Ok, here are my questions about the new MacBooks 1) How is the keyboard? 1a) Does the keyboard flip up, or is it "integrated" into the top? 2) Where are the speakers? 3) Where are the RAM slots? 4) How bad is the glare off the display? …

Quote: Originally posted by McHuman I've had a sony TR-series notebook for the last few years that also has flat keys. I love the keyboard on it, and also the XBRITE glossy screen. The fact that the new MacBook has those two things, plus running …

[snarky, but useful] Yeah, you could go to macsales.com and spend $118 per 1GB for rebranded RAM, or you could just go to Newegg and get them for $89. But hey, if you want to perpetuate the myth that "macs use special/different RAM", while spen…

Quote: Originally posted by emig647 I'm not sure what work u do... but think about 3d modelers and engineers. Other things need to be accessed like the graphics card, the sound card, the ram, not just the cpu... yes the cpu may be 20% slower, but…

Just to be clear for you and others, you can't upgrade the VRAM to 256MB, you can only CTO 256MB. Quote: Originally posted by Zenga Man I didn't know that you could upgrade your graphics cards to 256mb.. THAT'S AWESOME!!! and also a 500 mb hdd…

I personally think the 20" iMac Core Duo is a REALLY compelling machine. I bought one, and I'm SUPER cheap. I've been a life-long (well, since about 5) Apple/Mac user, but this is actually the first Mac I've felt the need to buy. I've always had …

Quote: Originally posted by icibaqu how is a 0.16 ghz upgrade worth $300? that's the same price as doubling the iMac HD from 250 to 500 GB. Considering the 2.16GHz costs Apple $214 MORE than the 2.0GHz, I don't think the $300 upgrade price i…

Quote: Originally posted by Splinemodel I had that a few years ago, and there was absolutely ZERO background check. I just bought it, and done. As for the discount, it seems to vary. It used to just be 20% across the board. But now there se…

keep in mind that with the student ADC membership, the hardware discount won't be available until after your enrollment (and eligabilty) are confirmed. They DO take this seriously, and you generally need a current transcript signed and.or sealed by…

socrates, my honest apologies. In re-reading my own post, it did come across as b1tchy, and I _really_ didn't mean that. It's just the kind of thing where we can all make judgement calls, sway you one way or the other, and then if you're not ha…

Quote: Originally posted by MontyPavement Can anyone recommend a good quality HD to act as a second HD for my dual 2.7 Powermac? I'm looking at either a 250gb or 500gb one - are there any models that are better than others in the Powermac? …

What about booting into OS X, hooking up an external firewire drive, and using GPT to partition it, using the 'windows' flag. Then dumping a good windows install on it, and trying to boot from it using option?

absolutely not possible. sorry. different socket, different chipsets, different firmware/efi, different signaling voltages, different bus, different ram, different everything. would be nice though...

I really don't want this to sound rude, but anyone here can post some opinion...but that's pretty worthless. If the question is about 7200 vs. 5400 considering size tradeoffs, google for some benchmarks and reviews (there are quite a few). Once yo…
