Quick question: I just removed my Boot Camp partition. If I want to set up another Boot Camp partition in the future, can I still use the same copy of Windows XP - with the same product key - I'd used the first time?

(Mine is a System Builder OEM. Also, I believe I've had my motherboard changed since the last time I installed Windows XP, due to the NVIDIA 8600M GT defect.)

RM1030 for Intel-X25M Generation 2 80GB. Quite a steal I reckon. Since, Intel dropped the price on the recent release of SSD.
As in today, 1st Tier SSD is Intel Brand followed by OCZ SSD's. So, I think it's gonna be awesome. Can't wait.

Wow so cheap already? From whom? Man it's getting tempting.

hi all,

i recently reformatted my unibody macbook to snow leopard. and a few days later, i noticed that my touchpad isnt that sensitive and is not really responding at times, even when i click on it (i usually tap). and also, i did not meddle with the sensitivity during leopard, and now, so i dont know if it's software related, or is it more serious hardware problem.

Anyone experiencing this as well? any help/comment is much appreciated, thanks in advance.

Do check him out. I'm getting mine on this coming wednesday.

is a 2GB RAM sufficient if i'm only using the mbp for normal stuff like surfing the net and watching movies and such?

its enough if you only use for that.

Yes enough. Even if you use photoshop still okay. But when you start to multitask with memory heavy programs, having more RAM makes a lot of difference.

Like I usually run a Windows XP virtual machine in Parallels, with iTunes, Adium, Safari, iCal, Excel or Aperture, things really start to crawl when I had 2GB. Upgrading to 4GB made a lot of difference for me.

i agree

another indicator you can use as guide is the swap out readings in activity monitor..

when swap out occurs, means there is not enough memory so pages had to be swap out to hdd

i see thanks! sorry i'm new here but do u know if i can run most engineering softwares using a mac?

So many things to do for my MBP... Bag, Kensington lock, screen and touchpad protector, install Windows in Bootcamp etc. @_@

Did I miss anything else that you guys did for your MBPs? Do suggest me! =D

lol the only thing i have on is my anti glare film..

does anti-glare film affect the colors of the screen?

EDIT: I mean does the colors look different from how they should be?

I wonder is it necessary to get an anti glare film for my mbp...and any1 could suggest me a good bag for my mbp?looking for one at the moment..GOLLA looks nice to me...

if ur always in indoor i think anti glare is not a must to get le
unless your always using ur mbp outdoor.
i just love the trackpad smoothness hesitate to get a protector for it bcoz it feels so good using it
the only thing i need is a cover to protect the aluminium body

i cover nothing to my uMB. i love the originality of it. and i'm a carefull person, so no harm will be done XD

i dont understand why must u guys install windows ? cant do whatever u need on os x ?

My case, I have no choice, engineering student
lucky win 7 is much more better than freaking vista
