i woke up this morning and found that my register copy of shapeshifter 2.1 stopped working. am i alone in this? i updated from the last version and everything was fine until today…

IF you look at it, 167 MHz bus, in today's PC notebooks is laughable. The G4 has all these limitations that somehow limit its performance, which is why i'm complaining because per…

Mmmmmm... on my 1.5ghz Powerbook I did an 'archive & install' and everything went smoothly... even at reduced speed on this thing, 10.4 is snappy™ - I don't get any spinning be…

i'm thinking of doing a clean install but i don't have the external harddrive space to back everything up.

So, I'm getting my new 15" Powerbook (1.67/1GB RAM/128VRAM) in a few hours along with an update to Tiger (through Up-to-date). The system will have never been used before, so shoul…

So it's the G4 with it's bus limitation that's the problem? But wouldn't more vram help? How can Apple get a faster bus into the PowerBook? Isn't the G4 already on its max bus s…

The system bus is another bottleneck in the Powerbooks that keep them from performing better in games. You can throw the fastest GPU you want in the current PowerBook architecture…

My housemate has a PSP. It's cool. It's like a portable Playstation. Very much a portable console. One more thing to carry with my PowerBook. But then again, I could buy a not…

Here's something I found: Quote: So Blockbuster is getting in on some PSP action, but it’s not movie rentals they’re after, it’s game rentals. They’re going to be off…

Or how aboutMobility Radeon 9800 ? Maybe in the next PowerBook?

>9700 Mobility Radeon 256 MB a As long as it fits in a powerbook (height) I'm all for it. That way i will be able to drive the next monster size LCD coming down the pike.

I know the Mac game market is limited, but there is a market. Otherwise, why would Blizzard be making PC/Mac compatible games? Why is Aspyr in business? Doom3 was out on Mac befo…

I'm hoping the Core Video additions to Tiger will help improve gaming on the Mac.

>. Why not tell him to get a PC? He should if he wants to play games. Face it. The mac game market 'ain't' there. A g5 in a powerbook will not change things. Its about mark…

I would like to say that my PowerBook plays most games well, just not the newer games. Good thing I still like Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy.

I'm getting a little fed up with the standard, "get a console", or "get a desktop" responses to questions like SassyPant's. Why not tell him to get a PC? Why shoud Mac users who …

just buy a nintendo for crisakes.

First of all, neither IBM or Delphi make the Powerbook. Apple does. The delay is from IBM but only because of the processor. Second, if you want to game, get a desktop machine. …

Nope. Very, very rare is it to see a laptop with changeable video.

I too have a clean install fetish Every new OS goes on a freshly zeroed hard drive. It's really no big deal, even though it takes me about 5 hours to do. I zero the HD, then rein…
