^ poison. lol

i knew in three years my raid 0 nas set up thet i placed at my rents was going to be outdated but being beaten by a goflex?! oh the humanity.

xandman, could i know what programs are you referring to? and by slow do you mean while multitasking or basic load time.

funny, a placebo affect would be you thinking that it runs faster :P

anyways, did you perform an smc reset after installing the ram? a pram reset wouldn't hurt too, methinks

also as stringfellow pointed out, you'd feel the performance boost more from an ssd upgrade as apposed to a ram upgrade. even though the improvement is there.

that and depending on usage, this might be a good read.

with just firefox, a 720p movie, itunes and jdownloader downloading my weekly shows in the background i've still 1gb of memory to spare.



of course it's a whole different story when the movie's replaced with photoshop and or maya running. to which i'm thinking of a ram and ssd upgrade myself.

be sure to do a thorough research prior to purchasing, as some ssd's just would not see eye to eye with certain mbp models, that and speed limitations. i.e <mbp 2011's doesn't support sata 3 speeds and so on :)

benchmark report ≠ real life figures :P

raid ssd = no trim though, right ._.?

shakes fist at all three posters above*

hush! as brilliant as that was begone you siren. i'm adamant on updating my 21ux to a 24hd and that's that! getting an ssd would mean me having to eat my own cooking for a month




refer to the memory tab. that's what your ram's timings are at. the spd tab simply shows the possible timings at various common frequencies.

could you elaborate on how exactly does the graphics suck?

refer to the underscan bit in the below link for screen not fitting.

for font being all wonky try system pref > general > font smoothing right down low.

you could also change the colour profile. if the colours looks "messed up".

you've no idea how much i'm inclined to strangle you right now. lol so are we searching for a new monitor now?

i was looking at the thunderbolt display but i think i'll stick to my plan to upgrade my tablet first. currently using a samsung sa950.

if you're looking for hires monitors, it's either dell or the thunderbolt display, but i just have this thing against dell.

32bit windows. it'll only utilize 3gb ram ._o you sure it showed 4gb when using your old sticks?

you could also use a thunderbolt to displayport cable (or rather mini dp to full dp cable) correct? because iirc the u2711 has a full dp port.

between trying to work on a logo for a client, playing catherine on the ps3 and replying to this thread, my brain is in a bigger jumble than ever atm #_#

osx is a 64 bit .. well os. while your windows is currently 32bit. it'll only utilize up to 3gb of ram.


ditto. but i myself can't deny the fact that for cost effectiveness, dell topples the rest. if only samsung would update their hi-res lineups soon.

yeah, even if on ms' site it states the following -



there's a clear difference between what it'll recognize, and utilize. the latter is what you're seeing, which is 3~gb

could you state the exact model of your 23" samsung? samsung isn't exactly "cap ayam" >_<"
