using belkin modem + router 2in1. not sure whether its G or N. so N can go further?
*sorry if im discussing about modem here. notworthy.gif

get the model number and google it. it should say whether it's "802.11a/b/g" or "802.11a/b/g/n". yes N can go further smile.gif

I realized that the longer i turn Google Chrome on my macbook, the more memory it hogs. Does anyone ever come across this situation?

Exactly, firefox also the same thing...
So, switch to Safari..use firefox and Chrome only when necessary..

I think its probably due to the fact that it actually stores your most recent website under the history tab etc. Could that be it?

Just received my Momentus XT back form Seagate...
Installed a fresh copy of OS... Dam, it's way faster then before and running really smooth... Even my first boot is really fast...
If anyone is getting this HDD, please do a fresh install to experience the true performance...

yea true... XAMPP & MAMP very powerful wan...

but there's limitation on bundle apps like XAMPP & MAMP.. for me as developer... there is some 3rd party software that required certain version of apps...

for eg. imagemagick if installed from macports will be configured with perl5.8.9 ... but chartdirector for mac not compatible with other than perl shipped with mac(in this case perl5.10).. but little bit tweak this and there will do the job... and help from pakcik google tooo...

hehehe... but need a lot of advice from sifu here... so many thing that i dont know about mac... hope can give me some advice...

thanxs in advanced


Added on January 8, 2011, 8:58 pmit's 17" ... hehehe

**very hard to find case or bag that can fit this size... hahahahahha...
