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.

    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      What about HL3?

      But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.

      Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates

      By zikalify · Posted

      Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
