XEON processor and more...?

Hi all  together,
I work with CS5.5 and mostly with Premiere and Encore. I will probably update this version to the newest one.
I bought three years ago a workstation with Intel i5 processor with Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit). I was / am absolutely not satisfied with performance of the PC.
1) My first question is about cpu.
Now I'd like to buy a server/workstation with XEON processor. Because of high costs, I prefer to buy second hand XEON server/workstation. But I don't know exactly which XEON processor to be used with CS in a very good performance. Cany you suggest me a hardware?
2) My second question is about Microsoft Hyper V and Terminal Server.
Do you have any experiences to use CS in a Hyper V and in a Terminal Server environment? Troubles?
Thanks for your answers in advance.
Regards

  • System crashes when attempting to install 10.6.  Keeps asking to restart.  Computer is a Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor and 2 GB Memory.

    I have tried to install 10.6 and when install is complete it says restart.  The computer restarts but keeps coming to a gray screen with a small black box that says to restart.  The processor is 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual Core Intel Xeon with 2 GB of memory.  This should be more than adequate.  Any ideas?  Has anyone encountered this before?  I had to restore 10.5 from Time Machine.

    Your sig line says iMac, but TMK no iMacs were ever made with 2x2.66 GHz processors. Is this a Mac Pro you are installing on? Are you using a retail Snow Leopaard DVD?

  • Installation issues on Windows 2003, Xeon processor and Oracle 9.2 (64 bit)

    Hi all,
    I am using a xeon 4 CPU machine with Windows 2003 (64 bit). I just downloaded Oracle 9.2 (64 bit) and found that it needs Itanium processor. Is this an absolute requirement? Can I still run it on xeon? What are the problems?

  • Core i7 processor, and considerations of RAM upgrade configurations

    According to Intel, the Core i7 can access:
    3 Channels of DDR3 1066 MHz memory...
    and if this is true for Apple's new iMac 27 Quad cores, wouldn't it be most efficient to install RAM in sets of three (ie 3x4GB) = 12GB total; not sets of two (2x2MB + 2x4GB) = 12GB? And why doesn't the Apple Store offer those combinations of RAM configuration?
    This affect my considerations for future purchase. If not then:
    If and when Mac Pro go to Core i7, will this configuration of RAM (3x4GB) be applicable?

    There are many models of Core i7. The Core i7-860 used in the iMac (late 2009) only uses dual channel memory access. So you will get the best access speeds if you install memory in match pairs such as 2x2GB and 4x2GB or 6x2GB or 2x4GB or 4x4GB. You can mix and match such as 2x2GB plus 2x4GB sticks. These will all be matched pairs and run at full speed.
    Now a new innovation of the i5 and i7 processors with built-in memory management is that they can handle memory this is not in a matched pair without degrading the memory performance of memory that is in a matched pair. For example 2x2GB plus 1x4GB. In this example, the 2GB sticks will be accessed via dual channel and run at maximum speed; the single 4GB stick will only use single channel access and will hence run slower but it will still work.
    The Mac Pro architecture uses triple channel access when memory is installed in threes. For example 6x2GB or 6x4GB. The system also supports 8x2GB and 8x4GB but in those configurations, with the current Xeon processor and chipset, the memory will all be accessed then in dual channel mode. If your system is begging for more memory, running with dual channel will possibly be faster than running triple channel on a smaller amount of memory. If you are not severely memory constrained, then running the triple channel configurations will be faster.

  • I have the following Apple Computer: Dual 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4, 2 MB per processor. Can I put install new Intel Xeon processors in place of the current ones to bring my Mac up to the MacPro standards and so I can install the new Mac software?

    I have the following Apple Computer: Dual 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4, 2 MB per processor. Can I put install new Intel Xeon processors in place of the current ones to bring my Mac up to the MacPro standards and, if so, can I then install the new Mac software (Lion)?

    As has been clearly stated, no, no, and no.
    If such an upgrade were possible, it probably would be more money than it would be worth.
    If you're running a G4 (dual-processor even) you can pick up a used Mac mini (intel that is, and something from 2010 or newer would be the best bet) that will be screaming fast compared to a G4.
    Once upon a time, processor upgrades were not only possible, but a good deal, and a relatively inexpensive way to get more life out of your Mac. I upgraded a G3 tower to a G4 for  few hundred dollars, and I was glad I went that route at the time. Finally,  CPU upgrades, at least as far as I know, aren't available anymore.

