Necessary Advisor on the Workstation upgrade

I'll update my workstation, but I have a limited budget, I'm going with i7 4790 k with 16 GB of RAM etc. But I don't have any money for any graphics card. So my question is may after effects work without graphics card? or I have to buy one to work with legacy.

My current config is

Operating system

Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit SP1

CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT

Intel Core i5 4200U @ 1.60 GHz 48 ° C

HASWELL ATU 22nm technology

RAM

6,00 GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 798 MHz (11-11-11-28)

Motherboard

Dell Inc.

Graphics

Intel HD Graphics Family (Dell)

2048MB ATI AMD Radeon HD M 8600 Series (Dell)

Disabled crossFire

It's a laptop and I'm upgrading to a desktop computer.

Also suggest more cost effective config for my setup.

Thanks in advance.

After Effects uses the GPU for very little. See the following page: features GPU (CUDA, OpenGL) in After Effects

So, unless you're one of the few people who use the obsolete renderer drawn with RADIUS, you do not need a GPU dedicated for After Effects. See the after effects system requirements page.

Now, if you work with the first or you plan to use third-party plugins for AE that need a GPU (like the Red Giant universe, 3-d element, etc.), you should definitely get a GPU dedicated, in order to check their requirements. Do not break the Bank for a Quadro or something like that well! An old map series 700 GTX would work, or you could get a GTX 900 series mid-range card and be just fine. Again, check the requirements for the first and any plugin AE you can use.

Also, 16 GB is not the amount of RAM in the After Effects world. Considering how cheap is RAM, I would recommend hitting this issue a little, if you can.

    The ROMMON upgrade is necessary when upgrading ios in ASR1K

    The ROMMON upgrade is necessary when upgrading ios in ASR1K

    I'd do it.

    My logic is very simple: the IOS update requires a reboot, Yes?  The ROMmon update requires a restart.  So why not upgrade the IOS and ROMmon in a remake?

    I see really no operational reason DO NOT upgrade the ROMmon.  It must, in all cases I've seen, 20 seconds to upgrade the ROMmon.

    Hello

    you have a post very confused as to what you ae trying to do

    you don't have to get windows 7; It's up to you whether you buy it or not

    and the upgrade of operating systems is different from the upgrade of the editions in a particular operation systyem

    and if you upgrading vista from one edition to another and the installed operating system vista had SP2 and upgrade does not, you uninstall SP2 upgrade then reinstall SP2

  • The CPU upgrade failed!

    I bought a workstation Z1 base model with the Intel CPU 2120. Remember to update, I later also bought a 3220 Intel processor, which has almost the same features and same chipset.

    When I installed the CPU and tried to boot my machine, I received the following:

    (1) light remained stable

    (2) no red LED shone, blinked or even doing a dance

    (3) five short beeps were issued, about one per second

    I watched the "HP Z1 maintenance" and Service of Guide (685888-002, LP), but this condition was not covered in the "Codes and diagnosis errors" section on p. 83

    Now, you also have a problem with conflicting information. The "HP Z1 Workstation data sheet" (http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/pscmisc/vac/us/product_pdfs/Z1_Datasheet.pdf), the list of 'Available processors' clearly indicates the i3-3220 under "processors available.  In fact, it's the datasheet, I used when you decide to upgrade my CPU.

    After the failure of the CPU upgrade, I did more research and found other data sheet (Document

    4AA3-9435EEE

    ( http://h20195.www2.hp.com/v2/GetDocument.aspx?docname=4AA3-9435EEE&doctype=data%20sheet&doclang=EN_G...) which is NOT State of the i3-3220 as a compatible CPU and, in fact, only listed two other Xeon processors as compatible.

    After replacing the CPU, my system is now back to normal, but the question (and my pocket) are bugging me. What has gone wrong? Did I waste my money on a HP data sheet?

    Yours sincerely,

    K!

    Flushed with success from the BIOS update, I tried to install the i3-3220 CPU again. I also upgraded my RAM 8 GB with no ECC Kingston HyperX sticks I had to hang out. Why not live dangerously, huh?

    Worked! The default display to 800 x 600 at initial startup. I went to the driver manager, said Windoze to update the driver, he said he was already up to date thank you much and demanded that I reload. When I rebooted, everything came pink!

    Problem solved!

    For Linux users who might come here, you will need to update your BIOS for a Linux compatible one. The list of available updates are here for on the RPM-based distributions:

    http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/swdDetails/?sp4ts.oid=5230510&spf_p.tpst=swdMain&spf_p.prp_swdMain=wsrp-navigationalState%3DswItem%253Dwk_123577_1&javax.portlet.begCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken&javax.portlet.endCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken

    It is a CLI utility, in that you can run, as I have said before, a distribution based on RPM or you can use a USB key as normal if you do install this size. If you're stuck with Windoze, the updates to the BIOS page is here:

    http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/swdDetails/?sp4ts.oid=5230510&spf_p.tpst=swdMain&spf_p.prp_swdMain=wsrp-navigationalState%3DswItem%253Dwk_123048_1&javax.portlet.begCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken&javax.portlet.endCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken

    Read the Installation Instructions and do not hesitate to use HPQFlash. It works a treat.

    THANKS to Dave and Skylarking. After that I have this post, I'll mark it resolved and suggest that my husband buy me a Xeon processor + upgrade RAM for my birthday! Who knows, maybe I'll even take 32 GB!

