X61s compatibility with intel 310 mSata

I've read that the X61s may not be compatible with Intel's 310 mSATA, but have been unable to determine if this is "fixable" with a Bios update. I would very much like to get an mSATA if it is compatible with this great machine.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I believe that there are some mini PCIe SSDs out there. Instead of being mSATA, like the 310, which is essentially SATA over a PCIe interface, these cards work like a mini PCIe card. This generally means that you cannot boot from one directly, because the system does not recognize it as a boot device. These are not that common and could be difficult to find. However, they work in any system that supports PCIe add in cards.

Yes, you can.
You will need to purchase a Solid-state drive connector board (includes cable: For use only with computer models not equipped with an mSATA solid-state drive)

X220 with Intel 310 ssd slow boot times

I recently bought an x220 i5-2520 and installed an intel 310 80GB ssd.
I cloned C: using the intel Acronis tools, updated all drivers and firmware and all works well.
However, my boot times are over 1 minute - much less than the 20-40 seconds I see posted on the web.
I have cleaned out a lot of unnecessary items from startup using msconfig, but no major difference.
It seems to me that most of the slowdown is happening after the login. It takes around 30 seconds after that to get to the desktop.
Why are my boots 2-3x slower than others?

Hi,
I'm running a slightly different configuration, with bios at 1.21, the I7 processor, the Intel 310 ssd and a samsung SSD in the primary drive. I generally average about 20 seconds to ready for input after inputting the HD & Windows password.
I did create the "Recovery" CD/DVD set and installed to the Intel 310 using the Recovery disks without any problem. My boot time included the standard Lenovo/ThinkPad software and usually that doesn't cause much delay.
My other software is iTunes, Office 2010, Picasa, Adobe PhotoShop, and VMWare (my real work). Even the virutal system run quit quickly.
What SW are you running?
I did a couple of tests with 320GB original HD, and boot time was only 2-3 seconds more.

Apple sudio display 17-inch-compatability with intel power book

is this diplay compatable with the intel power books (graphics cards etc), if there is a possibility, whats connections need to be made?

Thank you, I took it to the Apple store and the genius guy has seen the issue before, I only had to show him one photo and he was on it. Apparently he has booked it in to get the Motherboard or Logic board as Apple call it replaced under warranty.

Is MS Office 2001 compatable with intel Macs?

I know Office 2004 works via Rosetta but will the older version work?

I’m going to have to disagree with Peter. I believe Office v.X was the first version to run natively in OSX (I’m using it and it runs very well.)
Office 2001 ran in classic and therefore is not compatible with intel machines- Not 100% sure but if I understand this correctly.... <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/272642>

Software compatibility with Intel iMac

I know it's rather early in the game, as it were, but does anyone know if Appleworks comes bundled with the new Intel iMacs. I don't see it listed, but could this be an oversight? Or is Apple getting away from it? I have used it for quite some time and I have many documents in Appleworks, but have no idea what I'd do with them if I got a new Intel iMac--sure, convert them, but to what? I don't look forward to having to "tweak" each doc, as I have had to do in the past when converting from one program to another . . . . Anyone know?

Not yet. Peggy, one of the Appleworks mavens here, is at macworld and is going to try to find out for us.

Portege R500 - compatibility with Intel SSD 320 160GB

I have installed an Intel SSD 320 160GB in my Portege R500 (PPR50E).
However, the BIOS does not detect the new drive. I upgraded the BIOS to the 1.60WIN version , the newest one I found, but the drive is still not detected.
Is there any possible solution? Or I have to throw the drive away?
Thankyou for any help

Hi,
thankyou for your answers, but finally I got it.
Previously I tried to do it cloning the drive with Norton Ghost in another computer, but maybe I did not select a correct formatting of the drive, I'm not sure. The point was that it did not work. The Portege R500 said something as insert a drive to continue. And when I tried to start with a CD of Windows XP SP3 installation it said that there was no drive available for the installation.
Nevertheless, when I started with a Ubuntu CD I could access to the drive for reading, but no installation was possible.
Then, I upgraded the Portege BIOS, but it did not work.
Finally I found the Intel software for migration of SSD disk, and it was much easier. I followed the steps, it did the cloning (hopefully I had an external USB-ATA conversor to do it) and changed again the Toshiba drive to the SSD. Without much hope, I turned on the computer ... and it worked! Everything was OK, nothing was changed ... and as expected, it works much faster.
Regards

Added Intel 310 mSata SSD 80gb

I just finished migrating the System partition on the 500GB HDD to the Intel SSD card. The Windows Experience Index went from 5.9 to 6.9. The Disk access component was 7.6. Physical installation was easy, but migrating the software was a learning experience.

