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

    • Kdenlive 26.04.2 by Razvan Serea Kdenlive is an acronym for KDE Non-Linear Video Editor. It works on GNU/Linux, Windows and BSD. Through the MLT framework, Kdenlive integrates many plugin effects for video and sound processing or creation. Furthermore Kdenlive brings a powerful titling tool, a DVD authoring (menus) solution, and can then be used as a complete studio for video creation. Kdenlive supports all of the formats supported by FFmpeg or libav (such as QuickTime, AVI, WMV, MPEG, and Flash Video, among others), and also supports 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios for both PAL, NTSC and various HD standards, including HDV and AVCHD. Video can also be exported to DV devices, or written to a DVD with chapters and a simple menu. Video editing features: Multi-track editing with a timeline and supports an unlimited number of video and audio tracks. A built-in title editor and tools to create, move, crop and delete video clips, audio clips, text clips and image clips. Ability to add custom effects and transitions. A wide range of effects and transitions. Audio signal processing capabilities include normalization, phase and pitch shifting, limiting, volume adjustment, reverb and equalization filters as well as others. Visual effects include options for masking, blue-screen, distortions, rotations, colour tools, blurring, obscuring and others. Configurable keyboard shortcuts and interface layouts. Rendering is done using a separate non-blocking process so it can be stopped, paused and restarted. Kdenlive also provides a script called the Kdenlive Builder Wizard (KBW) that compiles the latest developer version of the software and its main dependencies from source, to allow users to try to test new features and report problems on the bug tracker. Project files are stored in XML format. An archiving feature allows exporting a project among all assets into a single folder or compressed archive. Built-in audio mixer Kdenlive 26.04.2 changelog: Remove not needed actions from render info, fix rough size calculation for rendering. Fix clip sometimes not inserted in timeline when moving vertically in bin drag. Fix transcoding from clip properties. Cleanup render profile audio quality.

Edit mediacapture.cpp. Fix document unnecessarily marked as modified on opening, triggering a backup request. Fix incorrect detection of missing and remote clips causing unwanted backups.

    • Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June games showcase week has been a packed one, with everything from major presentations like Sony and Summer Game Fest to indie-focused reveals coming in almost every day. Now, it's almost time for another big one, with Microsoft bringing its Xbox Games Showcase back later today. This is a double feature too, with a Gears of War E-Day deep dive also being attached to it. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase is kicking off at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET | 6 PM BST | 7 PM CEST later today, June 7. The event will be available to watch on the official Xbox YouTube (4K 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, Steam, Amazon Live, and other portals. Separate livestreams for American Sign Language and Audio Description will also be available. "This year marks 25 years of XBOX, and this Showcase is poised to be a true celebration, offering world premieres, new gameplay, fresh updates, and more for a swathe of projects we cannot wait to share," said Microsoft about this presentation. With a new CEO behind it that is pulling off some interesting moves, Xbox may have some surprises to reveal today. New looks at first-party games like Halo Campaign Evolved from Halo studios, Fable from Playground Games, InXile Entertainment's Clockwork Revolution, Mojang's Minecraft Dungeons II, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from Infinity Ward are to be expected here. We may finally get to see the new Blade from Arcane Studios in action and a new Persona game from Atlus at the showcase too. Surprise announcements may also arrive from other Microsoft-owned studios like Bethesda, MachineGames, Ninja Theory, Obsidian, Rare, World's Edge, or Blizzard. Considering how every new release nowadays is staying away from November and December to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI's release, any launch dates Microsoft announces will probably skip those months as well. Once the Xbox Games Showcase ends, Microsoft will immediately kick off the Gears of War: E-Day Direct. This deep dive into the upcoming prequel from The Coalition should attach gameplay footage and perhaps a release window to the highly anticipated project.
    • People in the '50s and '60s had the same attitude, and we're still here over a half century later.
    • So after some fiddling I was able to get it to run at a pretty stable 30FPS. I'm slightly surprised about how much fiddling I had to do to get there though given what I thought was reasonable hardware: Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics Memory: 16 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor 1: AMD Radeon 780M Graphics Graphics Processor 2: AMD Radeon RX 7700S I think I could do it better if I use Linux rather than Windows, Windows RAM usage is stupid without stripping the system down. But once I got it working in a reasonable state, it was so awesome! I felt like a new Bond! If anyone has any advice to get things going a bit smoother FPS-wise, I'd appreciate it.
