What Performance increase should I expect from 3000+ to 3400+

My sister is talking about upgrading her Machine, a PIII 1Ghz Machine. I told her All she would need is a new mobo/CPU an mem. I am thinking of perhaps buying a 3400+ and keeping it and setting her machine with my 3000+. What kind of percenteage increase should I see going to the 3400+? how about the 3700+? The 3700+ is a little pricey but if I can squeeze it by good, but most likely will be a 3400+

This gives you something to benchmark against.

  • What kind of performance should I expect from my Mac Mini?

    I just purchased a Mac Mini (Mid 2011) model. I got the 599 model with Core i5 2.3 ghz and 2GB of RAM.
    So far, I've been really disappointed with the performance. Launching programs like iMovie or iPhoto can take an extremely long time. When I hae iMovie and iPhoto open, switching between the two apps forces me to stare at the spinning beach ball for up to 30 seconds each time. Just opening launchpad seems to take a really long time.
    Is this normal performance or is there something wrong with my machine? Should I upgrade to 4GB of RAM?

    It's not so much that speed and performance are super important to me. I'm not editing professional video, working with After Effects, or playing the latest games at their highest quality. I really just use it for web surfing, working with photos in iPhoto, and maybe putting a movie together from my pictures with iMovie. I understand that with a lower power CPU, rendering a movie in iMovie, say, is going to take much longer than it would on a Mac Pro. I'm fine with that. But just basic tasks, such as switching between apps is painfully slow at 2GB. I know it's not a top of the line machine, but I kind of find that behaviour in a brand new machine with apps that come with it unreasonable.
    I recently upgraded to 4GB on the Mini and performance is much better. Switching and launching apps is acceptable now. I honestly think though that Apple just shouldn't be selling new Macs with anything less than 4GB if that's what it really requires to be functional and not frustrating to use.

  • What should I expect from RT Extreme?

    I just setup FCE 4 on my Mac Pro Tower (2.8 Ghz Quad-Core, 4 GB RAM). I'm using it to work with the AVCHD files from my new Canon HF100 that are recorded at 1920 x 1080. I'm importing the clips with the Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60 in order to retain the highest quality so I can output them to HD DVD. However RT Extreme reports that it cannot play these clips which have no effects or adjustments without dropping frames. Is that what I should expect? Certainly RT Unlimited mode gives a working alternative but I guess I wasn't expecting that the native files wouldn't be playable.
    Am I just expecting to much?
    (BTW - I've compared the data rate of the native files to the render files; its about 95 mbits/s for the native and 56 mbits/s for the render files. Maybe that reveals the answer.)
    Thanks!

    "So FCE cannot work with 1080p, correct, just 1080i?"
    Maybe, maybe not. There are other factors involved and the frame size compression doesn't have anything to do with whether it's progressive or interlaced.
    1. Not sure where you got that from. AVCHD is an extraordinarily heavily compressed format. AIC using far less compression compared to the original.
    2. The progressive or interlace function should have no effect on the rendering requirements only the frame size.
    3. Actually your storage requirements for AIC will be about 10 times greater than the native AVCHD media.

  • Power adapter almost caught fire today, what should I expect from Apple??

    I had been having some little niggles with my adaptor over the last week or two. It started of with the cable being lose, and dropping the charge at the slightest movement, this was rather irritating, as I no battery, due to the recall. The problem continued and got worse. For the last few days, the charger has failed to work at all at some times, and at others, the power has been flickering on and off.
    But today, I picked up the charger, and it started sparking, with smoke coming out of it!!
    I imediatly unplugged it.
    Considering this computer is only 1 year old, I am very angered at having a, quite frankly, rather dangerous and unusable charger. And since I have about 40mins left till my laptop is unusable, I need a new charger, quick!
    I hope Apple will replace my charger, free of charge (pardon the pun) as it is unreasonable for the charger to last this long. I am unsure if I am still covered by my warrenty, I bought the laptop about a year ago.
    I will be a VERY angry customer if Apple does not fix the problem!!
    Take this as a warning - the Powerbook power adaptors can become dangerous!

    Whilst browsing, I came across this post:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2569334&#2569334
    I have been having the same problems, and that could have been the cause of my charger shorting and almost cathing fire - be warned!

  • How much lifespan should I expect from MBA 2013?

    Never been into Macs before, but finally going with one. My laptops usually lasted me 2-3 years.
    How much would a standard macbook air last? and what if I add 8GB Ram ( not money issue, but rather that I might not find it available where I live.)
    Use will be office/programming on bootcamp.
    Assignments/web surfing/studying/music/movies on OSX.

