Hardware :: How To Increase Airport HDD Performance

Sep 16, 2009

I currently have a D-link DIR-655. To begin with, most of the time, my Macbook Pro won't pick up the external HD that I have connected to the router because the Dlink SharePoint software is terrible. Secondly, when it does work, the performance is terrible. I'd say it is probably worse than half the speed of plugging the drive directly into the MBP.

Now I realize there will be a performance degradation when attaching an external HD to the ABSE, but my question is, how much are we talking? A percentage terms (rough estimate is fine) would be the best.

Mac Pro :: Adding Ram To A 2.8 - Will Performance Increase

Apr 28, 2009

I have the stock 2x1 and just ordered matched 4x2gb for a total of 10gb.

Now, I probably won't be needing 10gb for my audio work, so my question is, should I leave the stock ram out for the added benefit of the quad channel ram thingie? Because, according to this report, the 10gb config gives 6.8 throughput vs the 6.5 of the 4x2gb! I thought 4 or 8 slots filled should be faster? What gives??

MacBook Pro :: Will I See A Serious Performance Increase From SSD?

Apr 15, 2010

I just ordered the 2.4GHz i5 15" (with high-res glossy screen) and was wondering whether it was worth it to spend the $225 and buy an Intel X25-M 80GB SSD.Will the performance be that noticeable (for the money)?

Any other suggestions of SSDs near or under $200 would be nice.

I just got a MBA and was wondering what I could do to increase its performance? (without changing hardware such as getting a Runcore SSD)

It's a secondary computer and only plan on using it for writing, browsing the web, and itunes music.

Are there any programs I should install/delete?

IMac :: How Much Performance Increase - Can I Expect By Going From 4 GB Ram To 8 GB Ram

Feb 18, 2010

I am going to change my iMac's Memory from 4 GB to 8 GB. I have the March 2009 version of the iMac. 3.06 Ghz, ATI Video 4850, and so on. I would like to know in everyone's opinion how much of a performance gain I could get?

This is the software that I use that may be memory dependent, PhotoShop CS, Final Cut Express 4.0, Other Video Editing software, I also use Handbrake to convert my presently owned DVD's into a iphone format, would that convert any faster or is that only a processor factor

Mac Pro :: Raid 0 Setup To Increase Performance

Mar 1, 2010

Setting up raid 0 for my mac pro 3,1. Right now I have the stock 320GB drive that I use with Mac OS X, and an additional 500GB drive running Win XP through Bootcamp. I read on apple's site that you could stripe multiple drives to create a raid 0 to increase performance on the Mac Pro w/o the raid controller card. So my question is how do I do that? I'm in the process of picking a new 2TB drive to set up the raid with the 320GB OS drive. Since the 500GB one is dedicated for XP I don't think I could include it in the raid right?

MacBook Pro :: 3.06Ghz C2d Will Increase Performance?

Jun 15, 2010

So I got an iPad and have been thinking more and more that I don't need the portability of the MBP anymore. Truth is I have not really used the Macbook as a laptop in months. My usage is primarily Internet, word processing, and photography so I really think I can benefit from the added screen size and potentially power of a 27 inch iMac. So my question is:

1) do you think the latest 3.06GHz C2D will be a performance increase from my current MBP for Aperture 3 or should I just spend the extra for the 2.66 i5?

Intel Mac :: RAM Extension Possible And Will It Increase Performance

Mar 19, 2012

I have an Intel-based iMac 9.1 bought three years ago. Originally it had 2GB RAM, which I soon expanded to 4 GB.I'm currently running Snow Leopard, and I'm considering an upgrade to Mountain Lion. However, I fear this upgrade would be too much for my Mac to run smoothly.I wonder if I could add another 4 GB RAM, and more important, if I would experience any sensible improvement in performance.  I have read that sometimes more RAM is useless because your computer simply can't use it completely, so would it be useful in my case?

Info:
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.1)

MacBook Pro :: Wipe Hard Drive To Increase Performance?

Jan 12, 2011

Wirelessly posted (Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 4_2_1 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/533.17.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0.2 Mobile/8C148a Safari/6533.18.5)

I apologize as I suspect this post would be better placed in a Mac os x forum instead. When I had a PC, I would periodically (once a year) wipe the hard drive and reinstall everything. I found this helped to have the computer run quicker, I assumed by cleaning the registry out.

Obviously my Mac runs a number of maintenance protocols that help to mitigate this. Regardless, is there any benefit to a wipe and a reinstall from time capsule, or would the results be effectively the same?

IMac :: Replacement HD - Performance Increase With Extra Capacity?

Apr 21, 2010

I'm considering replacing the 640 gb Hitachi HDT721064SLA360 in my 24" iMac with a Samsung Spinpoint F3EG HD203WI 2TB drive. I'm just wondering if anyone can tell me whether I will see any performance increases along with the extra capacity. The Hitachi is a 7200rpm drive, while the Sammy is 5400rpm, but the Hitachi has only a 16mb buffer and the Sammy sports a 32mb. Would the Samsung be faster than the Hitachi or would it suffer because of the lower rotational speed?

