    Dual Channel Memory on MacBook Pro?

    I'm getting a MacBook when they hit the stores, and I was wondering if adding a 1gb stick to the standard 512 would be a good idea? I know that more RAM is good, but I have a feeling doing so would make it so that it wasn't running in Dual Channel mode, if such a thing exists on these guys...

    DVD to MPEG Software for Intel iMac

    In my work, I need to be able to pull video from a dvd, and be able to edit it. I'm familiar with iMovie, and that's all the editing that I'll need to do. However, my problem is that of the dvd rippers that I've tried so far, none are native to the intel cpu's. Therefore I assume it's running...

    Opty or A64

    I see the general consensus is that the Opteron is a much better CPU. I'm going to look stupid here, but why is that? I guess I'm just not sure of the difference between the two types of chips. I'm also considering picking up an Opteron 148, because I've seen reports of them being OC'd to...

    Poll: Reliability of Various Storage Drives

    1, 2. 4 yes. I think the thumbdrive was due to me dropping it too many times, but still, it seemed pretty crappy. It was when they were a fairly new development. Cost me over $100 bucks for a 128 MB drive, AT COST. Replaced for free though.

    Can someone point me in the right direction?

    Another thing, don't get suckered into buying big software right off the bat. The Final Cut suite is fabulous, but you can get excellent results from Final Cut Express, which has 90% of the features of Final Cut, but at a fraction of the cost. And then again, for many people, the included...

    Can someone point me in the right direction?

    I'd second the recommendation for going into an Apple Store. I used to work at CompUSA in college, and it's not the same experience seeing a mac there. One thing I would definitely suggest NOT doing though, is getting the Apple Cinema Display. I'd look at getting the Dell 20" if that's part...

    ATI Radeon 9800 Pro fan loud as hell

    I was having the same problem, and assumed it was my case fans. I just got a new x800xl tonight, and I could be crazy, but it seems that it is much quieter than my 9800 pro that was in there this morning. Who knows, but if it seems quieter, ignorance is bliss, i suppose. Also, I've...

    best x800xl

    I just picked up an xl tonight from the CompUSA in KC. Traded in my 9800pro due to "stability issues" and with the credit, a 25 dollar gift card I got for free in a promotion, and one of my former co-workers giving me the employee price hookup, it came to a grand total of... 32.17, w/ tax...
