MacBook Pro :: 17" MacBook Pros Run Cooler Than 15" MacBook Pros?
May 2, 2010I was just wondering: Do 17" MacBook Pros run cooler than 15" MacBook Pros, if they're both spec'd the same way, and running the same tasks? I would think so. Does anybody know? Has anyone tested this?
It's not pressing; I'm just curious.

May 31, 2010The default Cirrus Logic driver for BootCamp outputs at 64dB. It makes no sense why they would put a cap on it since the driver outputs at 74dB in OSX. I have modified the driver and removed the volume cap so it now outputs louder in Windows than OSX!
Volume in Windows Before: 64dB
Volume in Windows After: 80dB
You can get the driver at:
[URL]
(Windows 7/Vista 32+64 Bit Driver)
It should work with any of the following Cirrus Logic chips:
CDB4206
CS4206A
CDB4207
It really helps with YouTube videos that have horrible volume or if you like to have music that fills the whole house.
Let me know if you want the XP driver with the volume uncapped so I can work on it as well.

Jan 4, 2010Do you think the rumoured Macbook Pros (Coming out in Q1 2010) will have USB 3.0 built in?If not, do you think it's worth waiting for the [even] next Macbook Pro update which will hopefully have it?It might sound silly but I feel it's a big investment - if you're planning on keeping the MBP for years, USB 3.0 is SO going to help speed up transferring data.

View 2 Replies View RelatedMacBook Pro :: Using Laptop Hard Drives / 5400 Versus 7200 Pros And Cons?
Apr 16, 2010I lean to the standard drive at 5400 rpm. Why? All my video editing is done with an external firewire drive, and I think the 7200 generates more heat than the 5400.
For web design I don't see how a 7200 speed is much of a benefit, considering the extra heat generated may negate the benefit of a faster drive. I think heat (and dust) is the bane of all electronics.
I'm fixing to order the 15" i7 and will use it for running Adobe CS5 web suite. Final Cut Pro for video- and will use a firewire drive.

View 2 Replies View RelatedMac Pro :: 2 Used Mac Pros - Which Is Better?
Aug 13, 2010I have the choice of two Mac Pro�s in my office and was wondering if anyone had any insight into which would better for video work (Final Cut, After Effects, etc.) and Photoshop?
Mac Pro #1
Quad Core Xeon
2.8 ghz
2 Processors
8 Cores
4gb RAM
ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT
Mac Pro #2
Dual Core Xeon
3 ghz
2 Processors
4 Cores
4gb RAM
ATI Radeon X1900 XT
From what I can gather from doing some research, it appears the processor is better on option #1, but the video card is better on option #2. So you think the processor over rules the better video card? Would it be worth taking machine #1 (with 8 cores) and purchasing this improved video card(http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB...s=topSellers)?
PowerPC :: Getting G5 Instead Of Waiting For New Mac Pros
Jan 9, 2007I can't really afford the Mac Pro right now and I'd have to upgrade it anyway. I can get a G5 with upgraded Ram Dual 2.5 and applecare for around �1000. I figure if I have problems with the G5 Apple might end up replacing it with a Mac Pro in the future anyway. Will Leopard work on a G5? How long do you think companies will keep making G5 compatible programs for?

Sep 1, 2008This doesn't pertain specifically to Mac Pros or Power Macs, but I couldn't find a better place for this.
Is it possible to build a Mac from scratch, like a PC? I've looked everywhere and I can't seem to find what proprietary hardware, if any, Apple still uses. I use a macbook right now and I'm wondering if it's as simple as booting with the Leopard install disc.
On a similar note, is it possible to use boot camp on a separate internal drive rather than partitioning an existing one formatting for OS X?

Jun 14, 2012I'm looking to purchase a Mac Pro as a file server for a client and wanted to spec 4x 1TB HDs and hardware RAID 5 via the Apple RAID card as we have done many times before.

This would seriously dent it's use as a file server if not.

View 7 Replies View RelatedMac Pro :: Move Home Folder - Pros And Cons And Implications?
Aug 25, 2010So I've set up my new mac pro per [URL] recommendations and have a SS boot drive and all my data on a separate Master drive (raid(0) stripe). Lloyd Chambers recommends keeping your home folder on the boot drive as it has a lot of extraneous app files stored in the library. This just means you don't store any data files in your home folder, you put them all on your data disk (with some exception to desktop files- see below) On the other hand, Chris Parillo at [URL:...] suggests just moving your entire home folder. This seems more convenient from a user perspective but does cause some mixing of app files and data files that could cause problems down the road. Such problems include, if for some reason, your system misses the home folder, it will create a new one and all your preferences will be suddenly changed. With this is mind, I've decided to keep my home folder on the boot drive, but it is now annoying to have my desktop files on my boot drive. Again, this is bad mixing of Data and App files and it makes it so if I want to move a file over to the Data file, I have to remember to command click so it doesn't just copy it over and leave two files, one on the desktop and a new copy on the data file. I can't just drag and drop, because it is just copying the file to a separate disk. So if I forget to command click, I have to manually trash the desktop files.
So now if I only had a solution to move my desktop folder location. Anyone have some ideas? I've tried the options in this thread: [URL:...] but they haven't seemed to work. I used a similar terminal trick to move my mail folder off my home folder, why can't I do the same with the desktop folder? Any suggestions or other pros and cons to moving the entire home folder over?

Mar 21, 2009I just bought a early 2009 MAC Pro and it came with 3GB of RAM, I ordered 3 2GB sticks of memory to replace the 3 1GB sticks that I had in there from Kingston. I turned off the unit, I popped the little levers and pulled the memory out of slot 1, 2, 3 and then replaced the memory with the new Kingston in slot 1, 2, 3
One of the sticks in is not working at all and I get the RED LED light no matter what slot I move that chip to. So I am running on 2 of the new Kingston memory chips.
Can I mix the memory and add the 1GB into slot 3 and 4 with slot 1 and 2 full of 2GB chips?
Also how to I run the memory utility again? I went to /system/Library/CoreServices/ and then I see the program Memory Slot Utility.app
How do I run this? I'm used to no spaces and I type ./then program name

View 5 Replies View RelatedMacBook Air :: Does SSD Really Need 4GB Of Memory
Jul 8, 2009I am considering upgrading from my ~2 year old MBP to a 2.13 MBA Rev. C and have a question re: RAM performance: how does your MBA w/SSD perform once you have maxed out the 2GB of internal RAM and started swapping to the SSD?
The reason why I ask is that my current MBP had 2GB of RAM which would max out under my regular daily use (typically open is Mail, Entourage, Skype, Adium, iTunes, Keynote, Activity Monitor, and Safari with 10+ tabs open... don't ask). As you might expect, everything grinded to a halt once the MBP blew through the physical RAM and it started swapping to the HDD. A few months ago I upgraded to 4GB of RAM and everything ran smoother.
MacBook Pro :: Memory Hog - Gets Really Low
Apr 23, 2010I've noticed in the past that after a few days of use, the free memory on my 2009 MBP gets really low. I notice this because when I get bored I snoop around the activity monitor - I actually don't notice any type of sluggishness. I'm simply inquiring about this. What I've done in the past is simply just reboot my system. This seems to work, but I just restarted my system last night, left it overnight and now according to activity monitor my free memory is at 12 mb! During the screenshot, I have Firefox with two tabs opened, iChat and iTunes.
