Thanks for that help, but I thought there was a way to reset widgets and take them out of memory. For instance, can't you restart Dashboard and cause the wiedgets to reset and be out of memory? The disk access makes a bunch of sense, if only they put 10,000 RPM drives in iMac's... but that...

Kainjow, how much RAM do you have on your Power Mac? I just bought a iMac G5 and I love it, I'm certainly going to wait until the new Intel Dual-Core Power Mac's come out, those are going to be pretty sweet!! No probably waiting until mid-2007 or so.

Well if the iPod only has a 320x240 resolution and it plays H.264, you should only play 320x240. Especially with video that is as intensive at that, it will become very choppy if you try to go 640x480. I have an Axim x50v that has a 624mhz processor, 64MB RAM, and when I try to play .mp4 it lags...

The software could be portable and be used in the other iMac's that were older, like the one I bought last month. I asked the Apple Techie's at my Apple Store and they said they were hoping it'd be shipped on the side but were unsure. I was thinking, hey why don't I just buy Front Row (if I need...

Well, I doubt the preferences is a problem, I've reset them twice and I still get the same problem. Okay, just so that you know, I've restarted the Finder so that the widgets get reset and don't take up any Virtual Memory, HOWEVER, I'm running Firefox, streaming iTunes Radio, and downloading 6GB...

Okay, I was wondering, I have an iMac G5 with a Radeon 9600 video card and I have a Windows machine that has a GeFORCE 2 (with 32 MB VRAM!!!) and honestly, when showing my friends .avi files on VLC, the video sucks!!! It's choppy, it freezes up sometimes, is it just VLC software, or is it the...

Well, by 2007, Intel pretty much desires for 85% of the computer population to be running dual-cores, they are really pushing it, which is why the prices for dual-cores are much cheaper via intel way versus AMD. The Power Mac's will probably keep the dual-cores and it's possible that the...

Well that's a very obvious point, but the idea is that you can never have too much RAM, it will always be used, especially since I have Final Cut Pro HD and am getting Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, etc, plus to be able to watch .avi's on top of that while listening to iTunes. Anyways, thanks...

If you don't need a laptop go with an iMac. I just bought my first Mac, a 20" 2 GHZ, 512MB RAM, iMac G5 and I LOVE IT!!! It's the best computer I could have bought. The iMac's give enough power to get famiilar with the operating system and have fun using it to a great extent, but not delving too...

Actually since Intel is moving away from the "Netburst" Pentium 4 achitecture, they'll be moving to a new one called "Conroe" which means short pipelines in the processor and they will reduce their speed as well to reduce power consumption (mainly because the Pentium 4's consumed some 250+ WATTS...

Thanks that's exactly what I was wondering, I see the optical mini-jack in the back and I didn't know how 5.1 could spring from just that one cable, but I'll do some more research on the Mini Toslink from Monster probably. Thanks for the information!

Well with all the news at Tom's Hardware, I can't see Intel doing that just yet, they just released Paxville (dual-core) yesterday which is only for servers and the Conroe processor achictecture is coming out in 2006 2nd quarter, which should be when the Mac's should start putting them in...

Thanks for the information, I'm thinking of purchasing a Gig this week to bump it up to 1.5GB and later down the road in about 9 months going to buy another gig to push it to 2. Thanks for all the help guys. Again, do single-core processors need dual-channel configured memory? (2x1GB or just buy...

Well, if not mistaken that's like the "Task Manager" for Windows, it shows all the processes and applications running, well processes is a little more intricate. Yeah I finally found the "Virtual Memory" tab under OS X. I'm using 7GB for Virtual Memory, if what I saw was correct. Widgets take a...

No, this isn't an announcement, but I'm wondering. I just got a iMac G5 2GHZ, 512MB RAM, 20" screen, Superdrive, etc. I'm wondering, I want the new Logitech Z-5450 that have rear wireless speakers but I don't know if they will work on the Mac, can anyone give me an answer? Thanks a bunch!

Okay, first post here and I'm excited to be part of the group!!! I have a new iMac G5 (got it two weeks ago) and I'm a convert from Windows XP. I have always appreciated Macs, just never took the plunge until now and I am NEVER GOING BACK!! Anyways, I was wondering, in OS 9 when you pull up the...
