X 86 hardware components - what is the optimal choice ?

hello
If I have to assemble a desktop with the purpose of installing solaris 10, what is the hardware that I need to buy ? The hardware list is a little difficult to understand because it does not specify a processor.
i want to use AMD / Intel processor, preferably dual core, what model numbers are most suitable for solaris 10 trouble free installation ?
What are the motherboards that support that processor ?
Do I have to be choosy about the harddrive ?
Does Solaris 10 require a specific type of RAM ?
Does it require a specific type of DVD+ R/W drive ?
It is not meant to be a mutliple o/s system. It is meant to be a solaris 10 only desktop, with minimal applications such as brwosing, email and star office...
Can the forum guide me on this ?

I did, I think:
optimal in terms of 'fit' for a fullHD project is 1920x1080
optimal in terms of 'fit' for a 720p project is 1280x720
optimal in terms of 'fit' for a SDef project (final delivery DVD) is 720x480
optimal for a project with maximum wide Ken Burns panning is 10.000x6.000 (=KB allows a max factor of 5x)
optimal in terms of compression is as little compression on import as possible - a .raw photo file converted to .tiff or .png with some hilarious MBs of data
optimal in terms of handy is a 2k res photo as jpg with 2-5Mbs (just a rule of thumb)
optimal in terms of processing in iMovie is 8bit compression, optimal in terms of quality is 10-12bit compression (no idea wether iM supports that)...
=> there is no SINGLE answer because there are several 'optimums' ....
the resolution should be close to your videos res.
if you add Ken Burns, multiply
doesn't care for dpi - that is for print only
avoid CMYK codecs, video is RGB only
iMovie supports alpha only in png
avoid too much compression BEFORE import - lots of MB is good. Lots of jpg to jpg to jpg generations is not good.
and so on, and so on........

What are the optimal hardware specification requirements for Adobe Photoshop CS6?

Greetings to the staff and users of this forum,
As the title clearly stipulates, the question is "What are the optimal hardware specification requirements for Adobe Photoshop CS6?".
Unfortunately, I am not satisfied with the specs specified on the website, as I believe they are far lesser than the specs needed to run the program at its full potential. This belief comes from my experience with the product Adobe Photoshop CS2 that I currently run on my computer. In effect, Ps CS2 cannot fully run without inducing time lags on my computer (i.e. when using 500 pix diameter smudge tool/ using liquify gallery), even though my specs are already higher than those specified for CS6 (mine are: Intel Core 2 Duo 6300 1.86 GHz, 3 GB RAM). I can assure you that I get those time lags even when almost in safe mode (only system main processes running) and that my computer is clean from any process/virus that could lower its performances.
I've been through two chat rooms and four telephone operators to always get the same answer: the specs on the website.
If any user here could provide me with proper higher specs, I would really be grateful.
Thanks,
phdwengr

This document looks at different workflows and gives recommendations. It should give you an idea of what's needed.

Adobe SendNow - What is the optimal size for custom logos?

I just tried to upload a custom logo (800x200) and it seemed to be stuck up in the top left corner, with a large amount of blank white screen.
What is the optimal size for this please, and how do I centre a smaller logo?
It is of course entirely possible I will need to make one in PS - not a problem - but the right sizes would be helpful info please.
Many Thanks

That is what I read too - but when I uploaded one it got tucked up in the top left corner of the "custom" setup thumbnail.
Perhaps it is just a glitch in that dialogue, but it certainly looked as if there was a raft of space to the right & underneath.
Still, probably Pilot Error so I will recheck - thank you Dave.

What is the optimal cel size?

I'm working with a program called Natural Scene Designer Pro v5.0 which allows the user to create a series of still rendered ray tracings into an animated AVI. I would like to edit these AVI clips in Premiere Elements 10, but before going terribly far into this project, I was curious about a couple of things.
What is the optimal cel size that I should instruct NSD to produce that will most satisfy Premiere Elements?
What are the optimal Project Settings in PE10 that should be used in editing this type of "footage" ?
Initial tests have been done at 320:240 @ 30fps (which does not appear to be supported in PE10 amongst its presets), but eventually, I'd like to make things as large as is practical and for the broadest audience.
It has been several years since I played around with things like this... which then were on another Windows machine and Premiere Elements 2. I need to get reacquainted with Premiere Elements and version 10 looks a little more mature and myself, more gray
Thank you very much for any replies.
Kind regards,
Kelly

