RaphaelVinceti just for info, Safari does do tabbed browsing, you just need to turn it on by going to Preferences, and tick Enable Tabbed Browsing! Glow, just by the Macbook, you honestly wont regret it. I have converted 5 people over to Macs and everyone of them wont go back to Windows...

I would say it was the processor that was causing the problem, it has overheated while running without the HSF and has caused permanent damage. Years ago I was trying to overclock a 1Ghz Athlon and also ran that without the HSF on, I didnt realise how quick processors heated up, the PC shut...

You might be interested to know I went from a P4 3.2Ghz to my dual 2.7G5. I have not regreted the expense of the decision at all. It is a dream to use, fast, quiet and sexy! Get the best one you can afford, put some more ram in it and you will be a happy camper!!

Yes it was playing from the drive because I did a reset between each session of viewing the trailer.

JediFonger, I downloaded the HD trailer, played it on my machine, that were a couple of gltches when playing from the Maxtor drive, but I copied the file to the Raptor drive and put my Processors onto highest, they were previously on Slowest, it played perfectly and didnt use more than 60 %...

Thanks for the link! I shall try it today. I like to have a fast computer, I was fed up with PC's, I have owned a Powerbook, a Mac Mini and now the beast. It is so fast and so well made that it is a pleasure to use. I dont use it for any work related activities purely personal and fun...

I have read that there can be problems with playback on the 2.7 using the stock Maxtor drive, it can make the video stutter, I shall try downloading the trailer and watching it on mine to see what it is like.

Yes it certainly wasnt cheap, you can get cars in good condition for less than I paid for that. What with the computer, monitor and the upgrades etc for it, i paid around £3000. But it is so worth it!

The G5 is lovely, it is really quick. It currently has 2.5gb of RAM and a WD raptor boot drive, both of which arnt shown in the picture. It boots OSX in around 4 seconds after the grey Apple screen goes. To actually own one of these after wanting one when they first came out is a total...

Here is a pic of my current Dualie !!! I used to have a dual Athlon MP2000 years ago but this is far better. Patman, as you wanted to see a real life G5 inside here is one, it is my Dual 2.7 I love it!

Hi all, To any one considering weather the extra money for the Apple screen over the Dell is worth it, the answer is a definate YES. I bought the Dell 2005FPW which I returned for a replacement because of problems with the backlight and panel in general to get a later revision with even...

I have had 4 HD quicktime trailers play on my PM Dual 2.7 G5 all were playing smoothly!!

Macs are bad news. I had a Rev A Powerbook which I sold and just used PC's, then I bought the Apple 20" monitor 2 weeks ago which is simply gorgeous. Well that was it... I have since bought a Mac Mini, and am contemplating buying a Powermac. Believe me it is best not to buy an Apple product...

I had a 12" 867Mhz Powerbook, my battery died after a year. The battery had, had very little use as it spent most of its life on the mains. My friend who bought the Powerbook from me, replaced the battery with one from ebay and that was just as bad as the original one. Ok the battery was...
