If they both have Gigabit Ethernet use that...its faster than FireWire and you don't even need a crossover cable.

I think yall may be confused as to what im asking, I would like to be able to swap files between the computers over the network, maybe change files then move them around, that sort…

SystemPrefs> turn on remote login and personal file sharing.(Both systems) While both are on the ketwork, hit apple+K or Go>connect to server and put in the IP of the system …

Simple tip: You can use iChat Rendezvous to transfer files between the two computers, if you don't do it too often.

because we all know talking to yourself (if even over AIM) is a sign of insanity. haha. use VNC to control, and file sharing to move files.

Ok, this is kind of embarassing, but I had my computer, in my backback with a computer sleeve, fall off of a 4 foot high table, onto the floor. I thought it got through the episod…

Lately, something seems slow about my pismo. On SNES9X it gets lower performance than my rev. C iMac, and video files, .avi files in particular have had horrible performance, dropp…

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…

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…
