Your Mac Hardware Setup


Recommended Posts

Well... lets get back on topic here... and I promised a few pages back to post my desktop...

Got my iBook yesterday, here are some pics... as you can see, they're in the living room, because honestly, why should I sit at a desk when I have AirPort networking and a good 3 hour charge on my battery? :p

*Snickers cuz my iBook has the secksy Verdana "iBook" writing and yours has ugly Times New Roman*

:D

:laugh:

Yeah yeah, it's used though :p

Oh well, I'm happy with it :happy:

There's a PC "Post your workstation" thread around here somewhere. I noticed that, in my opinion, on average, Mac user's desktops look much cooler. :) Even my minimalist workstation looks better than most of the ones in the PC thread but it looks decidedly dowdy compared to this lot.

I'll let you decide....

I don't have a Mac to post yet, but I have a question.

I'm looking at getting a Mac soon. A tower though, not a notebook. Now, my question is this:

Can I hook up my 21" Sun Microsystem monitor to it? It has a standard VGA connection, and I use it on my PC as of now.

If I get a Mac, I don't want to have to get a new monitor also. I don't have the desk space for it. Sure, I'll be getting rid of my PC, but I don't want to get rid of my monitor.

Depends on the Graphics card really ... My GeForce3 has a ADC and VGA Connector, so in this instance yea, i'd think most graphics card have DVi + VGA / ADC + VGA combo's, so you should be ok?! :D

Good stuff!

Another questions. As a person just starting out on a Mac, except for used at school, what do you suggest?

You say you wanted a tower, right? ... Well, if you meant, desktop ... probably an iMac ... they seem such sweet computers, and i'd imagine there'd be a PERFECT 1st time computer ... however i dunno if they can work with you 21" machine .. so it might that you gotta go for the G5, huh? I wouldn't go for the 1.6!

Bump! - Now i have a Digital Camera! :D

    • I can answer about the Linux bit. I only used AMD GPUs. I currently have a 9060XT (8GB) that fits my needs, I'm not a gamer, so I don't need that much GDDR. But lately, NVIDIA has grown a lot in the recent years. Oh, the horrors of NVIDIA drivers not working. But they have been getting better. I know a lot of members onm here that are running cachyOS and other distros, and are fine with a 4090/5090 variants. Really, though, I would stick with AMD variants.
    • Everything they say you can already do yourself on the registry by changing some things.
    • Artist's renderings are so much nicer to view than the real thing, don't you think?
