Will new Intel "Conroe" chip in Mac towers support more than 4 gig of RAM?

Hi all,
long time no speak
Question:
Will the new Intel "Conroe" chip in the upcoming Mac towers support more than 4 gig of RAM?
I score Orchestral and since the new VSL library is completely 24bit i need to at least be able to adress 8 gig of RAM (16 gig would be better
To APPLE: Guys please be aware that us Pro Users were always eager to adress those 8 gig of RAM in our G5s, but were dissapointed in the fact that Logic FCP etc, were never turned into 64 bit apps.....so adressing 4 gig was it for us........
I guess another way to ask the same question would be whether "Conroe" is 64 bit, as that is what is required to adress more than 4 gig of RAM.....
thanx,
SvK

From what I've read Conroe will be 64-bit. A google search of "64-bit conroe" will give you a few sources and more info.

It doesn't need to be a 64-bit application. It just needs to have 64-bit memory addressing. Here is a good article if you're interested.

I don't have any experince with VSL, but I did have a quick experience with Kontakt 2 (I sold it). The Kontakt 2 forum has a post from the moderator that explains some issues around Kontakt's memory issues.

"furthermore, even Kontakt 2 and related products will not get 64 bit support any time soon since this would require a complete rewrite of the engine - this is the last thing we want at this point! products based on Kontakt 2 are Akoustik Piano and Bandstand."
The complete rewrite of the audio engine might be the general issue with utilizing more than 4Gb of memory. But, I am not sure...I think there is another issue with how the OS handles memory usage.

Will Snow Leopard (x64) allow my iMac to address more than 4 GB of RAM?

I just finished reading the specs on Snow Leopard and it's early release this Friday. Will the ability to address more than 4 GB of physical RAM work on all supported platforms, or just new systems? I'm maxed with 4 GB now, but would love to turn up the power!

Since your question is about a MacBook Pro, and this topic is in the Intel iMac category, you should go to the relevant forum, in this case probably this one
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1293
and click the +Post New Topic+ link to create your own topic where other MacBook Pro users are likely to see it.
My guess would be that it makes no difference, because these overall RAM limits are based on hardware limitations, not OS limitations. A Mac Pro was able to access 32GB of RAM back when Mac OS X was Tiger (two revisions ago), because its more advanced CPU and hardware architecture made it possible (not the OS).

HT6058 Will this new update slow down my iphone 4 even more than the last update?

Will this new update slow down my iphone 4 even more than the last update?

Thats a hard question to answer. The iPhone 4 has older technology than newer models which can cause the device to lag. Depending on what data and settings you have on the device, it could run slower. I would probably make sure to constantly close apps in multitasking and possible think about restoring the device as a new device. Make sure to backup your data prior to the restore

Will PC suite support more than one phone?

Nokia PC suite v6.41.6.
Windows XP Home v5.1 Service Pack 2
My wife has a Nokia 6681 and it runs fine on the above settings with PC Suite. We have the official Nokia USB cable.
My new 3220 isn't being recognised, however, and I was wondering if it is possible to support multiple phones from the PC Suite or whether I should just give up. I'm quite happy to upgrade to PC Suite v.7, but only if there's a good chance it'll work.
I've not been able to find a way anywhere of downloading a driver for a single phone or anything like that.
Thanks.

Nokia PC Suite supports more than 100 Nokia phones. I would recommend updating to version 6.70.22, PC Suite 6.41 is already quite old.
The main thing is that Nokia 6681 requires DKU-2(or CA-53) cable BUT Nokia 3220 requires DKU-5 (or CA-42) cable.
They both look the same and you can physically connect both to those phones, but they require different cable.
But PC Suite will work nicely with both once you have the right cable.
I strongly recommend CA-42, Nokia original, Nokia PC Suite includes cable drivers for that cable, so no separate drivers are needed.
There are numerous unofficial CA-42 cables out there, but some of them are just dead.Message Edited by manta on 12-Jan-2006

I have been taking photos for years and have thousands. When I use Apple TV screen saver, it seems only to grab a handfull and repeats them. Is there a configuration setting that will allow me to have the screen saver grab more than just a few? Thanks.

The device has an 8GB drive for caching streamed meida, a small portion of that is used to temporarily store photos for the screensaver. It may vary depending on resolution etc but it seems to be around 100.

Energy Saver, you can keep the computer awake while the screen saver shuts the monitor off but I'm not sure that would do it for you.

Will new Intel macs support OSX Tiger?

I work in a testing environment and I need to setup another Tiger computer. We have a few intel macs that have tiger. I need to get another machine and set it up with Tiger. If I purchased a new iMac or mac mini, is there a release of Tiger that will run on these PCs? Also, I have been trying to look for a retail release of Tiger that supports Intel processors. Was a product like this ever shipped?
Thanks.
Kelly

kelly, welcome to Apple Discussions.
Macs can only run an OS version that they shipped with or a higher version. So if you are looking at a new Mac that has Leopard installed, it can't run Tiger. You'll have to buy an older Mac.
You can look at this list of G4 & G5 Mac's specs to find which newest-older model will run on Tiger. http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/index.html

When will new Intel Graphics Driver Graphics be released for X61

Intel has released a new driver version 6.14.10.5002 for gm965 - any word when lenovo will release their version? Can Intel's driver be used directly?

intel's own driver can be used but the on-screen display for brightness levels will break. there's also no guarantee its reliablity as it hasn't been officially tested on a lenovo system.

Mac is overheating(more than 90 degrees celcius)

Hi everyone, just as the title explains my macbook pro is overheating much to easily nowadays. Everytime i run anything the temperature ranges from 78-90 degrees celcius. Is this normal and is there a way to reduce the temperature
(Further Info:Macbook pro 10.6.7,2.3 GHz Intel Core i5 Processor, 4GB 1333 Mhz DDR3 memory)
(I have smc fan control and istat installed too)

Good, just wanted to make sure fans were working as they should.
My mac is 10.6.8 and i just updated today (Friday October 28th,2011)
Any change in behavior?
The things that are currently using the most cpu is only firefox which is at 3-7%. Usually when i run games(like Minecraft or Portal 2) or learning applications it heats up like the core of the Earth.
Hmmm, shouldn't be causing excessive heat.
I'm not that good with handdling Macbook Pro's so how do i know how much free space i have on HD?
Click on HD icon, hold down command key and press i (=Get Info).
(Oh one more thing out of the topic, is the Apple Homepage getting all the times of when we post comments wrong?I posted my first comment around noon today and it saids i posted it in some completely different time :3)
Since the switch from Apple Discussions to ASC, strange things happen on a regular basis. I guess I just take it as it is what it is.

Mac book pro does not support more than 1 firewire

I had trouble saving my projects to external hard drive. I met with a Pro at the apple store. Claim that while using a firewire to import a project...brand new Mac Book pro cannot support 2 firewires at a time. An error comes up. So I simply used a USB to my external hard drive. was told this is not recommended but what is alternative?...Is it true I cannot use 2 firewires at once?

Hello Mary,
I am reading between the lines, but it sounds like you want to connect a camcorder and an external firewire hard drive to your MacBook Pro at the same time ... and capture your video in FCE using the external hard drive as your capture scratch disk. Is this correct?
This can be done, and is done by many users, however SOME camcorders and SOME external firewire hard drives do not work very well together.
What make/model camcorder do you have, what make/model external hard drive(s) do you have?
