well thanks but it certainly would be fking frustrating if the update is more than software based, if its software based then we can easily change it, but if it's like hardware jump.... power pc --> intel this 1 i think sure throw the mb from 9th floor

well, i never fancy the design since i have always preferred the older titanium-ish look.
but well looking at this, i can hold off until early of nov to see if there is any refresh on the mbp line.

But of course, there's been a heavy speculation on refresh for mb, new look?

woo hoo got my 15" 2.8mbp yesterday while shopping with my gf biggrin.gif
the screen's friggin big, got used to my white mb already.

did some 144mb update, took quite long on the rm66 package stimx
found out it's really stupid that you need to logout/login to enable performance mode while adapter is plugged in.

that means there is no way to overcome this without any 3rd party cooling?

sigh, i realized that in order to upgrade to 8gb ram, i need to “throw” away the stock 2gb x 2 since there's only 2 slot

Don't forget 4GB stick is ain't cheap. But it's cheaper already, used to be RM1k+ biggrin.gif

well yeah, if I’m convinced that if 8gb ram performance is much better than 4gb, with the right price, would sell it off
but it seems like on snow leopard, even on this machine, i didn't really feel as if i'm on a high end machine, at certain point, running more than 2 - 3 programs, it'll start to be sluggish already

eh eh, want to ask if you guys know whats wrong with my macbook? (early 2006)
it keeps shutting down without reason suddenly

since around end of last year, been using it as a cpu only (connecting the macbook to an external monitor, the macbook itself is closed)
what's happening ar? I tried opening the top case and flow away the dust, after a while the problem came back again.

at first i suspected it would be the snowleopard causing the problem since the macbook runs fine on leopard without any hiccup at all.
any suggestions?

Hi there, did some test using istat as suggested, seems like the fan kaput?

When starting up for 1 minute
9:12PM
[attachmentid=1520193]
[attachmentid=1520196]

After running disk utility
9:38PM
[attachmentid=1520198]
[attachmentid=1520200]

Do you think I can get it fixed with a fee at apple shop like machines? the acpp gone case


Added on April 10, 2010, 1:42 amand yes, the macbook did shutdown by itself after a while
