using win 7 pro (32 and 64)
it does give problem, as the driver is not design for win 7, it may crash
i had experiences on both 32 and 64 bit

ram utilize and backward compatibility
if you run win 7 pro, you can use virtual xp mode
yet to try out cuz me running in 32 bit win 7 pro currently, my softwares works fine.

it wont void the warranty
you can change yourself, WD scorpio blue is quite famous here

yes, just the first time.
driver is important when your os wanna drive the hardware.

HDMI 1.4 can
but still not mainstream for computer

Added on November 29, 2009, 8:27 pmthis is mainly because, if you put hDMI, you probably have to put a VGA port at the same time, which is not the case for apple, cuz with VGA, impossible to have all the way thin (as in an inch) laptop

what they did is better option from me, mini display port, capable to converter to whatever port with adapter
HDMI 1.3 (which is common now) cannot output 30" LCD monitor.

everyone knows it's about resolution, ver 1.4 can output 4k max

FW400 is not 4pin, it's 6 pin
4 pin is know as iLink (refer by SONY) or 1394

if your videocam use iLink, look for iLink to FW400, then use the sonnet adapter

i got one
but firewire400 only
cost rm110 couple year back
but forget the brand now

still 4 pin firewire cant power up device (ideally)

RM2800 just for RAM

MacPro ECC RAM is still cheaper

uk is selling for £67 @ amazon for 500GB

izzit this one
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002H9X...&pf_rd_i=468294

the problem is
which autocad you're running at?
64bits system (assume you run it via bootcamo windows)

found that his gpu works better, looks like something wrong with me

Added on July 26, 2010, 7:59 pmFIrst thing first, mac is already affordable, if u can afford it, means you're never ready for any laptop within these price, still look for a laptop cost rm1/2k. You rather throw it away.

Secondly, there is someyhjgn called installment, no need you to take 7 years to save money

---

Added on July 26, 2010, 8:02 pmIf u need 7 year saving to get a laptop/ computer, then a suggest for u, change your financial management. By this rate, it's quite hard to buy anything, like cars or houses

Unless u're saying getting a mac pro. But if u use for work, ask your boss

Video editing, depends how extensive you gonna be

At least take the hdd like mine, the best if you can use RAID system.
