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.

    • Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.
    • You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?
    • Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
    • Just saw a news report of a Waymo driving into a flooded road.
