| 521537 | 2007-02-07 20:28:00 | yeah same here - i use Fraps quite a lot to capture Video in my games i play to chuck on you tube - some of the files are insanely huge - 2 minutes of video is usually close to 4GB and it doesn't even miss a single frame\segment and i can still be playing the game while the hard drive is stressing out capturing all the raw data - then chuck it through autoGK to compress it down to 5MB and it doesn't choke at all - and i know that having a gig of ram certainly helps :thumbs: oh BTW can you over clock parts on a mac? like CPU Ram Graphics card e.c.t? i honestly don't know and would like to find out :confused: |

Vista was ment to have used it but would have meant people having to buy new machines to run it on, so they kept bios so supporting older hardware |

You won't feel so let down then either when he subsequently trades it in for a Hyundai! However, should he later dump the the Hyuntoyozda and buy a Ford (I'm guessing you are a Ford man, my apologies in advance if I've got it wrong). Cheers Billy 8-{) :thumbs: Im in neither the Holden or Ford camp, I have owned quite a few of each and have thoughly enjoyed all of them, Currently drive a Toyota :thumbs: Would certainly look at offerings from just about any brand when the time comes...For me, Mrs Metla or Metla Jnr. The main reason I want to have a hand in getting his first car is so he doesn't end up being a hero in a rice-racer, Im thinking a worn out 2l diesel with a nice set of mags. |

But if you're willing to explore a little, a Mac (or a small office full of them) can be excellent company as you journey out into the marketplace. | 007fantasy (11846) | ||

Too bad you're a year and a half late. How the heck did you come across this thread anyway? Searching for Mac vs PC topics for the sake of argument? |

Vista was ment to have used it but would have meant people having to buy new machines to run it on, so they kept bios so supporting older hardware Its called EFI which MS was going to put into Vista but didn't en.wikipedia.org Snow Leopard will be getting the ZFS file system which Apple is licensing from Sun en.wikipedia.org and Snow Leopard will be droping PPC support to go Intel only. |
