Windows on Mac

I use VMWare Fusion on mind. Works perfectly as full screen or windowed. Only thing is it's buggy when I run some games on it.

Macbook vs Macbook Pro

I bought 13" 2.4ghz for the portability purpose but I'm left wanting at 15" MBP sometimes.... I do a lot of graphic design work and it goes without saying that 15" screens are much better at color calibration. Exception of that this thing handles Adobe Premier and WoW very well*don't expect to...

Apple to introduce cheaper Macs

@Kmax82 did you even read the article that was linked on the first post? They're coming out with $899 iMac this fall for students....... please read first. And lastly, still a waste in the pockets and don't speak for everyone by saying they'll donate.>< You are not the representative of...

Apple to introduce cheaper Macs

All I have to say my new $1200 build pc will blow away there $2500 Mac Pro, but you guys know that already. But couldn't this be a reason why Mac isn't playing along with the PCs? My feeling is most adapters to Mac are the college students/newly graduates... and they tend to purchase lappys for...

i7 920 D0 - Where to Buy?

I would have done that but... I went to local Central Computers in San Francisco, they have the 3845B027 batch for $324 tax*. From what I know these B batches do very well.

Why a 10" Apple iTablet Makes Sense

It won't happen until Steve dies. The man really hates tablets from some videos and articles quoting him. I don't know how long I've been waiting for a tablet to come out from Apple and not a third party vendor... All I know is I won't holding my breath for it.

What's a good CPU upgrade

2.4ghz is pretty low. You should be able to OC that sucker little more than that. I was running mind e4300 at 3.1 until it crapped out on me. I say, mess with the timings once more and if you still can't get better performance go quad core. Q6600 are getting really cheap in the FS section.

Quick help please (please!) - installing i7 CPU

You reminded of me of when I first installed an AMD processor :) Those things were very tight from tension. As long as you follow the side triangle arrow on cpu to mb it's almost guaranteed that you wont fub the pins or the processor. Glad everything went w/o a hitch.

@Trajan those reports are now a little better than 50/50 on D0 or C0. But it is becoming more favorable to order from Newegg. I'm still waiting patiently for Santa Clara's Microcenter to run out of there C0s. There's 9 left in there inventory~~ they'll have to order soon!

What mouse you use w/ your Macbook

I'm just curious if everyone uses the mighty mouse or some other form of peripheral with their macs. For me I'm not a fan of the mighty and I'm using the Bluetooth mouse 5000 from MS and use my trusty little Wacom Bamboo for design work. I hate the nipple on the Mac too slow to navigate with.

Are you saying that you're loading VM ware w/ 3gigs of memory dedicated to XP already? If you already are please void my suggestion, if not change your set up in VM. Restart your XP and shut it down, then go to settings then cpu&ram and change the configuration so that XP can draw more memory...

I definitely agree with aleckz. Unibody is not durable and they scratch easy. Unless you want to get a hard cover *which I'm using $15~ on ebay,* don't expect them to be like thinkpads or toughbook. If your using it for demanding stuff ie Adobe Creative Suite, Maya I say get the new unibody. It...

Any new MMORPGS out lately?

I'm very glad to hear that something is knocking off WoW the number 1 slot. I've always hated the 1970's graphics with psychedelic color scheme and background on WoW. Don't know what to play to my time. Been on Lineage 1 and AoC but they're not filling my needs.

POLL: X4 955 vs. Q9*50

If you're building from scratch I say PII FTW. You'll see more performance boost from DDR3 and DDR3 is cheap now. I just bought a 6gb of DDR3 1800 $80. Plus with the dragon platform, supposedly you're getting more performance increase. So why stick w/ the old guns, unless you have a 755 board?

So where's the 955?

Using my rig for Creative Suite and some moderate gaming. As of right now I'm thinking 920. I was really hoping for the 955 to shine. Btw zipzoomfly has 955 for $240. $5 less than newegg.

Ben and Jerry's free cone day Apr 21

Awesome deal but went to Ben & Jerry's in SF and found the line running around the block... would have been 30min wait just for a free scoop. It became a missed opportunity to try Berry Berry Exceptional. I guess I should have expected that especially when it was 85 degrees today.

So where's the 955?

I say 3.8~3.9 for most and 4ghz if your a lucky few. Don't even compare to 4.2ghz that was done w/ dry ice..... even up to 4.8, but its no good for 24/7 use. My wondering is whether I should be upgrading to i7 920 or PII 955. I wanna see to side by side comparison OCed.
