Hey guys, can our power adapter work in Japan?
Since their power is different from ours..

hello gurus,

i'm having trouble in installing windows 7 on the virtual machine created with Parallels Desktop. It appears that the setup wizard couldnt detect the boot drive. Initially i was trying to install it via iso image but failed, so i used the superdrive instead. still in vain. I've attached the screen shot. Any insight on this? thanks

good that it works hehe. im running win7 on vmware. i have 4gb RAM, n i set my win7 to use 2gb. smooth enough for me

Hi there. I am using PD for Win 7. On your top right of the long bar there's a Configure button there. You can adjust the Ram allocation and also which CPU to be used for the PD Win 7.

I have 4gb ram and I've allocated 2gb for my Win 7. If you are using for normal basic use (Surfing, watch some movies, run some win based softwares etc), it should be fine, though you will notice your Mac softwares on your MacOS (Eg: if you are running safari/iTunes for example, it might lag a bit). If you are using it for gaming purposes, like running Crysis 2, Starcraft 2, Dragon Age etc, then you will face some performance issue. I have tested all the games listed (just to see how good is PD ), it doesn't run very well using PD.

I did some research and mostly suggest running on Bootcamp if you are using for gaming purposes as it will maximize your hardware (as PD runs as a virtual OS), have yet to test this though.

For Space part, after you launch your PD, just go into Space mode, drag the PD to the screen (Click and drag it like how you do it in windows) that you want it to be at and it should stay there the next time you launch it.

Hope this helps.

im using a monoprice miniDP-to-HDMI adapter and it works great all the best for the bulk, u can get really good offers buying bulk from them

guys, i need some confirmation about something

my late 2008 15" MBP is still under ACPP and i want to claim a battery. my cycle count is 424 at 76% health. i dont really need it but might as well la right?

so that day i went to an apple authorized reseller (the only one in miri) but they say they need to send my MBP to KL in order to get a new battery, and this would take about 2 weeks. this is my only computer so that's out of the question

but they mentioned that if i can take my MBP to an apple premium reseller, they can change my battery on the spot. is this true? the nearest APR would be in brunei. i dont mind driving there but it'd certainly bum me out if suddenly they say they cant do it too

because it's not supposed to go under 80% before 500 cycles (for my model lah). i've contacted applecare and they confirmed this to me n say i can go claim a new battery

Funny you should ask that. I'm using it with Mac - no issue. Don't quite like the mouse though, heavy. Using a corded one. but does it work? yes..
