umm..sorry. but why need to run games under boot camp?

im new to apple, so i dont know. thx

Cos' most game design for winxp version only. So you need bootcamp which can let you install winxp into MB/MBP or intelmac machine.

is that the reason why apple and itunes online are not opening here yet? hmm.gif  hmm.gif  hmm.gif

it is not good to steal stuff from developer that spends much effort and time on building software's that make our day... i am no software developer but i dont like my idea being use without my permission... think of it this way, if you honour the developers behind the great software you use, you are encouraging more creativity and ideas to spawn...  thumbup.gif  thumbup.gif  thumbup.gif

please do not think that i use a lot of expensive software, in fact, 90% of the software that runs on my MBP is either open source or freeware... thanks to my friends, google...  icon_idea.gif  icon_idea.gif  icon_idea.gif

of cause, once in a while i have to say, some software are better being paid then source for free alternative... sweat.gif  sweat.gif  sweat.gif

That's why those company can survive.. If free softwares(opensource) are so good, there's won't be any paid version of software. hmm.gif

Apple just released software update "Airport Extreme update 2007-001". I've installed it and not sure if it unlocked 802.11n on my mbp. How can I check for wifi compatibility? I don't have 802.11n wifi router.....
*
nope.. to unlocked, you need dl the patch which cost you $5 i think. That's update is for security i think. Heard ppl say ntg special about the update yawn.gif

Eh, speaking of it. Anyone here knows the x3000 can be comparable to what card?
*
Check this link out
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_GMA

Look for GMA X3000. I kinda confused that why it say that GMA 3000 for santa rosa platform, cos' i read some malaysia pc magazine stated that santa rosa platform use X3000, not that low-end version of GMA3000.

QUOTE
As each pipeline is fully programmable, in theory X3000 can target either DirectX 9 or DirectX 10, determined by operating system and device driver. This design is consistent with the DirectX 10 generation of video cards from ATI and nVidia, which also utilize unified pipelines.

Maybe nearly to nvidia6600/7300 mobility? Or lower sweat.gif It's hard to tell doh.gif

the thing is GMA950 really "ehem" for me.. biggrin.gif If i got that budget, right now i goin buy MBP instead of waiting. For MBP, it's not goin' improve much in "santa rosa" platform. But MB, it's a totally new environment brows.gif

dude you dont seem to get what i mean, who in the world want to pay for 5k in malaysia to use a product for just LESS THAN 5DAYS! and until now, already 2 month, all the time used to send for warranty, i mean. wtf?

my case is entirely different which i got a mb thats totally working fine with a weird problem on the isight, else everything alright, BUT YOU SEE

when after send to warranty come back i get thsoe INTENTIONAL GRAFFITI ART drawn on the cover. walan eh, i even havent leave my fingerprint dirt or even at least spray whatever on my body to the mb they already rape her like this. again. WTF?

i mean everyone has a problem, but i just want to let you guys know the dark side of SO MALAYSIAN attitude with our apple malaysia here. like buat tak tahu lepas sekejap tutup case. i mean wtf. really. you give me your 5k i give you my mb then taste a bit of my feeling here. no offense. really. 5k is NOT guess for me. dude, i'm just an ordinary guess sold most of my thing to get this. I thought it's a dream. but it felt more like a nightmare instead.

just pray they'll act NOT SO Malaysian after i sent it this time.
*
That's why i just say you're out of luck. Problem on isight is still consider not in good shape. Maybe you misintrepret my post. icon_rolleyes.gif Of course, no one wants to throw 5k for no good reason. doh.gif sweat.gif

It is because of the gpu. MB uses intergrated graphics (Intel GMA950), whereas MBP uses ATI X1600. MB will be cheaper biggrin.gif

Btw, since we all know how "secure" Windows is ....

Will the "Security" issue occur when we use bootcamp to install windows? (prone to virus  la, blablabla)?

Still thinking if i should install Windoze in my MB, as i might not have access to my desktop for a while.. Can't live without my MMORPG
*
Just keep it simple. Virus or blablah go to your macbook (from windose), then it won't affect your mac partition. Only the windose partition affected. And if you want solve it, just boot to your mac and "search and delete" virus or what from windose partition. Or you can just delete that windose partition. Just remember to backup your important data icon_rolleyes.gif

Btw, NTFS can be write in mac by using MacFuse and NTFS-3g rclxms.gif

dat's y i am in a doubt. Probably still getting Macbook. But haf to using Desktop PC to do rendering.

I am really noob in 3D rendering tech. I am still stucking in modelling stage. So i got no idea how SSS or HDRI working like.

One major drawback MBPRO is simply too big to bring around frequently. And the price of it, is better i get a car.

Or why don't you wait a lit longer for upcoming macbook? brows.gif I goin' wait for new MB. MBP too costly for me blush.gif

upcoming MB should be using santa rosa platform which will have X3000 integrated graphics (yummy). That's my prediction whistling.gif

guys,

how to permenently delete files on memory card?
normally when i delete it will have .trashes file.
when i check in windows it still have those files

hmm.. why don't use delete it on windows? IIAMN, whenever any media (i mean hdd, handydrive, memory card..etc) load in mac osx, it will generate those (.)files. For me, i just delete them in windows. icon_rolleyes.gif
