This is probably a reeeaaalllllllly old question - can you install PC PCI, AGP and PCI-e cards in a Mac? Apple pretty much uses all the same standards as the PC world (Hypertransport for the G5, I think), PCI, AGP, USB, blablabla........ Heck, the new Intel Macs are just shiny PCs with a...

Nice comment about the forum taking on a life of it's own, keith245. I kinda saw it spiralling out of control myself, what with the unfortunate guy who opened this thread being mercilessly berated for installing Windows on his Mac...........we need to remember that the forum is here to help...

Linux has long been thought to be an OS for geeks and computing professionals - it is still thought of as a hard-to-use command-line oriented OS (though it need not be with such GUIs as KDE and so forth). Also, Linux, though easily usable by today's standards, got "useable" a lot later than...

Obviously, the last thing any Mac fan wants to do is use Windows on his shiny new Apple computer, but such is the developer support for the scourge of computing known as Windows that salvation (ehm, Mac OS X) is not always an option................. Sure, Bootcamp is the best way to go on an...

Any idea where there's a list of incompatibilities with UFS on OS X? So far, I've only read about Airport not working on a UFS drive and the inability to permanently change the name of the startup volume from "/" in OS X 10.0 only............

Mac OS X is a Unix-derived OS and supports the use of partitions formatted in the Unix File System (UFS). Why does this matter? Because free Windows drivers for reading UFS partitions are easily available, versus commercial solutions for reading HFS partitions (eg. TransMac). Small things like...

I do have SP2 installed; I'll try the cross-over cable in a while; anyway, is there any other explanation?

New macs, unless I am misinformed, are just Intel computers with slick packaging and an EFI instead of a BIOS......which means that most (maybe not airport) of the hardware in your computer is standard Intel Centrino stuff....Hell, even the Core Duo chips are simply dual-core Pentium-Ms;anyway...

please post your replies in my other thread "can't move files from Mac to PC but only from PC to Mac!!??" in the networking section. I started another thread because I couldn't change the confusing name I gave this thread........

I've been trying to share files between my PC running Windows XP and my iMac Rev D running OS X 10.2.8 for a while using Samba. File transfer from the PC to the Mac is effortlessly easy, but trying copy files from the Mac to the PC results in the well-known "error -36" on the Mac and a hung...
