Update on the boot-camp issue I was having a little while ago...

I freed up about 50G worth of space, and opened the apps that seemed to be causing me problems with fragmentation of files. I assume this let my Mac do its own little defrag thing that it does for files under 5Meg.

Turns out I managed to get a partition of 7G for boot camp seperated from the rest of my hard drive, and I am now proceeding to install Windows. However, as as soon as I see windows load it's keyboard drivers onto the new partition, I lose all keyboard power and control. This prevents me from installing windows the rest of the way.

So I'm gonna wait till a friend on my floor returns with their USB keyboard and give it a whirl using that. I've heard rumors on the apple.com support boards that this might work.

Oh well, I'll update again if anything new happens.

Turns out my old version of XP that i had lying around was SP1. Therefore Bootcamp was shitting all over me and was not tested to work with SP1.

Fun Fact : Windows CD's that are pre SP2 do not state that they are SP1 or 2. It would have been like saying WWI before knowing there was WWII....it was simply called the great war.

I'm gonna grab XP from a friend, because I know for sure that he has SP2.

Just another chapter in my Windows/Mac saga...I'll probably post again if I get it up an running...maybe a picture of me giving the old Bliss a rework with my MacBook Pro as a frame.

lemme join!

Just hope that you can bypass the pruduct key or that your friend has a version that has an unused product key and for the other two who wanted in you're in

Everything but Mac Pro and Mac mini (which added a 1.83Ghz core duo) is now Core 2 and the wait for Panther is still painfully long and theres a TV modlue coming out around the same time

alpple is really good at keeping secrets nothing new can be annouced until it actually comes out

Does anyone else hate apples mouses? they break easy, no right click (I hate pressing control) and they look dumb...

I just use a universal mouse... I'm also pretty you can just hold down when you click and it'll act as though you right clicked (if that makes sense)...

Sweet success! I tried my friends copy of Windows XP and it worked wonderfully. The setup worked great and the drivers installed perfectly.

I've already installed Doom 3 and I'm running it with medium/high quality without any loss of framerate. My old PC was struggling with 64MB while my MBP only has 128MB video memory, but I suppose RAM and the processor have a lot to do with it.

I'll try and help out anybody that feels like trying boot camp in the future!

I have never used a right click in my life since they only really became relevant with the internet now I have been conditioned with trackpads

I'm not gonna post this in general because it would be like asking to catch flak.

I figure you guys would get a kick out of this. I definately did not expect this.

Best Buy now sells Macs!!!!

Think it will be part of their boxing day sale? Not likely :(
Mac's control their prices very well unfortunately. Or fortunately....at least I never feel ripped off by seeing a better price :P

Anyways, all this time I've been playing around with my MBP, I've only had 512MB of Ram for the poor little thing. So for x-mas I managed to grab another Gig and now I'm coasting at 1.5G, which isn't bad considering this only supports up to 2G.

I'll try and explain the difference it made... I was able to open as fast as I could click*harumph*... Mail, iTunes, iPhoto, iDvd, iMovie, Garageband, Calender, Photo Booth, and Microsoft word while still having 377 MB of "Free" memory, and seeing no slowdown of loading times for giants like Garageband. (As there is a difference between free and inactive...free is untouched while inactive has been used to open a program and is on reserve for quick use incase you flip back to it.)

Anyways, programs seem to close much faster, which is often why I get frustrated at slowdowns.

On my Windows side, not much I can say in terms of benchmarking...other than before I was able to play Doom 3 on average settings with a fair frame rate (25-30), but for some reason I am now able to play it on Ultra (recommended 512MB video memory) with about the same framerate. This is especially surprising because it means that my Ram was holding me back, instead of my meagre 128MB video card. All I can assume is that my 128MB video card is doing an excellent job of keeping up.

Meh, these changes only come every now and then... All I can really say is that I highly recommend having over 1G of Ram now for any Macbook...Pro or otherwise. It was well worth the....well...I don't know cause the Ram was a gift!

Yeah, the New iTV or whatever that they're releasing (presumably at the same time as Panther) sounds awesome.

I wonder how they're going to work that. Do you suppose it'll be like a TiVo DVR or something? It'll be interesting to see. I'll probably buy one regardless, seeing as I'm a big Mac/Apple fan.

Also, to all members of the Mac club, what was the first version of Mac OS that you used and when did you use it?

I first had Mac OS 7.3 in 1994. I remember the codename was "Big Bang" or something. I thought it was really revolutionary at the time, and that's what really got me into Macs in the first place. It was miles ahead of any PeeCees at the time at least...

Until Next time fare thee well. :)

This thread needs more regular posters. Plus its my birthday today. Perhaps I have a shiny package containing a New Macintosh. :O

Probably not. :)

Does Tom Fulp use Macs? Visit this fat-pie.com (David Firth's site) link and see - he is using OS X. Or is this just on Attack Of The Show? Pause after about 10 seconds.

The current MBP's support up to 3Gigs of RAM I myself with the core duo model maxed out to 2GB but at this point you start to see why boosting the RAM is so damn expensive

Hey, checked out a Mac a couple of days ago! price= 1200 euros, i'm still a bit noobish on the whole computer processor thingies, but i saw something of 250 gig, and alot of cool things i tend to forget, but it had a core 2 thingy..so i guess thats goowd :p
not for right now, but, later on the year certainly...it said i would get everything in it (i think a screen included...is that possible for that price?)

Cheers
