Best performance vs value of the processor?

Hello

I'm tired of this slowdown my old i7 920 provides when editing the body 5. So I consider buying a new processor for my PC. I have good drives, Nvidia FX3800, 12 GB of ram etc but have need some more of the speed of the CPU I guess...

Here is a list of compatible processors - but who should I choose? I m only using this PC for Adobe Master Collection and other workstuff. No game at all.

But I am in doubt about wich CPU choice - not paying for something that is excessive or too slow. Any ideas?

Morten

Not really Jim. Just looking at the economy here. The 970 performs significantly better than an i7-920, especially with AVCHD/H.264 hardware and exports and one can continue using the motherboard and RAM one. The only investment is the CPU and that is about $580. Invest in a 2600K more expensive, because you have to get a new processor, new mobo, new RAM to work with 16 GB or leaving the existing RAM intact, perhaps requiring a downgrade from 8 GB to avoid the use of channel memory, which reduces the attractiveness of a 2600 and possibly a new cooler and it run better than a 970.

The i7-3930/3960 will not appear before mid-November and they need of almost everything is new, CPU, RAM, mobo and possibly water cooling due to the limited space between the huge Plug and the DIMM slots, making it difficult for the existing chillers, especially with 1600 DDR support sticks, while the initial mobos support not officially PCI-e 3.0, which is expected only in Q2 2012. It is still too early to tell what is wise to support SB - E.

I always use a 920 and want to upgrade the SB-E, but not before Q2 2012 because I want to wait for 3.0 PCIe raid controllers and support for PCIe 3.0 on the mobo, and for a price to come down a little. If the OP has the time, yes it is better wait a little, but if not, then the 970 is the best alternative.

    N ° it will not work. Copy your data to the external hard drive, and then make your own install if that's what you want. But take a look at the "slow computer" information below first. Certainly you should backup your data to the external hard drive regularly even when.

    6. the user runs an inflated/invasive such as Norton and McAfee antivirus program. Replace it with a better program. I recommend NOD32 (commercial) or Avast (free). Avira is also good, but the free version has an unpleasant reminder screen (Google for instructions on how to disable it). The user can also run several real-time antivirus/firewall/security programs.

  • Guidelines for best performance MS SQL server on EQL

    Hello

    Currently, I have a VM that the C: drive of the system as a disk VMDK on a LUN in a table of PS6100XV (24x600GB 15 k SAS drives).
    This logic unit number is shared with other virtual machines.

    The data and logs is on the D: drive which is a MS iSCSI initiator attached volume on the same table of PS6100XV.

    I think to create two volumes on the Bay and move the data and logs to the respective volume. Will this increase performance or it won't make a difference because the table is a part of 24 disks with a pool. What about braces?

    Can I create different pools and put the different volumes on these pools so volumes using different storage arrays which gives best performance? What is the optimal configuration of the eql to host SQL volumes?

    Thank you

    You certainly want to separate EQL volumes for logs and data.   It was a best practice for a long time, with or without virtualization.   The operating system has a queue of SCSI for both of these "readers" since there is in fact only a single drive.

    If you have not already you must configure the EQL MPIO customer volumes and install HIT / ME software, available on the site Web of Equallogic.   That will optimize the I/O of these volumes.

    If you do that a single physical Bay, you can have only one tank.  If you have two arrays of members, you may have one in swimming and one in the other.  There is no way to split a single physical table on more than a pool.

    Kind regards

  • ways to increase the performance of the processor

    It might be a silly thing to ask, but I can use a 4 GB USB key to increase the performance of the processor

    during execution of the movies netflix and Amazon to steam. I have 17.4 GB of free space, but then the streaming of the CPU usage is maxed out

    c increace disk space I made the following suggestions given by someone else in the community:

     You can create more free space in C by doing one of the following suggested measures.

    The default allocation for the restoration of the system is 12% on your C partition is more generous. I have them would be reduced by 700 MB. Make my computer right click on your icon, and select System Restore. Place the cursor on your C drive select settings but this time find the slider and drag it to the left until it shows 700 MB and output. When you get to the settings screen, click on apply and OK and leave.

    A flaw that might be useless which is for temporary internet files, especially if you keep no copies on the disk offline. Setting the default value is 3% of the walk. Depending on your attitude to copies offline, you could bring it to 1% or 2%. In Internet Explorer, select Tools, Internet Options, general, temporary Internet files, settings to make the change. At the same time, look at the number of days, the story stands.

    The default allocation for the basket is 10% of the disk. Change to 5%, which should be enough. In Windows Explorer hover over your Recycle Bin, right click and select Properties, Global and move the slider from 10% to 5%. However, try to let you become so complete that if it is complete and you delete a file by mistake it will bypass the Recycle Bin and have gone forever.

  • What is the best keep the battery in the best performance?

    Is how better consider keeping batteries for laptops in the best performance: 1-supported always. 2 - Use batteries for laptops without plug in power when the battery is charging.

    Hello

    It makes no difference which way you use because if you keep the AC/DC adapter is plugged in and the battery is fully charged, the battery will not be used. It will only be used if you unplug the AC adapter.

    In addition, a battery can be recharged up to 500 times so I always work with connected AC/DC adapter. But I would say to completely load and unload the battery from time to time. ;)

  • Get the best out of Satellite 1900-803 processor / upgrade possible?

