  • Nvidia historically has always run OpenGL games (as well as Apps) better than ATI. ATI focuses more on Direct3D. The 6800 GT/Ultra should run Half Life 2 just fine. Nvidia is still tuning their D3D and OpenGL drivers. I think the fact that Doom …

  • Does Font Agent Pro give you the nasty lag like in Suitcase when you start up your computer? This is really annoying. It takes about one minute after the desktop comes up, where you cna't do a thing, becuase suitcase hogs the whole CPU. Just toda…

  • Canvas is another program that is all in one. It's a good enough program, although it costs $349.99 You may want to look into corel's graphic suite as well. Gimp would be another alternative if you want free applications, although it may be a…
    in Best publishing software for less than Quark or InDesign? Comment by trowa April 2004
  • for digital video editing, you should try to get the fastest internal hard drive you can afford. 5400RPM HD's are fine. I have a 7200RPM drive in my powerbook and I only noticed marginally less battery time. In terms of external HD's FW800, 7200R…

  • Adobe has done a splendid job making Indesign a better product through each revision. I stopped using Quark when they bought mTropolis and killed it for no reason. Plus, I can't stand Quark's interface.

  • This is a question I wanted to ask as well. I use suitcase. It does the job. I still miss ATM Deluxe (damn Adobe for killing it), but I can't spend all my time installing font managers and testing them out. I just wish panther's font book was …

  • Gaim will Fork source to get voice and video support. Adium is based on Gaim, but not sure how this will effect audio/video support in Adium (not exactly sure if this will support AIM/MSN/Yahoo voice/video chat, but interesting nonetheless). I assum…

  • keep in mind when purchasing a camera what glass (lenses) you want as well. If you already have a non digital nikon, then you might consider going with a nikon D70 or D100, they will let you use the same glass. Same with Canon. The other thing to ke…

  • I just installed Halo on my PB (1 Ghz TiBook, 1 GB RAM, 7200 RPM HD, 10.3.3) With settings at medium and res at 800x600, it runs, but a bit sluggish. Especially when there is a lot going on. I'm not even thinking about going multiplayer, it would ju…

  • Entourage isn't the greatest app for reading nntp (usenet). Your best bet is to use one of the apps mentioned above. If you are a newbie to usenet or want something simple, Unison is great. if you want to be a power user Thoth and MT-Newswatcher are…

  • The only game that EA Sports had on a mac was Madden 2000 (don't rememebr who did the actual porting), it didn't fair too well and that was the end of that. You probably just saw a PC notebook that looked like a powerbook. In any case, most gamer…
