    ATI or GeForce ?

    The NV30 is the GeForce FX. The Radeon 9700 is FAR superior to the GeForce4 Ti, but slightly slower than the GeForce FX. From Tom's Hardware: The GeForce4 Ti really lags behind the latest cards with FSAA and Anisotropic filtering enabled. However, with the advanced effects disabled...

    If You're a Gamer...

    I could get a console, but I like PC gaming a lot more. I enjoy the super high resolution screen of a PC, I like mouse control a lot more than a game pad, I like being able to download additional content off the internet, and I like not having to buy a brand-new library of games every time I...

    .dmg files... what are those?

    The DMG file may be corrupted, meaning that there is information missing from the file, or the file type may just be wrong. You could try opening Disk Copy in /Applications/Utilities/ then dragging the corrupted DMG file onto Disk Copy's main window. If that doesn't work, the file may just be...

    If You're a Gamer...

    Personally, I love Macs. They're very stable and easy to use. I think the Mac is the best platform for anything--except for one thing. I plan to keep my Mac, and when I have the money, buy a PC for gaming. If you're a Mac user and a gamer, do you own a PC for gaming?

    Best Webpage Ever!

    This would have to be the best website I've ever seen. It has great information, a wonderful appearance, and it's very easy to navigate. Check the screenshot! :p

    Woohoo for ATi! Control panel - FINALLY!

    To my interests and budget this is most definately the very best announcement at MW Expo this year. From Inside Mac Games: Woohoo! The biggest complaint I've had with Mac gaming is that FSAA, Anisotropic Texture Filtering, etc. support is not system-wide. When that control panel is released...

    Did anyone else mentioned this about 10.2.3?

    I heard that the biggest change in the latest version of OpenGL is support for texture compression.

    Virtual PC 6 Questions.

    I don't think that VPC will run decently at all. I played around with VPC 5 at a Mac store a while ago, and even on the top-notch Mac it was running on, Windows XP ran unacceptably. Win2k may run better than XP, and the 25% boost that VPC 6 allegedly features may help, I still think that...

    10.2.3

    The new update seems to have made everything a little faster - applications launch faster (System Preferences in less than a bounce) scrolling is faster (especially noticable in Photoshop), and loading pages in Chimera is faster. So that probably means that there's still some optimization...

    New Apple Movies (Ads...?)

    SpyMac pointed me to some new Apple movies showcasing Mac OS X Jaguar. Seem pretty neat, and I spotted this heading in the man's email inbox in the Junkmail movie... Anyway, anyone have ideas to what these movies are? Possibly new ads? Are they bagging the 'Switch' campaign? I don't know...

    GeForce or Not to GeForce, that is the question...

    Eh, probably the best choice. By the time I have the $400 needed to buy it it'll probably be released anyway. I did some thinking, and I was really leaning towards a GeForce 4 Ti. But it would have to be bought off of eBay, and driver updates are released far and few between by Apple...

    GeForce or Not to GeForce, that is the question...

    Hi there! I'm thinking of buying a graphics card. I have a GF4MX right now, and I'm thinking of getting a GF4Ti off eBay. What kind of performance gain can I expect? I've seen all the bechmarks, but they're run on 2x 1GHz or 2x 1.25Ghz machines, which can't really be compared to my 933 (I...

    To All Newbies/learning People Of C++...

    Hi there! I bought a book, Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X, and it's a very informative resource. It starts in the beginning (you know - "What's a function?" or "How do I store a variable?") and works its way up to moderately complex things. You create working programs, so the sense of...

    PB/IB vs RealBasic?

    RB is pretty powerful. There's many features in there that I've never touched. But there are things that can be pretty difficult to do. Although, many of those things can be solved with plugins. It can build for OS 9, OS X, and Windows. The one major drawback is it's slowness. The interface...
