Dual-Core or Quad core for 3 Mainstage

Hello

I'd go with the quad core. MS will use as many hearts as you want. Simply enter the number in the Advanced preferences Audio settings. You can use all of them, although I've seen a few comments about letting a carrot or two open for the operating system and other processes on the computer. With the i7, there are also 4 virtual cores, so you will see 8 in preferences. I usually give 7 MS and leave an opening for the OS, but I didn't a lot of testing with this, while others may have more information about what I do.

Definitely go with 16 GB of ram. If you start using instruments of large sample, you will need. You can use aliases to manage memory more efficiently, but it is nice to have enough ram so that you do not have to worry not so much stuff like that. I use 5 Kontakt and EXS a bit and I would certainly hurt if I had only 8GB. Generally, I think that the required memory tend to go up, in order to have more ram will prolong the life of your computer. Unfortunately (and incredibly!) you can't add ram later, because I believe that the ram is soldered to the motherboard.

I am also a big fan of getting the biggest SSD (or all what they call the last storage solid-state on recent Macs) you can afford. You cannot replace this component on the newer models of MBP either, then you will be stuck with what you buy. Applications, sample libraries, plug-ins, etc, that all seem to grow in size over time and it's not funny if you run out of room.

Good luck!

    Hi Gary

    Yes you are right: you have to change to Council for the Quad core processor upgrade. It will cost you a lot compared to the price of the laptop.

  • Laptop with Quad Core for early holiday gift-

    You want to make me a gift holiday at the beginning and has been thought to splurge on a laptop with the Intel Core 2 Quad Core Extreme QX9300 with 8 + GB of RAM I was wondering if anyone has used a similar configuration to the ESX ruin under my computer? Thanks in advance-

    Hello

    I have a Dual Core T9500 w/8GBs of memory... HP 8710w model... However, the HP 8730w is now out and I'm aiming for that. Quad cores running too hot and too burn battery to be of great use in a laptop at the moment. I hope that this will change.

  • Audio Software OR Traktor - freezes for about half a second because of Dual Core

    Hello

    I've been test Native Instruments Traktor DJ Studio 3 and very often the audio timeline would freeze for about half a second and the game continues. I also have a good low latency soundcard PCI card, so that does not these breaks.

    I managed to get rid of this problem by disabling the second processor core in the BIOS setup. However, I don't like the fact that I'll have to do each time that I use Traktor.

    Is it a hardware problem or software? Software that does not use the two hearts should be able to run without problems, but apparently, there are a few interruptions happening that prevent some programs smoothly.

    That's why I'm posting here instead of the forums of NOR.

    Hello

    Why wouldn't be a hardware problem?
    The fact is that the processors with dual core Intel design and it will appear in Device Manager. Also I m sure that Intel will design with double CPU and core more in the future.

    However, I think and I'm sure it's only a software problem. Software developers have overlooked this fact that there could be another type of processors. In my opinion, you must contact the software manufacturing support to clear this problem. Maybe a few updates are available.

    That's all I can suggest.

  • Can I put my 24 inch Dual Core IMac (early 2009) 4 GB ddr3 1067 Mhz RAM to 16 GB ddr3 1600 Mhz (it says maximum of 8 GB for this model)?

    Can I upgrade my 24 inch Dual Core IMac (early 2009) 4 GB ddr3 1067 Mhz RAM 16 GB ddr3 1600 Mhz? I read that it only can be upgraded to a maximum of 8 GB but I'm not sure whether that was when they were sold or if the maximum capacity of the computer can take.

    Thank you for your help,

    Jacques Bizot

    You can upgrade the RAM, but 16 GB ddr3 1600 Mhz is NOT designed for your iMac. Please use the RAM specifications correct, iMacs are extremely sensitive to the RAM and require the correct specifications and high quality RAM. Advanced users on these forums tend to recommend Crucial (buy directly from them) or if you are in the USA, RAM from OWC (www.macsales.com).

    Do not buy RAM in your store, the local computer or cheap RAM at best, it's probably a waste of time and at worst it will simply not work.

