QUOTE(lokgotz @ Jul 18 2006, 09:15 PM) i still dont understand why is mac giving out white adapters instead of black ones......... White is the symbolic colour...and you know why Apple made iPod white and black, but the earphone still white... it's because... black is to common for the earphone..same with the cable.. Saw white earphones on the street..means you saw a dude with an iPod.. So many company made black earphones...too common and boring liao.. so use white stuff for pc and MP3's means you got Apple'ed!

QUOTE(lokgotz @ Jul 4 2006, 11:12 PM) what apple does might save a bit of money...... coz if we were to upgrade the rams ourselves....we are wasting perfectly good rams......coz we have to take the 2x256 out and replace it with 2x512....... actually the ram which we buy in other stores than mac is just the same. I've used a powerpc g4 dual processor and a powerbook g4 and switch the rams. It worked perfectly.

If want to use pro apps go for MBP lor.. or you can get 1.83ghz iMac at the same price of 2.0 white MB dude..  I think MB will suit for average user only, not for pro user. BTW, gudluck to you

Buy from apple is very expensive. Macbook got 3year warrantee? Do you think it's worth to get macbook @4.4k over dell/other brand if my Main purpose is want to use Window xp?

ychwang i don't want to give a comment on a speed but yes you can extend your 1 year waranty to 3 years waranty, and you can use compatible rams, dell or macbook? of course macbook you get 2 in 1 dude  oh yes, there's a software called paralels as the other options other than BootCamp

It is not often given up to run other programs. Active is currently being used by your programs Inactive memory can be allocated to any program that needs it. I guess it was previously used by a program and maintained for a while in case it was needed again. Free ram is of course untouched by any application. Hope I got it right
