Worth the upgrade?

• Still worth the upgrade?

  Hi all

  I have the Middle 2009 13 "model MBP already upgraded to 4 GB of ram + 128 GB SSD. I just update the operating system to El Capitan yesterday.

  Given my MBP is going very slowly in opening simply different tabs firefox / chrome / safari, I think if I should still move the ram to 8 GB. I want to know if these updates would greatly increase my MBP?

  If possible, I would use this MBP for 3 years and more than buying a new brand (now I look forward to the only MBP model USD2500 come with the graphics card)

  Either way, I really need my MBP to run Photoshop (editing RAW), web + apps, tools development (coding + emulation apps).

  Thank you for your answer

  Yes, model will produce substandard results the meager 4 GB of RAM. Unfortunate signs of how 'far', we have done and what are the current needs. Finally, I have checked, a pair of sticks of 4 GB 204-pin DDR3 PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) SO-DIMM is less than $50, a truly profitable investment return. 8GB is higher you can go with this model.

• It is worth the upgrade / Pavilion dv6880se Special Edition flow

  Looking for assistance in this small matter.  Wondering what are the improvements that I can add to my laptop HP Pavilion dv6880se Special Edition influx.  I intend to use it mainly for the delivery of some programs DJ and Photoshop Elements.  I know I want to upgrade my memory. What else would you recommend and it would be worthwhile to upgrade.

  Thank you

  DigitalCajun

  Here are the specifications of your HP Pavilion dv6880se influx special edition Entertainment Notebook computer. Based on the specs of this model, there is very little that can be improved and it is unlikely you will see any performance gain. Current memory is listed as 3 GB with a maximum of 4 GB.

• Is it worth the upgrade 4th Gen extreme 6th Gen with multi-Express configuration?

  I have a 4th gen extreme and 3 airport base express (2nd generation), each set up to expand, all connected to speakers of different sizes for listening to music.

  Everything is on a floor, not a big house, 920 square feet.

  I recently updated my Comcast service to 250 extreme.  Connected by ethernet, last night and got the 275 - ish down.  Pretty amazing.

  I have actually never connect by ethernet, everything is wireless.

  I have a recent Mac in the room more far-of-router, when I do everything.  A 3rd generation Apple TV is also in the farthest room.

  I got a refurb had 6 extreme Gen this week to try to take advantage of the extreme service 250 (I know that I won't do the same ethernet - connects, but...

  I am on the fence about the 250 thing).

  Implementation of the 6th gen extreme proved to be impossible - it just would not be put in place and I kept getting "unexplained error', whether on Mac, iphone, or ipad.  All new.

  And I'm pretty good with this sorta thing.

  So I thought, forget it, I'll return it.  Probably defective.

  My question is:

  With the multi-express in place, it is useful to make the new ac-router with "n" 3 express on the network?  Or should I just keep the low extreme, 4th-gen my extreme internet service 250 etc..

  Thank you!

  If you want to quickly get wireless, the only improvement will be a direct connection to the AC on 5 GHz router which means close and staff.

  The express will get no improvement because they are Wireless-N devices... and are perfectly adapted to the existing EI Gen4.

  My question is:

  With the multi-express in place, it is useful to make the new ac-router with "n" 3 express on the network?

  The answer is no...

  Unless you can get the router AC in a place that the computer connects to the it's 5 GHz directly... which means the same room or adjoining room, perhaps.

  You need to run ethernet (or even EOP adapters are not up to 250mbps) to a location near the Mac.

• Smartphones blackBerry 4.6 to 4.7, worth the risk?

  Having finally upgraded to 4.6 a couple of months, that I managed to get this working (with the exception of having to make manual backups as normal rear blocks until out in Flexwallet databases).

  Now version 4.7 is here I wonder if its worth the upgrade again risk\hassle.  I can't find anywhere what are the differences (RIM should not publish some sort of version list?).

  So, what is the opinion of the Blackberry customer support forums?  Is it useful for some new features or bug fixes, or do I have to take the attitude "if it isn't broken don't fix"?

