i have a question. I own a dual 2 gig g5 and 2 apple 20" lcds both hooked up via the default (9600?) vid card... one dvi one adc... when i have DOZENS of windows open, expose wil…

Screw Quake III tests. Everyone should run Diablo II. You can have a dual Opteron with 4GBs of RAM and a 256MB Radeon XT and it'll still slow to 20 fps when you turn the minimap …

I think thats due more to poor coding then the computer/graphics card you run the game on.

If I had $500 just lying around, I'd probably pick one up. But, I don't think I go shifting my finances around just to afford one. I'll probably stick with my 9600 for now. On my d…

Call of Duty readme actually states "Solution: Call of Duty uses a lot of detailed textures, and in the normal course of play works best with at least 32M-64M of VRAM on your vid…

You know, gaming isn't the only thing you can do with a graphics card. I can fill up those 256MiB with a single 3D texture in about a quarter of a second. Right now I'm doing visua…

Was it necessary to dig up a 6 month old thread?

And what do you have against archaeology :-)

Hi all, If you were going to get a 1.25 Al PB, which mail-order company would you order from? who would you stay away from? Extras is no biggie. Thanks!!

I have always felt most comfortable and confident with PowerMax. You can rest assured that your CSR will follow through and be there after your purchase as well. I've even paid a l…

I bought a 15" 1.25GHz PB from the Apple store and it took me two months and a lot of phone calls to get mine. Don't get one direct from Apple unless you want to get a BTO and wai…

I have a G4 500mhz Tibook that is giving me some major difficulty as of the last few days. If it goes to sleep, is restarted or shut down it will not restart. I have managed to s…

Try resetting the power manager. Remove battery, power source, remove keyboard, locate PM reset button at upper right under keyboard (small metal button). Hold down for a while, re…

Thanks slimmy. Is that the same as the reset button on the back of the PB? (I think so). If so I've already tried that and it doesn't seem to help....

i am about to place an order for a memory upgrade (512mb) from www.macsales.com for a new rev b 12", but to tell you the truth, i am rather clueless to which one to buy. Quote: …

nevermind, i found one

Just a quick question... My new PB15 is flawless(ish) and I can't be happier EXCEPT that the bottom right 2-3 keys on the keyboard were sticking up. As in raised above the height …

It's a common problem with these machines: poorly-installed keyboards. See, for example, these threads on Apple's boards: http://discussions.info.apple.com/We...2W.1@.599ba00d a…

Thanks bamchum. Seems my PowerBook isn't as perfect as I thought it was.
