Will Illustrator run on 1.8GHz quad core processor?

I am reading that Illustrator CS4 requires a 2.0GHz processor to run. I am assuming that is for a single core processor. I am considering buying a new computer running Vista 64 bit with a1.8GHz quad core processor and 4GB of RAM. Would Illustrator CS4 run ok on such a system?
Thanks,
Bob

I think 1400 by 900 is good since you can run many of the motion graphic programs on such a monitor.
1920 x 1200 is very good but now things have gotten to the point that they have higher resolution available.
So I recommend the highest you need. The reason i say this is that once applications are made multi core worthy and go 64 bit it requires more resources but it will perform better and what I mean by better is not necessarily speed on any one task but the it will offer functions that are not possible on the current cpus with the current application.
It just seems to me you need a little more then what you are getting, a little more so that in the very near future you will not have to upgrade again causing you to end up paying even more that you thought you were saving.
If you understand my logic.
Though the answer to your original question is it can probably run, how well you would probably have to tell us after you get it.

2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel core i7 WILL IT WORK WITH FCP?

I am planning on purchasing the new IMAC 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel core i7 27" screen for work with FCP. The requirements to install FCP state in relevent part:
ATI or NVIDIA graphics processor (integrated Intel Graphics processors not supported).
Does this mean that the 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel core i7 27" screen will NOT OPERATE FCP. I know that the Quad-Core Intel i7 is an upgrade for the system should I stay with the basic NVIDIA graphics processor?

I understand there is a difference between the "graphics cards" and the Processor and Memory?
Graphics Cards:
27-inch model with dual-core processor, one of the following:
ATI Radeon HD 4670 graphics processor with 256MB of GDDR3 memory
ATI Radeon HD 4850 graphics processor with 512MB of GDDR3 memory
27-inch model with quad-core processor:
ATI Radeon HD 4850 graphics processor with 512MB of GDDR3 memory
I am going to purchase the quad-core processor which will come with the ATI Radeon HD 4850 processor with 512MB of GDDR3 memory
The Processor and memory according to Apple Specs are as follows:
27-inch models only, one of the following:
2.66GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 processor with 8MB shared L3 cache; Turbo Boost dynamic performance up to 3.2GHz
2.8GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor with 8MB shared L3 cache; Turbo Boost dynamic performance up to 3.46GHz; Hyper-Threading for up to eight virtual cores
I would like to purchase the 2.8GHz quad-core Intel core i7 processor
This is where my concern is when FCP says (integrated Intel graphics processors not supported)!

2008 8-core 2.8ghz vs 2010 2.8ghz Quad Core?

Hey all.
I am leaning toward between these two machine.
2008 8-core 2.8ghz
vs
2010 2.8ghz Quad Core
I can pick up a 2008 2.8 octo core from a friend for about half the price of the refurbished 2010 from Apple store.
I will mainly use this machine for illustrator, dreamweaver and photoshop work.
I am a graphic design / web designer.
I am pretty sure none of my software can really benefit from all 8 cores.
So will I be better off with a quad core 2010?
Can the 2010 justify twice as much in price difference?
Note: The 2008 has 16gb ram and HD5770, and in really good condition. But the 2010 has apple care and can be easily upgrade to 16gb ram for cheap.
Hopefully you guys can give me some advice
Thank you very much

Skip the 2008. Too high cost for FBDIMMs, too many problems surfacing. 4 yrs old.
the 2010 ref'd is $1819 and lets you throw in $600 W3680 and 4x8GB and better graphics and also PCIe controllers work better as well as 64-bit mode. The 2008 was the first to get UEFI / EFI64 and you could say it needed and got a lot of improvements over the next 2-3 yrs.
If you did want more RAM the cost of 2x4GB FBDIMMs can be $300.

Apple Mac Pro 2008 dual 2.8ghz quad core

Hey guys,
Ive got a real brain teaser. I have a apple mac pro 2008 dual 2.8ghz quad core that wont boot.
The leds on the memory test good its all tested in another mac and working well.
The 9 leds are reading as follows 2nd led lit yellow. Led 9,8,7 Green- which from my research is good.
Ive also reset the cmos battery and vram, nothing.
Pulled the memory and video card and re-seated them also nothing.
The last thing i tryed was shut the computer down sit for 30 seconds then held alt and got the install mac os screen not a hard drive option.
Which leads me to think its not seeing the hard drive?
Any suggestions?

