Academic author licence renewal

John F Hall
Does anyone out there know how to get an academic author licence renewed?  I've had two bounces for Jill Rietema and nothing from the others.

Just a check to see what I need to do.  Mail to Jill hasn't bounced, but I need to be sure.

My licence will expire again soon: please can you arrange a renewal code for me?  I'm in the middle of writing a set of tutorials and exercises for multiple response, but there's also a lot more new stuff on my new website http://surveyresearch.weebly.com/ which has just been sent off to Google for verification.
 
I'll stick to 15 for now.  Many thanks.

SPSS and the newer CPUs?

Mark A Davenport MADAVENP

All,

Has anyone had any experience running SPSS 18 and Amos on some of the newer CPUs like Intel's i5 and i7?  I have seen the archival notes about the advantages of quad-core, 4+ gigs of RAM, using a second HDD as the SPSS temp directory, etc.

I find myself running more and more trend-type analyses were I may have 1.5+ million cases (200 MB); I do a good deal of prediction modeling, bootstrapping, etc. using both SPSS and SAS.  I find my present Pentium D with 3 gigs of RAM just isn't cutting it anymore.

Comments?

Re: SPSS and the newer CPUs?

Bob Walker-2

Hi Mark,

 

Just went through this issue when I recently purchased an HP laptop with an i7 quad core processor + 8GB memory. With Win7 Pro 64-bit OS, SPSS really flies, because it installs as a 64-bit app, so it slices through a million records in no time. A broader issue is the absence of native 64-bit drivers and plug-ins. For example, there is no 64-bit ODBC driver to pull in MS Access files, because Microsoft hasn’t gotten around to producing it. And although I have the IE 64-bit browser, there is no 64-bit Adobe flash player, so to get the full experience you must revert to the 32-bit flavor. If your stat work is largely confined to SPSS, and your data sources are flat files or spreadsheets, you should be OK. But I’d check around first to make sure you’ll be able to import the data you need…