  Just to clarify things. It's not Blackberry forums 'customer support', but 'the support of Blackberry' community forum. This means that we are the only guests like you, but if we can, we answer questions. There are very few representatives of RIM here on the forum, and they respond on rare occasions.

  I know from reading the internet:

  • 4.7 = 4.6 + storm is supported
  • 4.6 = 4.5
    • + "BOLD" is supported
    • + able to save internal memory media files (no = no need Roxio Media Manager)
    • + Media Sync is included (instead of separately, download the iTunes sync)
  • 4.5 = 4.3 +? + very slow synchronization of events

• The upgrade of Vista Business 64 bit on a workstation used

  I recently bought a Dell Precision T5400 used with Windows Vista professional. I'm very happy with it, but I intend on a program 64 bit running on the workstation. What are my upgrade options?

  Anyway you have to clean install.

  Your options are Windows Vista 64 bit, Windows 7 64-bit or 64-bit Windows 8.

  You can use a Digital River 64-bit with Service Pack 1 setup files to a bootable media and pure install 64-bit Windows Vista Business.

  I recommend Windows 7 Professional with Service Pack 1 64-bit, but you have to pay for a license (its probably the most expensive option).

  You can also switch to Windows 8 Professional upgrade license is cheaper than that of Windows 7, but in my opinion, a lower quality product.

  I would recommend either tried and decide what you like the most and if you think that its worth the upgrade.

  Follow the instructions in install windows own A: http://philipyip.wordpress.com/dell-community-forums/

  I suggest running step 2 and 3 to A Clean installation of Windows Vista before experimenting. The guide tells you how to obtain trial versions of Windows 7 and 8 so you can evaluate them. With Vista 64 bit, you have the product key and must be able to activate using activation activation recovery backup program or phone to Microsoft.

• the upgrade of my gpu

  Hi I have a HP Compaq dc7600 (renovated) and I want to upgrade in order to play games more fluid and make fast in sony vegas. The games I would like to run is Minecraft. I can run now, but with little fps. I said there is no reason to upgrade my cpu so I wondered what graphics card should I get that is was cheap and decent. I hope someone can help. I'm sorry if this is not enough info, but I'm not good to know the specifications of the computer.

  Specifications of the PC:

  Intel Pentium D CPU 3.00 GHz Dual Core

  4 GB of Ram

  80 GB HARD drive (I have 500 GB external and plan on internal upgrading soon)

  32 bit operating system

  P.S. You probably think these features are terrible, but I've only had this pc for basic things first but know I must upgrade to do more.

  Thank you for the additional information.

  This is the "technical reference Guide" to the computer.  It has all the features you need to know.  He made them all; including the SFF.

  There is a PCI Express x 16 and aPCI Express x 1 slot.  However, the main problem you'll have is the power supply unit (PSU) is only 240W (P. 19).  Most of the newer cards that will be all good for games of any kind requires at least 350W.  I don't think you'll find one that will fit in the case.

  Personally, I don't think it's worth the money to upgrade the computer.  That's more than 9 years.  I don't want you to spend money that will not improve performance.

• Engravers Blu - ray Samsung SE - 506 Monte is more after the upgrade of the El Capitan

  Hi all

  MBP, in early 2008, El Capitan 10.11.2...

  My Samsung Portable Blu - ray writer, SE-506CB/RSBD Monte is more after I upgraded to El Capitan, last week.  The drive itself is only a few months old.

  The problem is not the USB ports, like other devices work fine with all the USB ports on my MBP.

  Note that I'm NOT trying to read or write a Blu - ray disc.  I try only to play audio CDs, I've done successfully before the upgrade to El Capitan.

  Someone had this problem?

  Thank you...

  For what it's worth, I have this problem as well.  The drive tray would not eject even with a single cable, so I switched to another.  I could then open the drawer (seems odd for me) but the disc would not rise.  Here's the info from the console log that indicates that the operating system is getting bad feedback from the pilot saying that the disk is defective.  This same drive/cable/disc work very well on my MacBook Air 10.10.5 and had worked perfectly well with this MBP even before the service (and "free" upgrade to EC by Apple).

