I picked up a used powerbook G4 on craigslist for $10 a few days ago. Its certainly far from the newest and it can't run the latest version of OSX, but it'll at least allow you to experience what a mac is like and tinker with it - for next to nothing.

I was having similar issues with my Xonar Essence about a year ago. I noticed that if i rotated the headphone plug while in the jack, there was slight static and changes in volume. I applied some contact cleaner to my headphone plug, stuck it in and out of the port a few times (no jokes...

Yes it would.

Anyone else notice how the textures look sharper than what you find in most games today... and Unreal was meant to be played on a Voodoo1 with 2mb of texture memory.

I agree with everything said here.

The display remembers whatever brightness it was last set at. If you can find another computer to plug it into using USB, you can set the brightness there, and then bring it back to your main PC and it will stay at that brightness. Or just find someone with any mac (laptop or desktop), and do...

The Apple stores in my area are loaded with movies on the hard drive for your viewing pleasure. And even if they aren't, just head over to apple.com/trailers, and try any of the 1080p trailers there and see what happens. You can also bring games loaded on a USB stick or portable hard drive...

Do you have an apple store nearby? If yes, just stop on by and take a look at the 27" iMacs, which have the same exact panel. You can even install stuff on them like games if you want to be really through in your inspection. Most of us here will assure you that you won't have any complaints...

I love the way the dungeons all have this unique, hand crafted feel (something that Oblivion didn't have). However, it seems Skyrim took a serious step backwards when it came to quests. The quests are few in number, and what few exist are very boring. Oblivion may have had its flaws, but it...

There was one of these exact threads just 2 weeks ago: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1662212 Lots of info there.

Is the space combat at least a simulation, like it was back in the Starfleet Command era games back in the 90's? You know, adjusting power between different systems, priority to repairs, etc..

I have the same combination and it works just fine for me. Maybe its iTunes?

Is there any specific reason you need the sub? If music is your thing, you would be better suited with a 2.0 setup like the M200's.

There is no display driver. Windows autodetects it as 'LED Cinema'. If you are having trouble, try installing the latest drivers for your video card.

The only blurring/smearing i've ever noticed is in top-down games such as Starcraft when I am panning around the map, or 2d sidescrollers; and even then its minimal. Although i'm sure its still occurring in other games as well, I have never once noticed it, nor has it detracted from the game...
