So guys JB Machines not good? I was thinking either get under EPP or JB machines  Do i need to get 4GB RAM under Apple Certified or i should wait longer for Open Market Ram's? Do 2GB sufficient enough for MBP with some video conversion/surfing/movies?

QUOTE(Edoras @ Jan 31 2009, 06:45 PM) If its pre-configured for Mac, you can use it immediately... i haven go through the manual yet. But it stated compatibility for Mac OS X 10.4.8 where formatted for Macintosh~ so this means im able to run this hdd in both different system (PC /Mac)?

Indeed calibre said is true~ if u on tight budget may conside new Aluminium 2.0Ghz at RM4799 where the higher end model cost RM5899. The difference are backlid keyboard + processor + larger hdd but u paying extra RM1100  Macbook Pro base model at RM7199 comes with 15.4" screen +dedicated graphic card + backlid keyboard. MBP 2.4Ghz (rm7199) > MB 2.4Ghz (rm5899)> MB 2.0Ghz (rm4799) >= MB 2.0Ghz White (rm3699)

QUOTE(Masamune @ Feb 6 2009, 12:09 PM) hey guys.. My WD book 1TB is always connected to PC.. Now that i got my mac..in my mac i can't delete any files.. I check "get info" and i see my permissions is read only.. From what i googled..its because its in NTFS format right.. I have to format to FAT32 right.. But the data inside so much ler.. I can't seem to back them up..1TB ler.. Any other choices? ------------- i have the same situation as yours bro...but mine comes with pre-install Mac HFS...where i cant detect at my PC..so i format it to NTFS ( i should format in FAT32)  for hassle free~ Anyway as what others said...using "NTFS-3G" will work~ so it shouldn't be a prob

@cRazYee
Regarding the Sound Card for Mac..im having doubt too where how good is the built in sound for MBP? how is the SQ? and the sound deliver via the speakers?
I was checking on the Creative sound card too, coz i using PCM for my PC..too bad there's no infor for Express card Sound Blaster X-Fi supporting Mac OS X.

well im not a crazy Audiophiles, but i love nice sq from movies to music Therefore, my laptop is hooked up with Creative PCMCIA sound blaster Audigy 2 ZS for better sq in various output If there's a ext Sound Card can boost the quality of MBP (without using usb) that will be excellent I found this on the web/ and some discussion via Macrumors  Mac and PC compatible; class compliant with Mac OS X 10.3.9 and higher  This cost $249.95 SourceThis post has been edited by terencetoo: Feb 8 2009, 09:02 PM