  • Is it ok to leave my old photos in Aperature and start with new photos in Lightroom?  MacPro with 2 x 2.26 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor, 6 GB memory, 1 TB harddrive.

    Is it ok to leave my old photos in Aperature and start with new photos in Lightroom?  MacPro with 2 x 2.26 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor, 6 GB memory, 1 TB harddrive?
    Or should I transfer them to Lightroom?

    That's really a personal preference. Support for Aperture is coming to an
    end and you may find yourself unable to get to theses photos in the future
    in the case of a HDD crash if you can't get the software to reinstall.
    Faced with that prospect, I would probably put it on my list of things to
    do when I am feeling really bored and looking for something to amuse myself
    with. You can export your Aperture photos in their original format to a
    folder on your desktop and then import them into Lightroom. Use the copy
    option on the import to save the photos in a new folder within your
    Lightroom catalog.

  • Error:Crystal report Print option in xeon processor

    i am using a server with windows 2008 server and xeon 5520 series processor. windows in 64 bit with 16 Gb of ram.
    everything is working fine except the print option in crystal report..
    i tried installing crystal report basic runtime but it says that it doesnt supprt xeon processor .
    kindly solve this issue .
    Thank you in advance

    You'll have to supply a whole bunch more detailed info. Telling me that you have 2008 server and xeon 5520 series processor, windows in 64 bit is like telling your mechanic that you have a blue car with 4 wheels and it does not work. No info re. engine, of make or what the problem is... And with that info, you want your mechanic to fix the car...
    1) What CR / BO SDK are you using?
    2) what version of the above are you using?
    3) What updates for (1) above are you using?
    4) What development language are you using?
    5) How are you deploying the runtime for (1) above?

  • Intel Xeon Processor E5-1680 v2  (25M Cache, 3.00 GHz)

    Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-1680 v2 (25M Cache, 3.00 GHz)
    the maximum turbo frequency performance of this chip (as use in the new Mac Pro 8 core version i think) is 3.9GHz. How is this achieved through operating the system? i.e is it done through Mavericks?
    thanks

    Thanks for the link.. Made an interesting read. However I am purchasing a MacPro for only 1 main reason:FCPX. FCPX seems to be one of the very few apps that can take advantage of the multiple primary processing cores as well the new GPU configuration. Having an 8 core (despite the 'only slightly' slower clock speeds), must surely be more advantageous than having 2 less processing core's processing multiple threads.
    With the current lack of support for the nMP hardware, (and that's hardly surprising considering it's only just coming out), things can only get better for the nMP. Adobe (so I've heard) are already earmarking multiple GPU support etc.
    What interest me from the article is that all the E5 processors have the same thermal design point rating - does this mean they all use the same amount of power under the same processing load? Or have I misunderstood this?
    Thanks.

  • "Genius" told me I fried both Xeon Processors in my Mac Pro

    So I've been having a couple problems with my Mac Pro. Sometimes when turning on the MP or when coming out of sleep mode the display won't come on. Tested the display and cables on other machines and it works fine. I'm able to turn off the computer blind (control+eject, return) so I assumed it was the graphics card (ATI Radeon HD 2600) but before I replaced it I decided to take it to the Genius Bar to have it looked at.
    The Genius told me the fans were running high when he powered it up and said that wasn't good then after a brief reboot (while holding optioncommand+UP, whatever that does) he said I fried both processors, and yes he figured it out that fast.
    I take good care of this machine cleaning it out with canned air once every other week and I don't use my MP for anything heavy duty that would fry the state of the art processor, I have the Adobe CS4 master collection but really only use Photoshop, Dreamweaver and Flash. I also have Logic Express and Office but that's about it for major software.
    First question (that I didn't ask because I was floored by him telling me this) is that I have the 2.8Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, doesn't that only have one processor? How did I fry BOTH of them when I thought there was only one?
    I did ask how this is possible and he just said "there are a lot of ways it could have happened", then suggests I sell my MP on Ebay and buy a new one because its going to cost me $2000 to fix it. Now why would I buy a brand new one if the high-end processors can just fry for no reason?
    So anyway, I get the MP home trying to figure out what to do. I take it half apart and give it a good cleaning, plug it in and BAM working fine. So obviously not the processor like the "genius" told me in his 5 minute examination.
    So my main question is any idea's on what this could be AND what apps/software can I use to help pinpoint problems like this?

