  • The use of FB-DIMMS is not a choice by Apple that they can simply revert, I believe it is a requirement of the Xeon. It's not unreasonable for a server-based CPU to require server-based RAM, after all.
  • That tutorial is spot on. Remember, and this is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT... you must remove the old thermal paste from the heatsinks on both the small bottom and the remainder of the dome, and replace it with a small dose of new thermal paste. If you don…
  • Chances are it's just a fluke. Just hold the power button down for five seconds or so, and the machine will power down.

  • Somehow, the idea of two copies of Leopard running simultaneously seems impossible. Surely the machine would suffer a kernel panic immediately? Whatever the problem is, I would recommend disconnecting the Time Machine drive immediately, so as to …
  • What I think mzaslove and Bergermeister are trying to say is this: If you look over the MacBook, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro, and you decide that the MBA is not for you, that's fine. No one is forcing you to buy it, and you've lost nothing for it's…
  • "Failed to calibrate the laser power level" usually means that the optical drive is no good.
  • Here's the skinny: For those of you who don't like the Air, you have every right to pretend it doesn't exist. You don't like the lack of ports, the price point, or whatever, don't buy it and leave it at that. But to continue to insult the machine an…
  • I would say that there won't be a 16GB nano until the 8GB touch is dropped. They'll likely just do what they always do with the nano, double the capacities and keep the price the same. So, we'd see a $149 8GB nano and a $199 16GB nano. I imagine the…

  • I believe it can, I'm not an expert on RAM but I've never run into a DIMM (of the correct speed, of course) that the G5 wouldn't take.
  • Quote: Originally Posted by CoreyMac ...if they simply put a 5400 RPM Hard Drive in the darn thing? That's just it, it's not simple. They're not using standard 2.5" drives, they're using 1.8" drives like the ones in the iPods. IIRC, those don'…
  • Mid 2007 MacBook (2.0 and 2.16 Meroms) can take up to 3GB of RAM.
  • Virtualization would be the only way to have two accounts open at once, but even then, the machine only has one set of inputs. The two mice would fight one another, rather than create a second pointer.
  • Is printer sharing enabled on all clients? If so, they might be receiving the printer and then sharing it themselves, causing a "Printer @ Client 1", "Printer @ Client 2", "Printer @ Client 3" situation. They don't need printer sharing enabled to re…
  • The MacBook Pro's adapter can be used on either machine, but the MacBook's adapter can only be used safely on the MacBook.