Starts up with fans
Makes the apple chime
The chime is generated in software when the first portion of the power-on self test has passed.Your Mac is working and has enough working RAM memory to start up.
You still may have problems with drives, the software on those drives, or your graphics card.
apple logo comes up
The dark gray Apple is loaded by the ROM boot loader in the first blob of software (before the file system is initialized). Its presence indicates your Mac can get some stuff off a Hard Drive, and seeing it indicates your graphic card can display something in a primitive way.
with spinning gear and just sits there for hours
It is stuck booting up something. Verbose Mode (hold Command-V at startup) will show you the parade of messages. The last five will tell you what happened.

Does Firefox 13 run in a multi-threaded mode and can it utilize quad-core processors?

When purchasing a new PC, one chooses between dual-core vs. quad-core processors and some people claim that Firefox run in a mulch-threaded mode and treats each tab as a separate process and that it can fully utilize the advantage of a quad-core processor. Is that true?

Firefox doesn't treat each tab as a separate process. While this may be a feature sometime in the future, I don't know of any plans to introduce it anytime soon. Obviously, buying a quad core processor is going to be significantly faster than a dual-core, and your browser is usually less resource intensive than many other programs. I wouldn't use it as your purchasing decision. Firefox will run equally well on a dual-core or a quad-core, but windows and other programs will run better with 4 cores.

Quad-core Processor 2.5GHz or 2.8GHz

I'm about a week away from buying my first MacBook Pro, in fact first ever Mac, question I have if I may, is there much of a difference between the 2.5GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7 Turbo Boot up to 3.7GHz and the 2.8GHz Quad-core Intel i7 Turbo Boost up to 4.0GHz apart from the price.

If you will be using resource intensive applications in a vocational context frequently, the faster CPU will probably pay for it self.
If you are an avocational user, for the overwhelming majority of usage, there will little of any difference in performance when using most applications. It then becomes more of a question of bragging rights.
To put it another way, if you live in the country, a Ferrari makes sense but not so in the center of Manhattan.
Ciao.

I am running Photoshop CC 2014 on Windows 8.1 with an AMD quad core processor and AMD E1-2100 APU with AMD Radeon HD 8210 Graphics Card. I have installed the latest driver version 13.152.0.0. When I activate puppet warp, the mesh appears over the image and I can place the first pin. However, when I go to add the second pin, Photoshop crashes. I have tried with on a new, blank file, with just a few lines on it, but, as soon as I place the first pin, the image disappears, and then, as soon as I click anywhere else in the image, Photoshop crashes. I have followed all the online advice about settings under the Preferences/Performance interface, but nothing fixes the problem. Can anyone please help?

BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand, such as your platform (Mac or Win), exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop and of Bridge, machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, video card specs, what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far, what error message(s) you receive, if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc., someone may be able to help you.

You don't see drives when using a hardware RAID only the volumes.
WD Green are not suitable for hardware RAID (or software RAID for that matter).
USB2 and TimeMachine are a disaster waiting to happen. I've used SATA (internal) and eSATA (using SATA PCIe cards) trouble-free.
I can't say I begin to understand your use or "choosing the install drive for the backup"
Install what?
You don't load TimeMachine. Maybe seems minor but that is not how to describe the behavior of software.

Using Quad core processor for PE7

If I run PE7 on a quad core 2.5GHz processor, will it perform better than on a dual core 3GHz (planning to use 4GB RAM in both cases)?
I am planning on a pc upgrade for processing AVCHD movies taken on a Sony HDRSR11e.

Generally, I don't recommend laptops for video editing. They're built for portability, not power. Besides, this program needs A LOT of screen space, and most laptops can't give you the real estate of a 22" desktop monitor.
That said, these are very powerful machines, and the monitors can be set to a pretty high resolution -- so the interface should fit, although the type might be pretty tiny.
I do highly recommend, though, that if you go this route you select the one with the 32-bit operating system. Most of the software world isn't quite ready for 64-bit Vista yet.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You have a Late 2008 MacBook Pro, so you can upgrade the RAM (up to 8 GB of RAM) and you can upgrade Mac OS X to OS X Mountain Lion.
If you want more memory, you can buy it at OWC or Crucial > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/DDR3 Crucial sells cheaper memory and it's also supported.
Respecting to OS X, you can use OS X Mountain Lion. If you want to upgrade, open the App Store and purchase OS X Mountain Lion. While it's being downloaded, make a backup of your files with Time Machine and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com
When the download finishes, the Mountain Lion installer will appear, so follow the steps.
OS X Mavericks will be released in fall and will include new features > http://www.apple.com/osx/preview

