Is it possible in OSX to disable the built in sound and leave only the add-in card as the one working? Maybe that would fix it.

I personally dont think there is much of a point using antivirus on a Mac just yet. I'm a PC user and only really started using antivirus in '2000 when things really started to spread. Until there are enough Mac viruses floating around, I wouldnt bother. Also for Sirstaunch, I have to say...

I'm thinking about trying to install linux again and just getting to know it as a server platform. My current server is a ancient ANCIENT dual ppro 200 box with 1gig EDO RAM, 2940uw scsi contorller, 9gig scsi boot and dual 120gig IDE on an ATA 100 controller. Its running win2k server. Its nice...

I dont know enough about OSX or macs in general but on a PC in windows, when there is more than one device, you go into system preferences and set which device you choose as your preferred playback device...meaning that both onboard and external soundcards will not be working at the same time...

I agree with you 100%. I believe if aint broke, dont fix it :) I still use Photoshop 6 and I think its great. I also use Office2000 which I think has more features than I'd ever use. I run XP on my dual xeon which would benefit due to XP's proper support for hyperthreading (so I get my 4...

I'm supposed to care about what some PSP playing 35 year old thinks? ;) And what hard hitting fasts... "its boring and ugly and I dont like it". Hey dont use that wrench on that car!!!! "how come???" ... Its boring and ugly and it doesnt inspire me. LOL. Sorry had to poke fun. I use...

Nixgeek, sorry you misunderstood. The company is still running 10.3.9. Its the users that upgraded their home machines to 10.4 when it was released and after two weeks, downgraded.

Well I personally have not tried it but at work on my 2nd box I use 10.3.9 and the graphic design dept runs the same. The guys at the design departement went out and picked up 10.4 and within 2 weeks all were frustrated for assorted reasons and went back down. One guy said that its got too many...

By real OS if you mean one that has little software selection in stores, has kernel panics at least 5x more than XP ever has bluescreens, feels heavy and sluggish on the GUI, still has permission issues that are rediculous and has terrible openGL performance for games or anything fun and who's...

LOL I said it was ugly ;) Anyway that my primary box and my B&W G3 is now my 2nd box. Anyway the point was that quicktime on the PC kinda sucks and its probably why there might be some sites not using it anymore. LOL I just thought of something. fjdouse, you have a mac mini. I think I can...

Well pengu, unless I could insure something the price of a dual G5 2.0 for say 2-3 years for $100 (price difference in the case) then I'm pretty sure I've made the right choice ;) Oh not to mention the incredible cooling its got. I was pretty amazed. Super hot running 3Ghz xeons running at...

I'm strictly a Winamp guy :) itunes is nice but it feels kinda heavy. I'm probably too picky. I want everything blindingly fast and dont like waiting for anything to happen. I'd upgrade to a faster box but I'm broke after going with this dual xeon 3Ghz setup with the 15k scsi drives and 2 gig...

Ripcord hit the nail on the head. I primarily use Windows (I have a B&W G3 but it doesnt get used often anymore)... and I cant stand quicktime anymore. I have always found quicktime to feel slow to launch and at least on windows it was always a bit buggy. I hate the nagging and to be honest, I...

I was going to suggest the same but I'm not really a mac person so much so my experience is limited... on the macs, G5's actually, is there two seperate heatsinks or one large one that sits on both? Also at work we have a couple G5 2.5's and yes, any flash page or flash banner seems to cause...

Hi MW84. Not sure what you're asking... are you asking how will a Mac compare to PC of the same clockspeed or in general? My Pentium4 3.0 Ghz is roughly equal to a dual 2Ghz G5 for photoshop (+/- 1 or 2 seconds for either cpu depending on what filters are run). My dual 3.0Ghz Xeon system is a...

That lambo looks pretty slow ;) I think I can take it on with my ford contour... if I had the ability to fold space and time. LOL. That looks pretty evil too.

I know its got nothing to do with Macs or computers but I came across these pictures and I had to share them because it definitly made me fall in love :) If this is not the nicest musclecar on earth, then I dont know what is...

When you say damage, do you mean hardware damage? I didnt think this was really possible unless there was a serious design flaw in the hardware...

I tend to do a fresh install about once a year since thats when I might buy a new board or video or processors and I tend to change apps that I use so I go ahead and install the latest and greatest anyway :) I also ghost the system just incase at that point. Love ghost :)

I think what you said does make a lot of sense. In my own case, maybe because windows is my primary OS, I like it more and put more attention and effort into system maintenance compared to my G3 so maybe thats why its more stable and vice versa. Guess if you love it, it will love you back :) LOL
