  • Quote: Originally posted by lucida Thanks that's good to know. The card seems to classed as mid range among all the card available for PC's, which I suppose isn't bad. Miles better that the GeForce 5200 that's in my current Mac. It's a …
  • It's the real card. The X1600 comes in both standard and Mobility configs. It's not listed as a Mobility version, and iMacs never ship with Mobility chipsets, anyway. Read all about it: http://www.ati.com/products/RadeonX1600/index.html It …

  • There's a real ugly lot of jeering going on here about new iMac purchasers being "stupid" for buying "so close" to a Macworld. I grant, IF you are enough of a fanatic to keep up with AppleInsider on a near-daily basis, you probably should have pa…
  • Quote: Originally posted by BeigeUser Unfortunately, I think the Airport Express extends the range of the network only if the WiFi router supports WDS. My ADSL modem had a built-in WiFi router so I bought a AE to extend my network but to my di…
  • Quote: Originally posted by CosmoNut So we're all clear, the Airport Express CAN be a wireless bridge? Yes. Provided your main base station supports WDS. If it's an Airport Extreme, then you have no problems.
  • Quote: Originally posted by Merovingian Just to update... Well, I purchased an Airport Express, and in WDS mode, the above works. Anyway, thanks guys. Was going to say - that's the way it works in my house too I just hooked it…
  • AFAIK, you should be able to use the Express to extend any network. You just have to configure it using the Airport Admin Utility - open, select the Airport Express and click Configure. Then go to the WDS tab and tick "Enable this base station as…
  • That's not a hardware problem. Your mouse sounds just fine. It's more likely that there is just no functionality programmed for the kind of "panning" you describe with iPhoto. You normally have to click and drag to move around an image. As for…
  • Try the Sonica Theater 7.1 Surround Sound USB Card from M-Audio. I had one of these for my Powerbook and it works a charm - just never got around to actually getting the 5.1 speakers Bear in mind that unlike the USB Audigy from Creative, this do…
