Which of These Methods to Permanently Boot to 64-Bit

Hi. My iMac is the late i7 2009 model with 8GB. I'm guessing at my current 32-bit mode, once it needs more than 4GB, it won't be able to do so?
Is it adviseable to boot it to 64-bit nowadays?
For those who're booting in 64-bit for some time now, what're the advantages if any. Have you encountered problems and incompatibilities? 2011 iMacs and MBP seems to boot to 64-bit by default. My peripherals are just a wireless Intuos4, Apple wireless keyboard and wireless mouse and WD My Book Studio backup for Time Machine (My Book is good I think Time Capsule is still worth more paying for coz' of the ease of update integration). Not so industry standard third-party apps I use often, 2009 model of Corel Sketchpad Express and Autodesk Sketchbook Express.
If 64-bit mode is a recommended default, I found two methods. Which one should I use?
1)  <key>Kernel Flags</key>
    <string>arch=x86_64</string>
2) sudo systemsetup -setkernelbootarchitecture x86_64
Thank you in advance and Gbu.

The biggest problem with the Asus in question is that it will be really hard to upgrade it and I still did not find a model with SSD.
I found a comparision review here:  http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Asus-N550JV-CN201H-Notebook.98311. 0.html 
The Asus scores better in the cinebench sector (slightly with OpenGL and much with CPU)  and the Lenovo is better in the Pcmark7 and the 3dmark11. What are these tests? and which one is more important when it comes to video editing?
Thank you again for your time and efferts
P.S. I am studying the article about Hard disks, it is really interesting!!! thanks
Correct it is a 17-inch, and of course it weighs and costs slightly more than a 15.6-inch
It is a very simple task to upgrade the unit to an dual SSD system, and memory upgrade is very easy.  You undo one screw on the bottom and (below) this is what you see.  Two disk drive carriers with my SSD's installed and two 8 GB SODIMM add on RAM modules
Those benchmarks have very little to do with editing with Premiere, there is only one real comperhensive Premiere benchmark it is our PPBM.

  • Which of these methods is the most reliable, when ...

    1- "Can I Update?" at Nokia.com?
    2- Checking on "NSU"?
    3- Checking on "FOTA?"
    Let's say if we see "No Updates Available" at "Can I Update?" section of Nokia.com, should we trust it and skip searching for new firmware on other sources such as NSU or FOTA?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The "can I update" page where you enter your product code only applies to NSU updates.  It does not tell you if FOTA updates are available.
    The page sometimes can lag behind the actual firmware availability by a few hours or even a few days.
    So to be sure to get updates ASAP you have to check FOTA and the NSU as updates can be released on one but not the other.
    There are other unofficial tools that provide much more detailed info of NSU releases, but they cannot be discussed on this forum. 

  • Which of these two raid cards will work better?

    Which of these cards would be better suited for video editing:
    Areca ARC-1882i
    LSI 9265-8i
    Both are approximately the same price and just in my price range.  I will have four 1TB HDD's that I want to put in a raid array.  Also assume either one will work with my X79 motherboard.

    JobJoe,
    I can confirm that ShadowProtect Desktop Editon works great with Areca images for both backup and restore. I have even backed up a RAID OS/boot array from the Areca controller and restored it to a single drive connected to an Intel motherboard controller - how cool is that! It's insanely fast too; imaging my pretty fast RAID 0 boot/OS/programs array with 61GB only takes 2:36 minutes (23.3 GB/min, 279 MB/s, 2232 Mbits/sec). Note too that the affordable "Desktop edition" allows you to any drive on your LAN; I'm pretty sure that to do a restore with this version you can't restore from the LAN, however I've copied the restore image down to a USB hard drive (from the LAN) and then restored to a PC as "stand-alone".
    Regarding the HD Tune Results your results are for all practical purposes the same; you can ignore the maximum read speed with the cache on (that's from the controller) for the purposes of benchmarking your drive speed. Regarding the scale difference, I find the "autoscaling" only annoying, but I'm not aware of a way to override it.
    Finally, your WD 2TB's "tail off" (slow down) less than most rotating drives I've ever tested using HD Tune Pro; what is the exact model # and firmware version that you are using?
    Regards,
    Jim

    Hi,
    which RA Method you are using.
    If you are using method 01 then  in OKG8,Choose RA Cat RIML(Reserves for Imminent loss) or if you are using 03 method then use POCL .Assign the GL accounts againt these RA cat one B/S Account and one P&L (not a Cost element).

