for me, just drag the software ( from application folder ) to delete to the trash bin.

You'll have to buy from Apple's Online Education Store. You will need a credit card. It will then be delivered to your shipping address.

Just got back my MBP! The data's all intact, thank goodness. I asked the salesperson what had been replaced exactly, but he said the service centre never furnished any details to them, just that "repairs were done". When I turned it on though, the date was reset to January, 2000/2001 (can't remember which). Hmm.

Also, I checked "About This Mac", and the video card is still the same one: NVIDIA 8600M GT. I'm a bit "eh" because what if it spoils again? And since no exact details were given on what went wrong in the first place, I've no way to know what not to do to trigger it again. Oh, well. I got it back, and my data's still all there, so it's all good-ish.

hey guys, i would like to know the way the mac share power wit the XP, like for example i was playing around wit my cousin's macbook which has 4gig of ram on it, then i switch it to XP n i check the system on the xp, it was only running on 512mb of ram. is it possible for u to adjust how much power u want the mac to give to the xp side?

and aslo if u wanna play high end games that runs on pc will the mac give up the graphic card and ram to support the game that is running on the xp? hmm.gif

are you running XP natively on your mac? if yes, what software are you using?

for parallels, goto Virtual Machine > Configure > Memory

there you can choose how much memory you'd like to set for XP..

thanks for the reply jind86 notworthy.gif

i see, so it's possible to shift the ram...um i'm not sure, it's my cousin's mac, i'm a mac virgin, and thinking of crossing over. he was running it on parallel i think, (side by side thingy mac's OS on the left XP on the right)...and how about the GPU usage? like for gaming on the XP side, will it fully dedicate it self to the XP side?

If you want to play high end games, you need to run windows by itself via bootcamp (NOT in mac osx via parallels or vmware). That way it can natively utilize the full graphics capabilities of the computer. Otherwise the only other way to do it is to use crossover or wine/darwine which sort of runs the game natively in mac osx without windows.

yup, oh but remember, you can't adjust the settings when XP is actively running..

"Note: These settings cannot be changed when the virtual machine is running."

for more info, click Help tab in Parallels and search for "RAM".. click on the first topic which appears..

yeah for gaming it is better to use Boot Camp to fully utilize your resources..

bro, just ask him to use bootcamp. Bootcamp is abit like partition magic. It lets u to create another partition and enable you to install windows on mac machine wink.gif If you want gaming, use bootcamp. Parallels or any virtualization software are NOT FOR GAMING purpose. It a pain in the ass. lulz
