  • Newegg is a very reliable company, I have used Kingston ValueRam and Rosewill memory in my mini, both worked fine. With current memory prices, go with the 1gb stick. alliancep.s.i, is the faster 80gb hard drive you refer to an external drive?

  • Have you watched the entire Keynote address? I know it is over an hour long but I think watching it will help you make a decision. http://stream.apple.akadns.net/ When I first heard about the transition I was uncertain about buying any of the …
  • Quote: Originally posted by mynameis about a month ago I figure it anyone could lead the way to a different keyboard layout, it would be Apple. That would be interesting to see what would happen.
  • Quote: Originally posted by Jared Does anyone know how much memory Apple puts in their display models? It might depend on the store, the one I used there had 512mb.
  • Quote: Originally posted by slughead Doesn't anyone take trigonometry anymore? Everybody takes it, no one remembers... If you want a simple formula for screen surface area: S: Diagonal Screen Size R: Aspect Ratio (R * S^2) / (R^2 +…
  • your calculations are a bit off. Like, "14 wide 11.06 x 8.57 = 94.78" 11.06/8.57 = 1.29, the ratio of width to height should be 1.6 for a widescreen. A widescreen is going to have less surface area than a regular aspect of the same size. …
  • Quote: Originally posted by curiousuburb One of the limiting factors in the mini may actually be heat. Overclockers and modders are risking pushing beyond the fan's capability to cool. I wouldn't recommend an internal 7200 for that reason. …
  • Quote: Originally posted by hmurchison I think it has more to do with the fact that mini are still hard to find in some areas. Why advertise what people cannot just run in and buy. I agree, I wouldn't be surprised if we started seeing ads soo…
  • Have you thought about buying a 20in iMac and a 12in iBook instead, it would only be about $100USD more than a 12in SuperDrive PB with a 20in Cinema Display?
  • Quote: Originally posted by DoTheEvolution LCDs are used in schools everywhere. All the Apples at my school that I have seen are G4 iMacs. I don't think Apple has any reason to drop the price of the iMac since they are selling pretty well at …
  • Quote: Originally posted by DHagan4755 Could Apple lower the price of the iMac G5 to the eMac's price point? Then what would fill the gap where the iMac used to be?
  • Quote: Originally posted by a_greer You still fail to answer my main point: who spends $1500+ on a display for a ~$500 computer? I don't see anything wrong with that, but I don't know anyone that has it.
  • That must be my problem, I am running my mac mini with a 20in display at 1600x1200, mostly it is fine but it sometimes gets a little choppy. I am glad it just isn't me.
  • Quote: Originally posted by ipodandimac well you could jsut buy d-link adapter. Check out this: http://www.macworld.com/weblogs/edit...5/01/miniopen/ It shows the mini being taken apart. It shows the BT adapter as just screwed on and pl…
  • $400 after rebate for a 19in Viewsonic, silver/black so it kind of matches the mini...kind of. Also check Dell's small business store, lots of very good LCD on sale right now. Make sure it is DVI though.
  • Quote: Originally posted by a_greer think of walkmans, people replace walkmans every 3 years on average so the ipod reup cycle is about to begin Do you really think people are just going to constantly need large capacity players? Why would pe…
  • I would think the demand for iPod is going to eventually go down, you only need one, I got one, I don't plan on buying another, unless mine breaks, then I would be pissed. I still don't think Apple will be in trouble because of it. Is it just me,…
  • Quote: Originally posted by steve666 A $499 tower would fly off the shelves When I first heard rumors about the mac mini, thats what I was hoping it would be. I would be content with G4 processor choices, I just don't like the video option…
