wow 64bit processes in Tiger!!!

Maya Unlimited at last - yes!!! wow a 30inch monitor - thats crazy!! this year is looking good! Ell.

so it seems that 64bit is a very long time away (in terms of full compatability). a shame really becuse it would be nice to see it, seeing as macs are fast becoming the system of choice in high end production...

macavenger very inetersting stuff. Though I thought Tiger was 32bit? theres nothing suggesting that its 64bit anyway. Well its very good to hear that processor intensive applications, like the graphics apps I use, will benifit from 64bit. I just hope that Apple pull their finger out and start...

Are there any processes that can be deleted? I know that in Windows XP I could delete a few, as I didnt need them to be running...

I have recently downloaded 10.3.4 and have opened the Activity Monitor - how great is this Utility? quite amazing level of information about memory, application info, disk activity. Really helps when you are running programs to find out what the cpu is doing. Very impressed - think Im gonna...

oh man! what a donce! ok so its that simple? then can I delete the original admin user without a problem?

How do I create a second admin user? and then delete the original admin user? is there a way? or is OSX only able to have 1 root 1 admin and then as many users?

so whats the advantage of having 90nm rather than 130nm?

ElDiabloConCaca - yeah I had read that link a while back, very cool, and it makes sense for Pixar to use OSX, but they said they dont use it for rendering or animation duties. which is basically the 3D bit. Thats what I want Apple to concentrate on, they have a lot of control over the 2D...

very ineteresting stuff. As I said in an earlier post, OSX 64bit will not mean much when its first released, as not many applications will support this new architecture. I think we will be looking atleast at anothert 2 years until we have 64bit norm. The thing that gets me is, whats the point in...

ElDiabloConCaca - thanks! I realise that now! - and thats what I said to apple customer support when they said that 'they don't recommend changing the name of that folder, in that particular way - therefore, we cannot help you'. - thanks for the help apple!

after (stupidly) changing the name of my (admin) user folder /Users/ by just clicking on the folder and typing a new name, I have lost many applications and application setting/preferences, including my IPhoto library, is there a way of getting them back? or of displaying all documents and...

Ineteresting, so you wouldnt really get any speed advantages through a 64bit OS? what benifits does 64bit actually have, apart from being able to run more ram?

yeah, I suppose I could run a Linux 64bit OS, but I prefer OSX, Im a 3D graphics professional, and I use Maya and Photoshop and After Effects quite a bit so my programs are very needy. In all truth, at work is where I do all my Maya stuff running on a boxx workstation under Linux, by the time I...

I was wondering when the OS would be 64bit? I am interested in getting a G5 but dont see the point if all the applications are 32bit still... I've also heard that Windows will be 64bit very soon - surely Apple cant let that happen before them? I aslo suppose even after a 64bit OS becomes...

dunno about the G5 Laptop but it would cost $$$ if it was made from platinum. Keep it Ti !! L.

It seems to have trouble opening the info when I click on show info for the hard drive, just hangs for ages. I really need more ram so Im gonna buy a 512 slot and maybe that will fix it cause I run photoshop and maya (3d animation) so I could do with a bit more, maybe?

I have repaired permissions. Thanks. But what is the usual thing to do when the system doesnt respond like that? Also what does 'repair permissions' do?

very funny! but any serious responses?