I used Ghost 15 to clone the C: partition on the OEM HDD instead of the Intel Data Migration Tool. I probably would have used the Intel tool had I been aware of it, but I bought the SDD as OEM and there was no documentation included. The Intel tool is an OEM version of Acronis Home which should work fine.

Adobe software - compatibility with intel Macs

I've just bought a new iMac and hoped to be able to run my elderly Adobe software (InDesign 2 & Photoshop 7). I have enabled Rosetta but when trying to install both programs (from the original discs) it made reference to Classic (which I thought was only used to run programs that were native to OS 9). Needless to say, Photoshop did install but crashes every time I launch while InDesign fails to install at all. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there any way around it? Or do I have to buy new Adobe software. PS: I have successfully installed and are using, Microsoft Office from 2003.

I am coming from the PC land, I puchased a IMAC QUAD 7 with lots 8 gigs of memory. I tried to install photoshop essentials I think 6 for the Mac it came with a new touchpad. It would not work it crashed immediatly. I installed Photoshop c4 extended, trial version for the Mac it works just fine its problem unlike extended for PC is not 64 bit It only sees 4 of the 8 gigs of memory. It works justfine. It can not open as many pictures at same time but I can only work n one at a time. I am also running Windows 7 64 bit with fusin ware 3. Windows works quiet well. You may be able to run your older photoshop( I believe they came with both Windows and Apple versions) Inside of your apple, fusion and say windows xp are less than photoshop. Just a thought.

ProTools 6 or 7 compatibility with Intel-Based macs

I've heard people saying that ProTools LE 6 does not support Intel Core 2 Duo iMacs. Is that true?

First off the question was about the LE edition not HD. Second of all the link your provide is not for a Universal edition update.
Clearly states the following:
* This update contains no new features from version 7.2, and will not function or install on PowerPC-based Macintosh or Windows-based computers.
The reason I sent the link is so the poster could determine specs for themselves and take appropriate action.
Version 6 LE

Version 7 LE

It's not me that's over eager to respond since the info I gave is accurate the word Universal very much applies!

W700 compatibility with new Intel 310 (Soda Creek) SSD

The Intel 310 offers an mSATA interface delivered over a PCIe bus. Does anyone know if this device could be used as a replacement for the anemic Intel 2 GB TurboCache which shipped with my W700 model 2757-cto?
If so, could it be used as a boot device?
Any help would be appreciated; I'd really hate to buy one and then discover that it doesn't work or, worse yet, damaged the W700.

I want to upgrade to Lightroom 5, but I'm concerned about compatibility with my 2008 intel Core 2 Duo iMac with only 4G of Ram. Will I be able to run Lighroom 5 if I upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion?

I want to upgrade to Lightroom 5, but I'm concerned about compatibility with my 2008 intel Core 2 Duo iMac with only 4G of Ram. Will I be able to run Lightroom 5 okay if I upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion? What will happen to the applications that aren't 64-bit compatible? Also the Eye-one Display 2 colorimeter to calibrate the monitor will not run on Lion, so that will be an expensive upgrade to an i1DisplayPro. Is the upgrade important enough to offset the expense? I have an Epson R2000 printer. Will there be problems with the drivers if I upgrade to Lion? It would be great to hear from other mac users who are also photographers and who print their own photos.

Before upgrading to Lion be sure to read this link:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6271
Adobe lists these requirements:
http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-lightroom/tech-specs.html
Looking at http://www.everymac.com/ even the earliest 2008 iMac was fully 64 bit, even though Boot Camp doesn't support 64 bit Windows on that machine.

However, if your Mac has only Firewire 800 ports, you need an adapter such as one of the following to connect your FW400 external iSight:
• This Firewire 400-800 cable can work: http://store.apple.com/us/product/H7041ZM/A (I use this one.)
• Some report that this low-priced alternative cable works:

• To use your iSight's FW400 6pin-6pin cable, you can use a 6pin-9pin adapter like one of these:

Compatibility in SAP solutions with Intel Montecito Processor

Hello,
I need to know if SAP solutions are compatible with the new Dual-Core Intel® Itanium® 2 Montecito processor.
Where can I find more information?
Best regards,
Luis Barrera

Hi Narottam.
No, I don't. But, if you have troubbles setting up this environment, I could suggest you to use SUN VirtualBox. Is easy to set up and use. Also it should run with Intel Atom Procesors.
I am using this virtual environment with all the programs you ask: SB1 2007 A PL 49 (Server & Client), SQL Server Express and MS Office 2007.
If interested, please read documentation and download it from: [http://www.sun.com]
