QUOTE(chrtien @ Apr 9 2006, 02:44 PM) Hey Siawgu, as i knowI noticed that you also had problems detecting the a "PCI device" on your Mac mini. I assume that you've also got a problem with audio? I've installed a friend's hacked copy of Windows XP SP2 on a Core Duo 1.66MHz Mac mini, which works fine except that the sound card wasn't detected by the operating system (Hence, the "Unknown Device" under the System Hardware Profile panel). I just curious to know if you've really got a legit, non-OEM retail copy of Windows XP SP2 installed coz nobody else seems to have this problem. -Chris PCI device = IrDA Unknown DEvice = ??? i have no problem with the sound card... |

I've bought ACPP for my last 3 PowerBooks. In every case it's been money well spent. I've even managed to get a replacement battery for two of them on ACPP.... Desktop macs on the other hand suffer less than portables and are cheaper to repair. Quality issues? You have to have suffered the "Perfoma" line of Macs in order to experience shoddy Mac build and quality. |

QUOTE(Eithanius @ Apr 6 2006, 11:15 AM) Call me a fanatic if you want, but i'd really have to say this. Mac is like a cult, like one's religion. Devouts get angry when their religion is desecrated, hardcore mac-fans get dishonoured (if you will) when their cult is oppressed, in this case - Apple's abandoning innovation in favour of dominion. wahahah..but its a good move to "bridge the gap" of both OSes. Though the feeling of exclusiveness might wear off for mac devouts, but on the bright side, we consumers can get the best of both worlds. And perhaps cloned Mac Machines might be available soon at a cheaper price (HOPE!). |

QUOTE(joehan @ Apr 6 2006, 09:24 PM) ermm.. do you guys think that we can run Vista in mac using Boot Camp??? just wanna know... Leopard, (OSX 10.5.0) will be released wayy before Vista. Leopard will have visualization built in.. Apple will be stupid to not include Vista in the list of working OSes.. i'm planning to buy an imac...QUOTE(Jaffar @ Apr 8 2006, 07:29 AM) ..Not like last time, where those methods which need you to bless the xom.efi file.. I, salute you, for you have braved trying out narf and blanka's solution before Apple's. There aren't a lot of people who are willing to risk their "shiny new macs"..  (Much less people KNOW that an alternative solution was released before Apple's "BootCamp".)QUOTE(xaw5126 @ Apr 8 2006, 07:42 PM) it doesn't. the single click becomes very irritating... on the other hand, all intel based iMac comes with Mighty Mouse (2 button). MacBook Pro and intel Mac Mini... get your own 2 button mouse la I read somewhere that ctrl+click works in XP as well.. |

QUOTE(evilhomura89 @ Apr 11 2006, 03:46 PM) Any idea on will it supports Vista?? If you compare M$'s and Apple-Intel's roadmap, you'll come to realize that current range of Intel Macs are most likely out of luck to run Vista. 1. Microsoft had change its mind of supporting OS boot up in EFI, so it's a NO for Intel Macs now. 2. Wait for future Windows (as promised by M$ that they will then support EFI) you say? If you wait with the existing Intel Mac (32bit Intel chip), you'll be 32bits shorter to run the god-knows-when "future" release of Windows because it "should" be running 64bits. 3. Ultimately, like others said, if M$ keep up its tortoise pace, the industry will pretty much look for other alternatives - OSX or Linux. My take: Install XP to do whatever that you have to do with M$, then slowly move over to OSX, it's growing  |

Instead of getting paranoid, why don't you learn how to protect your system? I've used Windows for many years and my computer only got infected with virus once, and that was back in the 5.25" floppy days. You really shouldn't worry too much about viruses on Mac, if you know your stuff.

Damn difficult to remove- format also cannot kill it, fdisk cannot kill it, must low level format. In the end the virus kill my HD first. But cannot say Mac no virus. I kena Autostart worm before. Dunno come from where, maybe a Mac CD I need to convert to PC CD format for a friend. QUOTE Mac needs AV to protect the pc fr any virus or no need anything to protect the mac pc? Mac got AV. I using Norton SystemWorks 2003 for Mac (which killed the Autostart worm for me). I think there's also Virex and a few more. This post has been edited by RAMChYLD: May 3 2006, 09:38 AM |
