    Macbook (May 2010) Ram

    Does anyone know why my SSD seems to be performing more slowly? I think I've only had the Mac for 10 days and start up times are a lot longer and shut down went from 3 seconds to 15 seconds. I am not sure if it's b/c I partitioned the drive to try to install WinXP and I did have Starcraft II...

    Macbook (May 2010) Ram

    Yeah, I just ordered that ram from Amazon yesterday. Should be here tomorrow. I'm just a student so I thought 8GB would be overkill. I just wanted the 4GB to run Lion smoothly. Thanks for the response though!

    WWDC 2011

    So, I got a younger sister who has spent a fair amount of money for her music. She doesn't back anything up. She spilled coffee on her Macbook and it died.

    Clicking coming from new laptop (Dell)

    Is that program necessary? I believe you can go to Acoustic or whatever settings in the Bios. Is it advised not to mess with the Bios from the Bios?

    700m Vista

    well the built in driver doesnt let me run like a video file on my external monitor. That's basically all I want. I got Vista for free b/c engineers get a free copy here at my university. I thought I just run it since it's free. Any idea if the xp driver for the integrated graphics would work?

    600m display problem

    I knew this. But when I went to display adapters, it would say ATI Radeon 9000 but whenever I rebooted and it's enabaled, the screen would go black after Windows loaded. Same thing would happen if I downloaded a driver from Dell or the omega drivers. Is it a hardware issue?
