Mac Pro :: Modular Mac Pro Reviews - Trinitron With 640x480 Resolution And A 33 MHz 68040 Processor

Apr 15, 2010

Picked up a used Mac Pro ('09 version, 2x2.26 ghz) a few months back. Thought I'd chime in with a short, impromptu review.I have never had a modular Mac before this. My first Mac that I actually owned was a Macintosh LC 575, which was, in a way, the first "iMac." It had built-in ethernet, monitor, CD-ROM drive, 13" Trinitron with 640x480 resolution, and a 33 MHz 68040 processor. There was also an expansion slot but I never used it. The whole logic board could slide out the back on a tray for the user to expand RAM, and the hard drive was similarly easy to upgrade. After a decade with the original Mac, upgraded to a Plus in '89, the move from the original Mac to the LC 575 was ginormous: it was a move from black-and-white to color, from a dog-slow 68000 chip to a speedy (for the time) '040. It was killer, but of course, soon outdated as PowerPC dawned and time quickly passed it by.

MacBook Pro :: Web Designers Reviews For High Resolution?

Apr 17, 2010

Web designers or the like,I'll be buying a 15" MBP for Web Design (as well as obviously other casual use) and still undecided on whether to get a standard res or high-res.From your experience, when designing sites, do you find the standard-res too little (i.e. do you design for bigger screens, meaning you'll need to keep scrolling around) or do you design for a similar sized screen to the one you use and the browsers upscales/downscales the site accordingly?

Mac :: Replace New MacBook Air High Resolution Screen With A Lower Resolution?

Nov 16, 2010

1440x900 resolution of the new MacBook Air 13.3" screen is simply too high, making everything way too small and straining on my eyes. Is there a replacement LED LCD panel with a lower resolution (1280x800 like the old MBA) that could be retrofitted?

MacBook Pro :: 15" Antiglare - High Resolution Or Normal Resolution?

Apr 29, 2010

It is clear there are people who love their high-res antiglare display; the ability to have more pallets open in Photoshop, see more of what you are doing in Logic. However, there is a fair few of us who dislike the high-res because of decreased fonts, smaller graphical interface things.if you had the choice to go for a high-res or normal res antiglare 15", what would you go for?

MacBook Pro :1680x1050 Resolution Can Be Done On Standard Resolution Screen?

May 5, 2010

i am using a hackintosh for a week now. I am using it just to get used to Mac OS X because i am switching to a Macbook Pro in a couple months. I switched from PC to Mac officially now. OK, let's come to the main topic of this thread;-At first, my hackintosh couldn't get my gfx card, i couldn't find the driver(kext) so my resolution was very bad. Everything was huge and blurry. I couldn't even look at my 17" Samsung LCD screen. I made an entry to file which was something like this

MacBook Pro :: Gaming - High Resolution Vs. Standard Resolution

May 6, 2010

Who has actually played games on BOTH the 2010 high res and standard res macbook pros?Reading through that gaming benchmark thread isn't much of an indicator as most people don't post their resolution and if they have they have only played on one or the other.Im trying to get a better indicator on the performance difference with newer games. Are we talking 2-6 fps drop or 10-20 or more?

MacBook Pro :: Unable To Use Custom Resolution For Tv / Best Resolution For An LCD HDTV?

Aug 17, 2010

So i'm trying to figure out the best resolution for using my macbook pro in clamshell mode. I think ever since i installed snow leopard the new resolution choices i have are not longer pixel x pixel, but actual TV resolutions, such as 1080i, 720p, 420p. In the past I've used SwitchResX to do custom resolutions for my tv but that dosnt seem to work anymore.

I'm trying to find a resolution where text is easy to read. 1080i looks pretty but text is extremely small. 720p the text is larger and easy to see but is very fuzzy and not easy on the eyes. I guess this has something to do with the pixels on a tv being farther apart than that of a computer monitor. It's a 32" LCD TV. I'm using a DVI to HDMI cable (Non-Unibody Macbook Pro).

IMac :: Useful RAM Reviews

Aug 9, 2010

[URL]

Is this not the right RAM for the 2009 iMacs? Looking at the reviews, I see this:

"Other Thoughts: Crucial never claimed this was compatible with iMacs so I can't complain really."

I think this is the same RAM that I found on Crucial.com... It is not exactly rocket science to find 204-pin SODIMM 1066MHz RAM... PC3 8800. So, are these "reviewers" just off or am I looking at the wrong RAM.

Mac Pro :: AMD Radeon HD 6970 Reviews

Dec 15, 2010

I've seen a lot of HD 6970 reviews hit the streets today. Can we hope to see some "investigation" from Cindori & company in the near future???

I would love to stick a modded version in my 2008 Mac Pro.

Retail on these cards is looking at about $370.00 (Yeah... 80 bucks cheaper than Apple wants for their single-DVI 5870 )

Requires 1 8-pin and 1 6-pin power connector.2 GB of memory on-board.

MacBook :: 2.4/4gig From A Air Reviews B/SSD

Jan 9, 2009

New owner of a Alum Macbook 2.4/4gig coming from a Macbook Air Rev B/SSD. My question about the Macbook is the fans, I feel like even when just Safari is on, my fans are on at a constant hum at 1994rpm-2000rpm. Is that normal? Even when nothing is open? My Macbook Air was dead silent but then again that was with ssd. Would like to hear your opinions.

Windows On Mac :: Finding 7 Reviews

Jan 25, 2009

Hope this thread will work out. I'd like the community to put all their Windows 7 Reviews in this thread. Please keep it "nice" - this is for reviewing Windows 7 and how well it runs on Macs, PC's, under Virtualization, etc.

Please state what machine your running on, the version, and your likes/dislikes. Also, will it be worth upgrading from XP or Vista? Would you need to get a new computer (Mac or PC), Virtualization or Bootcamp?

I'd like to know.. I'm testing it on a few different machines. Will post my findings on at least my first machine a bit later.

MacBook :: From MBP To MBA To Aluminium MB Reviews ?

Mar 1, 2009

In the last month I decided that I wanted more portability for my laptop so I decided to get a new one.At first I was going to get an alum macbook but I was scared off by all the critcism of the screen quality.Then I was going to get a Rev B Air but I was tempted by the refurb A prices so I bought a 1.8/SSD rev A. Nice machine but I was not happy with the performance or the compromises (Hulu video stutter, Eyetv download of old camcorder movies stutter, ichat video stutter, lots of beach balls as I was scrolling in Safari, fans blaring at 6500 rpms with RSS screensaver, etc). I was depressed as I did not want to spend the big bucks for a MBA rev B, so I decided to look at the Alum macbook again. I read a thousand posts here and headed off to the Apple store with my thumb drive filled with all kinds of pictures in hand. After viewing many pictures at all kinds of angles, comparing with the Air, I decided the screen wasn't near as bad as the hype. So off to ebay to find a deal. It took 1.5 hours to do a 15GB time machine migration over wifi. Here is my review.
