Yes, he wants to overclock a bit. We're all about getting the most for our money.

It's been a while since I was up to date with computer parts. My current build runs off an e6600. Im thinking about taking a look at quad core for this one. The machine is for a friend. Not much of a gamer, he's a musician and will be using it for recording. The machine needs to be snappy...

Opera is a disaster. what reasons do people have for using it?

Vastly superior screen on the macbook pro? I always thought that the one on the regular macbooks was fantastic. yah it does have some extra little perks but I think theyre things that many people won't even use. So its not so wise if you're a person whos not going to take advantage or have...

You don't need a mac to do that stuff. I am a mac and PC user and the mac doesnt really change things at all as far as design and coding. Actually, I prefer doing that stuff on my pc slightly more just because I'm used to it. ONE feature of leopard os x that I REAAALLY love though is spaces...

Got it in from Newegg today. Im realllly happy with it. System is snappy and I dont feel completely restricted anymore. :) Good ram ftm

COol. I just grabbed 4 gigs of the mushkin ram off newegg. I cant even believe its only 60 bucks after the mail in rebate. Thats insane. I think I spent like well over 200 on 3 gigs pc6400 ram for my desktop build back then when e6600 chips came out.

BUUUUUT...... What I am REALLY trying to ask is... Will I lose the snappiness of my OS if I am using 3gb? I am just trying to figure out the validity of apples statement when they say to run the same size stick in each channel. it wont be worth it to run 3gb if it makes my machine...

firefox. I hate safari

It is a 2.16 from the end of 2007. It's not compatible with 4gb. Apple claims it supports only 2gb but the unofficial truth is that it can run 3... Sooo.... I can't run 4. Again, based on my previous post, would you say I'd be better off with 2x1gb or 2gb+1gb? I will be able to have...

Well.. I do use EVERY bit of system performance for music production. It uses every ounce of ram and pushes the cpu to the max. What do you guys think I should do after having heard that?

I am about to order some ram on newegg. I am looking at the mushkin sticks. I can get a 2gb stick and then add another 1gb later if I decide I need it OR I can get two 1gb sticks and leave it at that... Apple recommends using the same sized modules for best performance though. I am...

Would you actually notice a difference between any of these sticks? I do cpu intensive music production/synthesis and every bit counts for me.

I'm running windows on w WD Sata and the rest of my files (media and such) are saved on my seagate IDE. Often times I will go to click on my music folder and I get a message that the drive that the folder is on is unavailable AND it wont show up in my computer either until I restart my PC...

PLEASE ANYONE KNOW ABOUT MULTI PURPOSE PRINTERS??
