Which one do you use?

I recently started asking myself which stability and stress program to use.
Theyre many, but i usually chose between those 3:
1.Stress prime 2004 by Johnny Lee
2.Super Pi by the japanese record breaking guys
3.the well known prime95 (which i dont like to use to test my machines).
prime 95 lacks information and details IMO but is reliable(at least thats what people say), and many people dont know how to use it at first sight(including me), asking themself what is s11t this for?
super pi does not take much time to complete the 32million task, so im not sure about its reliability.
and finally the one that i think is the best is the stress prime 2004 which i like the most, and the funcitons are there and it shows everything in details. the source is taken from prime95 but redone to give better results and details.
so c'mon you o/cers, which one do you prefer ? maybe you can suggest another good one from the rest which you find interesting and reliable!!
and pls no everest or sandra stress test suggestions.
good day

I use the following: http://www.7byte.com/index.php?page=hotcpu
Hot CPU pro is available in an evaluation version that doesn't perform all the tests but still has an accurate diagnostic and burn in mode.
I licensed for the full features and find it works fantastic. Pressing the diagnostic performs tests of the chipset, cpu, memory, hard drive and more for 6 hours and then tells me the result. Or I can run Burn in and test it much more extensively.
LOL .. we had quite a discussion a few years back about this .
Here's a post thats quite amusing : https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=63480.0
I have experienced full so called "prime stable" test over 8 hours just having HotCpuTest fail as it just doesn't do prime numbers calculations or Pi calculations but some more and it's one of the best progs to get you down to earth when you thought your system was overclocked stable.
In addition back then there was some faults in prime95 build x.xx (don't remember) with certain setup with A64 page file size and amount of memory.
Was like talkin' to certain stoneheads back then .
Read the thread through and see why not only trust one cpu calculation/benchmark prog :D

VirtualBox vs VMware.. which one do you use?

Which one do you all use here?
Which one do you think is better?
Before, when I was using Ubuntu, I always used VirtualBox, I guess I liked it.... But now thinking which one to pick.
I heard in VMware you can run some games (which I can probably run in Wine, but still).

I use VMware Workstation 7.
While I love Free Software, the Free version of VirtualBox lacks USB support, which is a big loss for me.
So, it's between two pieces of proprietary software, despite one being $0.
Workstation unofficially supports OS X guests (questionable legally, use Google), seems to have better guest desktop speed, and has better SMP and video acceleration for me.
Also, VirtualBox has been more buggy in my experience, especially with tiling WMs.
The one thing VirtualBox can do that VMware can't, though, is perform low-level operations on crApple devices: http://ranguvar.wordpress.com/2009/11/2 … irtualbox/
So, I keep it around to help out my friends who buy into those sorts of things.
QEMU is nice and KISS, good for testing alternative OSes like Plan 9 and other *nixes, just suffers from horrendous disk speed.

Touppercase vs tolowercase (which one do you use?)

I was curious to know which one was more popular. I did some searching and found:
tolowercase onesearch: 1,118 google: 157,000
touppercase onesearch: 1,135 google: 45,700
So, on these forums it seems that they are roughly equally used. But out in the real world (Google) tolowercase (case-insenstive) is 3 times more popular.
My guess is that upper-case is the Internet way of yelling, so people would reduce the risk of offending someone by using lower-case. Any other ideas?

the conversion to upper case for some characters like the german sz-ligature (ß) is slightly more complicated than you'd think, so to make unsigned comparisons you should rather convert to lower case.
But searching for something on google and claiming one thing is more "popular" than another basing solely on the results seems very strange to me...

Which one do you use? eclipse, vaj, jbuilder.....

Hi, everyone
I just want to have a general idea which IDE is preferred by
most of us.
Actually, I use Context.

Search the forums, asked so ofton it almost not fun to say
EMACS, VI SUCKS!
any more.

Which ICONDOM did you use?

