  • Can individual apps address more then 2 GB RAM though? I know that this was a limitation when the G5s were released (10.2.8 ). There are a few scientific applications that could really do with this capability...

  • I guess that when asking the question 'who is the most powerful computer mogul?' it can only really be Gatesie. Still, I thought it was done reasonably well. And Alvin Hall acknowledged as often as he could that it has been Steve Jobs that has be…
  • Sorry, I meant to say the difference between the US english and international english versions. I have had a look at the developer notes and I think that the tilde key (~) is the one that is absent. Can anyone in the US confirm this?
  • OK. I was being stupid. But it isn't very intuitive to put the adjustments under movie properties. Stupid Apple.
  • I thought it was very good as well. Very evocative. I agree that the inital text maybe fades in and out a little quickly, but it kind of adds to the theme like that. I think the fades could be a little too similarly timed, it makes it a bit re…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Robster: Don't knock it though....M for Macintosh.... No, I know. And I didn't mean to sound rude. It just conjours up some bad associations (and probably not just for me). My vote goes with maintaining the simple…

  • I just noticed that Safari will not upload an image from the desktop to eBay during the listing process (I thought I had forgotten the first time). Camino has no problem.
  • I understand your point TJM and it is exactly how Apple does the business. (What they foresee they can charge to keep producing quality stuff.) And like I said, I think they may very well offer a 'super-duper' powermac which may very well cost more …
  • Quote: Originally posted by KidRed: Well I disagree on a technical level. The 970s are 1 1/2- 2 times faster then g$s at their same speeds. So a 1.0ghz 970 would crush the dual 1.42ghz G4s. I'd pay the same OR a few hundred more to get that perfor…
  • I agree with Matsu. The whole problem with current perception is the price/performance aspect. Getting a better hold in areas that Apple is actively seeking (i.e. compositing, scientific analysis and even 3D) means that they have to offer a bette…
  • Did you note how much they were? Would be quite cool to deck out a PM with 4 GB RAM just to see what it could do.
  • Quote: Originally posted by Fosty MMB: Dealram doesn't list any 1GB DDR modules for the Mac, but there may be some compatible with the Mac anyway. The only 1GB DDR modules I have seen are ECC type (will not be compatible with the Mac's unbuffer…
  • And have you seen the price? However, maybe with Micron going down to .11u (is that correct?) they will potentially get higher density modules and at a lower price.
  • I have this problem with my cybershot too. The colours are too dark using mpeg and when you adjust the colours in QT pro the frames go to pot (and it isn't even like you are doing any real editing). Changing the output NTSC/PAL doesn't work either (…
  • Try this . Not a lot of info though, and it would seem that Apple's ones are custom made. But they do look quite good and they are not too expensive. I have been looking for another UK retailer, but all I have found is MacWarehouse selling the 14…
  • I was thinking about selling mine to change to a powerbook. It has 768 MB RAM and stock stuff otherwise. I would expect to get £1000 really, possibly up to £1100. I think that £1100 is a very reasonable amount for both of you with the extra storage,…
  • Try www.adslguide.org.uk as well for reviews and speed comparisons.
  • OK, If you want some justification for General Discussion, let me ask of you guys a question. I had a look at the minibook last week and I really liked it. I currently have a DP867 with 768 MB RAM. I am about to start writing a PhD thesis howe…