• Preparation of the upgrade of the operating system

  I'm about to spend DV4-1028us my wife from Vista to Windows 7. I would have preferred a upgrade to a clean install so I would'nt have to re - install all the app given the number of applications installed and uninstalled during the years, there is probably plenty of leftovers "junk" on the disk, so I thought of running a recovery of the D: partition to get a Vista installation cleaning before moving to Win 7.  Would it be worth the effort, or should I just go ahead and install Win 7 without the recovery?

  I wouldn't take any of the updates. Just run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor and it will tell you everything that need to be updated or uninstalled before upgrading to Win 7.

• The upgrade of Presario SR1210NX

  I was looking around for my computer processors, but I don't know exactly how high I can go. I got a Pentium 4 processor. Here are the specs:
  SSpec number: SL6WK. Processor speed: 3 GHz. speed of the Bus: 800 MHz.
  Bus/Core Ratio: 15. L2 Cache size: 512 KB. L2 Memory Cache speed: 3 GHz
  Type of packaging: 478 pins. Manufacturing technology: 0.13 micron. Strengthening base: D1.
  CPUID string: 0F29h. thermal design power: 81.9W.
  Thermal specifications: 70 ° C.

  Can someone tell me if this would completely melt my motherboard, or would I just need to upgrade my fans as well?

  Here is your card to motherboard:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00063244

  This processor is not supported by this Council.

  According to specifications, your Board of Directors is not supported FSB 800 Mhz to 3 Ghz clock speed.

  You need a Pentium 4 Northwood or Willamette (not Prescott)

  The front side bus (FSB) should be 400 or 533 MHz

  The clock speed may not exceed 2.8 Ghz.

  Out of curiosity, do you know what processor you currently have?  You can be near the maximum processor supported, which means that no additional upgrades are worth the money or even possible.  However, there could be other things you can do to give it a bit of a kick of thumb...

• Performance index Windows for RAM has decreased after the upgrade to 64 - bit

  Hello
  I just upgraded to windows 7 ultimate 32-bit sp1 [B] [/ b] to windows 7 ultimate sp1 [B] 64-bit [/ b] as 32 bits is just using 3.4 GB out of my 4 GB of memory available.
  In my 32 bit OS, windows experience index for RAM was 7.1 to 7.9, but after upgrade 64-bit, it came down to 5.9 7.9. What could wrong here? All the other sides are almost the same.
  I enclose the screenshots of the same thing.

  Remember that the IFE is not particularly precise, so the digits must be dealt with without tightening. Any comparative analysis rarely also follows the real world experience that depends on how you use the computer. Used WEI as a general comparison only.

  4 GB is a lot a quantity limit if 64 bit is better that 32-bit so the 1st question is you would never beyond RAM? 2nd you never run 64-bit software? If the answer is Yes to one then definitely stick with 64-bit.

  Even with the No., it's always a limit case will be the computer actually be faster on 32-bit so is it worth the hassle in evolution.

• The upgrade of my desktop pc from HP a1540n for photo editing

  Hi all

  I am currently running Win XP SP2 on desktop HP a1540n; System specs are here:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00679533

  After you have maxed out my RAM (4x1Go), the system has worked well for me for about 4 years.  However, I'll buy a new 36 MP digital camera and need to upgrade the operating system to a minimum (for Vista or Windows 7) to take over some of s/w that I use for photo editing. At the same time, I am considering a few hardware upgrades as well to improve the speed of the system (I work with large files).

  I'm looking for options in order to make the system work and, if $ allow to improve performance.  I would like some advice on whether if it is worth upgrading the hardware or just bite the bullet and withdraw from the newer system for somethng.

  Option 1: OS upgrade only, pref for Win 7; cost: ~ $140

  Option 2: upgrade MB (with processor), optionally add a video card. upgrade cost:?

  Option 3: new system; cost: ~ $1000.

