552,139 points sounds about right if your overclocked to 10.3ghz but if not then something is wrong :p


Anyways. Try and do a slight overclock to 3.5-8ghz and you'll be finishing bigadvs in no time. You need to fully complete 10 bigadv WUs to start getting their bonus. You will get 75k + points when you complete it. I get closely 90k points when I complete one, which is around 55k PPD.

Don't be afraid to OC, the 920s are the best and you can probably get close to 4ghz on air. See how far you can go on stock voltages. I got a really good chip as I'm at 4.2ghz @1.26v and it's 24/7 folding stable. Lower volts = lower temps and vice versa.

Just make sure you are using an aftermarket cooler if you OC. If you try and OC to 4Ghz with the stock....:o
My i7 920 OC'ed to 3.8 runs bigadvs like a champ. Too bad the OS X client hasn't been updated... I wanna run bigadvs again....:mad:

I have stuck with Tiger in my G4s, so I can't speak to Leopard's performance.

You should install the maximum possible amount of RAM before doing anything else, but a HDD upgrade will definitely improve performance as well and should make the machine perfectly suitable for general internet browsing and basic image editing/light gaming work and so forth.

Bear in mind that these machines are only going to get older, and G4s can never handle HD video, so while they are perfectly servicable you will want to limit the amount of money you put into upgrades.

For most things, I don't have a favourite.

Apple (for laptops only)

Uniqlo if I'm in Asia, and only for things like underpants. :p

Nikon, but only because every SLR user is stuck with one brand anyway.

Otherwise, I get the best/aesthetically pleasing thing I can reasonably afford.

I did but sorta regret it ... it's not SO unstable that it's unusable, but some features such as no Rosetta and the few bugs that make it annoying to use, do make me regret upgrading. Thankfully updates are coming regularly so things are only improving, and I dual-boot into W7 whenever something needs to get done bug-free.

I am also having some issues, but up until now Lion has been very stable. Spotlight doesnt always find my apps, but I am giving it some more time...

I am at UConn am was thinking of going but now i hear the coop may be selling it for only $70 so I will have to look into that before driving and paying more.

does anyone? if i don't find any interested 2 weeks before christmas, then i'll go to a used game store.

thanks

Viva la Revolution :)

The more I think about it, the more it seems the DS was actually the "revolution" Nintendo was promising. It's pretty much the gaming platform right now, dominates sales charts on each continent etc... It was Nintendo's first steps towards bringing in the non-gamer, the Wii is more like the exclamation point to the DS's first sentence. The Wii really is just a console DS in so many ways. To sell almost 7 million units in the 5 months it has been out is incredible, especially given the lack of games, online play, HD etc. Looks like a console DS to me! It's like the NES or PS1 all over again.

Just kidding.. But no, seriously.

Not as big a hassle as yours but I ordered a TV off pixmania (UK) and it came with a Euro plug. Phoned to complain and they sent me an adapter.

Not a big deal but I was a bit miffed that they didnt advertise it as Eur plug. I'm a bit paranoid about having it plugged to an adapter all the time (not sure why!)

I'll be there! Wanna meet up. How many people do you think are gonna show up?

My buddy Jimmy and I will be there! Start camping out around 10PM!!!:D

you can only run gpu3 with nvidia 400 series cards, unless you run the command like this:

fah -gpu 0 -forcegpu nvidia_g80 -advmethods -verbosity 9 -local

try that with what you did before and see if it works!

holy crap you're a genious :) it actually started computing now i think, though it errored out right away with an 'unstable machine' error. first time its gotten that far at least. here's the log




it was trying to use core_15 earlier which was probably the issue. i wasn't forcing it with g80. i'm still not sure from those linux instructions what all we need to do on os x with the wine dll wrapper and stuff though. maybe its not actually seeing the card who knows. thanks for the help:)


looks like it might be an issue with the nvidia cuda driver and 10.6.5? http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=185332

So far, more like an extra 175 ppd.

I will be talking about the security features and aspects in mac os x snow leopard, to my class. can anyone suggest things to talk about and where can i find them. also, can i use the apple logo in my presentation? thanks.

These may be more Folk ish but still acoustic. Check 'em out!

Ray LaMontagne
Sufjan Stevens

There's a few I like. Enjoy!

Yes this'll work. I don't know why dqpassat is having problems though as the cpu speed has nothing to do with this.

Great. Thanks!

Have 2 cards to choose from:

ATI Mac Edition 7000 PCI for $40
ATI Mac Edition 9200 PCI for $80

Both mint and tested (receipt for warranty available as well I believe but would have to dig through files).
Sorry, like I said before ^^ I need a low end card, probably like a ATI Rage that I just need to display video, no gaming.

hi i know that my old ibook g3s fw port didnt charge my ipod when it was asleep; my new g4 12 1.33 sez it is charging my ipod but the other day my ipod died when it still had some chartge left. does this mean that its simply dead or it is not in fact being charged while asleep, and only when awake? thankx. ruby, don't take your love to town

Its not a defect, its a "feature" of 4.2 ... they've reduce the power to the port from 100 ma to 20 ma. This is to stop people using things Apple dont like in the port (USB drives, keyboards etc), but its also stopped compatibility with half of the SD cards in the world.

There own camera connection kit is now fatally flawed under this update. Bad Apple.

This does look like iOS4 is turning into Apple's Vista. .

The biggest difference... Apple will fix the problems. MS just let it go.

BTW... I've noticed lots of little things too... the most annoying being the proximity sensor issues. But I have confidence they will get fixed. I'm just hoping soon. :) But heck... it's only been just over a month since it shipped. :D

YESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

E-PL1 support finally. :D

Agreed. I've been using the "Olympus Master 2" software with my E-PL1's RAW files and it's ssssslllllooooowwwww (like 20s to display a pic in 1:1 resolution). Wondering if iPhoto's RAW handling is significantly faster than the Olympus s/w.

Been holding off on upgrading from iPhoto '08 -> '09 in the hopes that '10 will come out soon....................soon?

I found this interesting:

Notebook Owners
Your one-year warranty includes replacement coverage for a defective battery. You can extend your replacement coverage for a defective battery to three years from the date of your notebook purchase with the AppleCare Protection Plan. However, the AppleCare Protection Plan for notebook computers does not cover batteries that have failed or are exhibiting diminished capacity except when the failure or diminished capacity is the result of a manufacturing defect. Apple offers a battery replacement service for MacBook Air and all MacBook Pro notebooks with built-in batteries. You can purchase replacement batteries for late models of Apple notebooks directly from the Apple Store.

So what constitutes defective. Is there are criteria for measuring this that is disclosed or it it up to the repair tech?

The way I view this is that it essentially means 99.99% of the time the battery is not covered.

Simple question...

on the '11 models... would bootcamp be good on a 13'' (either model)? and how much of a difference would there be in a 15'' (low end)?

Thank you :)

taken from this (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3641) support article:

With the iTunes Store, all sales are final. As soon as you click the
Buy button (using either 1-Click or the Shopping Cart) your purchases are charged
to the credit card on your Apple Account. You cannot cancel a purchase or receive
a refund for a purchase.

however, the iTS is known to make the occasional exception, so here's for hoping ...

I think this is shockingly bad service