    Fans always run high when you first power it on. It's normal, just the system testing itself out.
    There is Hardware that turns the fans on maximum at startup, and keeps turning them back to maximum. If the system is working, the processor reads the temperatures (in the processors and various parts of the cabinet) and takes action to turn down any fans that are running too high for current conditions. It has to keep coming back and telling them to slow down -- if the processor halts, the fans go back to maximum within a few seconds.
    I think the "genius" concluded that if the fans did not turn down right away, "your processors were fried." That is way too simple an explanation. There are lots of problems that could cause the fans to keep running on high. Also, I am not sure how many Mac Pros these guys actually see.

    It's a bad idea to post your email address - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove it. You should not expect people to email you - this is an open forum.
    I'm afraid your Mac cannot be upgraded to Lion, and thus is not compliant with iCloud. The only option you have there is to set Mail up manually to access your iCloud email, but the other facilities won't work.

    We are suffering from an “empty entropy pool” within the JDBC driver.

On our servers, we are typically in a “headless” configuration so the pool may not be replenished properly.

  • Should I upgrade the RAM, the Processor, and add an ATA/133 card?!

    Hello!
    I have a few more questions...
    I only have 2 internal drives...
    (one 300GB which is the main one that runs the applications and one 60Gb used as extra storage mainly for my video projects)
    Do I need an ATA/133 PCI controller card for them?
    will it really be worth it?
    (meaning will it actually make a difference in speed or not?)
    or do you only need one of those cards if you have 3 or 4 drives?
    also,
    would adding more RAM (up to the 2.0 GB limit)
    (my comp is currently at 1.25 GB)
    make a huge difference?
    and the processor...
    if i upgrade it to the 1.8 GHz
    (it's currently at 867 MHz)
    will it be a major improvement?
    i guess I'm asking if i would benefit in upgrading
    everything:
    the RAM,
    the processor,
    and adding an ATA/133 PCI controller card
    or would just upgrading/adding one or two of these be suffice?
    I'm seriously looking into upgrading my comp but I want to know
    what benefits me and what won't really make a difference
    -Cristina-
    p.s.
    I know I posted this somewhere earlier,
    but I'm just so anxious :/
    I've been looking at so much information that my head feels like it's going to explode!

    Hi-
    You don't need a controller card.
    If you keep your main drive(s) on the ATA/100 bus (rear carrier), and add (if you like) up to two drives to the ATA/66 (forward carrier) bus, for storage, archives, etc., you will have fine performance from all drives.
    If you are going to add a drive, I would add a larger drive to the ATA/100 bus, and move the smaller (60gb) to the ATA/66 position, relegated to storage. Your graphics work (is it?) will then run well on the two drives on the ATA/100 bus.
    In a G4, running with maximum RAM (2gb) is always a good performance move, and helps reduce the "spinning beachball", especially with large graphics files. As for "huge difference", not as such, but, RAM is one of the cheapest (especially now) performance buys that can be had, and more RAM is always better than less.
    Upgrading to dual 1.8ghz processors would be a "Wow!" type of upgrade, compared to the current dual 867mhz processors. Be advised, that processor upgrades require that you be able to boot to OS 9 prior to installing the processor upgrade. This is to apply necessary "patches" to allow the system to use the new processors. If you don't still have a boot-able OS 9 installed on your machine, you will need to have that ability prior to a processor upgrade.
    Another processor upgrade option, would be to change your processors to dual 1.25 or 1.42mhz processors from another MDD. The difference from a 11.25 dual processor, and the dual 1.8, is really between 10-15% increase in performance, with the 1.25mhz providing about 20-25% increase over the dual 867mhz processors. The main problem with this approach, is that there are some modifications that must be made, which aren't the average "do it yourself" type of work.
    In the end, though, you may want to take the upgrade money, $600+, sell the MDD, $300+, and put the money on a new Mac. Don't get me wrong, I like upgrades, but it is as much to tinker, as it is to boost performance. And, at the end of the day, I don't need a new Mac. If you don't, either, you will be happy with the upgrades.

  • Can I upgrade my processor and graphics card in my HP Pavilion g6-2244sa Notebook PC?

    Hi I bought this laptop 2 years ago for gaming purposes and school work. I was told by the shop assistant that it can run most fo your big games such as Call Of Duty and FIFA. Well frankly i was lied to and this laptop struggles to even play the simplest game Minecraft a game about pixelated blocks that you destroy and place and this can't even run it I am very annoyed about this and seeing if i can upgrade the machine never crossed my mind until now. So i am asking to see if it would be possible to upgrade the Hardware of this machine mainly the processor and graphics card, here are the specs of my laptop:
    Processor- AMD E2-1800 APU w/ Radeon HD graphics (2CPUs) (1.80)GHz
    Graphics Card - AMD Radeon HD 7340G
    RAM - 8Gb
    Memory - 1Tb
    Now I am wondering if this machine's processor and graphic's card can be upgraded and if so what would be the price of it and where would be the best place and if the cost is too much would i be better off buying a new machine? 
    If you need more specs reply with the ones you need and i'll get them for you thank you for the help!