  Option 2 makes any sense?  So I hate to waste the old h/w, I'm not sure whether this option is profitable.  Can the remaining material (power supply, etc.) support and are working properly with the motherboard more recent or other improvements will be necessary as well (in addition to the OS)?  I will be attaching multiple drives (some new, some existing); a new MB give me USB3 ability, or is it a separate addon?

  All advice/recommendations would be appreciated...

  -Rob

  Rob, welcome to the forum.

  This is one of the most difficult situations to address.  The upgrade can be a good option if the original components are even more recent.  However, a computer that is 6 years old becomes a dinosaur.  As a result, purchase new may be a much better option.  If you can afford the $1,000, I think you would advance money.

• Advice on the upgrade to ESXI 4.1.0 to 6

  I have ESXI 4.1.0 260247 that worked for about 5 years now as a champion.  My hard drives are becoming old and I need to upgrade my storage (currently raid 2 x 1 TB 1, need 2 TB of usable space) so I am looking to update my ESXI at the same time.  I'm a show making, software development, my needs are quite simple.  I have machines virtual linux for Jenkins, LAMP, nginx, svn, mysql and I have Windows VMs for Jenkins, MSSQL, versions of office to install testing.  The most great thing miss me with ESXI 4 is I would go an automatic weekly backups of my VM to my QNAP NAS.

  Essentials would be worth the money? I'm Canadian, so please consider I paid 32% more after the exchange of currencies.

  I'm not an experienced administrator, ESXI 4 was free for me problem since day 1.  If I replace all readers at the same time, would be a good upgrade path:

  1 export all as OVF of ESXI4 VMS

  2 replace the discs in Server

  3. installation of 6

  4 import OVF VM in ESXI 6

  Thanks in advance for the entry.

  I would backup all virtual machines to external storage, possible using https://www.veeam.com/virtual-machine-backup-solution-free.html

  Update as needed. You will not be able to skip from 4.1 to 6.0. so a reinstall would be my preferred option.

  Restore VMs return. Note that if you use free ESXi then you probably need to restore files on networked storage and copy them back to the store to host data because free ESXI does not include an API for veeam to restore. https://forums.Veeam.com/VMware-vSphere-F24/question-about-free-ESXi-5-and-restore-job-failed-error-t13345.html

  Essentials is really cheap for what you get. You will be able to use the above correctly, because you then will licenses for the API. You probably want 2-3 hosts so that the benefits of vCenter you get with the license are worth. It is not really worth it for a single host unless you need these API etc.

• Considering the upgrade to PS Elements to full blown CS 4

  Hello

  I'm a Web designer who is currently using Photoshop Elements. I didn't print the drawing, and I don't usually create graphics from scratch (I have an asscoaite that makes my work, when I need customstuff). What I do is purchase graphic StockXpert, then apply effects, filters, etc in PS Elements, if necessary, and then reisze, harvest, etc..

  I am considering the upgrade to full 4 CS because of the offer of upgrade from $299 for all owners of items. I donwloaded the trial version and there are so many new things, I don't know where to start.

  Based on the information that I gave to my work, what other features in CS 4 would probably use in my daily work? I know everyone must make their own decisions, but I try just caliber if the characteristics justifying the upgrade for me.

  Thanks a lot for any advice or advice you can give.

  Michael

  Michael,

  Unless it has been added in the PSE 8, single layer masks would be worth the $. There is also the potential for greater automation of repetitive tasks, beyond what can be easily done in PSE.

  You will have a little problem with the transition. With the price of the LARGE offer of upgrade, I would add a copy of Adobe Classroom in a Book for Photoshop CS4, just to give you a quick "the lay of the land" and get the updated terms in your mind, show what are the new "powers". Only, you will need probably to find locations and then getting your feet wet. There are a lot of very valuable resources, but you know already much of it - you just need to know where it will be in PS, and will help the ICVA with who.

  If I do not already have two licenses for PS, I run out, buying PSE 8 and take advantage of the upgrade in a blink of an eye. I forgot the exact cost, but I think I paid a lot more than that, with an upgrade competitive of Aldus PhotoStyler 2.5 PS and has been for decades. My recommendation - do it!

  Good luck
