  • to have 3gb of RAM installed in a MBP, you need 1x 1gb, 1x 2gb. It's really hard to find 2gb chips in ddr-2 667 laptop format, and when you do find them, they're really expensive. Buying it from apple actually isn't a bad idea. But, you can check ne…

  • This thread is entertaining. It's true that these developers calling it quits on trying to port their product to OSX is pretty rediculous... my church runs BootCamp on their MBs just so they can use it. But the software is solid. I've used it …
  • did you try installing on the PB's internal drive? If something changes when you do, it may that the game just doesnt handle being played through the USB / IEEE bus very well. Which one are you using, btw: Firewire or USB?
  • You don't have to buy RAM right now, either. You can put another 1GB stick in later if you think you need it, and it will be less than $175. It's also worth noting that the Black MB is $150 more than the White MB configured the same. You're payin…
  • one the biggest, "simplest" things you can do to utilize the earth for heating your house is to have a daylight basement. This means that most the lower floor is underground. Dirts a really good insulator.... and throughout the year and the day it …
  • very helpful info everyone, thank you!
  • there's pleanty of good BT clients for mac. Azureus is one of the favorites. but with apple removing DRM, the "it's not immoral" argument is going away fast for me. ...not that i'm rushing out to delete my 70+ GB of less-than-legit data eith…
  • I live in oregon, where tree-huggers are a-pleanty. there's a lot of cool stuff you can do to make the electric meter run backwards. House heating is one of the biggest energy drainers ever, and its also the easiest to do without sapping electric…
  • yeah i figured it might be a little weird trying to draw with one at first. whats the learning curve?

  • The max write-speed of the MBP 17" is 6x. Chances are, your xp machine is a desktop, and has a much faster dvd-burner in it. DVD burning isn't so much a processor drag as it is a drag on the optical hardware. I use my Athlon 1900+ machine to do a…
  • ATi's X1900 Mobility, maybe? or perhaps i'm just dreaming again... http://ati.amd.com/products/mobilityradeonx1900/ It would also be sort of cool to see an Nvidia card in the new MBP. the 7000 series is appearing more and more in Apple's desk…
  • I've been using Debian off and on, and ran RedHat before anyone had even heard of Linux. I asked my dad about using Unix in the early 90s, and he remembers running Xwindows on the robots he coded for when he worked in aerospace (Xwinows was a mul…

  • Thank you! Does anyone have any input about the 13inch MacBook, and how well it handles Photo/Video/Audio apps?
