What do you think of this new configuration of the computer for me?

I am about to buy a new computer and would appreciate any comments about my choice. I'm buying because as my current computer missed using Content Aware Fill and HDR and is too slow for games.

Here is what I currently intend to buy:

Alienware Laptop m18x

Intel i7 2630QM 2.0 GHz (2.8 l turbo boost, 6 MB Cache)

Win 7 64 bit

RAM - 16 GB dual channel DDR3 at 1600 MHz

Video cards double too much for games (2 x AMD HD 6970 M)

80 GB SSD for the OS and programs

120 GB SSD (40 for games and about 80 GB for Scratch)

750 GB 7200 RPM drive external hard usb 3.0 for files.

See something stupid again? :-)

For another $ 150 (5% of the total), I could get a CPU that is 10% faster, but I think it would be smarter to go cheap now and update in a year or two.

16GB is all I can squeeze into this laptop without spending a fortune.

Since I can't have more RAM, I think have SSD for scratch might be good.

I do not know what files I generate but my camera is 18 M + pictures of pixels. I open usually less than five years at a time. I'm usually not opening more than five layers. I also use LR 3.4. I also get a Dell 30 "2560 x 1600 monitor.

I can afford speed but I don't like throwing money. I need a laptop instead of a desktop computer because I travel and want to bring my laptop with me.

Can you suggest any improvements? See the bottlenecks?

Thanks for the tips!

The * _MVM_*.tmp files are taken by the virtual memory manager Mondo in Photoshop.

Word is, if you create a folder which has got a short trail (e.g., D:\TEMP) and set the TEMP and TMP environment variables to point to it, it will most likely use this folder.  Some people including the default report just files appear on other players, apparently because the MVM system determines who is somehow a better place than the temporary folder prescribed.

I'll be curious to hear your experience with this system.  It sounds very powerful.

  • What do you think of this laptop?

    Choose a laptop as my only one I did by a month ago has turned to a point of sale.  Here are the configurations: DV4T series, operating system WIndows Vista Premium 32 bit processor is the processor Intel Core Duo Processor P7450 (2.13 GHz) hard drive 250 GB SATA 5400 RPM hard drive and graphics card has 512 NVIDIA GeForce 9200 M GS.  Is this good?  Please let me know what you think.  Thank you in advance.

    If that's all you want to do any new laptop on the market well fills the Bill. Seriously the current material is incredibly strong and able to multitask with ease, computers even 2 or 3 years ago. In fact, I disagree on the Intel graphics. I have Intel graphics card on my laptop because I do graphics stuff that requires something better, but recent versions of Intel Graphics Media Accelerator are more then good for everyday and very stable and reliable computing. I agree to stay away from nVidia graphics right now if you can, but go with Intel or ATI and you will be fine unless you pick up a habit of game in this case, you want the ATI card.

  • What do you think of this vector illustration I did?

    image.jpgimage.jpgTell me what I have to work and how. Thanks in advance.

    Your track on the image is specific enough regarding the trace. Here I removed most of the color and put it on the photo.

    Your treatment of the subject is flat, dull, is do not think?

    A way to fix is to use mesh fillings so you can add highlights, darker regions and "easily" to modify them as you go. The drawing, this would give a dimension. You can also opt to do a bazillion polygons to go for a more modernist interpretation.

    But we have no idea of what you are wanting to achieve. It would be easier (and more efficient on our part of time), if you pointed to similar designs you want to emulate. Otherwise, we could give a hundred ways of drawing it that do not match your goals, whatever they may be.

  • New configuration of the computer with Acrobat XI Pro Upgrade package

    I bought a new system with Windows 8 Pro, I throw in desktop mode. On my OLD system, I installed a purchased copy of Acrobat 5 Pro, which I later upgraded to Acrobat 8 Pro. My question is: what installation process I have to follow to install an copy newly purchased upgrade to Acrobat Pro XI on my new computer system, which currently is not one of my products from Adobe installed on it?

    You only need the serial number of the previous version that qualifies you for the upgrade.  You don't need to have one of these previous versions installed on the new machine.

