  • Well... if it doesn't work in OS X or XP (using BootCamp)... sounds like a hardware issue.

  • In order to take advantage of dual channel memory in the MacBook, both slots must be filled with the same capacity memory modules.

  • There are tons of threads here on the heat issue... try to do a search or just scan the "Current Hardware" forum... This seems to be the main one... MacBook Overheat Concerns I'm fairly sure the brightness of the display shouldn't impac…

  • Yeah... in general... I try to stay away from Symantec programs for a PC as well... They're actually WORSE on a PC than a Mac because of all the registry crap. Their applications tentacles (and I said "tentacles") bury themselves in just about ever…

  • I really don't use XP on my MacBook for anything. I pretty much just wanted to try out BootCamp "because I could".... and just in case something should come up where I need to use XP. Since I really don't use it much... I would imagine if I format…

  • ... bump Anyone? or maybe a utility other than Ghost that will backup the entire drive (preserving the BootCamp loader and both the XP and OS X partitions). Thanks again!

  • If you're just going to use it for browsing and light word processing... an iBook should be fine. I was using an 800MHz G4 iBook until very recently. It did all of that fine. I just wanted a new updated machine... but I still do all the same stuf…

  • I have to admit... I installed BootCamp and XP on my MacBook thinking it would be handy to have XP on hand if I wanted it (I have other PC notebooks... and a PC desktop... but my MacBook is what I usually have around)... as it turns out, the only th…

  • It's just a little easier to do with one hand. No biggie... but since it's there... nothing wrong with using it.

  • Although... this does go to show that heat in notebooks isn't limited to the MacBooks/Pros

  • The 17" MacBook Pros have the newer driver. It's possible that newer 15" Pros may have it... but I haven't heard. 10.4.7 will update anyone left behind.

  • Enjoy... http://dl.qj.net/Secondary-Trackpad-...8058/catid/332 The new driver will be included with 10.4.7 in "a few days"... but until then... this is the actual driver that will be included.
    in Macbook Right-Click on a MBP Comment by joey June 2006
  • Mine idles at 1.5GHz as well. Is there a reason it doesn't throttle back way lower than that? I have XP machines that will drop down to 500MHz when idle. Is there that much going on under the hood when it's idle that it needs to be running at tha…

  • To elaborate.... "slipstreaming" is when you take an existing disk image... add files to it... and create a new image. In this case, you'll download the complete XP SP2 update from Microsoft... Download XP SP2 Here Now Google "slipstreaming". …

  • The weight of the MacBook really doesn't bother me.. .and that's coming from a 12" iBook. I really like the solid feel. The only way you're going to know "why" it weighs what it does is to take it apart and start weighing parts or get ahold of a…
    in Why is the MacBook so heavy? Comment by joey June 2006
  • I don't think anyone is saying that there is anything great about integrated graphics at this point... just that what is being used in the new MacBooks is fine for many people... Integrated graphics is still the standard in entry level PC notebooks …
    in MacBook integrated graphics? Comment by joey June 2006
  • Well... if you like the 17" and aren't looking for something like a 12" version... you're probably okay. Apple pretty much just released the thing. If anything, they may bump the speed up between now and then... but I'd imagine that would be about…