Hi,
I am curious to see which version of Icondom people use the most. I bought my Icondom on e-bay and it cames with the STATIC and also the LOW-TACK option, I used the low-tack on mine, which one did you use,
thanks
mike

I've been planning on getting an iCondom too & would love to hear from those that have used it/them.
THX!

Two graphics card on macbook pro which one do I use?

I have two graphics cards on my macbook pro. ADM random 6490m (256mb vram) and Intel HD graphics 3000 (512mb vram). My question is which one should I use? I don't do any hardcore gaming or photoshop. I guess that I am just looking for the best display and least buffering if that even has anything to do with the graphics card. I just want to get the most out of my macbook. I appreciate any advice. Thank you.

Your MBP more or less chooses which graphics card to use automatically. In System Preferences>Energy Saver, check Automatic graphics switching. When it's checked on, it will use the higher power and higher quality dedicated AMD 6490 when you're plugged into the wall, and uses the Intel 3000HD when on battery.
I have downloaded gfxCardStatus to give me more control over which graphics card to use. There are times I might want the AMD while on battery, even though it runs hotter and uses more battery life.
Either card will do well with HD movies, though I notice a lot more artifacts with the Intel 3000 when the movie has a lot of action or explosions or sounds. If you want to do hardcore gaming, you need the AMD of course. Photoshop is more dependent on the central processor rather than the graphics card, so I'm not sure you'd have much issue using either one.

Hard drive duke out...which one would you put your life on the line for?

As far as SATA drives go only...
Seagate 320 gig Barracuda (ST3320820AS) vs. Samsung 320 gig HD320KJ vs. factory WD/Apple 250 gig drive. All about the same age (3/07) except for the Apple 250 which is about 8/06.
Which one would you choose for your main drive?
Thanks a bunch!

Everybodys milage seems to vary with Hard drives as does the current quality of certain manufactures. Personally I've been burned numerous times on Seagate drives but that could simply be my luck of the draw. What is really more important is how you use specific drives vs their reliability.
I have a RAID 5 Linux server in my rack for my major archiving. That server has been built with Raptor OS drives (Small ones, 36Gb) as all it has is FC5. The RAID array is built from much cheaper (per Gb) 500Gb WD Caviar drives. In my configuration this comes to about 1.25Tb of RAID 5 storage. I can sustain a full drive failure without losing my data. I can also lose my OS drive, buy an new one, Install Fedora 5 again, and my RAID will still be there. (I've backed up the critical files necessary to support this and I've tested it. It works.)
My MacPro is just about to be rebuilt. I got a Hitachi Ultrastar from Newegg.com
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822145164
I have 4x500Gb WD drives in my Pro configured to be a RAID 1 from 2 1Tb logical volumes. I plan on using this for quick local archive of projects as yanking a 50Gb project from there is still much faster than off my RAID 5 plus my RAID 5 is quickly getting filled from my photography work so I'm using the RAID 1 for my video work. In addition to that, I have a Firewire 800 1TB external drive to run on TimeMachine and back up all my working files on my new OS drive. If I sound paranoid. I am. Just remember no matter WHO's drive you buy, it is, in the end, not a question of IF it might fail, but WHEN. You should plan your work environment expecting your drives will fail and then make sure you have enough backup that you can recover from that. One could argue there may be holes even in my backup plan. There are, but in the end, I can recover everything, baring my home burning down. (and actually I'm covered for that, all be it the latency in the backup is probably on a 2 week cycle).

I'm debating between a Macbook Air or a Macbook Pro which one would you suggest?

I'm debating between a Macbook Air (MC965LL/A) or a Macbook Pro (MD313LL/A) which one would you suggest?
I will be using this for college and taking it to class with me. My biggest fear is that I may be too hard on the Air and damage it, but I like that it is lighter and looks cooler. But which one do you believe is more logical and provides the best computer quality overall?

