Mac OS X 'Leopard'-related Discussion


Recommended Posts

Load up Doom 3 in XP and then in Vista and use a application to monitor CPU outputs, nuf said. XP has been modified to use Dual Core but it dosnt do it to the full potential. The Windows Server 2003 core (vista) has always had dualcore from the get go. Hence most people have better framerates in games after moving to Vista (providing they're not using Cheep DDR RAM)

Doom3 isn't even a multithreaded application. What a weak argument.

Man 10.5 is so damned awesome and so much faster and responsive on my 2.4 MBP than Tiger ever was. I love all the new features cept the new dock will have to grow on me a bit. If you haven't ordered this damned OS get it now before the gremlins slap you.

Dirty lies!

haha amazing! :D woot!

i quoted the picture too to point out something that i didnt notice yet...

its amazing how that window looks with that blurry transparency there. just so great.

is it just in preview or does every window has such a slight transparency?

.......just sucks that i still have to wait. didnt realize that its THE day tomorrow and for some even today...

im gonna have to wait for mid november... :( awwwww...

Looks like smcfancontrol 1.1 does not work in leopard.

My fan speeds read something like -1111111 and the temperatures do not show up. Is there another program out there where I can monitor this stuff?

There is a version 2.1.2 of smcfancontrol (I think thats the version number). And it definately works with Leopard (I have it on my MBP SR).

Whats the point of Apple putting the Upgrade choice in the installer if everyone says just to do a Clean install?

What is so bad about doing an upgrade. On all the documents about doing an upgrade Apple say they keep the user stuff and the Operating System separate to make upgrading the OS easy without performance or other issues.

Where did this "Upgrades are bad" stigma come from, does anyone know?

Does Leopard make our "books" run an hotter than Tiger 10.4.10?

Most are saying it runs cooler now. Probably because before a lot of apps were single threaded and took a while for one core to do but now that both cores can do it in much less time it probably makes a lot less heat that way.

    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
    • How do you connect 5.1 Speakers to this thing?
    • I agree with both of you... It's absolutely imperative that science is completely based on actual proven facts and hard evidence and is not considered dogmatic in any way. Science is not a religion and it will never be, and that's exactly how it's supposed to be.