Kelly,
Thank you for that clarification. I had mis-read, above, and thought that it WAS an MS CODEC pack.
The problem with too many CODEC packs is that they often install "stuff," besides the CODEC's, and some of that stuff is not good for a Video editing computer. Also, many (most?) of the CODEC's installed are hacked, or reverse-engineered versions, and will often overwrite good, commercial CODEC's, that are installed. This is why Adobe hides its Adobe MainConcept CODEC's - so that other programs cannot overwrite them. However, their "priority" is still vulnerable, and many CODEC packs will change that priority in the Registry, so that its CODEC's are chosen first, by the system.
I am a big fan of the Lagarith Lossless CODEC, when using intermediate files. The same for another one, UT Lossless. They DO compress, but at a lossless level, i.e. the quality stays the same. Two others that I like are both Apple QuickTime CODEC's, Animation and Photo-PNG, which are also lossless. However, on my PC, either the Lagarith, or the UT are my first choices. Both of those are wrapped in the AVI format, where the two QT CODEC's are wrapped in the MOV format. [I buy 3D work from several artists, who are on Mac's, and specify the MOV Animation CODEC. Those have always worked 100% on my PC.]
Now, I see that you have FFDShow installed. One power-user here, Neale, installed that, at the direction of Adobe Technical Support, and all has been great for him. However, and especially in the PrPro Forum, many users have experienced very bad things with it, and for most, PrPro would not even run. Uninstalling that CODEC has proved very difficult, and some have had to wipe their HDD, and reinstall everything from scratch. I shudder, when mention is made of it, BUT Neale has had zero issues, and its installation DID fix a problem, that he had. I avoid it, but that is my personal choice.
Now, back to the Lagarith Lossless CODEC. One issue with some CODEC packs is that what they install is not even close to the latest version of a particular CODEC. Some are very, very old versions. Before I did much work with the Lagarith, I would check out their site, and compare version numbers, between the one installed with the CODEC pack, and what is currently the newest version. It, like the UT Lossless, is free, so it would cost nothing to install the latest version, if you did not get that one. This article goes into a bit more info on Lagarith and UT: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/875797?tstart=0
Hope that helps, and thank you for all of the info that you have provided, and for your patience.
Good luck,
Hunt

What JVM do you use? What is the best choice?

We may be rolling forward Discoverer 10.1.2 sometime in the near future. The current release uses Sun J2RE 1.4.2-06. There is a J2RE 1.4.2-09 available, as well as JRE 5.0 Update 5. Deploying JVMs is a pain when potentially hundreds of PCs are involved, and I'm sure there will be a version of Discoverer sometime in the future will prefer a different JVM.
What's the best choice, which JVM is supported & solid with the existing 10.1.2 release as well as potential future releases?

Hi,
the plus works as standard with J2RE 1.4.2-06. Right, but that isn' a must cause you can change that.
Oracle said this:
"Dynamic Versioning for SUN Plug-in is a standard Sun feature and is described at Sun website:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/plugin/developer_guide/using_tags.html#in-ie
The changes documented are not supported by Oracle. While the changes documented have been tested on a limited number of platforms, these changes are provided without any claims to their accuracy"
The solution is easy:
1. Under the path ...\discoverer\config from App-Server you find the 'configuration.xml' file
2. Open this file and search for 'jvm name' for 'sun'
3. Change the classid="clsid:CAFEEFAC-0014-0002-0004-ABCDEFFEDCBA" (static versioning ! ) through this classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9-00805F499D93" (dynamic versioning !!) and save the file
4. Restart the discoverer App-Server - ready
From now the Plus will use every version above J2RE 1.4.2-06 and only if there is an older version he will download his own version.
We tested this with several versions 1.4.2-xx and with JRE5-3. It works.

JSF - Tomcat security...what is the best choice for a high activity site

JSF - Tomcat security...what is the best choice for a high activity site
The JDBCRealm is not multithreaded so what are options for high activity site??
I would like to have Apache as front end doing load balancing, Tomcat as server and JSF.
All ideals and suggestions please.
Thanks
Phil

One more question.
Since Tomcat has this setup.
create table users (
user_name varchar(15) not null primary key,
user_pass varchar(15) not null
create table user_roles (
user_name varchar(15) not null,
role_name varchar(15) not null,
primary key (user_name, role_name)
It seems like a huge pain to keep a user with every role. What happens when you have 500,000 users???
Also, the authentications on every page....would it be easier to login once and setup a session bean check that on with the page header ??
Thanks
Phil

What is the best choice for our project? Thanks

We are a startup company and developing a webiste with two mobile app.
We use PHP in the server side and write with a private framework.
We don't want to use any host-specific APIs so that we can move to other cloud server easily.
In our case, can we use Website option in Azure?
If the answer is yes. What is the best choice for us, VM or website? We need scalability in the future.
Thanks!

hi,
It depends on your requirement. Base on my experience, VM or website all could meet your requirement. From your description, You could use azure website to host your php website (http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/documentation/articles/web-sites-php-configure/).
And you could use website auto scale feature in the future. I suggest you could see their comparison (http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/documentation/articles/choose-web-site-cloud-service-vm/
Hope it helps.

