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…

Well I figure I can still run a 7950 if I can find the drivers. That would suffice for me.

Greetings, Are there any cable adapters out there that would allow you to use headphone out jack from a 1st Gen iPod (or any other audio device) with a dock connecter such as that…

Answering my own post here: Still interested in other options if there are others out there. Thanks! http://home.swipnet.se/ridax/connector.htm

My 4th generation 40gb iPod has had problems in the past (freezing up and noisy hard drive, and eventually, the dreaded sad iPod icon), and I just got it back from the repair shop.…

Just tried redownloading it and reinstalling it and it's still freezing. No, I haven't talked to the shop yet. Could this just be my computer being quirky? It's been known to c…