    It is really hard to say - we've not had a computer that cannot be upgraded in a very long time. It might be that as software and the OS is upgraded those of us with 4GB of RAM might find our performance lagging from the lack of RAM. People with only 2GB are already experiencing it. And Apple does tend to stop supporting computers after a certain time period - that tends to be about 5-6 years - at which point you cannot upgrade to the newest and snazziest operating system. But it doesn't necessarily mean the computer isn't usable.
    To put it in perspective, I have a 4 year old notebook that can be upgraded to Mavericks when it is released and I have every expectation that it will run it well. Will Apple still support it when the next OS is released? Will it run that new OS well if Apple does support it? Both good questions that can't be answered.
    A college student just recently bought my 6 year old iMac which runs Mountain Lion okay but not spectacularly. He installed Snow Leopard (two versions older) which it runs like a charm. He's a happy camper and I'd not be surprised if he's still using it when he graduates in 3 years. Why do I say that? Because among other things I have a 2003 iMac in my guest bedroom that is quite happily running Snow Leopard.

  • New MBP i5 coming, what kind of improvement to expect from old MBP?

    i got a 15" MBP in very late '07, 2.33 ghz core2duo, 2gb memory, 4m l2 cache, was a solid machine when i got it, now passing on to my sons to replace a nearly dead macbook...
    i've ordered a 2010 mbp 15" 2.53ghz i5 with the high res antiglare, kept the drive at 5400rpm and not the fancy solid state (too expensive, would rather have the high res screen, and going from 5400 to 7200 on platters didn't seem dramatic enough)
    in terms of using massive photo archives in iphoto, dvd creation in idvd, imovie along with all of the usual (lots of mail.app, tons of word/excel from msft), what kind of performance leap do you really think i can expect? will it be as dramatic as that 50-100 percent people imagine? or just "a lot better" - i know that it will look better because of the high res, i'm thinking more about app launch times, online video viewing (many tabs at once etc) and using photo/video intensive apps more...
    also running windows 7 in a parallels vm so hoping for even more speed...
    all thoughts welcome...

  • What production downtime should we expect during the technical upgrade?

    Hi,
    We are planning for a Upgrade from 4.7 to ECC 600, i need to know how can we able to calculate the downtime for the upgrade?
    Thanks.

    The production downtime is the period during the technical upgrade when the production system is out of service. The downtime period depends on various factors such as hardware power and size of the tables to be migrated, and is therefore contingent on each individual situation. SAP upgrade technology provides you with two strategy options: downtime-minimized strategy and
    Resource-minimized strategy.
    Characteristics of the downtime-minimized strategy:
    Shorter production downtime
    Parallel operation of production system and shadow system that enables the execution of as many upgrade tasks as possible during the uptime of the production system
    Higher demand on system resources
    Characteristics of the Resource-minimized strategy:
    No parallel operation of production system and shadow system
    Lower demand on system resources
    Increased production downtime
    SAP recommends that you perform the upgrade using the downtime-minimized strategy if a short production downtime is required.
    For more details refer

  • What IO throughput can I expect from the A7 Datawarehouse VM

    I have created an A7 DWH VM from the Azure gallery. Since this VM is based on the FastTrack DWH architecture I expect to see several gigabits per second throughput from the 15 SSD's. When I ran SQLIO on the VM I received around 30MB/s for sequential read
    \ write operations. Why is the throughput so slow?

    Hi,
    Have you find any application/process is using hign cpu/memory usage in task manager?
    By the way, I cannot find a link to download SQLIO.When I accessed the link below on the VM, there is no download option:
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=20163
    In addition, I recommend you to contact
    Azure support by submitting a support ticket to better analyze this issue and you won't be charged if this issue is caused by Azure.
    Best regards,
    Susie

  • MicroSoft color matching not working...whatelse should we expect from MS...using IE

    http://www.scbadasscoffee.com/play.html
    NOTE using IE: "***" image is a bit fuzzy. The color around
    the small image is suppose to be the same as the background color
    of the page "CD9933". Same is true for the color about the little
    radio image. The color is set to "CD9933".
    NOTE USING ALL OTHER browsers such as Firefox, Safari, Opera:
    The "***" image is sharp and the background colors to the "***" and
    "radio" match perfectly with the background HTML color.
    Please explain to me how MS is screwing me up and if there is
    away around this?
    Thanks, --bill

    I would say the only thing screwing you is you. They look
    exactly the same
    to me in IE6 and FF1.5x.
    But the color around the radio is definitely off in both
    (#CD9038).
    For sure, IE and FF render colors the same....

  • What EBS performance gains can I expect moving non-x86 (sun?) to x86?

    Hi,
    I was hoping some of you would please share any general performance gains you encountered by moving your EBS from non-x86 to x86. I'm familiar with the benchmarks from tpc.org and spec.org. The users however measure performance on how long it takes for a request to complete. For example, when we moved from our EBS from a two node sun E3500 (4*450 sparc II 8GB memory) to a two node v440 (4*1.28ghz sparc IIIi 8GB memory), performance doubled accross the board with a three year pay back.
    I am trying to 'guesstimate' what performance increase we might encounter, if any, moving from sun sparc to x86. We'll be doing our first dev/test migration the first half of '08, but I thought I'd get a reading from all of you about what to expect.
    Right now we're planning on going with a single-node, 6 cpu dual core 3Ghz x86, 16GB ram. The storage is external RAID 10. We process approximately 1000 payroll checks bi-weekly. Our 'Payroll Process' takes 30min to complete. Similarly, 'Deposit Advice' takes about 30min to complete. Our EBS database is a tiny 200GB, we have a mere 80 concurrent users, and we run HRMS, PAY, PA, GL, FA, AP, AR, PO, OTL, Discoverer.
    Thanks for your feedback. These forums are great.