Hardware :: Airport Express Slowing Performance?

Apr 25, 2010

I have had an Airport Express N and over the past few weeks the performance has substantially degraded. A few months ago I stared doing a lot of streaming via my Wii for Netflix.

I am still able to connect with my laptop but the performance is very slow. The streaming for Netflix movies doesn't work because it just sits there trying to load.

I've reset the modem/airport without any improvement. Do they just wear out after lots of data transfer?

Software :: Airport Scanning - Performance Interrupt

Dec 10, 2008

The performance through the VPN is badly affected by the Airport scanning regularly; often the VPN hangs.

I have deleted the unnecessary wireless networks listed in the Advanced button under Network Preferences. However, the problem persists.

Can you advise how to either stop the scanning or stop it interfering with Internet connection?

OS X :: Airport Card Performance - Plugged In Vs. Running On Battery?

Feb 11, 2010

I was running some networking performance tests the other day for some research project. Essentially I have 7 computers on a LAN that is not connected to the Internet - all computers are connecting wirelessly. I have one computer function as a server and it multicasts pings to the other 6 computers at a constant rate (e.g. sends a packet every 2 seconds).I noticed some odd behavior - 4 computers received the packets in about the right time intervals (every 2 seconds), but 2 would get packets at intervals of roughly .92 seconds and 1.12 seconds consistently. I realized that these 2 computers were running on battery and not plugged in. Plugging in all computers got all the computers receiving packets at the same time.

PowerPC :: Slow Performance On Home WiFi With AirPort Extreme

Nov 24, 2007

PowerBook G4, 1.5ghz, 2gb ram, 80gb HD, Superdrive. It shows I have the AirPort Extreme card installed. Problem, I get poor (slow performance on my home wifi) and in some areas I get no signal or drop the signal. On my PC laptops I get good signal and fairly good speed. Using a Linksys wirless 2.4ghz wireless G router. Could my wireless card need replacing? If I get a wireless N router will the airport extreme card pull the N?

Hardware :: Adding Airport Express Destroys Network Performance?

Nov 27, 2009

So I just got a new airport extreme and express (both draft n) with the hopes of redoing the wifi in my house. We previously had two modems on either side of the house and separate networks coming off them and I wanted to get rid of one of the modems and just extend the wifi from the other one.

So I set up the Extreme as the main base on the far side of the house and set up the Express to extend. If I stand in the kitchen with the Express off and am just running off the Extreme, the performance is good. But adding the express, even in the kitchen itself, suddenly drops the performance of the network to an unusable speed. Why? I've been moving it around all day: closer to the Extreme, farther from the Extreme. Nothing seems to hit it. Granted the kitchen is an annoying room with lots of metal and phones and interference, but I simply don't understand why adding the Express should mean a *decrease* in speeds.

Also, interstingly, this seems to mostly affect the download speeds and upload will stay about the same. Not sure why that happens.

My ultimate goal is to be able to add another express (one that I had, with b/g) to the network so that I can get internet to a Slingbox in the bedroom.

Hardware :: Airport Card Performance - Signal Strength Vary

Jul 6, 2009

I have a MacBook, with OSX 10.4.11. It uses an AirPort Extreme (0x168C, 0x86) and it connects to a Linksys router which is attached to my cable modem in the basement. Approx. 4 days ago I started noticing that the signal strength would vary, and then drop off all together. I have reconfigured my router, downloaded the new firmware for it, and been online chatting with Linksys techs all day. We have had no problems for months with this router, or with signal strength. My wife brought her MacBookPro home this evening to see if her machine would connect to our wireless network. Fired it up and no problem. Her machine, using the same airport card in it, had no problem with signal strength.

Mac Pro :: USB RAM Increase?

Aug 23, 2008

I have heard that it is possible to increase a mac's or any computers ram by adding a high capacity USB memory drive to a open port. With special software the OS would write large infrequently used files to the stick and keep the most frequently used ones in the systems on board ram for greater speed.

PowerPC :: To Increase RAM

Dec 27, 2008

I have a PowerPC G4 466 Mhz which has three "PC133" thingies in it, one 128 MB and two 256 MB, totalling 640 MB.

I want to change those to one, two or three 512 MB cards instead, but the manual says something about there being certain restrictions for 512 cards. Translated from Swedish:"If you install DIMM-modules of 512 MB they must have 256 Mb-units". What does that mean exactly and how do I check that they in fact have "256 Mb-units"?

I have played around with Calibration but I still cannot change the brightness of the screen. I have searched around for some solutions but all I have found is brightness controls which turn down the brightness but do not allow you to adjust the brightness up

MacBook Pro :: Can I Increase The Ram?

Jul 29, 2010

I have a 2007 MacBook Pro 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2 GB of Ram (1x1) and recently upgraded the operating system to 10.5.8.

The problem is that the computer has slowed down considerably especially since I also installed CS5.

I'm thinkin that it is a ram problem and need to upgrade but through my research it states that my computer won't take anymore ram which is unbelievable. Can I install more ram or do something else to make it faster?