    Put this way if that system isn't costing you 2,000US or more then it will not play Call Of Duty and FIFA regardless of what the store sales person says. To play those games your laptop has to fall into the catgory called "Gaming Laptop" Specs and those come with cost and weight to show for it. Your laptop is only good at low games resolution and will not handle graphics intensive games. Those requires Gaming Laptop specs those cost money to be had. So if you still want to Game COD style you need to put down the cash for serious Game Laptop to perform under pressure. Forget about upgrading your current system what you want is a Serious Gaming Laptop if your going to play COD.

  • Need help choosing processor and display for X240 please

    I'm about to purchase an X240 today or tomorrow and, after doing multiple forum searches and reading a 67-page X240 thread elsewhere, I would really appreciate some help choosing a processor and a display. If it makes a difference, I've decided on:
    *Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
    *8GB of RAM
    *256GB SSD
    I intend to use the laptop for viewing/editing Word documents and Powerpoint presentations, streaming movies, and streaming recorded lectures. I'm not sure what lecture viewer/player my school uses yet, but I do know that it has options to play the lectures at accelerated speeds (1.5x, 2x, etc.) and that I will definitely need to use this feature. I'm not computer literate enough to discern whether the processor type has any effect on this. I will use an external drive if I need to download and save any lectures. I also plan to do some infrequent and basic photo editing with Windows Photo Gallery and MS Paint. I'm willing to pay extra for a smoother/faster experience, but I don't want to go with the i7 processor if it's overkill for my purposes or if there are other significant trade-offs besides price.
    As for display, I'm torn between the regular HD (1366x768) IPS Non-touch, regular HD IPS Touch, and FHD IPS Touch.  Re: HD vs FHD, I've been using a 1280x800 13.3" non-IPS display for the last 6 or 7 years, and I'm pretty happy with it except for the limited viewing angles. Wouldn't regular HD on a 12.5" screen be a step up in resolution? A lot of the reviews of the regular HD on the X240 express disappointment with the "low" resolution, but I don't know if it's really that bad, or if people just have much higher expectations/standards than I do. I'm leaning towards regular HD because my glasses are so strong that increasing the sharpness of what I see also has the side effect of making things appear smaller (minimization error), so I'd probably have to mess with text/DPI scaling if I went with FHD, which isn't a perfect solution from what I've read. I'd only consider getting a touch version if I need FHD (since it doesn't come in non-touch), or if it somehow makes the HD display sharper or more vibrant--I have no intention of actually using touch features.
    Apologies for the length, and thanks in advance for any advice! :-)

    Actually I have been doing further research and I personally would either go with the 2.6GHz NON RETINA MBP or cough up the cash and go all out on a 2.6GHz RETINA MBP and upgrade the RAM to 16GB  and upgrade to 768GB Flash storage, I am a student as well so will get a discount which will help.
    My fears are that if I get the Retina model I will not be able to upgrade it even further, I want to keep the computer for at least a good 5 years, during those 5 to 8 years will the current upgrades be enough to keep up with the top games and programs etc? Also I have read that repairing the Retina display model is very diffcult  and it can malfunction commonly, so I am guessing I should get apple care on top of it just to be sure with this particular model?
    I am assuming that they they will bring out the new models out next year and all the chinks and bugs of the current Retina model will be fixed so to speak, of which I have read there is a few... Would it be worth buying the NON RETINA MBP and then selling and upgrading to an improved RETINA MBP model next year?
    Finally if i back up my files on a hardrive would I have to use the USP SUPER DRIVE to install files onto the RETINA MBP or can i directly do this without the USP SUPERDRIVE?
    Thanks

  • Scalability to Multiple Processors and Faster Processors

    To what degree do Final Cut Studio's compute-intensive operations, such as rendering video or creating DVD content, scale by number of processor or clock rates of those processors.
    More to the point, to what degree would I expect going from a dual 2GHz G5 machine to a quad (i.e., dual, dual-Pentium) 3GHz machine to approximately triple the throughput of such operations?
    Thanks for the ideas!

    I see some benchmarks on Apple's website regarding the new 8-processor Xeon machines.
