Which is more powerful?? Please help

Which is the stronger computer?? Which is the better buy??
1) the new mini Mac, 2.7 i7, 8 gigs ram $1100
Or
2) 2008 : Mac Pro 3.1 (8-core, dual 2.8 Quad-Core Intel Xenon) no MULTI-threading
-10 gigs of ram
-ATI Radeon HD 4870 (upgraded graphics card)
-2TB internal HD
-Newer Technology MAX Power 6G PCIe 2.0 Raid/e-Sata Card (hot-swapable)

The Mini has a four-core CPU vs. the MP's eight cores. Just visit Geekbench - Primate Labs and look for benchmark results for each computer.
The MP uses full-sized 7200 RPM drives while the Mini uses a notebook drive that's 5400 RPM. The MP has more RAM, bigger HDD, better GPU that is upgradeable, and hardware RAID. Furthermore, MPs are built like a tank, have space internally for four drives, two optical drives, etc., etc., etc.
Like comparing chicken s**t to chicken salad.

  • Which is more powerful the old flat airport extreme or airport express

    Which is more powerful the old flat airport extreme or an Airport express

    The transmit power is the same on both the Airport Express and AirPort Extreme.
    However, the AirPort Extreme has a better antenna arrangement than the Express, so it would normally provide a bit better range, all things being equal.
    Depending on what version of the AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express that you might have, there may be some feature and performance differences in regard to wireless speed capability.  In order to quantify that, we would need to know the exact model number of the AirPort Express that you are asking about, as well as the exact model number of the AirPort Extreme.
    The model numbers of both products are found on the side or bottom of the device. Both models numbers start with an "A" followed by 4 numbers.
    It would help if you could provide some idea of what your actual goal might be here, since a "better" signal does not necessarily mean that you would notice any difference in day to day performance.

    Delete what? The ID's? They cannot be deleted - you just quit using it.
    If you still have one old ID - that you have purchased content with - you are saying that the password no longer works with that ID? Did you try to reset the password for that ID?
    Read this - instructions if the ID was disabled for entering the wrong password.

  • HT203200 I made yearly subscription to Chandamama junior English and Telugu magazines which are released on monthly.  I could download for only 2months and cannot download any more.  Please help

    I have made yearly subscription to Chandamama junior english and Telugu magazines which are released monthly by publishers.  I could download for only 2months from itunes store and now cannot download any more.  No error message.  When I enter my itunes store password, it simply ignores.  Please help.

    Hi Charlotte,
    You don't say what your version of Windows you have. Assuming XP, go to Start | Run, type DXDIAG and click OK. Click the Sound tab and run the tests to eliminate a hardware problem first of all. If you don't hear anything, check your cables first of all. Also make sure "Mute" isn't checkmarked in your sound setup. You'll find that in Windows Control Panel.
    Which browser do you use? If you have Firefox 4, sign up to the HTML5 trial @ http://www.youtube.com/html5
    HTML5 is the latest video standard and doesn't require Flash player. Google is in the process of converting all its files to work with the new format. It may solve you problem. If you don't have Firefox 4, you can get it from here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/
    IE8 doesn't support HTML5.
    To clean out your temp files, go to Start | Run, type: CLEANMGR and click OK. Click OK again to start the utility. Tick all the boxes except "Compress old files" because the latter takes too long, and then click OK. You can run this utility any time you wish by the way.
    The above steps will hopefully fix your problem. If not, post here again please.

  • Purchased a Movie, which has just disappeared - PLEASE HELP!!!