  • Problem with the new configuration of the computer

    Hello. Read some guidelines for the installation disc in a new PC and I would like to ask for your help with my setup:

    My PC is msi x99a sli + i75820k, 32 GB of ram, msi gtx970, I use the CS6 version

    The problem is with the installation of drive: Samsung 950 pro ssd 512 GB, the SSD ultra more than 256 Sandisk, Toshiba 3 to dt01aca300

    The Sandisk SSD will be my OS, programs + pagefile

    The thing is: raw material should stay on the slower toshiba or should I put it with projects and media on the fastest ssd cache?

    The default location for them being on a SATA III SSD, I just leave them in the default location on the boot drive in the users folder.  Since they regenerate if necessary there is no reason to check them, just delete the every once in a while

  • Your updated last night ruined firefox for me. I'm uninstall. It does not easy and friendly way. And I'm not interested in having to close new windows every time I click on something... What did you think?

    Your update of Feb. 01, 2012 has ruined the firefox I knew.
    It opens new windows and I can't stop it.
    It is no longer open tabs I had open when I closed it, causes me a lot of work.

    It ignores the settings I have in the options, and quite frankly, if it ignores the basic parameters, I have to wonder how safe it really is now...

    You should reverse this update and review what you did... I hate this new version, and I will be uninstalling.

    What did you think?

    Update here: I spent some time restart FF in safe mode and turning my extensions on one at a time. I realized that the add-on "Disconnect from Facebook" was causing problems mentioned above. Once I disabled this extension, my browser back to normal. I don't know if other extensions are causing this problem, but this troubleshooting method worked for me.

    PS - I returned to disconnect from Facebook and manually updated, and now it works well.

  • What do you think of the new Logo of Eloqua?

    new-logo4.png


    I just noticed that Eloqua has updated their logo.   I love him and commercialization in me would like to know more of the story behind it:

    • Why the logo has been updated?
    • What is the new logo intended to convey?
    • Why were the red and gray colors chosen?
    • What the font has been used?

    As I said, I really like the new logo, but knowing the backstory to its development gives it a richer sense.

    What do you think?

    Before that we have redesigned our logo and visual identity, we have defined our positioning in the market as the "modern marketing experts."  Given our history as leaders in the marketing automation and our vision of marketing as a key factor in the revenue performance, he seemed a natural choice.  We have not updated our identity for several years and the new positioning, with the emphasis on 'modern', claimed an up-to-date appearance.  As Heidi pointed out, the previous identity was intended to convey solid, corporate, serious business.  He did his job.  But now it was time to highlight our unique personality, focused on the customer, "fun!"

    The new logo is very fluid and we have voluntarily incorporated the design of infinity, symbolizing the "unlimited possibilities".  We do fun things with the symbol in our marketing; You may have noticed how we it animated in one of our videos of DF.  I'm not a big fan of logo bugs, but I think we hit a home run by incorporating the bug in our current logo.

    We decided to stay with our Red primary color... it is with us since the beginning and carries some equity.  It is an energizing color and works well with the new design.  But we've added a whole new slate of colors secondary to our palette including teal, slate blue, yellow/orange.  It will give our merchants more options and, in accordance with our 'modern marketing experts' positioning, brings more energy to our identity.

    The new slogan, 'How Marketing Works' modern, has been one of the easiest decisions we did (and slogans are usually the most contested element a refresh of the brand).  It does a great job to support our new positioning.

    DF is just the visible part of the iceberg with respect to the deployment of our new positioning and identity.  To see how we are going to deploy it in video and guarantees, visit www.eloqua.com and link on the banner of DF.  Much more to come!

  • What is the right configuration of the port for my Photosmart C6180 using 32-bit Windows 8?

    Hi all

    I have a HP Photosmart C6180. I recently changed to Windows 8 32-bit. I downloaded the HP Windows 8 drivers, but I still have problems with the printer. In Control Panel, the printer status says "error".  I think that it could possibly be a problem with the printer port settings. So, my question is, what is the right configuration of the port for my Photosmart C6180 using 32-bit Windows 8?

    I would greatly appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks, JoeRocket
