After I bought my first iMac I planned to demote my PC to a DVR. I purchased the SnapStream & Silicondust package - HDHomeRun and BeyondTV software for the PC, but BeyondTV software locks up constantly. Then I bought Vista Ultimate Media Cente…

I would (and did) go with the 20" 2.4, and I got a 2 gig Ram from www.otherworldcomputing.com for the same price as Apple charges for 1 gig upgrade. That will set you for 5 years, because when/if you ever need more Ram you will only have to replace…

I found something that seems to have improved my lockup issues while running Windows XP through Bootcamp. You might have different issues than mine, but here's something you can try. 1) Download the ATI Catalyst Display Driver 7.9, and also its …

I have 2 new iMetals, My 20", 2.4 GHz, 3 Gig Ram, runs reliably and works well, but it's only my backup machine. My 24", 2.8 GHz, 4 Gig Ram, locks up as often as once an hour. It happens even if I'm doing nothing special like browsing the we…

Speed and cost. Include the advantages of the Mac Pro without the hinderances: A minitower would still allow for 2 hard drives in RAID0 to double the speed of the hard drive bottleneck which plagues computers today. Also it would still allow fo…

They could be using it as a running backup. It saves down-time if something goes wrong on one site, they change the IP number on the other server and you have an instant site restore while you rebuild the other server from a backup. Sure they prob…

Apple had the 3 GHz Quad Xeon Clovertown 4 months before PCs. They got special treatment, maybe as payment for moving everything to Intel chips. So now picture this: On Aug. 7th Apple could announce that the top of the line Mac Pro will now carry …

Best Buy's website has had the Mac Pros labelled as Sold Out. You'd think an organization that big would have one available somewhere for purchasing online. I'm speculating that maybe they didn't re-order because a new model is coming out at the e…
