    Mini Upgrade: 1.50 ghz Overclock and new hard drive (80GN)

    Just want to confirm. To go to 1.42 all I have to do it REMOVE resistors R362, R355. That's it? I'm comfortable with cracking the case open (I've added the wireless and RAM previously), so literally, pop those out and voila? It looks like they're 2 resistors soldered together (2x1), or is each...

    Star Wars III Made on Mac?

    It all started with a Mac Plus and a 20MB hard drive (Summer of '88). From there it was on to an LCIII. I sold that and got the IIci, then a Quadra 700. The 700 was that cat's meow. I went hog wild with that purchase, I bought the One Scanner and a Laserwriter 630 (with Photograde and ethernet)...

    Star Wars III Made on Mac?

    Who's trolling? I can't own a Mac and poke fun of the zealotry of your basic Mac bigot? So typical of the Mac faithful. Steve Jobs could make fun of Mac users and they'd throw him out on his a$$.

    Aren't you supposed to insert the comment here about "for getting real work done, he's using his Mac?" That always seems to be the Mac bigot line...

    How to Install...

    Just picked up the Mac Mini Airport Extreme/Bluetooth kit (M9870Z/A). I've found one reference "how-to" install, but it lacks pictures and any detailed info. Anyone else done this? Anyone have advice or references to the Apple documention that describes this installation? Thanks, S

    Really want to leave work...

    I just bought one at my local CompUSA. $99. It's in an unmarked white box with a little label describing what's in it. I've only found one link with a "how-to" and 1 or 2 unworking links to the official Apple how-to, does anyone have another link to the Apple documention? Thanks, S

    2405 Video Input Problem

    So I finally got the 2405 after weeks of waiting. It's absolutely flawless, nary a dead pixel. So last week I decided to run a video (S-Video and Composite) feed from my Dish Network box so that I can have PiP while at the computer. I tried composite first, only to see the 'No Input' message. I...

    XFX 6800 can't change clockspeed at ALL?!?

    I had the same problem. Don't unlock the pipes and shaders before oc'ing. OC FIRST then unlock the pipes/shaders. Go back and lock them up and reboot. Go to the HP 3D section of RivaTuner and then start bumping them up. I've got mine comfortably up to 400/785, then I unlocked the pipes/shaders...

    Unlocking 6800 pipelines with RivaTuner

    I got my FXF 6800 today from newegg (ordered Monday for $234). Mine has a mfg date of May 04. Here are my results. Initial 3dMark05 score with BFG 6600GT - 3197 Initial 3dMark05 score with FXF 6800NU - 3238 Not much improvement but it gets better. The version of RivaTuner I downloaded...

    What to buy tonight...right now!!!!!

    So what steps did you take to get your results? I was reading another thread that mentioned OC'ing first and then trying to unlock the extra 4 pipes. Any difference?

    What to buy tonight...right now!!!!!

    So thanks for all the advice. I satisfied my immediate desires by purchasing the BFG 6600GT at CompUSA for the $229. But not being satisifed with that, I also purchased the XFX 6800NU from newegg for $5 more. That arrives on Thursday. I'll evaluate the 2 and return the 6600GT soon after. My...

    What to buy tonight...right now!!!!!

    So I looked for the 6800NU, am I just ignorant and stupid or does NU mean the vanilla version? Is it worth the $ to go 6800 vs 6600GT. Sh!t, I've been reading this stuff for a week and now I'm venturing into an area I didn't read up on. I gotta figure this out by morning. And yes, I'm searching...

    What to buy tonight...right now!!!!!

    Ok, I was all set to drop $250 at CompUSA for a BFG 6600GT. It's a got a $20 rebate so the price was $230 plus tax in my hands tomorrow morning. But after reading more and more reviews and seeing the XFX 6600GT at newegg.com for $158 after rebate, I'm now asking myself, "If I spend $250 what can...

    2405 Wow!

    I was driving into the neighborhood when I saw Brown go by, I about went up over the curb turning around to catch him. Sure enough, my 24" beauty was in the back. I just experienced nirvana about 3 hours ago, this thing is absolutely worth the money, even if you pay full price. I'm just sitting...
