I run a 400 pismo with 320mb RAM and have never felt that my system suffered from a lack of RAM. I can't speak to the RAM requirements of SNES emulation, but my initial thoughts ar…

alternatively, I have also experienced dramatic slow downs on my Pismo by allowing the drive to fill up. My perception is that with less than 1 GB free on teh hard drive, Panther …

Disk Warrior can also help with speed problems associated with suboptimal directories. This can happen even with a half empty HD -- scattered files really hurt the OS. I know with…

8megs of videoram... so the ext monitor MAY be the problem. if the pismo screen is completely useless, will be hard to confirm this. try some other screen resolutions? just a thou…

RAM -- Mac OS X alone, after just a little bit of web browsing, can easily take up hundreds and hundreds of MB of RAM. For example, all I have running now is iChat and Safari, but …

Trade up.

It may be too early in the lifetime of the G5 to answer this question, but I was wondering if anyone knew whether or not it's possible to upgrade a G5 1.6 to one of the higher spee…

At this point, I think it's too early to tell what may happen. I don't think I've come across any detailed discussion about if there will ever be processor upgrades for the G5 mode…

I can tell you that there is no way to add a second processor to the 1.6GHz model. The connectors and glue circuits are missing from the motherboard.

Apple seems to have killed the upgrade market. Upgraded computers kill new sales and Apple is all about new sales.

Every new Apple design gives way to the "no upgrade" sadists. About 18 months later, an upgrade comes out using some clever-but-semi-obvious method to get one working. Remember t…

I would imagine that eventually there willl be processor upgrades for the G5. Thing is at the moment they are so new, it will be a while before we will see any. Probably from power…

Thank you for all the comments and suggestions. I think I *will* probably get a dual G5 since it does seem to have at least more upgrade potential than the single processor G5.

Here is a list of loops from Soundtrack that were used in GarageBand. The list includes both the GarageBand and SoundTrack filenames, and their locations relative to /Library/Appli…

Can anyone post a list of the 100 instruments included with Jam Pack. I'm evaluating whether the purchase would be worthwhile. thanks...

I added the Jam Pack duplicates. I hope someone other than me finds this information useful. Perhaps it is the script that people will find more useful. As of now, I'm trying to fi…

Re: Jumping through loop hoops... As far as re-indexing... I have found that the best way to do this is to: 1) Drag an .aif file to the /Library/Application Support/GarageBand/App…

Thanks for the info! Very helpful. I have both Soundtrack and Garageband, and wasn't sure if the Jam Pack would be worth while. Guess I'm still unsure, but for now I'll add the Sou…

I made the script and posted it to Mac OS X Hints. Assuming Rob posts it, the script and detailed information about it will be available there. I don't want to retype the instructi…
