Not really sure - part of the system changed it's description when I installed the latest Catalyst drivers (I manually selected X1600, everything works perfectly).

Got the latest catalysts but they fail with an INF error, so I assume that's where manually selecting the X1600 comes in. How do you do that?

Hey guys; I've got a few quick questions. After Boot Camp is installed on your Intel Mac, do you just put in the XP install CD, install XP, then put in the CD created in Boot Camp?

I don't own a Mac, but I'm just wondering how hard the actual setting up is. :D

Once youve installed Bootcamp, you have to start it and then it walks you through the whole process. Its very simple.

I was thinking about that little problem that macs dont have a delete buton to do the ctrl + alt + delete to login in windows or to bring the task manager so what if windows starts putting little tricks to make it impocible to start windows on a mac? i know people will always find a way arround it but it can happen if thats what microsoft is looking for so that apple doesnt benefit from the large market that windows already has.

I was wondering, why does my iMac X1600 show up as a Mobility card on Windows? On the Apple website it says nothing about it being a mobility version of the card, and they do make the distinction on the MacBook Pro site. Is it a driver thing (just using the same drivers for now and they'll fix later?) or do they just sneak that mobility in on the iMac users? ;)

Sorry if it's been asked before, I think I've read most of this thread but I might have missed something.

The video card in the iMac is the same as in the MBP. A Mobility Radeon.

How did you install the latest drivers. I get an error on install. :unsure:

After the installer has quit with the error, head to device manager and tell it you want to upgrade the driver by right clicking the card - then select manually choose the driver to install, and in the c:\ati\something\something there's a wdm folder I think with an inf file to choose. This then brings up a list of every supported ATI card in the driver, just select the X1600 and tell it you are quite sure :)

Cool. Nice one. Will give it a go. :D

All you have to do is download and install the the Windows 2003 Resource kit. In there is a icon called remapkeyboard. With this you can remap any keys. I have remapped the delete key to the enter key by the arrows.

My Apple Pro Keyboard has a normal delete key. Only the Mac Book Pro doesn't have one.

Just FYI... It turns out the only way to get Vista on a mac right now is to wipe the OSX partition as well. So it's not a dual boot just yet, I am sure someone will get it working though.

Read further down, you only have to delete one of the EFI partitions to get it to work.

Is there a way to have more than 2 partitions? I'd want Windows on 1, OS X on another and a third which has all my music and movies on. Possible?

You can remap My Music and My Videos to ~/Music and ~/Videos ? Of course you will need MacDrive :)

^ Cool, I haven't fully decided which mini to get but it probably will be the Solo.

So does Windows run as well as on most modern pcs?

I would really recommend getting the Core Duo. Windows benefits quite a bit from the extra core and you end up with a lot less thread locking issues.

My MBP runs XP a lot better than my 2.2 Ghz P4.

    • TerraMaster F2-425 Pro review: a low-powered Intel NAS that ships with AI (OpenClaw)

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I agree, especially if it is cloud sourced, like this one is.. but I wouldn't say no to a local AI assistant similar to the Zettlab one which would be really helpful with my large Photos library, but also to perform tasks like installing Docker apps rather than me having to do it via Docker Compose, but I don't think we're quite there yet. Synology Photos is somewhat AI, you can ask it to search for certain people (if you have tagged them and it will attempt to match similar photos to the person) and if you put a search term in for "cars" for example, it will show you all photos with a car.

      I doubt that Google will keep the same price... it may go up from that list published.
    • Sennheiser's audiophile grade HD 600 hits lowest ever price on Amazon Prime Day 2026

      Sennheiser's audiophile grade HD 600 hits lowest ever price on Amazon Prime Day 2026 by Sayan Sen If you are in the market for high-quality audiophile-grade over-ear headphones then Sennheiser's HD 600 are a great choice for sure, especially today on Prime Day 2026 as the product has hit its lowest ever price (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Sennheiser HD 600 has long been regarded as a reference headphone for listeners seeking a detailed and natural listening experience. It is an open-back design that is built around the idea of acoustic transparency which is essentially said to allow sound waves to move freely for a more spacious and accurate presentation by reducing turbulence and the type of distortion that can result from it. At the heart of the product is Sennheiser’s proprietary driver system featuring a 42 mm driver paired with a lightweight diaphragm and aluminum voice coils. The company says this design helps deliver fast response times and better articulate sound across the audible frequency range. Comfort and durability are also key aspects of the HD 600 as the headphones feature soft velour ear pads designed for extended listening sessions. The HD 600 comes with a detachable 3-meter cable, a 6.3 mm stereo connector, and a 3.5 mm adapter for compatibility with a wide range of audio equipment. The technical specs of the Sennheiser HD 600 are given in the table below: Specification Value Transducer Principle Dynamic, Open-Back Ear Coupling Circumaural (Over-Ear) Frequency Response 12 Hz – 40,500 Hz Sound Pressure Level (SPL) 97 dB (1 V) Impedance 300 Ω Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) < 0.1% (1 kHz, 1 V) Cable Length 3 m (9.8 ft) Connector 3.5 mm Stereo Jack Plug Included Adapter 6.3 mm (1/4") Stereo Jack Adapter Weight 260 g Magnetic Field Strength 1.8 mT Driver Size 42 mm Dynamic Driver Diaphragm Size 38 mm Get it at the link below: Sennheiser HD 600: $237.00 (Sold by Electronics Expo, Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $449.95) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      So the card is targeted at headphone users - so the review should be from someone that uses this - maybe I can review a card next time.
