I know it still depends on the OS, but do you think the standardization of peripherals like BT mice/keyboards, etc...... will occur for the mac once the Intel switch occurs? Then …

Err... No. The only thing that prevents a device from working with a Mac is its drivers, which, unless the device maker is using some assembly code in its drivers, will not make it…

...though I think a lot of Firewire and USB devices won't require much work, right, because they're targeting the bus protocol rather than peculiarities of the CPU and chipset? don…

Does that have anything to do with Open Firmware? If the Intel Macs use BIOS or whatever from Intel, will FireWire peripherals still work, or will FireWire and USB capabilities be…

Hi there I am in need of some hardware to connect my Mac to my display and TV at the same time as I am newly converted to the Mac from windows I have no idea of what I need where t…

Don't they have punctuation on Windows yet? Macs have had punctuation since 1984. Welcome to Macintosh. Which Mac? Various different Macs had/have different kinds of video outp…

Hi At my house we still have a Mac OS 9 computer running. I would like to purchase an new scanner and favor the Canon scanners because of the print-to-pdf-function and reasonable…

I'd suggest you buy an older Canon model with Mac OS 9 support (such as a LiDE 30 or 50) on eBay or ricardo. All the current Canons' drivers are for Mac OS X only. In fact, I actu…

i'm on panther...and yes the monitor, a 20" supermatch crt is about 10 years old... but it just happened overnight (btw, i shut down the monitor to save electricity overnight) an…

i can not access my hard drive even if i m using Partition magica of fdisk command it does not works do i have any solution for my disk or i have to throw it away Destination

If you're going to spam a Mac website, at least you can come up with something better than fdisk. May your curry have worms in it.

Hello, I have a an early 2005 Dual 2GHz G5 (16x SuperDrive model) w/ 512 MB RAM and Radeon 9600 128 MB graphics and im playing Doom 3 on it but it plays very choppy.It sometimes ev…

graphics card

Cool... which card should i get and why?

X800xt or the nVidia 6800 will do. My preference is the x800xt based partly on price and based partly on ATI's device drivers. They seem to be able to tweak more performance out …

I disagree - more RAM would do more. I have an early SP 1.8 G5, and things got noticeably better when I upgraded to 1.5 Gig from 500 Meg. Plus, it's cheaper.

I agree with the above posters about the video card, but I still would upgrade your RAM to at least 1GB. 512MB is the bare minimum and when playing a 3D intensive game like that y…

Why do you have to spend it all on RAM or all on graphics? I'd split it in half. $300 on RAM would get you an additional chunk of memory (2GB?) and the other $300 can be spent on…

The 9800 runs Doom III like crap on the Mac. You need an X800/850 or 6800 to get any decent frame rate. Shitty port...

Sucks to know that since it's the only game i've been looking forward to playing. I know i want a better video card than the 9800 and more than 1GB of RAM in my system. So far, i …

I'd think twice about this. I had a Dual 1.8GHz G5 with 2GBs of RAM and an X800 XT and Doom III ran like crap at 1024x768 with all the options off.

Oh well...I guess i'l spend the money on something else then. Thanks for all the input.
