  • So, I guess the way to take advantage of more than 4 GB of real memory under OSX today is for my main app to spawn one or more background apps and divide the workload and data set among all of them. Each app would be able to allocate up to 4 GB of p…

  • Quote: Originally posted by myahmac So if the guy earlier said that a 64 bit file system would boost speeds for large HD's then that is good for people with huge HD's like me. A 64-bit file system will not boost speeds for any HDs, large or…

  • Quote: Originally posted by thuh Freak It's short-sighted to say that most programming will halt at 32-bit, and merly use the extra space for memory. Technology doesn't stop. It's like a virus. What you need to undestand is that programmers …

  • For those who want some message from OSX when an app fails to launch or crashes, check out the Console.app preferences. In there you can choose to have crash logs automatically displayed.