Will

What is the best choice?

Hi
I have been thinking what is the best choice between Canon HV 20, Sony HDR-SR 5:n and Panasonic HDC-SD1? I have Imac G5 (3gt) and purpose of use final cut pro 5.0 for editing. (not 6.0)
Thanks

Hi vepakari,
I don't think that Final Cut Pro 5 will support video format and usb interface that offered from those tapeless camera.
Do double check on camera compatibility list for FCP 5
The other way around is you consider FCP 6 (FCS2) or you can use iMovie from iLife suite '08 that support tapeless camcorder. import using that iMovie, and save it as project, re-open that using your FCP 5.
Good Luck.

What is the best choice of hard drives?

My G4 AGP.350MHz with 1.3 GHz upgrade needs an additional internal hard drive for backup. It currently has an 80 GB and 160 GB. I am moving out the 80 GB HDD to my G3 Beige. I am thinking about getting a 80-120 GB for replacement. What is the best choice of hard drives?
Will the 80 GB hard drive, with Mac OS 10.4.4 installed, run in my G3 Beige 233MHz with G4 500MHz upgrade?
Thanks.
Robert

"What is the best choice of hard drives?"
I'm thinking of adding a drive to my G4. I will probably put a 150 MB SATA PCI card in and get a SATA drive. Going from the ATA66 interface to the 150 SATA should be a noticeable improvement.
"Will the 80 GB hard drive, with Mac OS 10.4.4 installed, run in my G3 Beige 233MHz with G4 500MHz upgrade?"
As long as it's an IDE drive, it should work fine. Be sure you have only one of the drives set as the master, if you have more than one drive.

Apple Hardware Test, What is the Extended Test?

Hi. Using the Apple Hardware Test under disc 2 of the iMac's (late 2009) there's a checkbox for an extended test but it takes significantly longer compared to around 3 minutes only with a normal test. What does the extended test that the normal test have? Does it test more parts in the iMac?
Is there a third-party that's better than Apple Hardware Test that can test every bit of hardware in the iMac including it's power supply, internal battery charge, transistors, capacitors (if there are capacitors that are about to burst or are not delivering the proper voltage or current), if every pixek in the LCD is good, if the speakers are not torn, etc.
Gbu.

The extended AHT does a much more extensive set of tests on your RAM.
An alternative memory tester is Memtest which is a terminal command with Rember being a GUI layer for memtest.
There's also the diglloyd tools memorytester but it is not free.
AHT does video testing but I am not sure how extensive it is. And I'm pretty sure no utility exists to do component-level validation. Does such stuff like that exist for any piece of electronic equipment (TVs, radios)? That's what volt meters are for and possible test points on the pc boards.
I should add there are utilities like iStat Menus which are capable of displaying temperatures, volts, amps, watts of all many components of the hardware. But they just display the info, they aren't testing the stuff. It's up to the person looking at that info to decide if something is too hot, drawing too much current, etc.

I have an ipad 2 and when connected to my wifi at home it will not download and play you tube videos quickly. Do I need to upgrade my connenction speed? What is the optimal speed?

I have an ipad2. When connected to my wifi at home it will not download you tube videos for easy viewing. Do I need to upgrade my connection speed? Would 3 Mbps be enought or do I need to go to 6 Mbps. I mainly use my ipad to view emails, browse the internet and watch you tube videos.
thanks - Michelle

