    Parallels Nightmares

    I have recently gotten and installed Parallels with WindowsXP Pro... both legal copies, the two combined cost me $380 USD plus tax & shipping. The computer I am using is merely a week old Mac Pro, dual 2.0ghz intel, 2gb ram, two superdrives, two sata 500 hds, etc etc etc. I got the...

    Multiplayer on LANs- macs & pcs

    Warcraft is mac and pc lan compatible- bioware is *generally* good about that (Think neverwinter nights) so long aspyr isnt involved

    Broken Hinges (left and right)

    I had this happen with a 800ghz g4 tibook (back when it was only a year old), I had the extended warrenty and was mad that Apple wouldnt fix the hinge or peeling paint so I used it to make a desktop. http://s11.photobucket.com/albums/a163/evilshelbydodgeimp/computer_stuff/Tibook%20Rebuilt/...

    C&C Generals PC-Mac LAN?

    It cant be done. I know, i have BOTH the mac and PC version legally and play them at LANs all the time with my friends. Basically Aspyr does the EA game title ports to mac OS and is too lazy to do it the correct way (aka they will port multiplay, but make it so macs can only play with...

    mdd hard drives

    Right, but the oiptical drive bus is the slowest ATA bus so it *should* be listed last in Apple Sys Profiler-> ATA

    mdd hard drives

    If they are in order, why is the optical drive bus in the middle? The optical drives on the MDD are ATA33 which is the slowest bus.

    mdd hard drives

    Those bus's in apple system profiler do not appear to be in any order- As it lists ata66 first, then ata33 (optical drives), then ata100. At least, assuming 1) that the MB is labled correctly when I put the drives in and, 2) ata66 being the front HD carrier under the optical drives (with...

    mdd hard drives

    Mac OS 10.4 disagrees: Unless you are saying that although it claims 7xgb is available, it wont actually let me put that much on the drive?

    mdd hard drives

    I have a 250 GB unparticianed on my ATA66 bus and it works fine. So there isnt any top size limit on the ata100 bus, good to know.

    Multiplayer on LANs- macs & pcs

    Ok, I know this has the potential to start a flame war- which is not my intention. But my roommate has a PC gateway and we're on the same wired lan. To my horror I found that most (all?) the Aspyr games I have bought (legally) won't multiplay with PCs! This is bad sice Aspyr handles the...

    mdd hard drives

    I have a dual 1.42ghz firewire800 mirror drive door g4 Powermac. I am getting low on hard drive space (my work involves alot of large multimedia files) and am curious what the maximum hard drive capacity is for macs with 48bit addressing. I currently have two 120GB hard drives on the...

    Can I run everything from an external hard drive?

    But the external drive must be firewire or SCSI (if you machine is that old) to boot from the external drive, correct me if I am wrong but I believe macs have never had the ability to boot off of usb (firewire is better anyway in all honesty).
