Upgrades tips

I need to upgrade my Mac (white unibody MacBook mid-2010) with a SSD (and iMac mid-2010) and the RAM and SSD: I look to buy upgrades site Crucial and OWC site and there is a little difference, in terms of money: it's better to buy the Crucial site or OWC site.

I use both. Both have good customer, guarantee their work produced with the Mac and liberal return policies. If you are in the American OWC may be a better choice, outdoors then Crucial may be better.

  • Dell Dimension 4700 upgrade tips Help!

    Hello Dell Community, I currently have a Dell Dimension 4700 and hoped to upgrade my computer to a computer game, with a budget of around $100-200.

    I wonder as to the game going, that upgrades would produce the biggest change and progress in the game? I'm hoping to improve up to 2 GB of Ram and add a video card, but don't know if it is the best choice to go.

    I have studied this subject and found several posts in the forums, but they were all overwhelmed and I hope to get some knowledge as well as recent graphics cards or Ram that can improve my FPS in game and all around my budget. Thank you.

  • Upgrade tips - Acrobat 9 Pro Acrobat Pro 11 (CS4)

    I currently have Adobe CS4 Web Premium installed on my Windows 7 desktop PC. I need to upgrade to Acrobat Pro 11... but I want to install Acrobat Pro 11 on my laptop Windows 8, as well as on my desktop PC. My laptop does not currently installed CS4 Web Premium, and if I'm not mistaken, I don't think that CS4 will only work on Windows 8 in any case.

    I seem to enjoy a purchase of Adobe store upgrade. My concern is that I will be able to install and activate the Acrobat Pro 11 Upgrade successfully on my laptop Windows 8?

    Software upgrade should she just a previous serial number to enter, or do you actually have a copy of Acrobat 9 pro, already installed on the laptop? Woould have my serial number CS4 Web Premium required, or I have to buy a full version of Acrobat Pro 11?

    I would appreciate any advice on this.

    I think it goes you can upgrade CS or buy the new full version. You can't spend parts of the CS. At least, that is my understanding and is compatible with the staff post just gave.

    Hello

    The following manual will answer most of your questions:

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c04091762.PDF

    1. not all the RAM sticks are the same. My suggestion to use Crucial to get the right result:

    http://www.crucial.com/USA/en/memory-info

    2 Max is 16 GB as mentioned on page 2 of the manual,

    3. as #1 above.

    4. all standard SSD can do, you can see as Crucial to the right, and you can buy on Amazon after obtaining the right of Crucial.

    Finally, you need ONLY the caddy if your goal is to install 500GB SSD on the second span.

    Kind regards.

  • The upgrade of Tecra 8000

    Recently, I have a Tecra 8000 that I got from work they were buying new laptops. After you install windows 2000 on it, I gave it a spin. I was surprised how quickly that this little machine has.
    If anyone any ideas on how to get a free manual for it and upgrade tips? (graphics for example)

    Mikey'it,

    You can download the manual from the following link:

    http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tools/Tecra/T8000/manual/userman-T8000-en.zip

    The graphics chip is on the system board, so you will not be able to improve it. However, you can add more memory, for example.

  • [Tip / Information] When you download an upgrade is the original slow?

    I always use Firefox, but lately he has been funky; in other words, about every 5-10 seconds it stops (the cursor turns, so I can't use it), and even when scrolling does. Driving me crazy. So I thought I'd try Internet Explorer, and it was beautiful. So I went to my downloads, I noticed two Firefox. When I clicked it, one was Firefox, the other 2 Firefox. I have no idea why, but I must have been upgraded, or downloaded the new version, who knows. In any case, Firefox was the culprit, and Firefox2 is my old friend, regular. So, if you experience this problem, which could answer them for you.

    If he has problems with the update or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the version currently installed to do a fresh install of the new version.

    Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the file to disk on the desktop image

    Your personal data such as bookmarks are stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you will not lose data when you uninstall and (re) install or update Firefox, but make sure you do NOT delete personal data when you uninstall Firefox which removes all Firefox profile folders and you lose your data.

  • Upgrade from 5.1 to 5.5 tips precision required please

    Hello

    I hope someone can answer this in clear simple terms.

    We have Vcenter Server 5.1 build 799731

    The vcenter server is sitting on one of the 3 ESX host

    3 ESXi hosts are 5.1.0 799733

    All 3 are in a data center called SSS in a data center of SSS we have two clusters called

    Construction of 1 and 2

    two of the ESXi servers are in building 1 and the other is in building 2, they are two of only separate physical locations a couple hundred yards but still separate but on the same subnet LAN etc. two buildings connected by fiber.

