Use the Apple System Profiler in Utilities to find the clock speed.

I just finished my first iMovie which ended up being about 6 minutes long, and a whopping 1.1 GB big! (In QT format) Is there a way to make this file any less space-consuming? I have Stuffit Deluxe, can I use that?

I've heard a lot about certain Macs being "underclocked" by Apple, and many people have said that a TiBook 550 can be overclocked to 667 MHz pretty easily. Anyone know if this is true? Also, my 550 only has a 100 MHz bus, and I'd like to overclock that to 133. Is this possible?

I can find mine when I go home from school, I'm sure. I'll give you an update in a few days. :D

I just upgraded my Powerbook to 1 gig so I have the old 256 MB module that the Book came with. It's a 550 MHz/100 processor. I'll take any reasonable amount since I really don't need it anymore.

yoyo, how much would you be looking for with the iMac? I could use a desktop but I don't have much to spend.

Here's another example: http://news.com.com/2100-1023-979583.html There's tons of this stuff. All the ads I saw were for either Intel, or Microsoft. That's whack! =D Almost seems like Microsoft bought their support?

I admit that I didn't read the entire thread, so someone may have mentioned this already, but: Has anyone else noticed the neverending cycle of Microsoft ads at the top of that page?

Right on mindbend! I think it's all about OS X - That's really what makes Apple a better system than Windows. I feel no need at all for a G5 5 gigahertz processor, I am just fine with my G4 550, and I probably would be with a G3 233 just as well, I love this operating system, and no one's ever...

Personally I think that the 12 incher is cooler than the 17" :) And anyways... we all know where the keys go! I could type in the dark, blindfolded, with my hands cut off! Maybe...

It plays DVDs and burns CDs. Doesn't burn DVDs, you're thinking of a SuperDrive. I think so. Probably ebay is the best place.

bacchus, do you have AIM/ICQ? I'd like to talk to you personally about the tower (no LCD included).

And their hot cheerleader won 25 grand for charity. O What a Night :)

For everyone - pbparts.com does indeed sell individual keys. They can be found under "case parts" as the last items in the lists. Pricey, at 5-20 dollars for a key. But better than a new keyboard. (This market is a gold mine - If you're an entrepeneur, I'd start buying keyboards and selling...

It seems like these should be really simple to replace - all they are is little keys, I don't even want a new keyboard! If I just get new keys that aren't broken they will just pop back on.
