    G5 Extra Graphics Card Recommendation

    You don't need a new videocard, yours already supports dual monitors. You can buy an ADC to VGA adaptor, and a DVI to VGA adaptor, total cost for both, around $50-70 depending on where you buy them. Brian

    Help - iMac too Slow for 6MP Digital Rebel Photos

    A few questions: Has it always been this slow in iPhoto or has it gotten slower? How many images do you have in iPhoto? Have you used any of the tricks to speed up iPhoto such as turning off shadows and borders and closing film roles? What application in XP was so fast for what you were...

    I think I typed some bad unix :(

    .bash_profile is for bash what .profile is to sh/ksh. They use .bash_profile so sh/ksh doesn't get pissed if you run them and have bash commands that aren't compatible with sh/ksh in .profile. Brian

    Another cnet article bashing apple

    XGrid makes making small clusters simple. XGrid is not usable for a cluster that has 100 different nodes, let alone 1,000 nodes. Clustering technology doesn't scale very well, what works for 5 hosts won't work for 500, different technologies are used. This is not even to mention the...

    Now that the powerbook is here...(weigh in your opinion)

    1) keep one big partition. The only benefit you'll really get from having multiple, it's easier to have multiple copies of OS X installed, say you can do a CarbonCopyClone from one partition to another, and upgrade that copy, if the upgrade fails, you just boot to the original. 2) Copy them :)...

    802.11g solution for iBook G3?

    The linksys WUSB54G is a USB 802.11G adaptor. It is powered off of the USB bus, just velcro it to the lid of the laptop. It works with both USB 1.1 and USB 2.0. Now, if it works with OS X is unknown, you can give it a try tho. Brian

    Cool iPhoto 4 feature for .Mac users

    Just noticed on the main .Mac page that iPhoto 4 has a feature I've been dieing for. It now has the ability to edit previously published albums on your .Mac account. No having to use the crappy web based editing tool! I hope iLife arrives at my house on Friday.... Brian

    scsi on a G5

    PCI-X is backwards compatible with PCI. PCI-X is just an extension to PCI, think of it like USB 1.1 and USB 2.0, ones faster then the other, but they use the same connectors, and are backwards compatible. Brian

    FASTEST SCSI CD-RW/BOOT FOR LEGACY MACs

    Well, if you want to drop around $200 or so, you can get a plextor 40x12x40x scsi cdrw drive. Or, you can spend around $40 and get an HP 32x4x8x scsi cdrw drive. Depends on what you want to spend :) Brian
