768 MB RAM actually, and the iMac is ordered now. Can't wait. Anyone got any advice for getting an iMac hooked up to the net in a scenario like this?

Downstairs: Dell with Windows XP connected through ethernet to a surfboard cable modem downstairs as well.

Upstairs: iMac.

[by the way, I didn't edit the above post because I don't see "Edit" for some reason, maybe its because I quick replied or something.]

i have my PeeCee running my DSL Connection, and my Cube just sharing it. Simply enable the sharing in your XP Connection Properties, then on your iMac, goto Network Settings. Define your LAN Settings, and add in the PeeCee's IP in the Router Box. i too included my ISP's DNS Address(es)

Here's a Screen Cap of my ethernet Properties...

Hope that Shed's the appropriate light on the subject! ... it really is a piece of cake, it'll be a breeze for ya! ;)

How long til you get your iMac? .. i nearly got one, in some respects, maybe i wish i had ... but hey! :D

Thanks, I'll try to do that, providing I don't run into a "mental block" along the way. And the mac should be here by next friday according to MacMall, it was a sweet deal, all that for about 1,900 dollars including S/H.

A few minutes ago it arrived, I'm so excited! Now I just have to find out what networking equipment I'm going to need to purchase to give my iMac internet upstairs wirelessly when the cable modem is connected downstairs to the Dell (going to need to be able to provide internet access to both, preferably wirelessly)

I'm going to receive my first Powerbook G4 12" tomorrow.

yes, I'm one of the (many? few?) who has decided to "switch". I needed a notebook, I decided to try and jump on Apple's wagon. Let's see how it'll develop! ;)

(though I'm quite positive I won't have any trouble... at least, hope so!! he he)

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By Legend20 · Posted

      You are clueless. The updates are done in the background so the next time you open Edge the updates are applied automatically. There is no need to close all your tabs. Just keep browsing like you normally do. Clearly you don't use Edge and are just one of those haters that complain for the sake of complaining.

    • Windows Server gets DNS over HTTPS (DoH) support

      By Legend20 · Posted

      Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
    • Windows 11 gets better widgets, new Screen Tint feature, and more in the latest build

      Now disable that stupid OneDrive backup request when Windows starts please. So unbelievably frustrating to only have “remind me later” instead of “no and never ask me again”