    Markus and David,
    First let me thank you for your posts. :-).
    Markus:
    Thank you for the tip. However, I usually do installations with a domain adm user. It does a lot of user switching, yes, but then it only switches to users created by SAPINST, that is most of the time it is switching to <sid>adm, which sounds perfect. At the time of my post I had been setting some environment variables so as to try to get the procedure to distribute the various pieces and bits (saparch, sapbackup, saptrace, origlogs and mirror logs, datafiles, etc. exactly where I wanted them and not where the procedure wants them) so I ended up by using <sid>adm to perform the DB instance installation and not the domain adm user I had installed CI with (I forgot to change back). When I noticed I figured it wouldn't make a difference since it usually switches to <sid>adm anyway. However, for the next attempts I settled on ny initially created dom adm user and no change to the results. OracleService<SID> usually logs on as a system account so the issue doesn't arise, I think.
    and
    David:
    The brackets did it. Thank you so much. It went further and only crashed later, I don't usually potter around sdn, so I'm not familiar with the workings of this, I don't know how to reply separately to the posts and I don't know how to include a properly formatted post (I've seen the Plain Text help but I hate to bother with sidetrack details) so I apologize to all for the probably-too-compact jumble that will come out when I post this. I am now looking at the following problem (same migration to 64) so I fear I may have to close this post and get back with a new one if I can't solve this next issue.

  • What transfer speed can I expect via wired ethernet?

    3 iMac's wired to an AirPort Extreme....what transfer speeds should I expect?  I'm only getting 40-60MBps  IMac to IMac via Ethernet provides up to 70MBps. I am wanting to get a Thunderbolt Drive but worry that while the iMac that the Thunderbolt HD is plugged into will get much faster transfer rates, when access the Thunderbolt HD from another iMac on the network I will still be stuck with the 40-60MBps rate.  Surely there is a way to get faster network speeds than 40-60MBps?

    Tesserax,   You are are correct, I was just hoping that there was some way to get better performance out of my network speed so that the $1500 Thunderbolt purchase was worth it.  What I now plan to do is get the $999 model R4 4-1TB just so I can have one since the iMac that the Thunderbolt HD will be plugged in to will be doing the most editing so in some ways it does help me....just not as much as I was hoping it would.  I can at least take my old FireWire HD and plug it into my iMac and use that for FCPX projects that are for more personal than business use. 
    Having only 1 HD that 3 iMac's can use to edit images from has really helped me out with keeping everything in order.
    If you can daisy chain the Thunderbolt Drives I have to wonder why they didn't have it so 2 iMac's couldn't connect to 1 HD.  With 2 Thunderbolt ports on the iMac you would think you could connect iMacs together using 1 port on each then have the other port for like HD's, extra screens, etc You know what I mean?  If you are going to make this super fast port/cable you might as well make it to connect iMacs as well.

  • What is distance once can expect

    what is distance I can expect from a WRT54GS vs. a WRT300N?  I'm in country on a farm that is pretty much level or small rolling slopes.  No tree or other obstructions.

    "Small rolling slopes" can be pretty serious obstructions. A lot depends on whether the endpoints of tthe proposed path are at the tops of bottons on those small slopes.

  • HT1752 I both one Mac Pro 15" March 2009  and five month ago I have to change the harddrive and put some actional memories, since I have to make the upgrade for Lion IOS. Now the motherboard fails. What should I do or expect from Apple to solve this probl

    Hi everyone. I both a Mac Pro 15" in March 2009. Five month ago I  was forced to buy by one new hard drive and extent the memory, because I had to make the upgrade (and pay) to install the new Lion operation system. Four days ago the Mother-board fails. To change it will cost a fortune. What should I do or expect from Apple to solve this problem? I am very disappointed because my trust on Apple was destroyed.

    I am not sure why you are upset with Apple. Electronics equipment does fail. If the product is out of warranty or you do not have AppleCare there's not much you can do with Apple. Apple will charge you for the repair. Suggest you look for a third party repair store since they are usually less expensive than Apple. Alternatively you can buy one for about $850US and install it yourself. Sorry, but there aren't many choices in this situation.

    You should never, EVER let a conputer hard drive get completely full, EVER!
    With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
    If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
    Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
    Have you emptied your Mac's Trash icon in the Dock?
    If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
    If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
    If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
    Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
    Look through your other Mailboxes and other Mail categories to see If there is other mail you can archive and/or delete.
    Other things you can do to gain space.
    Once you have around 15 GBs regained, do a search, download and install OmniDisk Sweeper.
    This app will help you locate files that you can move/archive and/or delete from your system.
    STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
    Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
    Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
    Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
    Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
    When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
    Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
    move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
    If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
    Good Luck!
