Put the Crucial Chips in first and alone. Then xbench it. Put the stock stuff in last and xbench it again. I **** canned my stock 512 and ran all Crucial.

Really? :o

Ok, i'll try it... As soon as i booted the first time, i swear It seemed to take LONGER to boot... That was what i suspected, then i benchmarked and it dropped considerably... Hmm... Thanks for the tip, i'll try just running the Crucial then!

What happened to the 3-part desk of doom? :p

Interesting, I only had 256mb stock in here which was replaced with 4x512 from crucial.. kinda glad I did now :D

Yea i think so mate. Sound great! iSub looks great in the dark - This is under my desk with blatantly no light... Its even better with your own eye, the pic doesn't do it justice.

Can you buy the iSub on it's own in the UK? I've currently got the Apple Pro speakers wired up here and think they're great, but you can never have too much bass ;)

haha! Well my dad made a new one for me - instead of me buying or being bought some POS like that last one. Anyhow, its nice, but i'm not as happy with it, as i'd like, so we (rather he, i hate DIY) are starting all over again! :)

S'kinda difficult because i share my room with my brother too, so there's all my stuff, plus his eMac and his stuff too! Oh well! :p

I've seen iSub's on eBay, so i imagine so yea? I think they plug directly into a USB port. Mine works a little different, i guess?

Soundsticks plug into the sub, then a lead through the Mac. + of course external power! ;)

This thread should be pinned.

I've said this a few times to no avail...

And nuka: Yeah, thanks for showing off your E-Machines... sure looks great compared to all the Macs around here, I think I'll give up using a Mac, that's just TOO uber! The CRT... omfg, damn that's HOT! It's so huge! Bigger is always better, my iBook must pale in comparison to the immense girth of such a thing! :rolleyes:

Stop being such a troll and go back to your corner, it's obvious you're nothing but flamebait.

See all his cables LOL you need an iMac badly! or even a G5 with a studio display only takes 2 cables!

iMac 1 cable for the power 54G card for net <-- 1 cable! and u could plug a USB printer into the apple router ;)

G5 studio display - 2 cables 1 for power to the G5. Studio display gets its power from the G5 itself via second cable.

and for mouse and keyboard both bluetooth, that would get rid of all your cables! :)

Love my iBook only have 1 cable for power, use wireless mouse if I feel like it and got wireless net! I hate having cables everywhere

    • Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri

    • Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri by David Uzondu Image via Apple Today, at the opening keynote of Apple's annual World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC), the company announced Siri AI, a "reimagined version" of its voice assistant that runs on Apple Intelligence. Siri AI helps you do things like draft messages, edit photos, and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations. You can access Siri AI through several methods, depending on the device. While "Hey Siri" remains active, iPhone users can also press the side button, swipe down from the Dynamic Island, or use a system-wide context menu on Mac to analyze on-screen text. Image via Apple If you ever need to go back and check previous interactions, you can open the dedicated Siri app to view your entire conversation history. This application privately syncs your data using iCloud, leveraging local Foundational Models alongside Apple's secure Private Cloud Compute servers to keep user data inaccessible to outsiders. On the iPhone, Apple built the assistant into the Camera app, bringing Visual Intelligence to help you split bills or count calories. This feature also expands to the iPad and Mac, letting users use screenshots or shortcuts to analyze images, while Apple Vision Pro users can ask questions about objects in their physical room. Other things to know about Siri AI include systemwide dictation that automatically handles punctuation and formatting, customizable voice speeds, and a spatial 3D interface built for Apple Vision Pro. Apple also added Smart Stack suggestions on the Apple Watch to help you continue recent conversations directly from your wrist. The road to Siri AI was quite bumpy for Apple, which initially promised these capabilities at WWDC 2024 when the Cupertino tech giant debuted Apple Intelligence. Apple later turned to Google, signing a $1 billion annual deal to use Gemini models instead of relying solely on its own in-house systems. However, this deal came only after consumers sued Apple because features Apple promised "did not exist at the time, do not exist now, and will not exist for two or more years." Siri AI is available for developer testing on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, and visionOS 27.

      Real shame the 16 GB versions are crazy more expensive than this.

    • iOS 27 & Apple Intelligence. Many iPhones become obsolete, right?

      And within the EU all this Siri AI stuff will probably work around 2030 and the IPhone 25 🤣
