With the Mac Pro's anemic PCIe configuration (one 16x, two 4x, and one 1x), SLI wouldn't be terribly useful.

I got the bone stock 2.66 Quad and will be getting more memory in the near future (when available via 3rd party). The video card should be ok for quite some time but can easily be…

Has anyone used a QuickCam from Logitech (formerly from Connectix)? Any comments on how well they work or how satisfied you were would be appreciated. They have a USB Mac/Win ver…

some brief comments on today's edition of both MacNN and iMac2day (2/10).

I recently purchased a SyQuest SKYDATA 200MB 5.25" SCSI drive from a graphics company that was blowing out its stock so it could upgrade to newer Mac systems. My problem is that I…

Hello, I wonder is there any place I can buy a 7"NuBus A/V card for my PowerMac 6100/60? Thank you

Well, subject pretty much says it all. Does anyone have experience with putting a Mac in a new case? I have a 7300 that I'd like to put into a big tower so that I can add more driv…

Hi, you can put the 7300 in any ATX Style case. Apple just used a form factor near ATX. The only thing to do is to make your own I/O shield in the back of the case, because most A…

Yes, that is probably right. 8.5 GB 8.5*1024 = 8704 MB 8704*1024 = 8912896 KB Most people just look at the 8912896 KB and call it 9 GB (when it really is only 8.5 GB) because they…

i want to buy some surround sound speakers for my imac. Does it support true surround sound? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a puzzling problem that I might run past people. One of my clients has a Apple Color LaserWriter 12/660 and prints thru Xpress 3.32. The symptoms are INCREDIBLY heavy inks b…

My VST 6Gb drive is not hot swappable, and causes finder quits at startup. Anyone using these drives with success in OS 8.6?