  • Which of these statements is faster?

    Hi all,
             Can anyone please tell me which of these two is faster in terms of Performance:
    Statement 1:
                          COMMIT AND WAIT.
    Statement 2:
      Call FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT' .
    Kindly reply immediately as this is bit urgent.
    Regards,
    Vijay

    After the system executes the COMMIT WORK statement, it sets the attributes of each persistent object in the ABAP program to initial. (That is, it calls the IF_OS_STATE~INVALIDATE method).
    Bapi_transaction_commit... should also not take much time... useing either will not make any significant diff. provided wait time is minimal..

  • Which of these takes less time?

    Which of these takes less time?
    INSERT INTO TABLE_1 AS SELECT * FROM TABLE_2;
    CREATE TABLE TABLE_1 SELECT * FROM TABLE_2;
    Thanks,
    Bhagat

    here's what the documentation says about a table created with the NOLOGGING clause:
    "Specify NOLOGGING if you do not want these operations to be logged.
    For a nonpartitioned object, the value specified for this clause is the actual physical attribute of the segment associated with the object."
    I read that to mean that segment information is not logged. I don't see where it says that inserts are not logged.
    And my testing on versions 9, 10.1 and 10.2 have shown that normal inserts to a table created with nologging mode will generate the same amount of redo as inserts to a table created with logging mode.
    Using APPEND will drastically reduce the amount of redo generated. Here's some of my findings showing the amount of redo (in bytes) generated for different methods:
    v10.2.0.3.0
    table structure:
    t( a number, b number)
    insert 50,000 rows per test
    created regular table, did NOT enable parallel dml
    insert append parallel :  141808 redo
    insert parallel        :  142032 redo
    insert append          :    1156 redo
    insert                 :  754120 redo
    regular table, alter session enable parallel dml:
    insert append parallel :  141180
    insert parallel        :  141876
    insert append          :   16156
    insert                 :  748552
    create table with nologging option, did NOT enable parallel dml:
    insert append          :   16000
    insert                 :  748616let the debate begin (again)

  • Looking for a pdf reader which meets these requirements

    I am looking for a pdf reader which meets these requirements:
    1- Open pdf starting from last page opened during last session
    2- Be able to scroll between pages vertically (not horizontally like many current ones do). Vertical scroll should be a continuous smooth scroll without doing a sudden full page pull in. Should behave as if pdf is one single very long page.
    3- Should be able to change width of page and lock it. Page should not move sideways. Page width should be remembered so when same pdf is opened, it opens in that width.
    4- A fast scroll feature. Useful for pdf's with hundreds of pages.
    5- Nice to have feature: when opening the pdf reader, it automatically opens the last pdf file on the last page read.
    I have tried all the free pdf readers in the AppStore and none met all these requirements except for two which had these issues:
    1- iRead limitation: When screen is touched for more than a second, the page is frozen (locked) and page can't be scrolled. Scrolling is done when doing quick swipes only
    2- FileApp limitation: Does not remember last page opened. Does not remember last width set. Fast scroll doesn't work properly when width is other than default.