    Hi all

    Well, this forum has been great for me up to now, thanks JohnnyS!

    I was wondering if there might be someone out there who can help me with the following problem:

    When I right click on "My computer" (current running winXPpro) I can't see what follows.

    line 1 * Intel (r)
    line 2 * Pentium (r) 4 CPU 1.70 Ghz
    line 3 * 1.69 Ghz, 768 MB RAM

    I guess that the two readings of the CPU speed indicates the maximum speed of the processor (* line 2 *) followed by the actual speed (* line 3 *). If this is the case, can I shake the extra 0.1 Ghz out of it, it is better to it and if the answer to each of these questions is 'yes' then how do I do it?

    Secondly, if I wanted to update (/ replace with a slightly faster) processor would be possible?
    So how high I can go and where I could get such a thing? Should I be careful?

    A big thank you to you experts helping beginners all out.

    Hi friend

    How you´re? Good hope, today I give you another clue (which, I hope, could perhaps help you... or not ;)))

    Your CPU is already underway to * 1.70* Ghz but windows often displays with a few mhz more or less. If you want to know if your CPU is really clocked 1.70 Ghz then download 'CPU - Z', which is a good reliable tool measures on the CPU.

    There should also be a tool that shows the frequency of the processor in real time and you'll see that the frequency of the processor performs constantly at 1.70 Ghz, it s more like a clock generator (which is a CPU) who will * autour * 1.70 Ghz.

    Surely, you can try to upgrade, but here in this forum person won't give you instructions or advice. If you want to know what capabilities can check which chipset is installed, and with these specifications, you should be able to know what CPU probably would take it or not. Research a little bit is never bad ;)

  • Best method of automation by adding a value in the comments advanced options

    I need to add a value in the advanced options in all my virtual machines, which means I have to turn them off, change the configuration and turn on again them.

    I was wondering what is the best method if automate this since I did not intend to do it manually (if this is a bit special virtual machine).

    The environment is vSphere with vCenter 4.1 4.1 and VMs are Windows Server and Linux SLES.

    Somebody had to do something similar?

    Hello, caddo-

    A way to add a setting to a virtual machine is to use a VirtualMachineConfigSpec and the ReconfigVM() of a VirtualMachine object method.  So, for the advanced option that you mentioned, you can use something like:

    ## the name of the VM to reconfig$strMyVMName = "someVM0"$vmMyVM = Get-VM $strMyVMName
    
    ## create a new ConfigSpec to configure the VM$spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineConfigSpec -Property @{    extraConfig = New-Object VMware.Vim.OptionValue -Property @{        Key = "monitor_control.disable_mmu_largepages"        Value = "TRUE"    } ## end new-object OptionValue} ## end new-object ConfigSpec
    
    ## reconfig the VM with the given ConfigSpec$vmMyVM.ExtensionData.ReconfigVM($spec)
    
    ## update the VM's View data$vmMyVM.ExtensionData.UpdateViewData("Config.ExtraConfig")
    
    ## check the advanced option setting (ExtraConfig item)$vmMyVM.ExtensionData.Config.ExtraConfig | ?{$_.Key -eq "monitor_control.disable_mmu_largepages"}
    

    This establishes the additional configuration for a virtual machine.  You can adjust easily to many/all virtual machines (date you probably pass by using the ReconfigVM_Task() method, which runs asynchronously).  Enjoy.

  • How to get the value of the textInput component to perform the calculation?

    Untitled.jpg

    I need some help here... I'm trying to get the value from the user input to the TextInput component that is the age, size and weight to calculate the bmr and display the result in member("result").text.

    How am I suppose to pass the integer in order for me to perform the calculation? If you'd be grateful if someone can help me with this, thanks!

    Here's the formula:

    The equation of Harris Benedict BMR estimates:

    For women: (9.56 x w) + (1.85 x h) - (4.68 x a) + 655

    For men: (13.75 x w) + (5 x h) - (6.76 x a) + 66

    My mistake. You can only re-branded a string to the text property of a text member. Just need to convert the value to a string using the string function.  Use this

    Member ("result"). Text = string ((13.75 * value (member("weightText").text)) + (5 * value (member("heightText").text))-(6.76 * value (member("ageText").text)) + 66)

  • CPU Ready, the processor affinity, and why I don't seem to get the expected performance

    I have a host that is a physical 2 Quad core 2.66 Ghz socket with 10 GB of RAM.  3i ESX 3.5 is installed.  I have only 2 virtual machines on this computer.  Everyone has 4vCPU and 4 GB of RAM.

    When virtual machines are idle and the app is works not only I see low CPU utilization and CPU Ready is a modest 100-200 on each processor.  When the application is not running, the CPU usage rises to about 10,000 MHz as expected.   However, CPU Ready also climbs to 6000-9000ms, which is by FAR more than I expect.

    I have set the processor affinity for one of the virtual machines gets 0-3 and the other 4-7.

    Why CPU ready would be mounted so high?  With only these 2 VM I would expect ready to be almost 0 CPU.

    Remember however each VM has 4 vCPUs with your two virtual machines that you will use all 8 cores as well as the service (which is still running on cpu0) console and vmkernel so there will certainly be contention climb CPU ready time - first question do you really need quad vcpu? You can try a simple vcpu - if you need to start vSMP with dual vcpu virtual - also do NOT set affinity let the vmkernel annex vms approriately