  • CPU dual core quad core replace on the radiator? Mini Tower Optiplex 755

    Hi, I am currently using a dual core 6850 and I think to buy a quad core. I have a 500W PSU as a spare.

    Can I replace the CPU on a Quad Core without changing the cooling system?

    heinflhs

    Here are the specifications of the replacement PSU part. Are they not better than the original power SUPPLY Dell block?

    This power supply is ATX and not EPS12V

    Better is not the issue.  Dell power supplys 80% efficient are not 70% ATX.  The - 5v rail is a question too although it may cause a fire from the motherboard or damage your system.  Its a dead giveaway that this is a power ensure between 1990 and 2000.

    This current is on track is not negligible. There is a single 12V RAIL on that unit and its maximum is 17A

    EPS 12V units have multiple @ 18 amps 12V rails each.  MAX Power on 12V rails is 264w not 204w

    This unit has much more on the 5V and 3.3V rails at the expense of the independent 12V rails and CPU 4 pin. So not this emergency equipment is not likely to work well or not at all.

    Recommended update or replacement is EVGA 750B 1

  • What drivers are needed for windows 7 recognize a system with 4 processors, dual-core?

    I have a HP ProLiant DL580 G4 with the following CPU specifications:

    Four dual-core processors Intel Xeon 7140 M. All of them identical, but the specifications can be found here

    I'm running Windows 7 ultimate or Windows 7 Enterprise, but the recognition of all the 4 physical processors is a MUST.

    I can run windows on it very well, but he acknowledges that 2 of the 4 physical processors.

    It seems it would be a driver issue, as Device Manager shows two devices having the status of 'unknown '.

    If it is, in fact, a driver problem, does Microsoft have all the drivers available, or shall I seek third party?

    I would appreciate any advice you can offer. Thank you!

    I hope that someone will know better, but (from the search), so it seems that it only supports two:

    "Computers with multiple processors (CPU):
    Commercial servers, workstations and other PC high-end may have multiple physical processors. Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise and integral allow two physical processors, offering the best performance on these computers. Windows 7 Starter, Home Basic and Home Premium edition recognizes only a single physical processor. "

  • Inspiron 530 s CPU Upgrade - why some Dual Core and not others?

    Hi all

    Inspiron 530 s been chugging along fine (although strong), but has now been replaced, so decided to take a look inside, radiator & fan felt loose so unscrewed it and he lifted directly out absolutely no resistance, so I think that the cpu and the radiator cleaning and put thermal paste on would be a good idea.

    When I opened it, I thought that I might as well upgrade the processor as older bicoeur are going for about $10-15 here, (he currently has a 1.87? double heart in it), so I got a reading of the forum to find what was possible

    from the bottom of post

    quote - shesageordie

    Inspiron 530 s has a mother FoxConn G33m02 meets the specifications of Dell and will support the following Socket LGA 775 processors:

    Processor Intel Celeron 430
    Intel Celeron 420 processor (1.6 GHz, 800 FSB)
    Intel Pentium Dual Core 2140 (1.6 GHz, 800 MHz FSB)
    Intel Pentium Dual-Core 2160 (1.8 GHz, 800 MHz FSB)
    Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5200 (2.5 GHz, 800 MHz FSB)
    Intel Core 2 Duo E4300 (1.8 GHz, 800 MHz FSB)
    Intel Core 2 Duo E4400 (2.0 GHz, 800 MHz FSB)
    Intel Core 2 Duo E6320 (1.86 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB)
    Intel Core 2 Duo E6420 (2.13 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB)
    Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 (2.33 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB)
    Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 (2.66 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB)
    Intel Core 2 Duo E7300 (2.66 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB)
    Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 (2.80 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB)
    Wolfdale Core 2 Duo E8400, 3.0 GHz, 6 MB, 1333 MHz FSB, 65W, E0
    Wolfdale Core 2 Duo E8500, 3.16 GHz, 6 MB, 1333 MHz FSB, 65W, C0

    Wolfdale Dual-Core Kit, E8600 3.33 GHz, 6 MB, 1333 MHz FSB, 65W, E0

    Also, Intel Pentium E6500 2.93 GHz processor dual core.

