Hardware :: Running Wireless N And G Simultaneously?
Sep 11, 2009I currently have 3 computers in my house.. 2 macs and a windows PC. The two macs are capable of running on a wireless N network... the PC on a wireless G.. I am currently running a netgear router at wireless G..
My question: I have a Airport Express which is capable of being a wireless N base station.. Is there anyway I can run my macs on wireless N through the Airport Express base station and my PC on wireless G through the Netgear router? I don't need for my PC to talk to any of my macs.. just need access to the internet..
I am fairly sure the airport express defaults to the slower of the devices connecting (G or N)..

Jun 25, 2009I was told by my friend that you can now pre-order Windows 7 upgrade "Home Edition" from Best Buy for 50 dollars. This seems like a damn good deal for a Windows operating system. Right now I am dual-booting Windows XP with Mac OS X Leopard on a Penryn MacBook Pro. I plan on upgrading to Leopard once it comes out, and maybe Windows 7, but I am not sure if it is worth the money over XP or Vista. I bought Windows Vista Home Premium Edition about two years ago, installed it, and it worked decent. The only problems I really had with it was I didn't like the new UI, it wasn't slow, but it wasn't fast either, and it didn't run a lot of old games I enjoyed. So I erased it and installed XP and haven't looked back. I actually prefer XP's default blue UI over the new, corny stuff. If I had it my way, Windows would still be using the Windows 2000 UI.
-What advantages does Windows 7 have over XP and Vista?
-How comparable in speed is it to Windows XP and Vista in gaming and everyday use?
-Is it possible to install older UIs onto 7?
-Should I get 64-bit or 32-bit?
-Can I upgrade from XP to Windows 7?

Oct 1, 2009I bought my Mac a few weeks ago, and now I have successfully installed Windows XP with Bootcamp. But what my question is, if it is possible to run both operating systems simultaneously without having to shut down computer and hold down alt to choose. For example, I want to be able to just press a key when I am in Snow Leopard, and it should take me to XP.
And of course from XP to Snow Leopard, while I still run programs on the computer. Is this possible?

Sep 4, 2009So I am trying to open up my bootcamp partition (running windows 7) in VMWare and I get this error message: Cannot open the disk '/Users/brandonquirarte/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines/Boot Camp/%2Fdev%2Fdisk0/Boot Camp partition.vmwarevm/Boot Camp partition.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on. It was working just fine before the upgrade to Snow Leopard but I am not sure if that has anything to do with it. I had to reinstall Windows 7 after I tried installing the Bootcamp 3.0 drivers so that may be more of the issue. I didn't test to see if would work still when I upgraded to Snow Leopard.

MacBook Air :: Advantages Of 1.6 GHz?
Dec 4, 2008Are there any tests that compare a 1.6GHz to 1.8GHZ(1.86GHz for Rev B) with the exact same configuration? For example I would be interested in comparing 1.6GHZ with HDD with a 1.8GHZ with HDD(Not SSD). The reason I ask is I would think the 1.6GHz would generate less slightly less heat and have a slightly longer battery life as compared to the 1.86GHz. So there might be more than just money saved when going with a 1.6GHz
View 2 Replies View RelatedIMac :: Advantages To Matching RAM?
Sep 23, 2010Just a quick question for anyone kind enough to take a moment to answer: I have a 24" 2.93GHz Core2 Duo iMac (last year's model) that shipped with 2 x 2GB (hence total 4GB) of RAM. I am starting to feel the crunch from more memory-intensive programs, and so the time has come to upgrade. is there a clear performance advantage to installing matching RAM sizes, as opposed to 2 sticks of different sizes? I noticed that [URL] currently offers an 8GB kit (2x4GB) for around $260. This is a bit beyond my budget, so I was thinking of instead just getting one 4GB through them for $130, and then mixing it with the Apple 2GB stick which is already in the computer. Would I see a significant performance upgrade with the 6GB mismatched RAM vs. the 4GB matched?

Aug 24, 2009I'm planning to buy a Mac Pro soon (within a week or so), and I'm wondering about the GPU setup. My question: Is there a processing advantage to getting multiple GT120's? I'm running two 30" ACD's so I know I don't need the extra card to support two monitors. But I'm wondering if Aperture, Photoshop, Lightroom, and other GPU intenstive apps would be able to take advantage of having two GPU's? Fyi - I'm planning on the 8x2.66GHz, 12GB ram, 1TB internal (I use drobo's for storage)...so just wondering what would be optimal for my photographic processing (and some videos with the 5Dmk2 camera).

Mac Pro :: The Advantages Of Using Server Grade Processors?
Apr 2, 2009I noticed that with the new dell precisions workstations that the standard configuration is as a server, not really a desktop which made me wonder what advantages server grade machines offer over desktop machines.
With the Mac Pros, one of the reasons why they are so expensive (well, a lot of the reason why) is because they use processors that intel created for servers and workstations as opposed to desktop computers. What is the advantage of these processors over your typical desktop processors?
(and are all the Mac Pros using server grade processors?)
