  • Quote: Originally posted by CheapFrag The GT has 2 DVI outputs but only one is a dual-link DVI (ie. actually uses all the pins on the DVI connector). therefore the GT can only support a single 30" screen and another regular screen (ie. 23" and b…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Trans9B my roommate gave me a 64mb geforce 3 gts agp video card. i'd love to use it. but it came out of a PC, i'm using an AGP sawtooth g4. is there any way i can get this card to work? i've heard of flashing, but i…
  • Go to xlr8yourmac and search for LG and firewire in the 'drive database'. The LG drive you mention has been tested and is compatible with OS X 10.3, but dual layer recorders state that 10.2 is required for dual layer recording so you may need to…
  • Quote: To touch again on my last post I think if they could update the pro line more frequently rather than waiting, and watching technology pass by sometimes I think the platform would look more attractive to prospective buyers. I agree with th…
  • Hello I don't know who posted this link originally, but apecode generally has more info available than Apple's website. TNT are great at updating the info, once the package has been transferred to them...
  • By the way, I assume you are connecting the graphics card to the LCD using the ADC connection?
  • I don't know why this occurs but a reasonable tool for overriding display settings is DisplayConfig . I think you should be able to select the aspect ratio and resolution you need with this.
  • Well, I guess it is because Apple sources OEM products from a variety of manufacturers. Apple has stated the DVD burning speeds in the PowerMac tech specs. If one person receives a G5 with double those speeds whilst someone else doesn't (an earlier …
  • I don't know how often Apple changes the pin mapping on the power supplies but I have an MDD G4 powermac power supply (which was upgraded on the noise issue) that you can have if you want to pay postage (which may be quite high). I live in Edinburgh.
  • I have had this problem with Word v.X as well. I have recently updated Word with the recent update, however before this I had to regularly trash the preferences and plist file from the library. For some reason this solved the issue and Word would st…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Existence: I've heard the codename is Little Boy. I sincerely hope that Little Boy is NOT the codename for the new iMac. I don't think a tool for entertainment/work should be in any way associated with something tha…
  • Why not scout around for a refurb or 2nd hand Dual 1.8 GHz G5? They are not going to be much different from the price of the iMac. It will be much more upgradeable, and whilst you miss ou on the screen, you have a lot more computing power to play wi…
  • I think BT should be standard. For anone who doesn't want it, Apple should include the option to BTO it off (like with the modem currently) to save some people the money. But it should really be standard. As has been pointed out, it is too che…
  • For the iMac G5 Apple quotes an FPS gain of 189% and 212% in Halo and UT2004 respectively over the 1.25 Ghz G4 iMac. (Obviously no absolute values are quoted, as they are still probably pretty poor by PC standards.) There is a paucity of informat…
  • I am quite happy with my old Canon 1240 flatbed. It is very slim. It was about £90 or so. The newer model I think is the LiDE 50 or 80 (USB2). Canon took a while to get drivers out for OS X, but they are pretty good. I usually still use it throug…
  • The fan in my Rev A 12" 867 PB comes on all the time these days. I think it is because the chip (the 7455) runs hotter than the 7457 in later models. My temp readings are similar, it idles at around 50 C and has got up to over 65 C before. I thou…
  • From the register: Quote: According the Xbit Labs story, the 1.8GHz Dothan consumes up to 31W, rather more than Banias' 24.5W, despite being fabbed at 90nm rather than 130nm. So it looks like the 970FX beats the Intel mobile processor for pow…
  • Also if you have a look at the White Paper for the G5 here , it says that the G5 is now built on the 90 nm process only. I would imagine that this means new faster PMs are just around the corner (as anticipated). It also may indicate that the G5 …
  • I always tell people to put their home directory in the RHS of the dock (from the users folder) and that whenever they feel the urge to click on the HD icon, they should click on the house icon in the dock instead. That sorts out most of the issues …
  • I like iGetter .
