I understand your point fryke - and i won't discuss it any further. You are right, I want to play some games. But I am not into the "high end graphic titles". So I guess the macbook pro is the better choise then for this purpose.

Intel integrated graphics is the bottom of the GPUs right now. Even the low end nvidia and ATI (ok ATI has been eaten by AMD - it still is a own brand) offerings outperform the Intel IG. (and I hate GPUs which use system RAM with a passion) Concerning your Powerbook. The G4 architecture is how...

How about a GPU which isn't Intel Graphics with dedicated RAM? (doesn't need to be the latest and greatest) This is the feature I am looking for and which is keeping me from buying a Macbook right now (and its most likley that this feature will never make it into the next macbook revisions...

As macworks already explained, its not really Apple's or the platform's fault if you buy something used or inclompete. I mean you already have the Macbook. Try asking Apple or the employees at the Apple store and explain your situation.

I would try it. HD enclosures doesn't cost that much and if your HD is dead, you can still use the enclosure for something else. I have brought back "nearly dead" HDs, by putting them into a external enclosure and switching the power on and off until the HD finally spun up. So while the drive...

Then it is most likley a hardware error. Video RAM means the build in RAM that the graphic card uses. If it is corrupted and can't be accessed correctly you might run into display problems. Its even a greater problem in OSX because the OSX GUI is HW accelerated and uses most of the video RAM.

No, the current Intel OSX version isn't sold officially. But if you explain your situation, I am sure the Apple store or Apple provide a copy. To be honest, it somehow stinks that there is no install media. Try asking the seller why this is the case. It could be a stolen machine (worst case). I...

Imagine a image as a "virtual harddrive". It can be mounted (appears as icon) on the desktop and you can put other files and folders in it. This "virtual harddrive" is actually a file with a .dmg or similar extension. You can copy, delete and move it, like a regular file. Double click it and...

Maybe deleting the custom icon resource file could help (if it is corrupted). Open a Terminal window and type following: cd / ls -a Look if a .VolumeIcon.icns file is listened. Delete it with these commands. rm -f .VolumeIcon.icns Log out and back in. Try changing the HD icon again.

I used imovie for this task, although its not a elegant solution. Use the text effect "subtitles". You may have to cut your movie in several parts in order to use this effect more than once. If you got a new machine than imovie should be already preinstalled on your mac. Otherwise its...

You could also use ichat which does everything AIM does.

Remeber, there is lots going on beneath the hood. The integration of core audio, core video and core image for example. I believe we will see more apps which will use these features if macs with more "beefy HW" become more common. Currently lots of users are using G4 machines with integrated...

I just want to know why most people don't use the features which are already there. OSX is a multi user system. If others have access to your computer then create one or multiple restricted accounts for them and password protect your own user account. Clean and simple solution. Other users...

Yeah I know, but if Apple keeps doing the "Whats wrong? It works." way we end up with a UI disaster like Windows. Please, don't get the wrong impression, I am able to get all the things I need, to work within the Win OS, but not exactly in a elgant way. To be honest I don't know exactly how the...

I noticed that the iPhoto slideshows in Frontrow don't work on my mac mini G4. When the transition to the second picture takes place, the slideshow aborts and brings me back to the Frontrow main screen. It might be the high resolution (1680x1050) can't be handeled the mac mini G4's graphic card...

Somebody should fix this overstretched icon in 10.5 - its driving me nuts. Utilization of more than 3 mouse buttons is quite limited. I want to assign the functions to additional mouse buttons without the help of third party apps. The same could apply to every HID you connect. Another...

It runs suprisingly smooth on my mac mini G4, unfortunally it doesn't allow to play the songs which are stored on my iPod.

Sorry, no one in this forum will support illegal actions. OSX is bound to Apple machines. Secondly even if you get it running you are stuck with 10.4.4. You also have to pirate as Intel version of OSX - which is also illegal. Apple does not sell the Intel version of 10.4. There are no further...

I also have a problem regarding external devices. But this time it is related to my Keyboard and its build in USB hub (+ connected Logitech mouse). Sometimes if I use my KVM switch, to switch to my second PC (which uses the same input devices and the same Apple Cinema display). If I try to...

These messages/errors are triggered by certain circumstances which are unknown to me. I know that not everyone gets those. The users most likley aren't to blame - I did everything I could on my end and my friend did the same on his. (opening ports, searching for background tasks wich are eating...