    I really need some help here please,
    A few hours ago, I purchased a Movie from the iTunes store which took 3 hours to download to my iPod touch which cost £6.99. A soon as it finished, I took then plugged it into my PC to transfer the purchase to my iTunes library, for a backup.
    Whilst I was doing this, iTunes (as per usual) froze on me when it was syncing and did not respond at all when I moved and clicked an area of the open window. Because of this, I was forced to quit iTunes and re-open it again, to try and get the film onto my PC.
    When I connected my iPod to iTunes again, the Movie disappeared from my iPod and there was no sign of it anywhere on my PC either. Where is it?!
    Because of this and un-aware I had to pay £7 again to download the movie on my iPod, I repeated the whole process and as before, the file just went missing on both my iPod and PC.
    You may ask "Why didn't you purchase it through iTunes on your PC?" and the reason why is because the iTunes Store doesn't work on the PC any more. I've tried hundreds of new and old solutions to fix this and none of them seem to work. I've disabled EVERY type of firewall that could potentially be blocking me using the store, disabled all spyware programs and it still won't work.
    I feel very angry and annoyed here, as I've spent £14 on 1 film I've tried to get twice and attempting to find a missing file that never appeared on my PC.
    So how do I resolve this constant freezing probelm with iTunes, how do I get the iTunes Store working again, and most importantly, is there any way of me getting my £14 back? Please help!
    Any answer will be greatly appreciated.
    Martin.

    I'm a begineer in labview. I want to evaluate an equation which has complex numbers through text code.. 
    Are you saying you don't want to use LabVIEW to evaluate this? In which case I suggest asking on a different forum.
    for(f=0;f<=2560;f=f+0.3125)
         R=((H12-e^(-i*k))/(e^(i*k)-H12))*e^(i*k);
    There is no 'f' in the loop, I don't understand what the loop would evaluate, unless k is a constant in which case the loop is redundant.
                k         function of frequency
                f          frequency 
    If k is a function of frequency you need to say what that function is. For example if you are evaluating 'k' for changing 'f' and applying it to the equation for R. I don't know what the best procedure would be but my first port of call would be nested loops: 'R' for each 'k' for each 'f' ?
    In the absence of a function for k this vi would evaluate you formula for k=f, I don't know if this wil help any.

    Without that Password you will not be able to re-activate it.

    There is No workaround.

  • Which is more powerful?

    I am thinking about purchasing a new MacBook Pro here soon which I will be using for some processor and graohics intensive stuff. I am wondering which one is more powerful, the baseline 13 inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display or the baseline MacBook Pro 15 inch without Retina Display. I am having trouble deciding because one has a quad core i7 but the other is solid state. But which one would have more power for processing and graphics?

    The baseline retina MBP has a slightly faster CPU and the more powerful discrete GPU (1 GB of dedicated video RAM vs. 512 MB video RAM). The integrated GPUs are the same.
    The baseline retina is more powerful (and has the SSD standard).
    rMBP:
    2.4GHz quad-core
    Intel Core i7 processor (Turbo Boost up to 3.4GHz) with 6MB shared L3 cache
    Intel HD Graphics 4000
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory and automatic graphics switching
    MBP:
    2.3GHz quad-core
    Intel Core i7 processor (Turbo Boost up to 3.3GHz) with 6MB L3 cache
    Intel HD Graphics 4000 (all 13- and 15-inch models)
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 512MB of GDDR5 memory and automatic graphics switching (2.3GHz 15-inch model). The optional 2.6GHz and 2.7GHz 15-inch models come with NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB GDDR5 memory.
    I thought you were comparing both 15'' models. Misread the OP.

  • Stuck on build 9841, for a while :/, only have 10 more days PLEASE HELP

    I got Windows 10 a while ago, but I got distracted and forgot about it for a while, and I have tried to update it from build 9841 it just wouldn't do it. I tried the fbl_release already and it didn't work. PLEASE HELP ONLY 10 MORE DAYS!!
    Thanks!
    ~Z

    What  fbl_release ?
    Have you tried downloading build 10041 ISO and use it to install ?
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/preview-iso-update-1503
    If you did download the 10041 ISO, what method did you use to install ?
    In case you don't know, your have 2 options :
    1. Burn the ISO to a bootable DVD or an USB with at least 4 GB capacity, and then use it to do a clean install.
    2. Just go to the folder where the downloaded ISO is kept > right click at it > click Mount > click Setup.exe.
    The system will start installing and you can keep your personal files and settings. You might have to reinstall the 3rd party programs.
    *****  After you have build 10041 installed, go to Settings > Update & Recovery > right side, click Advanced options > under Choose how preview builds are installed, change from Fast to Slow.
    Why change to Slow ring ?
    Microsoft is trying to fix the slow install of the current build 10049. They are unable to find a solution.
    Stay in Slow ring until MS can figure out how to fix that.