    We are fully licensed for HA and tolerance to failures and Vmotion etc.

    A QUESTION THAT WE HAVE WITH THE UPGRADE, OR AT LEAST I GUESS HER QUESTION I COULD DECEIVE ME, BUT THATS WHY IM ASKING HERE.

    We are a 24/7 operation, and it's a huge, huge deal for disable us some of the VM guests running on some of 3 guests.

    We VMotion can so the guests during a host, then update this host empty 5.5 then back through vmotion guests

    or

    Should guests be on the host when it is upgraded to 5.1 to 5.5 so they are captured in the process of upgrading and upgrades themselves.


    We have not installed upgrading Manager I just physically getting by popping the CD in each of the 3 hosts one at a time as we have only 3

    I did a lot of host upgraded propagated and have never seen this issue. Do not upgrade just the VMware tools and hardware virtual until all your hosts are upgraded and you should be ok.

  • Tips to upgrade Compaq Presario CQ41-208AU

    Hello

    I bought a Compaq Presario CQ41-208AU, I actually bought for normal household use, but some games compatible DirectX 10 does not work well in this notebook, 3D images are well filtered and I get low rates.

    A particular game, I can cite is GTA IV, I play to the lowest possible resolution of 800 x 480 and again, get low frame rates. IM using Windows7 Ultimate 32 bit, on an AMD Turion II Dual - core M520, with 2 GB RAM system (1.75 GB usable) and a chipset AMD M880G with ATi Mobility Radeon HD4200. I know that the specification is very poor, so I want to update if possible. Can you suggest me if I need to chage the motherboard inorder to change the graphics card. I like the look of this laptop very much as he looks smart and I'm not thinking of changing, I'd rather spend the money to upgrade its interiors. Please help me and offer me on what material is appropriate for the DirectX 10 game at good pace.

    Sorry I didn't that I posted the Original qusetion in the computers section of office.

    Reyhan

    It is not just any way to improve the graphics. Even if you could buy a new motherboard with better graphics, when all is said and done it would be cheaper and way more easy to simply sell yours and buy one with the desired specifications. Even put graphics on the cards at level mothers CQ41 replacement is a Radeon 4350 I believe which is only a little better than you and the recommended full Board would require likely case mods to fit your laptop. Talk of earrings on a pig!

    I am currently managing a virtual environment running on ESX 3.0.2 and VC 2.0.2. I intend to upgrade this year to ESX 3.5 and VC 2.5. Anyone know where I can find information on best practices to upgrade and / or a document of instructions that will take me through the process? I had a glance on the VMWare Web site but cannot find anything.

  • CPU Upgrade Dimension 9200 tips

    I have a Dimension 9200 - rising a Dual Core Cpu E6400
    I can spend an E6700 (dual-core) or a Q6700 (quad core)

    A few tools I use (visual studio) could benefit from multi core, so obvious choice would be Q6700

    Energy consumption should not be a problem. I'm getting a video card without a fan (Sapphire Radeon HD 5670) which consumes much less then the nvidia card initially installed.

    I am especially worried about the heat. Have a fan video card means there is less air flow

    E6700 would be a safer choice him consume the same power as E6400, so I don't expect any significant temperature increase.

    Because they are so cheap I'll probably buy both cpu and just try, but what would you advice? Could ba heating problem or should I go safely to a Q6700?

    Thank you, Pat

    EKT-community

    The Dimension 9200 is compatible with either processors Core 2 Duo E6700 2.66 GHz in size until, or Core 2 Quad Q6700 2.66 GHz, your choice.

    I doubt you'll see a lot of performance change by substituting the E6400, with an E6700.

    Heat should not be a problem with either.

    But, before installing a processor, check that you have the BIOS version 2.5.1 or a newer version, when the new CPU supported has been added.

  • Problems after upgrade to Sierra.

    After the upgrade to Sierra I have questions. App & external drives are locked after the iMac is off mode 'sleep'. Unable to perform even normal shutdown. After you have reinstalled the operating system, again always get the same result. Updated from El Capitan. My iMac is a 5K, 27-inch retina, end of 2015 with hard drive internal 2 TB & Intel Core I5 3.3 GHz processor.

    I had similar problems in the opposite direction. My iMac 27-inch would freeze requiring power and on almost every day, and waking up from his sleep was problematic. Apple tips to the identification of the problem was not practical. Updated for Sierra and the process (forgot why) I've unchecked hard drive put to sleep when Possible in energy-saving and leave ticked avoid computer to sleep when the screen blanks. The combination of the hard drive part uncheck to sleep and Sierra gave me four of frost free days (my record is new so do not even celebrate) but waking up is no longer a problem. Might as well try and see how it works.