    Smooches to you all,.

  • After restart of the firmware upgrade

    Hi, I need to update the firmware on my controllers PS6100 EqualLogic.

    I found the instructions on how to do it and everything seems straight forward to do so via the GUI.

    I noticed there is a necessary restart after the firmware has been applied. Does this mean I have to gracefully shutdown the virtual machines running on my SAN LUNS? My iSCSI connections will be closed/broken during the restart of the post firmware upgrade?

    Thank you, Oliver.

    Hello Oliver,.

    In the same area download notes firmware and release is another PDF, entitled ' iSCSI initiator and optimize your SAN environment for high availability operating system considerations ", which includes some key parameters that will allow your computers virtual and servers through the failover time.  It is important that not only the Firmware update, but in the case of an unexpected failure due to a failure of CM.

    More if you use VMware ESXi, there is a best practices PDF for that as well.  In addition to better manage the failover, these changes have shown to improve performance as well.

    The Tech report TR1091 is available here:

    http://en.community.Dell.com/TechCenter/Extras/m/white_papers/20434601/download

    Changes for Windows and the knots of ESXi virtual machines will require a reboot to take effect.

    What version of firmware you are at, and what version you are migrating towards?

    Other things I always propose updates is to ensure that both controllers are plugged in your switch and in the VLAN correct.  Since assets CM are failed over to the passive, support gets much advertising is unable to access the storage after firmware update.  Or ports of the day before were not in the VLAN correct, or individuals with disabilities, etc...

    It is for these reasons that personally I prefer to do the updates via the serial port CLI.   The process is more talkative, and if something should go wrong, you need the serial port of some sort.   Since the installation and tested in advance is a huge time saver.   Here, we use serial mux so that all array controllers are easily accessible.

    Kind regards

  • During the installation of the ultimate upgrade, get "one or several components of the system could not be configured", then it restarts and pours me to premium.___How can I say what is the cause of the problem and fix it?

    I have the same problem as Laweaver.
    I have a HP pavillion Model # m9040n running the 32-bit version with service pack 1.
    My Vista Ultimate Upgrade drive is 32 bit and also has Service Pack 1 on it.
    I ran my system through the Microsoft Update and it is common.
    I ran Vista Advisor and he tells me that everything is good to go.
    I also ran my system through the center of update of HP and he is current.
    I tried the Ultimate Upgrade three times and got the same message twice.
    Of course, it waits until it reaches "end of the upgrade" before it fails.
    I turned all the extra wide including the firewall when I tried the upgrades
    My computer came with the home edition Premium already installed on it and I have the disks of backup for him if I have to do a repair on it.
    I have the same question though - how to tell what the cause of the problem and fix?
    Thank you

    You cannot use a Windows 7 Professional anytime upgrade product key with reinstall media, it can be used only to upgrade license of qualification basis where you bought the upgrade in the first place (Starter, Home Premium).

    The first thing you need to do is to get your key to Windows 7 Professional upgrade Express:
     
    An e-mail containing your product key will be sent to the e-mail address associated with your Windows Live ID account or e-mail address you provided if you ignored the account configuration. Note: If you use an email tool or spam blocker spam filter, be sure that you can receive e-mail messages from microsoft.com.
     
    What happens if I lose my product key?
     
    If you lose your product key, you can return to

    www.Windows7.com/GetKey and sign in using the "Sign In" link in the upper right of the page. This will allow to recover your product key if you have established your account with your Windows Live ID. If you do not configure a Windows Live ID account initially there is no record of your online product key. Check your e-mail since it is the only trace of your product key.
     
     
     
    or

    Here are four utilities, which can display your product keys if they are still there:

See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.
    ------------------------------------
    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...
    For Dell, press F8 on the keyboard until the Advanced Boot Options menu appears on the screen.
    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  • Software blackBerry Smartphones after the peripheral upgrade to 4.5.0.175 on my 8830, my browser is missing

    Yesterday, I upgraded my BB device and desktop software.  I upgraded to 4.5.0.175 (Platform 3.4.0.55) on my 8830 and now my browser icon is missing.  When I opened the application loader, "browser" is located in the lighter text and if I check or uncheck the box the software tells me that no change is necessary.

    How to bring back my browser?

    On your BlackBerry device, go to:

    1. options > advanced > host Routing Table > Menu > register.

    2 send your service from your carrier's BIS site books:
    Of your handheld: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB15402

    Go to the Personal Email Set Up icon and sign. Then under help!, select Service books and select send service books.

    Your desktop PC: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB02830
    North American carriers - scroll down to select your carrier
    Carriers worldwide - find your operator from the list

    3. with the BlackBerry device powered time, remove battery for a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to restart. This restart, even if you have already done this, is often necessary to install the service books.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones really backup and restore for the OS upgrade

    Hi all

    I'm new in the world of BB and I love it.

    I've recently updated the OS of my BB "BOLD" and was a little surprised by the backup and restore process...

    He missed some relevant info such as: BB Messenger discussions, certain parameters (network, wifi, email passwords options options...).

    Is there a way to really back up everything before the update of the OS? That's all just annoying (even if it's no big deal, the vast majority is here...)

    Thank you and have a nice day.

    See you soon

    We are not effective, we are just bored.

    The difference is this: I saw the backup upgrade automatically deleted at the end of the upgrade process. Your backup beforehand will ensure you the data for use if necessary.
