    Mac Screen Sound

    Are you sure the sound is coming from the computer and not the speakers? I had a problem where a video card was interfering with a sound card, and had similar problems. Whenever I'd move the mouse (or move a window etc.) I'd hear a high pitched buzz, but it was being heard through the...

    WD Caviar not good?

    I've been pretty happy with WD. Had one fail on me, years ago (I think it was a 300 meg drive or something). I've had several Maxtors fail on me, and will never buy one again. My last HD purchase was a Seagate, and it seems quieter than my WD drive. Perhaps a little slower, but not by much...

    quicktime mpeg playback speckled

    Not sure how to best describe this. I'm a recent switcher to Mac and am using a 20" iMac G5. I've been watching roller coaster videos that are in MPEG-1 format from www.themeparkreview.com, for a while, previously on my PC using the ATI file player or WMP, now on the Mac with Quicktime Pro...
