I give rep to people for being helpful, considerate, or clever. Ergo, you DO NOT have to rep me in return. Your being clever does not entitle me to rep. See?
And I want a macbook.
We need to come up with a way to clone our macs.

I have the 15" iMac:
2.66 GHz Intel QuadCore i7
4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 Ram
500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200 rpm
NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 512 mb
I have to say, tho, I followed Apple's advice in purchasing it, which was very helpful.
I didn't get the solid state drive. Still, I have a 500 gb drive that allows me to set up a 120 gb BootCamp/Windows drive and still left me plenty for room for almost 100 gb of images, textures, brushes, patterns, and other graphic garbage I've collected over the last two years that goes with my Adobe CS4 install. I didn't get the 17" because it's a bit heavier than I'd want a laptop to be (the 15" does have a nice, solid feel to it). The new screens are simply fantastic.

Edit: Just saw Apple's link, so, yeah that one. BTW, Apple, since we can't dup them, maybe we should timeshare?

Yes, I hate the fact RTW is out and I still have a Japanese title. Come on now admins- let's get with the program.

Sounds good
anybody know how the 320M from Nvidia copes with RSII or Games in general? My old Thinkpad just gave his life up after heavy use lol and I don't want to spend too much as I'm also saving for a Camaro but I'd like a Apple Notebook
Well, the 330M that I have (512 mb) is keeping up with Oblivion and RSII very well. I'm satisfied with the 330s performance in both games, althought the 330, like the 320, is considered a "mid-range" graphics card.
If you want more detailed info on the 320, here's a link to that includes some game benchmarks.
That said, one expensive lesson I learned a couple of years ago: no matter how good your graphics card is, no matter how much ram you have, without a good processor, you just bottleneck. Which is why I spent the extra money for the i7.
In all honesty, I love(d) both my MacBooks. They weren't perfect (although my current one is near perfect) but they were far superior to any PC that I've ever owned or seen. Others, of course, have a different opinion. I'd try to get a loaner, if you can, for a few days, just to test a Mac out.
I'm looking for a good 2009-2010 RPG to test out my new i7, just to get a feel for how well it handles other games ...

I have the i5. But it can butcher some games. There's a really good app for fan speed, I can give a link if you'd like. Wish I woulda got more than 320gb though. I split it in half for
W7
Macs aren't worth the plastic and silicon they are made from.
Haha whatever you say man. I love mine and the price I paid for
It.

Apple, if you find a way to clone them, mine can be the guinea pig

And for the record. My MacBook pro is made out of aluminum.

Hi. This is my first post in the mansio. Who is looking forwar to shogun II? At first I was not, now I am excited! The graphics look great, I just hope we will be able to command a considerably larger amount of troops, say 20000 or so, which I hear is the rumour. It would be sad if that was just like the max ingame troops, I am sick and tired of waging war with understrengh armies.
Anyway, if they actually do make it a "next generation" game " I will be happy. We all know of course as gamers how next generation means same old boring nubish game with better graphics and more lag. Call of Duty for instance...Oh, and they better make it mod friendly as well!

Thx
Anyone heard about the "iTouch Kids" yet?
If you don't like Microsoft, then go with linux. It and all of its software is free, and it is much faster and safer than Mac. Why pay for what is essentially a less stable version of the same thing?
