It comes down to something pretty basic... which few people seem to understand... get what will suit your needs. Integrated graphics... especially the newest breed is absolutely and completely (if they don't mean the same.. but I'm making a point) …

Personally, I find the offshore call centers insulting. I don't blame the workers there. They're doing their job exactly as their trained to do. What I don't like is the attempt to fool customers into believing that the call is being handled in …

I know how you feel. I very much doubt any damage has been done. What I was more afraid of was damaging something trying to put that RAM in there... sheesh!!! I never did get mine to "click"... but I seem to be running okay. If I should start to…

I've never had my MacBook get unbearably hot. It does get toasty... and if you're wearing shorts or something... you will probably break out in a sweat. I have a pretty high tolerance for heat though... what might be bearable for me... might not b…

... although... as a general rule... it's always a good idea to back up your data when working with partitions. You "should" be fine using BootCamp to restore your system to it's original state... but it's always better to be safe than sorry.

This is answered in Apple's BootCamp FAQ... http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303572 See "Why is the time different between Mac OS X and Windows XP on my computer?" I don't see any specific reason why your XP should lock up whe…

Actually.. you don't "need" two sticks of memory that are the same size... but you will take a graphics performance hit if you don't... and on a system that is using decent, but not great graphics technology, you would want the advantage of having y…

I think someone responded in your other post. Return it... simple as that. If your temp is going that high and you are experiencing shutdowns and your fan isn't going on, there is clearly a problem. Lets not resort to saying "I cant' believe Ap…

Plus... a faster drive will read your data faster... so it's that much less time it needs to run at full speed... so depending on how much disk access you have... you may actually use less power.

The processor here isn't really an issue... there's a nominal difference between 1.8GHz and 2.0GHz (Ah... 200MHz is a nominal difference... my first computer was 4MHz). The GPU (graphics processor) is by far the major difference.

Basically... there isn't really anything to "like" or "dislike" about BootCamp... It just tells your system which OS to start up... pretty basic. Windows runs just as well on a MacBook as it does on a comparably equipped PC. There is the issue of …

I don't think they dropped prices on PowerBooks or iBooks either before the new MacBooks and MacBook Pros came out.

Was that against the Athlon 64 FX or the Dual Core x2? I know AMD has some new stuff around the corner as well... but I haven't really been following the chip wars lately... I've just sunk way too much $$ into stuff I haven't needed over the past …

I'm curious what 64 bit route they'll go. AMD still beats the pants off Intel with desktop processors. Apple may be waiting for Intel's next 64 bit desktop processor.

I know on the PC side (under windows), some WiFi manufacturers provide utilities to adjust the power to the card (in small increments and within a small range). I'd imagine this would be helpful for ad-hoc set ups between machines, but it's not lik…

Windows takes a long time to find files because they're not indexed like they are in Spotlight. OS X basically creates a realtime table of all of it's files. When you need to find something, it takes seconds to locate because you're simply searchi…

Fortunately... there don't seem to be too many people out there with the plastic still on... but at least it's easy enough to fix. I'm guessing the cases are covered in plastic to protect them when the insides of the notebooks are installed. When …

You're going to install and run XP only to run a streaming quote utility? I would imagine that would mean you would want it running all the time. If that's the case... you're looking at Parallels. If that's the only thing you plan to use though, …

I agree completely... the mismatched memory sizes primarily affect graphics performance. Quartz Extreme(the OS X graphics interface engine) is MUCH more GPU intensive than XP. If you think back, Apple has always had fairly powerful GPUs in their m…

I agree regarding the "Think Different" campaign. I may not have been clear. I simply meant the "Think Different" campaign no longer applies... I didn't mean to imply that it could be taken as an insult. To be honest... I can see how their curren…