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
There are a number of factors in the 'speed' equation. Any or all of them can affect the 'observed' speed of your connection.
1. Are you in a neighborhood full of WiFi routers (and thus, lots of WiFi interference)? I can 'see' at least 22 other WiFi routers from my living room!
2. What is the maximum connect speed and band and bandwidth available from your wireless router. Is it 802.11n or the older 802.11a/b/g? 300Mbits or 150Mbits? 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz or both? Does your router measure (QoS) Quality of Service and can it change 'channels' automatically?
3. What is the observed strength of your wireless connection? Are you getting at least 80% signal when connected? Are there other people in your family also using significant bandwidth at the same time (Netflix, streaming video, streaming audio, game systems)
4. What is the "advertised" speed of your current ISP connection?
5. What is the measured throughput of your current setup. Go to speedtest.net or use the free speedtest.net app available in the App Store. Try several times, from different locations in your home, and at different times of day and night.
I have AT&T DSL advertised at 3Mbit/sec down and 512Kbit/sec up. My Speedtest.net measured throughput is about 2.4 Mbit/sec downstream and upstream is about 0.4Mbit/sec. I'm using a Motorola Netopia 2210-2 DSL modem. I have no problem viewing YouTube videos and other mobile video content on the iPad 2. I'm connected wirelessly to a D-Link DIR-655 Gigabit router rated at 150Mbps at 2.4Ghz (only) with 802.11 b/g/n enabled. The interior of my home is within a range of 30-50 feet from the router and no more than 1 wall. It is a single level concrete slab foundation of about 1500 sq. ft. with cathedral ceilings. I have successfully streamed ESPN3.com on my MacBook at the same time my son was streaming another ESPN3.com game on his MacBook Pro. I've streamed YouTube videos while my son was watching a NetFlix movie on his Wii game system. He's also successfully used Skype for extended 'teleconferences.' None of my devices are connected to HDMI on a large screen TV. 95% of the time, I can do iChat video without any signal breakup to my son (who is at a college with a Gigabit (1000Mbit) wired connection!). 5% of the time the connection drops. We haven't tried FaceTime (designed for mobile connections to be much less bandwidth-intensive, from what I understand) simply because we both have iChat on our computers.
So for me, a 3Mbit DSL connection is absolutely adequate, given all the other parameters mentioned. As the car manufacturers say, "Your mileage may vary."

What is the OPTIMAL version of the OS for a 2010 Mac mini?

Searching for expert opinions on which is the optimal (not necessarily the latest) version of OS X to run on a 2.4GHz Mac mini 4,1 2010 model, built in Feb of 2011? It's currently on Snow Leopard 10.6.8. This is my wife's machine.
Additionaly, if it happens to be 10.7.5, are there any considerations when attaching an external FW800 2-GB hard drive regarding partitioning the drive?
Thanks in advance.

I assume you are satisfied that the worst bugs in ML have been fixed.
Yes, Mountain Lion runs as well as Snow Leopard.
We're upgrading my wife's Mac mini to 4 GB and hope that will be fine for her, as she's not a Photoshop user, does not do video or play games. I hope the ML OS is not such a resource hog that it requires the *8GB you have.
Mountain Lion and Safari are both pretty big RAM hogs and will pretty much use the better part of 4GB. If she plans on running Mail, iTunes, iPhoto, etc. at the same time, then your going to want to fix her up with 8GB.
For Example: besides the basic Mountain Lion processes, Safari and iTunes I'm using a little over 4GB.
However if I open other App's like iPhoto, OpenOffice, Google Earth for example's, I can easily use 6GB+

What are the optimal values for mac and arp timeout values

Hi Guys.
What are the best values for "mac address-table aging-time" and "arp timeout" by following scenarios?:
- single sg300-10 as layer3-switch with a maximum of 10 local (direct connected) hosts
- and a 3750x-stack with 100 local hosts + hsrp with a other stack of the same sort
or for asa 5520 as internet gateway for 500 clients?
I use at the moment a mac aging-time from 300 seconds and a arp timeout from 3600 seconds.
Is this o.k.?
Thanks.

Marvel.
As far as enhancing the CLI, it will of course be enhanced when new firmware releases provide new features. As far as making it more IOS-like, best to my knowledge, no. The only other supported CLI on the SB switches are on the SX500 series and SX200E series which the CLI are all consistent. If you bought a SX500 series the commands are nearly identical minus the different feature sets.

SOLAR_MIGRATION and logical components: what's the behaviour

Hi All,
We have a Solution Manager Dev box and want to transport the contents of our project to Prod using Solar_Migration.
In dev we had created logical components. However, Basis team has already created same logical components in Prod it now seems with proper systems linked to these.
Will SOLAR_MIGRATION transport overwrite the logical components in PROD?
Will it just transport the logical components, or alse the linked systems defined in SMSY?
If SOLAR_MIGRATION also transports the systems defined in SMSY, will it overwrite similarly named systems in PROD?
If we have differently named logical components in DEV, will they simply get added to the list of logical components in PROD.
Thanks gurus,
Jurjen

Will SOLAR_MIGRATION transport overwrite the logical components in PROD?
...Change the names just to be sure.
Will it just transport the logical components, or also the linked systems defined in SMSY?
...Yes also the linked systems
If SOLAR_MIGRATION also transports the systems defined in SMSY, will it overwrite similarly named systems in PROD?
...NO, they get appended to the list
If we have differently named logical components in DEV, will they simply get added to the list of logical components in PROD.
...Yes, they get appended.

What is the optimal resolution for pdfs?

I have PDF downloads on my website and would appreciate some advice on the optimal quality of the files - bearing in mind visual quality & download speed.

"Smallest File Size" as seen in Acrobat Pro's Distiller. That usually means 72ppi / 300dpi.
