Just got me self a MBP 17 2.8 loaded with 8GB ram an OCZ SSD....SHE ROCKS!!!! ....MAC ROCK!!!!

@ ujoewong and dvlzplayground - got ocz vertex for RM1550 for 120GB. Did not have intel X25M in shop. needed it like yesterday as I would be traveling...could not tahan dropped into mac studio on the way home...got myself the 24 inch ACD....looks wonderful. I will get myself either the innovative or Ergo dual arm in the US.

hehe ACD 24...here I come again....

so i can operate on clam shell mode. really lacking on desk top space. Need to
compress....

MBP is a baby..VMWAREd XP takes 10 sec from clicking the play to display user shell. VMWAREd Ubuntu takes abt 8-9 sec to login shell. And I maxed out there...2 VMWARE instances if i add another instance whole lap top feels slow..but usable but who the heck wants onli usable speed on MBP....v need instance response...click u response....i input a cmd code u resposne...i compile u response

....order the 8GB ram to boost things up....the octo MP....8-10 vmwared instances...no problem....for that I have the apple raid to take care of I/O crap (but I think apple raid is so so on performance onli)

hope this addresses your curiosity....

vmware for mac is much for stable than win32 or win64 code base. On the Mac VM instance......i got thru the nite (8 hours at least) without meeting the BSOD...on the bladdy win 32 or 64 host OS....at least reboot 2-3 times on the vmware instance..........show us programmers that the host OS i/o n memory management for 10.6.xxx is really SUPERB!!!!!
