Torpedo Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Social life Money Fame Pick any none. I have none and I'm pretty happy. I am assuming that most socialites would say my social life is next to nonexistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 But then you can do OpenCL/CUDA stuff. But I agree, forget the monitor -- that stuff should stay away from a music server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellylh Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 I'd recommend the conservative approach: Mac Pro 3.5GHz 6-core with 12MB of L3 cache 64GB (4x16GB) of 1866MHz DDR3 ECC 1TB PCIe-based flash storage Dual AMD FirePro D700 GPUs with 6GB of GDDR5 VRAM each Sharp 32" PN-K321 - 4K Ultra HD LED Monitor Magic Trackpad Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad - English (USA) User's Guide (English) AppleCare Protection Plan for Mac Pro - Auto-enroll You are getting a very good deal on Apple Care when you buy this computer!

blessingx Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 OS X is 14 years old today. I feel old.The iPod is 14 years old this year too. These landmark dates are tough. When they celebrated 30 years of E.T. a couple years back I cringed. Jaws is now four decades old. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt Peanuts Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) ^ I really liked my Rio Karma, especially the support for FLAC and gapless playback. I wish I still had mine Edited March 24, 2015 by Salt Peanuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappyjones123 Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Can anyone think of a reason why a laptop would see the full bandwidth I am paying for (25 mbit) and all of a sudden the desktop is only seeing 3 mbit...no updates installed recently. No changes made to any software or hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahame Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 "Up to"* Can you run speed test on multiple devices on the same network, to see if I it is the device, or the network. Think, CJ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 In case you have done so already, check your Network setting under System Pref. Also, if the desktop you're talking about is your hackintosh, it could be any number of things and probably SOL, short of re-installing everything (assuming you used the methods on tonymac).

crappyjones123 Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Speedtest on my iPhone, macbook air, Julie's macbook air and her iPhone all show 25 mbit downstream. Desktop shows ~1-3 mbit down. Does comcast see the mac address of the router only or do they see the mac address of all the devices connected to the router? My only guess is mac address throttling as they have throttled my connection twice in the past which I got them to fix after a lot of back and forth. But with that FTP speeds were low on all devices. Here its not just FTP speeds on the desktop but overall bandwidth it is seeing. FTP speeds on all other devices is normal. The desktop is not going over 3 mbit on speedtest.net for some reason. I've tried restarting everything and reseting all configs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappyjones123 Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 re-installing everything. Am trying to avoid doing this but will after my exam on Wednesday if I need to. Probably a lot easier to grab a cheap wifi card to see if the issue is on comcast's end and if they are indeed throttling the mac address of the desktop.

crappyjones123 Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Heh. It's got some 12 hard drives in it so its not being moved unless it needs to. It's a lot easier for it to stay here and me just get another wifi card. Might try setting up an hotspot through my phone and see if it pulls any better speeds.

Dusty Chalk Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 My only guess is mac address throttling ... That's what I was thinking...how'd you get them to stop? I just reset my router. (You know that thing where you can call their number and have them send a signal to reset your router? It takes several minutes to boot back up and have all the machines get their IP addresses again. Also: 12 hard drives?!?!? Great googly moogly, that's a lot of porn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No changes made to any software or hardware. Is the desktop using Windows? Is this a recent issue? When I was using a Windows XP desktop computer it always had slower speeds than the Macs, iPhone and iPad, in spite of all them being on Wifi and the desktop by wire LAN. The ISP technician blamed on the OS, and truth is that no matter what I did, the damn thing was always slower, even after making a clean install and making sure there wasn't any malwares working. If you're on Windows check that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also: 12 hard drives?!?!? Great googly moogly, that's a lot of porn. The download speeds were normal. FTP speeds only were getting throttled so reseting router didn't do anything. I called enough times to where the local head engineer gave me his cell phone number and told me to contact him directly. They said they did a whole lot of line tracing and some magical mumbo jumbo and randomly later that evening ftp speeds were the same as the speeds I was getting through my browser. A few months later the same thing happened. Went through the same nonsense. Got the same resolution. 12 hard drives are for 2 sets of redundant back ups. So really am just using 4 drives. The great hard drive crash of 2014 taught me to respect data back ups. Is the desktop using Windows? Is this a recent issue?

crappyjones123 Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 Yup it was comcast. Got another wireless card. Got normal speeds. Put back the old card and went back down to 1 mbit. Texted a video of the two speeds to the local comcast technician yesterday at 3pm. Just got home and magically speeds are back to normal with the old wireless card. Fuckers were throttling the mac address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