    Before installing the processor, that you should check that you have BIOS Version 1.0.15 or above, when support for the new Intel processor has been added.

    Note: The Quad Core 2 processors are not supported by the Inspiron 530 s [Slimline]

    Bev.

    Theres now my problem

    Seem some of the processors used cheap available locally does not not at these figures (and they seem to be somewhat of Eug than those that match)

    for example the E8200 E6850, E7200, what of these processors prevents them from working?

    And as a note aside will upgrade the radiator and the fan, if I get a different processor?

    Nigelt74

    The E7200 and E8200 are 65w/45nm Wolfdale processors and should work.

    The E6850 is a 65w/65nm Conroe and will not work

    There should be no need to replace the entire radiator/fan of the 530 Inspiron s, but remember to check the version of the BIOS before installing the processor.

  • Dual core proccessors count to the minimum specifications of Flash Player 11?

    The minimum specifications for Adobe Flash Player 11 on a Windows computer, it takes a 2.33 GHz or more fast x 86-compatible processor.  The majoriity of our computers run dual core, or indeed Quad-processors, but each core is less than 2.33 Ghz.

    My question is, does the minimum specification of 2.33 GHz apertain for each carrot or this is the total of all the nuclei that is a dual-core 2.25 Ghz = 4.5 GHz processing power, so a 2.25 GHz dual-core would meet the minimum specs?

    Another question regarding the minimum specifications, the 128 MB memory graphics must be dedicated RAM or VRAM, or can it be shared RAM?

  • Difference b/w processor 2 GHz & 1.8 GHZ DUAL CORE?

    Hi all

    I am little confused here, seeking your help guys

    What is the difference b/w 1.8 GHZ & 2 GHZ Dual Core Processor?

    In fact, I'm looking to buy 6 s IPHONE 64 GB here in Dubai, but I found above mention question in 2 different stores.

    2 ghz is cheaper than 1.8, 2 separate processors by APPLE in 6s?

    need your help.

    Thank you

    The iPhone 6 s uses an Apple A9 64-bit processor. Apple does not release the specs on the clock speed in their tech specs.  A reseller of Authourized Apple will sell iPhone 6s at a price for each model, based on the storage.  A dealer will Apple NOT sell iPhones in the same series model at different prices, they fix, by features they make up on the spot like that.

    I can assume only you're shopping to unauthorized resllers, in which case there is no verifiable way to know what they are selling or how they came by it. They can also tell to do whatever they want and you gouge for whatever price they can get from you.

    Search the site of the store Apple UAE UNITED and you will see that Apple prices all series of iPhone at a different price for each option of storage model. There is not many price for a model of iPhone data.

  • Can Satellite L300D 21 X receive a CPU upgrade - to dual-core?

    I want to make my laptop more faster to use software for creating games.

    To do this, I need:

    (1) 2 GM RAM - which I know I can upgrade and does not seem to be a problem.

    (2) adequate graphic/video card

    (3) dual Core processor

    or

    (4) a new compatible motherboard

    Is it possible and if yes, what parts are compatible, and can I do that I can't afford a new computer?

    I search google for hours before coming here and there is really no conclusive answers out there anywhere that I can see.

    see you soon

    > Is - it possible and if yes, what parts are compatible, and can I do that I can't afford a new computer?

    You can upgrade the RAM it would not be a big problem.
    You should be able to update the RAM up to 8 GB (2 x 4 GB)
    RAM DDR2 800 Mhz must be compatible.

    Upgrading the graphics card is not possible.

    The new update of motherboard? Well, first you must use the same motherboard made for L300/L300D series due to the layout.
    Second in my opinion it is completely useless since the new motherboard is expensive and would cost between 250-350. Before you spend 300 for the new motherboard, I recommend buying the new notebook

    Upgrade CPU? It is a question of the compatibility of the chipset
    Since the laptop uses an AMD chipset, you can only use AMD processors.
    The laptop seems to be equipped with an AMD Sempron for Notebooks - 40 2 GHz CPU
    If you really want to upgrade the processor, you must use the CPU of the same family

    But even if you want to use the new processor from the same family, there will always be a BIOS compatibility issue.