This is an objective comparison,
Meanwhile, we start from the price of their basic models, considering of course that could get discounts as a student in the Education Store. Required about 100 € more to buy an Air with the same screen size of this Pro and already, in some cases, may be enough to make your own choice.
Assuming a score to score, we could say: Pro 1 - 0 Air
Until recently, the beloved laptop for school purposes was the white MacBook.Orphaned "bianchino", now out of the list for some time now Apple, the Mac that is most on the economic front is approaching the Air 11 "(900 € on the edu store). Air 13 "display offers a native that could be called HiRes, identical resolution to that of Pro 15" base:
Air 11 "(16:9) 1366 x 768 = 1,049,088 pixels
Pro 13 "(16:10 format) 1280 x 800 = 1,024,000 pixels
Air 13 "(16:10 format) 1440 x 900 = 1,296,000 pixels
The comparison on the screens is not to be taken seriously. After all, is what we will see during every second of computer work.
And so the challenge back in a tie: Pro 1 - Air 1
For size and weight comparison is merciless. The Pro is a portable slim, well built and, after all, not too heavy. However, this aspect of the Air is unsurpassed. He created a new category of laptops is so small wonder. The weight is also almost halved with 1.3 kg against 2Kg. For those who are always on the go is a godsend for the university and also the difference in the shoulder is remarkable.
We update our score: Pro 1 - Air 2
The battery is offered in both cases with a duration of 7 hours. 2-Air Pro 3. Another aspect that is rather in favor of a tie on the graphics: Both models use the Intel HD Graphics 3000 with 384MB of DDR3 SDRAM condivisa.Pro 3 - Air 4.
In academia, it may not feel quite the need for a Firewire port, but the fact remains that the Air does not have it.
I guess that's the case to score another point: Pro 4 - 5 Air
I scored a little more than necessary to have a complete line of Air, but for the purposes of this comparison we are interested in the value obtained from the Pro 13 'Air base and 13 "base. Both processors are dual core and, as you can see, the little guy gets along very well though with a slower clock. There is also a crucial aspect to consider: these data refer to the computing power but do not take into account the incredible speed-bump-up by SSD. Translated into monetary terms means that if the Pro 13 "is marginally faster when the CPU is under stress (such as video encoding) Air 13" is significantly more responsive in every area. By now you will present the advantages of SSD, as we talk about it constantly, and be assured that we are talking about really obvious differences in the everyday. The advantages obtained clearly outweigh the disadvantage resulting from a delay of a few seconds more in exporting an iMovie or a few seconds to compress a full-bodied zip file (which then increased the write speed scale in part). To assign a score in this area I find then a little 'in difficulty. From the viewpoint of the CPU Pro 13 "is slightly faster but we are sure you can assign an advantage when then every single operation, to start since, requires up to 8 times (the value is clearly approximate) of the time ' Air 11 "? I have no doubt to say that overall performance on the front of the Pro 13 "basis, as configured, is beaten hands down Air 13" base.
I say then: Pro 4 - Air 6 (but wait ... is not over)
Do you know where the above discussion decade? The MacBook Pro is much more expandable: add just € 77 and takes a 60GB OCZ Agility SATA3 that mounts in an instant. At that point, the bill draws on the opposite reactivity with SSD and the difference of the processor, though not so obvious, back to bite. It is also possible to realize different combinations. We have spoken of a disk of only 60GB in effect, but in the Pro can also be used as an adapter to enter the optibay the HDD of 320GB in place of the original SuperDrive. In this way we obtain the speed of the solid disc for the operating system and applications and the increased capacity of a traditional hard drive for archiving. Also, the RAM, which base is 4GB on both, on the Pro can be easily increased to 8GB. To want to do things right we should say that the added cost rises well and lose the initial assumption for which we have assigned a point to Pro for the greater economy.Furthermore, the comparison is based, only the basic models, however, the counter remains a valuable expandability, both now and in the future: if after some time you should decide to improve the performance of your Mac, is with the Aircan only change SSD (mSATA but those are expensive), while the Pro will have more flexibility.
u point for the Pro: Pro 5 - 6 Air
With the 2011 version of the MacBook Air has resumed the backlit keyboard, but still (and will) not have an Ethernet port, Superdrive and the infrared receiver. The absence of the reader / writer is a point against him, this is indisputable
equal footing Pro 6 - Air 6. As Apple moves fast towards a future where this will no longer be necessary (see installation and operating system software via the web) can still be useful today. It must be said that with less than 30 € you take an external drive efficiently (review) but this still requires to carry around another "element". On a personal level each of us will be evaluated differently this absence, there are those who do not tolerate it and who has already got used to (in extreme cases supported by the Remote Disk feature) but it is still a lack of perspective in a single complete computer , at least at present.
For this reason we say: Pro 7 - 6 Air
pull the money (or better scores ) won the pro of a single point.
i hope it can help you ti choose