The new 3.0 Ghz Phenom II X4 940 quad core processor and the K9a2 Platinum

Okay! So I have been looking at this processor for a bit, AMD Phenom II X4 940 Black Edition Quad Core Processor HDZ940XCGIBOX - 3.00GHz, 6MB Cache, 1800MHz (3600 MT/s) FSB, Deneb, Quad-Core, Retail, Socket AM2+, Unlocked Multiplier, Processor with Fan Link=http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4330959
I have the K9A2 Platinum Motherboard. I have updated the Bios to version 1.6. Now I called MSI and Tiger direct and none of them know if this processor will work with my board. Now I did post a previous thread and every one said I should have come here sooner for answers and that is what I am doing. I looked at Cyberpower PC where they are building this spec with the 3.0 ghz Processor and the K9A2. Now I would like to assume that it will work but with the manufacturer and tiger direct not giving the most accurate information I am worried.
I think it will work just fine but I am double checking before I spend the money.
So guys and gals will my motherboard support this new chip? Does any one have the processor running on the MSI K9A2 Platinum? Bios version 1.6?
Current System Specs
Vista 64 Bit.
AMD Phenom 9600 2.3Ghz quad core. Liquid cooled
MSI K9A2 Platinum MB Bios Version 1.6

600 watt power supply
1x 150gb raptor drive 10,000rpm.

This might help you find the proper bios a bit easier. http://www.dvhardware.net/article31234.html

I have a HP Pavilion p6710f with an AMD Athlon Quad-Core processor takes 10 to 12 minutes to boot

I have a refurbished HP Pavilion p6710f desktop, with an AMD Quad-Core processor. About 4 weeks aog I reformated the HD and reinstalled Windows 7 Prof and the rest o my software and it ran fine for about 2 weeks then it started taking 5 to 10 minutes to boot up in morning or to restart. I had downloaded a couple of things and I uninstalled them and it did better, but gradually over the last week it has started taking 10 to 15 minutes to boot up or restart. With either it takes a few seconds to get the HP stuff in the middle of the monitor, then in a few seconds it loads the choices (Function keys for setup, recover, etc.) then it takes 4 to five minutes to show "windows loading" the 3 to 4 minutes to show the 4-colored windows logo and then up to 5 minutes to load my icons and be ready to run--once all this is done everything runs fine until I need to restart, and then it is 10 to 15 minutes again to get up and running.
When I redid everything about 4 weeks ago I made an image on an external 1 Tb HD that is always connected thru a UBB Port and this morning I recovered and It reinstalled it, but it did not help.
Don't think it is the BIOS battery as it doesn't lose time.
Hope someone can help me

Is Quad-Core processors really worth it ?

I'm debating between the 13 inch MacBook Pro that has the dual core while the 15 inch MacBook Pro has a quad core, but I'm using this purely for school and video chat.
Do I really need a quad core for these things at the moment ?

Quad cores are the new benchline, even the new iPad has a quad core processor.
If you can take care of your machine and make it last for 4 years, want to play 3D games, then the 15"
If your not going ot play 3D games and will replace the machine in 2 years, light uses, then the 13"
If your rough on computers then buy a $400 Windows 7 PC instead

Newly bought Xperia C3, responding slowly for a quad core processor phone.

My Xperia C3 is just a week old sincebI bought it and my very 1st Sony phone. Doing simple task is so annoying because of phones slow response to command wether doing browsing to text messaging, i would have to wait for the right screen to come up, or even from stadby mode to making a call, or txt, it responds so slow.. Totally different from other brand of quad core processor I've tried. My phone memory or sd card memory is is not even 1/4 full. Why is this behaving like this?
Could someone Sony-brilliant user or support personnel help me on this please. Kindly help me make my Sony experience a better one.

My Samsung Galaxy S1, which is still fully functional up to now, does not even have a quad core processor, but its not slow like this C3. Same with Lumia 520 & 630.. So I don't know why would a new phone behave like this... Really annoying