    iAnnotate additional points
    iAnnotate works with DropBox to download and upload edited PDFs. It does all the other same things, email, USB, and iTunes etc. but it also can download PDFs from any web site.
    You can transfer hundreds if not thousands of files at one whack using the AIJ Utility on your desktop.
    If you transfer a large number of files you have to plan not to use iAnnotate a while as it has an index function that indexes all the text into a master 'dictionary' so it can do searches for data and find PDFs for you. This indexing takes hours if you transfer hundreds of moderate size PDFs at one time.
    The biggest PDF I have feed it was a Gimp manual at close to a thousand pages.
    Remember the scratch pad ram is only 256 MB in the current iPad. You can cash iAnnotate if you do something really dumb with such a large file. Other applications also grab and hold onto chunks of this ram in the iPad so it is best to force a memory reset before doing anything that is going to max out that ram.
    iAnnotate allows you to have more than one PDF open at a time and you can tab between all the open PDFs in a blink just as you would in a tabbed web browser.
    If you zoom a page larger than the width of the screen it slides around. Less than the width of the screen the page locks in the size while scrolling which is smooth between pages.
    iAnnotate is a very well made product for dealing with PDFs. Annotations display in Goodreader and in the Mac OS Preview.

  • Upgrading HD for Sample Streaming: Which of these is better?

    Hello everyone,
    I'm in the market for a larger internal SATA drive for sample streaming in Logic. I currently have a Seagate 320GB drive, but NO backup drive! So I'm thinking of using the 320GB as my backup and getting a larger, 500GB sample drive. Should I do this, or do larger drives have problems streaming samples? If yes, which of these would be better suited for sample streaming.

    Thank you very much for any help you can provide!

    Hi Jonathan,
    I recently boght a Seagate Barracuda to try it out, mainly for archiving but found it so fast that I got a second as a new audio drive. I now have two of these in my Mac Pro and it flies.
    One warning, however. In the UK, they're shipped with a jumper on, which restricts the speed to 1.5, not 3.0 Gbps. Just remove it and you'll get the machine flying at full speed. I don't know why Seagate do this but it's even documented on the drive case (check out the schematic above the jumpers bay). May be the same in the States but it's easy to check. It comes with only the one jumper (no master/slave as on old IDE drives) and remove it so there are none. Fixed.
    Buy with confidence.

  • Which of these stereos will work best w/ my iPhone 4 in my 2003 Chevy S10?

    Hey guys, I'm looking for a new stereo deck for my 2003 Chevy S10 that will work with my iPhone 4. Which of these do you think would do the trick the best? Thanks a lot!
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/part-finder/slide-show/2003/Chevrolet/S10/ref=aupf_dp_lf_lad_14?ie=UTF8&partsNode=10980621&carId=001

    You're probably not going to get a good answer in here as this is a forum specifically for the iPhone, and not car stereo head units. My suggestion is to read the user reviews on Amazon or Crutchfield.com and make sure the unit you're interested in works with iP4. It seems with each OS update, some car stereo units no longer work with the iP4.

  • Which of these Macs would be a better machine?

    I am at the crossroads of getting a new Mac and I have two choices. Pretending everything else between the macs is equal besides what I am about to describe, which of these would be better?
    Choice 1. 15" Macbook Pro w/ 2.16 Core 2 Duo processor and 2GB of memory
    or
    Choice 2. 13" current issue 2 GHz Core 2 Duo Macbook w/ 4 GB of memory
    Why would the one you pick be better over the other?
    I'm not to savy with computer hardware so any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!!

    You are correct that many MBP owners have no problems and that the MBP is a better machine. I too had no problems for the first year and then within two months I have been plagued with unproductive days dealing with a computer that doesn't work. The issue is that for those of us that have these problems there doesn't seem to be a fix even with Applecare. There seems to be a trend with keyboard issues and Apple has not figured it out and provided a reasonable fix. If I spend the money and get a new keyboard I may be looking at the same problem if the keyboards are flawed. If you make your living with your computer sending it in to Apple for a week or two to get a problem fixed is not a great solution. I just think that the chance of getting a lemon in the MBP line should be factored into the decision. Maybe a new MBP has these problems worked out but to buy an older used MBP from the same vintage as mine would be unwise in my opinion.