Which router do you use for AppleTV?

So I got to thinking the other day that maybe there are just certain routers that no matter what will not work with AppleTV.
The only one that I have gotten to work EVERY time and consistently is the Airport Extreme Base Station.
My gf had a belkin (I don't remember the model #) that no matter what, I could not get it to remain consistent i.e. had to restart almost every day, randomly showed port 3689 error, etc
I tried the normal stuff, enabling uPNP, port forwarding, etc..nothing helped.
With the AEBS (which I already had and made her get) everything was fine and dandy.
So my questions to you are:
1) If not the AEBS, which router do you use?
2) If not the AEBS, which settings did you have to set?
3) If not the AEBS, what is the model / firmware version of your router?
I noticed many people have problems that are the same things on this board over and over. And I've also noticed that it's usually the router and/or the settings that are causing the issues/inconsistencies.
This should be an interesting thread and should help steer people in the right direction.

Airport Extreme doesnt have enuf port forwards for most online games & so I avoided that one.
There is no limit (short of maxing out system capacity). It may not have the presets you want, but you can configure port forwarding manually.
indeed, i can confirm this.
i have many ports forwarded on my AEBS and it is very easy to configure to do so.

Which software do you use on the linux or unix platform

I am learning oracle, so I am wondering, in the real world, which software do you use to administrate oracle in the company, on the linux or unix platform? sqlplus?
certainly, I think you can also open the OEM GUI in linux or unix

If you are learning, surely enough , learning any o/s other than windows will help. About the industry, there is not just one player that rules in the o/s market. It depends on a lot of factors , cost being the most dominating one. Linux, being a little less costlier, is surely a good choice for many but so is HP UX or AIX. Without bothering about what is more popular, learn one which you can get your hands on in your learning environment more easily. For example, it would be tough to have a AIX based machine in your home and a linux based would be lot easier. So learn one, ,learn it good. When you go to a different shop, use your previous knowledge and learn the know-hows of that o/s as well.

2 Graphic cards installed, which one I am using?

Hi, I have a macbook pro with 2 graphic cards, an Intel HD graphics 3000 and a AMD Radeon HD 6750, I want to know which one am I using by default, and how can I get the best performance for use in graphics software, like photoshop cs5. Thanks

Your system will automatically switch between the integrated GPU (HD 3000) or the AMD video card (more powerful) depending on the application you are using. There is an excellent application (free) called gfxCardStatus. This will put a little icon in your menubar showing you which card is in use. It will also allow you to lock in either if you choose to do so:

Which one do you prefer for 2.1 Stereo Speak

I am planning to buy a Creative Sound card for my Streo 2. Speakers but don't know which of Creative EXTERNAL solution will sound better and blast my bass when i connect it to my notebook to streo speaker.Which one do you prefer ? Thanks.

If you have a spare PCMCIA slot, check out the Audigy 2 ZS Notebook. External solutions, there is the SBLi've 24-bit External.
You might want to check out the Xmod though, it is a new product and seems to fit the bill if you're trying to improve the audio quality from your laptop.
