  • When I upgraded my wife's stock MacBook drive, I put the old one in a USB 2.0 enclosure. It came with this funky USB cord that came with two plugs (on the computer end) in order to siphon power from both ports. Just to test, I plugged it into just o…

  • You're probably better off reading technical reviews of various monitors online. Several online mags go through testing that even under the best of circumstances you couldn't replicate at CompUSA, like backlight consistency, true response times, and…
    in Trying to make a PC look exactly like a screenshot of OS X Comment by benzene November 2006
  • The Register reported that the Mac Pro running Windows XP was the fastest PC in the UK. Although, at that time it wasn't exactly an apples-to-apples comparison, so to speak. ;-)

  • It all depends on what you're going to do with your MB/MBP. No, the integrated graphics on the MB isn't going to burn any barns, but unless you're going to play games on your ACD, it's not going to make any noticeable difference, as long as you h…

  • I was originally interested in the PS3 because of it's backward compatibility and ability to run Linux. However, I'm not willing to pay the current price. Also, I'm still waiting for the HD TV market to stabilize and drop in cost a bit. I will be…

  • This is, by far, the funniest thing I've read all day. This even beats out the "Reams Biological Theory of Ionization" and the frequency of grapes.

    in Upgrade suggestions?? Comment by benzene November 2006
  • Although I agree with lundy, considering how much your graphics work your gf does a slightly newer machine does make sense. A G4 MDD like lundy suggests is going to be around $400-500 from eBay. However, there are competitive CPU upgrade paths out t…

  • Good idea, I too have an audio fix that I'd like to append. It concerns having different grounds for your computer and audio equipment. For some reason, many times when you plug analog line outs from any computer into audio gear, a difference in …

  • Something is preventing your 'book from sleeping then. There's a number of things than can cause this, I've even heard about a printer driver (HP maybe?) that can prevent laptops from sleeping. I'd google around, as this is a fairly common com…
