I've been doing some benchmarks and i get troubling results: -startup (from chime to Desktop): 1:Older (big) partition: 2'05'' 2:Cloned system: 42'' -PS7: 1:41'' 2:30'' -Office X. Hard to say, but launching Entourage fron cloned system takes too times less. Word opens in 2-3 sec. I...

No way. My big partition has been degragmented on a regular basis. It's not a defrag issue. Actually nothing i can think of, besides the partition size hypothesis. vic

Partition size, as a matter of fact... Well, it's simple: I did a clone of my 10.2.6 system to another partition with Carbon Copy Cloner, and restarted from the new cloned system. The speed difference was amazing, couldn't believe it! Everything takes about 50% less time to launch, open...

Simply put: Jaguar can't really detect my external CD-RW. Everything used to work fine in OSX 10.1, though. My QPS FireWire 8x4x32 CD-RW (Samsung mechanism) has always been detected by the system, and i could burn CDs, from the Finder or Toast, no probs. Since Jaguar, things are strange...

the best way to impress people from the dark side is to put a PC box and a new iMac side by side and ask the bastards to LOOK at them... vic:cool:

Hi In X.1, we all knew the trick of moving the swap file to another disk or partition to increase launching apps. in my case by 25%. Now i'm on Jaguar and i'm not sure the trick is still neded, or even possible. Thanks for answers Vic.:cool:

it will run fine, but get as many RAM as you can.

you ain't see nothing yet. try Mozilla Gestures

1 fps? i usually get 14-17 fps in iTunes with full screen. i have an iMac DVSE 500, with the usual ATIRage128. i use the last 10.1.5 :cool:

I tried the demo. Great app, great sounds. But i couldn't find any Record to Disk option. May be it was disabled in the demo version? I would like to be sure before thinking to buy it! Thanks

The best game for X is Snood You have to run Classic to play it, though:D

Mozilla 1.0 RC2 is the best

For Epson scanners, look at a recent Mac OS FixIt post. Epson scanners works in all X apps by using TWAIN drivers.:)

i have a Que! Fire 8x4x32 and it works great, both with OS9 and OSX. You don't need any drivers. In OS9, firewire drives are supported by the firewire set extensions. In OSX, all firewire drives are supported, including Que! burners. What exactly is your problem? :cool:

better use a hammer:D
