Because of the noise I've only been running the dual 2.5 in reduced mode, any other setting was unbearable. My 2x2.0 is now running at the highest setting and I find it to be about the speed of the 2x2.5 in reduced mode. No labs-test or anything, ju…

I just received and installed my 2x2.0 GHZ G5 which replaced my very noisy 2x2.5 GHZ G5 and I'm so happy. Running at the highest setting the machine remains totally quiet. No more fan-revving at all!!I'm so glad I made the switch. I also have an upg…

Just called apple to get my money back. I'm extremely disappointed with the 2x2.5's. Speed-wise it's an amazing machine but noise-wise, even when you do the simplest things like browsing, it's noisy as hell. I'm switching to 2x2.0. The past several …

have had my new 2x2.5 replacement now for a few days and it's still not ok. The noise is the same as the old one and it's still not as quiet as a 2x2.0. Unless I run the machine at reduced speed it's simply unacceptable. Calling Apple again today!

why wait for all that when you can have (read :: buy) something as elegant as Omniweb 5 which makes full-use of dual-processors. For simple browsing Safari is great, the moment you want something more there's Omniweb, which has RSS right now btw!

Let me give a work example: One of my clients is Pepsi, and let's say one particular case involves both Pepsi and Apple. Now, I have several documents containing references to this case, be it Word, Powerpoint, Keynote files or even emails. What …

I'm sure you can set a preference which files to show and which not, and hidden files will surely remain hidden. No accidental pr0n-files will show up, no worries

it's not all that bad, it's just that FAP is an altogether better application.

My pleasure - glad it all works again and that you like Font Agent. With regards to removing applications. It normally goes the way you described, except that Suitcase is not a normal application, so removing other files is essential. Since Panther …

You'd better search your HD for anything extensis and suitcase related and carefully delete this. I normally to that like this: delete files movie After that install the plugins that come with Font Agent (Indesign, Photoshop etc) and you should b…

which version are you using? The latest is 2.1.2. Also, what are your settings in FAP preferences??

Quote: Originally posted by Cake My 2.5 is very quiet - much more so than my 2.0 at work. I'm running Folding@Home 24/7, both processors maxed at 100% and I almost never hear the main fans spin up - only when I restart or sometimes when I launch…
