err guys... don't mind me asking... How do u check your CPU temperature lah? I never really bothered at the start, but since u guys are always talking about it.....

Anyone updated their Boot Camp?

I just got the Boot Camp 1.1.2, did a new driver CD, installed it, only diffrence I could detect was the two finger scrolling ability in Windows (Havent used Windows for quite some time in my Macbook, so dont know much differences). Info:-

I posted this URL in the other thread, but I think it's OK for me to post it once again in this thread, since it's related to MB and MBP.. So guys, just check it out

Cheers.

My Macbook is usually around 30-35. Sometimes it goes up to 50-55 though!

If my MB top cover is like hinge, can I demand Apple Service Center to change it? It's 'terbuka' at the left near the palm rest and at the right at the slot loading drive.. Anyone have experience this? Very sakit hati lorr see MB like that.. looks like very low quality notebook..

just got mac book pro 2.16 today ... super chun , 1st time used mac but din know can dual boot to win xp also... IM Starting TO love MAC!!!! and the interface when using the remote control in mac is super nice!!!!!

Welcome to the dark side... I doubt you will need to dual boot to XP unless you're a hardcore gamer....

actually my schools is starting this mac book programme ... they using all mac next year so we need to get a laptop for that. But im a vivid fan of WinXP ( No Offence) but then Mac Book Pro got this dual boot. so Heck , i skip Hp Paviliion dv9000 to get this baby . Sleek , Super Clear and Loud Sound. Supporting Mac now...lol...summore the remote control interface...SLEEK!!!

And yes, im a hardcore gamer

Anyway should have got it from my school , they give 8% discount from retail price cos bulk...>.< cant wait anyway ...

Wawa ... i buy from u like that can eh? hehe

Hardcore gamer here as well... That's why I gotta boot up my PC for games Otherwise I couldn't be bothered booting up my PC lol. And yeah... Mac's aren't perfect... There are still things that Mac couldn't do.... like running Ms Access? But most small things can be easily run with Parallels or CrossOver... I know some web designers actually run parallels just to make sure their site looks fine under IE. lol.

some question for MBP user, i plan to buy 1.. i'm really interested in the 17" one, and i'm a hardcore gamer as well.. just want to ask.. when we use bootcamp to booting up win XP, do we need to manually install the driver say the graphic card driver?

Apple's Boot Camp will make a driver installation CD for you.
Read up:

For the gfx driver you can always use ATI Catalyst for best performance. Also, use ATItool to clock up your gfx card's speed because MBPs come with x1600's with lower than factory default clockspeed. (Not sure if this is still the case for c2d MBPs).

I've read somewhere that they even underclock your c2d intel processor to reduce heat.

uhmm... Most laptops will have their processor clockspeeds brought down from time to time to save battery power... (If you're running in battery mode) It reduces heat too but I don't think that's the main reason the clockspeed is brought down... Instead, the fan speeds are usually raised to counter the heat.

windows in mac izit stable enough ? ?

Windows in Mac: stable enough, itiz.

Lol ... itiz/izit -.-" ... But just don't expect it to run 100% perfectly. It's still in beta.

some times it cant shut down , but other wise ....all fine...
