If you've used XOM you need to boot from the OS X DVD and repartition your HDD to a single free space section.

Then reinstall OS X, and run the updater. Something to do with what the XOM does to the partition table as I understand.

Yes.

And the sound uses the internal speakers, switch to the intel drivers from the xom wiki if you want to use external speakers.

thanx, backing up my stuff right now :D

What would be even more interesting to know is if Apple intend to maintain this product, to have it support Windows Vista in the future, now that Vista won't support EFI on release either. Because when DirectX 10 only games start arriving (and many will want to use this solution to play Windows games, with the Mac for the desktop OS and "business" apps), then you'll need Vista anyway thanks to Microsoft's infinite wisdom.

Anyway, it goes without saying it's great news for any Mac users interested in running basically any and all current software for Windows XP at native speed. It also opens for interesting benchmarks such as how Photoshop will perform on XP vs on the Intel Mac version on identical hardware and all emulation bits out of the picture.

If this is going to be possible with Vista too in possibly a soon upcoming version, with proper drivers, then my next system could very well be a Mac. :) Right now I'm a bit doubtful though, because I don't want to purchase that whole thing now and be busted for the very first DX10 game arriving. Sure, it'll take a while and they'll likely first be compatible with DX9, but even if it takes 2 years or so, 2 years from now would be quite a short lifetime for a system. :(

If it's true and this thing isn't Windows XP SP2 bonded people should try to install the latest Windows Vista beta on it and see if it works. If it doesn't I'm sure Apple will update their product in time for Windows Vista's launch, and by the looks of it they have all the time in the world for that. :laugh:

    • Valve will finally let you build your own Steam Machine with SteamOS for desktop

      By branfont · Posted

      If you don’t get lucky with Valve’s Steam Machine reservation system, you can make your own Steam Machine instead. Valve says that “starting with the SteamOS 3.8 release, you can put together your own Steam Machine using whatever PC parts you want.” SteamOS 3.8.10 launched last week with a slew of updates, including “improved compatibility with recent Intel and AMD platforms.” Alongside that improved compatibility, Valve is giving gamers the green light to install SteamOS on their own desktops. In an interview with The Verge, Valve’s Pierre-Loup Griffais said Valve has been “rolling out improvements to [SteamOS] so it’s more compatible with desktop hardware,” including eventual support for Nvidia graphics. Griffais says Valve has “a growing team” working on Nvidia driver support for SteamOS, adding, “We’re collaborating with Nvidia very closely.” While he mentioned that Nvidia support might not come this year, Griffais emphasized that “it’s certainly something that we’re working on in the background.”     Subscription not needed: https://archive.fo/Tssfc Subscription needed: https://www.theverge.com/games/953411/valve-steamos-desktop-nvidia

      I thought they were supposed to reduce the amount of restarts needed to install these updates? It took 3 restarts to install this update...
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By Jdoe25 · Posted

      I know an idiot at work who is "Director for innovation projects" and inevitably has been tasked with following up on this whole trend of "AI and its work applicability". He recently sent out a survey on the topic, for the workforce to disclose their usage and attitudes towards AI. The survey was badly, sloppily typed out, the questions and answers (when multiple choices) were loosely correlated and, all and all, it would already be miserable in the times of MS Office Autocorrect alone. Then, I had AI responding to it all (on the open-ended questions) with beautiful, to-the-point prose after I provided it with minor but proper guidance, taking me under 10 minutes. All this to say that I am sure that if AI comes to replace someone, it will still be me, and the other idiot will still stay.
