well all - thanks for the advice and assistance the new RAM from the reseller arrived and it reports as PC3200 in ASP. funnily enough, this RAM is different from the previous RAM in that it lacks a heatsink - even though this reseller only sells…
-
well, i pulled all the RAM and tested all six pair combinations and all were reported 2700. i spoke again with the reseller who says they will ship out new RAM. of course, they only have one make of the RAM so, as he pointed out, it will probabl…

alcimedes that is a simply fantastic suggestion - thank you. yes, a bit of a pain, but worth it. got so caught up in the frustration, that i couldn't see the forest... one question - when lower speed RAM is mixed in with higher speed RAM, …

thanks for the replies. my reseller claims that the RAM HAS to be running at PC3200 or the machine wouldn't even boot. they say that ASP and AHT are both wrong. they also say that this is a function of Panther and happens with all 1 GB DIMMs un…

thanks for all the replies. yes, i am really curious about what the Firewire PHY is, how it operates, and - most specifically - what is the speed of its connection to the southbridge. i get that the K2 is connected to the PCI X bridge via HT. …

Tiger yes, PCs dominate Macs on the Logic PlatinumVerb test. but this is actually not due to inferior hardware so much as it is due to almost non-existent dual processor optimization in Logic. on my dual 1.25, with some trickery to make Logic…
-
well, i can't actually confirm these are true AU plugs because i can't find them in either library location that LowB referenced above. so while logic calls them AU plugs, i'm not sure what they are.
-
ok i did a little testing with AU plugs (logic 5.4 ships with some AU plugs - or at least they appear in the logic plug-in menu under Audio Units). there is no improvement in CPU distribution using the AU plugs in Logic. effectively still max…
-
giant cool. thanks. so any idea what is responsible for the improved performance of some logic plugs on OS X? cause the improvement can be dramatic, but it ain't from improved dual support.
-
LowB yeah, i have no idea if an AU plug HAS to be distributed by the OS, or if it could be restricted by the software to one processor or the other - like the logic plugs are now. any ideas?
-
LowB i don't see any indication of any Logic plug-in in either location. that's why i'm not sure they are actually AU plugs. or if they are, they are definitely restricted to logic only. i can't even find them anywhere to try and move them to a…
-
LowB not a bad idea - perhaps this is it? still, i'm just not sure why some plugs would show DSP performance improvement and others wouldn't. and i'm not sure that the Logic plugs are actually audio units - they certainly aren't available…
-
Amorph thanks for the explanation. i've been asking all over in hopes of getting just that. now i can only hope the Logic code won't need a full re-write to thread properly. also gotta hope that apple sticks with duals when they start with the…
-
giant i ran a quick test tonight and was able to achieve the following Logic peformance on X using 5.3 - same settings you posted - on my dual 1.25. without trickery i got 27 PlatinumVerbs. WITH trickery, i got 45 PlatinumVerbs and 1 soft s…
-
giant i'll get to it as soon as i can - i've got visitors and work piled up. but i will match the specs and have a go at it. especially now that i've learned a trick which should allow me to max the PVs on both processors of a dual. it's not…
-
ok but is pc2700 supposed to be listed as pc133? that's what's in (or supposed to be in) my dual 1.25. it would seem to me that PC2700 ram would be listed as pc167 and then each stick would be labelled DDR. i mean, if PC2700 is pc133 - just …
-
G-News i did, but the 'memory overview' doesn't list the speed of the ram. just that it is ddr. is there somewhere else i can look in X?
-
thanks all that's what i thought. just wanted to make sure. cheers
-
Akac so, when you say it is pc133/167 - are they the same thing? i'd expect the ram in my dual 867 to be labelled as pc133 (and it is), but the ram in the dual 1.25 to be labelled pc167 since it has a 167 mhz bus. is that right? or is all …
-
giant yes, i ran them all myself on all three systems under BOTH OS 9 and X.2 - same song across the board. i used the apple sound manager/built in audio controller on all three computers, so that the testing could be consistent between the …
