DII. What if you have 1DS files with 16MP or - god forbid - Aperture would support a professional digital back with 22MP or more...

    Dec 26, 2013 8:04 PM (in response to OGELTHORPE)
    But the newest Mac notebooks do not have a firewire port.
    So he may need a TB to FW adapter, $29, a FW 400 or 800 cable, $??, and then a FW 400 to 800 cable/port adapter (If the old Mac only has a FW 400 port), $??.
    It is unknown if the old Mac has a FW 400 or 800 port.

  • What is the fastest way to transfer files and applications from an older iMac to a new MacBook Pro?

    What is the fastest way to transfer files and applications from an older iMac to a new MacBook Pro?
    I have a Firewire cable and Thunderbolt adapter, but no icons showing either Mac appear on either desktop.

    The fastest way is to use Carbon Copy Cloner and a external drive formatted GUID OS X Ext. J in Disk Utlilty, then connecting to the new Mac and using Migration Assistant in the Utilites folder.
    Even faster, if you can determine your going to replace all the apps from fresh sources anyway (like if the older Mac's OS X verison is old thus the apps) then just use a external drive and copy just your files to it, then connect to the new Mac and transfer over.
    Some apps you can just grab the registration code and install it fresh on the new machine with the old code, talk to the developer about transfering the program, as long as it's deleted on the older Mac in the process.
    It used to be Firewire Target disk mode was fastest, but since Thunderbolt came out...
    Notice this support doc hasn't been updated since june 2012, no Thunderbolt info

  • What is the best charging cable for the iPad Air (that is not made by Apple)? I need a long cable (over 6ft or more). I also need the cable to be of high quality and the cord part of the cable to be made of strong material.

    What is the best charging cable for the iPad Air (that is not made by Apple)? I need a long cable (over 6ft or more). I also need the cable to be of high quality and the cord part of the cable to be made of strong material. Apple does not make one this long. Is there a cable out there that is sturdy like this and is safe to use?

    yes, but I'm trying to use my iPad to type notes (using pages) and I have the smart case which I use as a stand. I need a cable long enough to fit through the back of my desk and the charging brick for the iPad won't fit behind the desk. I have to put it on the floor and then the apple cables aren't long enough to reach.

  • Buring a DVD now and then another one a week later. What is the fastest

    Buring a DVD now and then another one a week later. What is the fastest way to burn the second copy? I thought maybe burn to image but that doesn't seem to make a DVD that plays when you put it into a DVD player. Is "Save as video_ts folder" the best way? When I go to do a regular burn it wants to encode everything each time unless I do all my copies right away. There is zero help in iDVD's help.

    You can copy a disc image to a physical DVD with Apple's Disk Utility, but I prefer Toast.
    Re Video_TS folders: This folder is the guts of a DVD, but the option is more advanced than I am. Toast can handle these folders, and lets you add DVD-ROM content subsequently (but you can add any files to the DVD-ROM area of a DVD from within iDVD). Toast is also able to compress large Video_TS folders to better fit on a DVD (so that could be useful). The Help function in Toast was the source for this info.

  • What is the fastest way of getting data?

    With a scanning electron microscope, I need to scan a 512*512 pixel area with a pixel repetition of 15000 (two channels), meaning averaging over 15000 measurements. Simultaneously I have to adjust the voltage output for every pixel.
    I am using a 6111E Multifunction I/O board in a 800MHz P3. The whole task has do be done as fast as possible (not more than 20 minutes altogether).
    What is the fastest way to get this huge amount of data with averaging and output in between? (E.g. do I use buffered read with hardware triggering or is there a faster way?)

    Using the NI-DAQ API (not LabView) will give you a significant amount of more control over what happens and when to the data stream; which translates to a more efficient program. But you need to program in C/C++ or Delphi then. The Measurement Studio provides ActiveX controls that are like the LabView ones for C&C++ (they�re slow like the LabView ones though � not a lot you can do about the Windows GDI).
    What are you trying to sample 15000 times? The 512*512 pixel field?
    That�s almost 15Gigs of data! And it means you need to process data at 12.8MB/s to finish it in 20 minutes. I hope you know C, x86 assembly and MMX.
    I would setup a huge circular buffer (NI-DAQ calls them �double buffers�), about 30 seconds worth or so, to use with SCAN_Start. Then I would proces
    s the actual buffer the card is DMA�ing the data into with a high priority thread. Progressively sum the scan values from the 16bit buffer (the samples are only 12 bit, but the buffer should still be 16bits wide) into a secondary buffer of DWORDs the size of the screen (512*512), and you�ll need two of those, one for each channel. Once the 15000 scans are complete, convert each entry into a float divide by 15000.0f, and store it in a third buffer of floats.

  • What is the type of cable do i need for a macbook white to connect to a hdmi cable?

    what is the type of cable do i need for a macbook white to connect to a hdmi cable? This is quite a problem since macbook white is not in production anymore.

    First we need to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report if you’re running 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion). When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
    The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 model 6,1 and Mid 2010 model 7,1 White Unibody have a Mini DisplayPort. The Early 2006 model 1,1 through Early 2008 model 4,1s plus the Early and Mid 2009 model 5,2s have Mini-DVI ports. Each would take a different adapter to connect with the TV.

  • What is the most RAM I can put in mac book pro 15 inch 2.16(2006)?

    What is the most RAM I can put in mac book pro 15 inch 2.16(2006)?

    Depends. There were two version of the MBP that shipped in 2006 with different max RAM. The quickest way to see which is yours is to use System Profiler to get your Mac's "Model Identifier."
    Do "About this Mac" from the Apple menu and, in the resulting window, click "More Info..." That launches System Profler for you.
    The answer is in the first screen of Profiler that comes up--"Hardware Overview." Note the second line in this example:
    If the Model Identifier says "MacBookPro1,X" you are limited to 2G RAM. Period.
    If the Model Identifier says "MacBookPro2,X" you can install two, 2G modules for an installed total of 4G RAM, but the logic board can only access 3.2G of it. That becomes your "max RAM.
    Hope this helps,
