As far as I know Dazzla has it now, but as he said, he "wouldn't give it out".

It's quite funny how he was pretty much begging others and asking them to share it but now he's doing the same thing!!!

I don't mean to offend you there, I'm a huge fan of you work. However, that sounded pretty cheap!

Man, sorry. I'm on a 56k, phone bills running high and the funds are running low, I get at least 20 people asking for it each day. I'm in the UK man and I pay by the minute to be online, it was hosted for a while. I'm actually gonna put it on some ftp space now so if anyone wants it just IM me. Sorry about before peeps, I aint really a stingy git :(

Flyers man, I noticed you've got 192MB ram on your mac. How smoothly does that run OS X?

Actually it runs quite well. On osX is was sluggish as hell, but 10.1 the increase in speed and responsiveness is incredible. I am gonna buy some more ram though, can't run ps really well with only 192 lol :D

Cool, i'm asking as many people as i can about OS X performance (10.1.2) and how much ram they have. I'm getting the Bottom of the range iMac (:( although still amazingly quick, 700MHz G4!!) which only ships with 128 by default, so the options I have are either a 256mb or 512mb SoDimm. The cost of 256mb at Crucial.com is only ?45 but 512mb is ?145 so the difference is massive. So if i get the general opinion that 384 is enough thats what i'll get, but if enough people recommend 512 or higher then I guess i'll have to splash out for the 512mb SoDimm. (640mb total, thats got to be enough.:s:s )

dazzla you do know that you can use regular pc-100 ram in an imac yeah? I dunno if those prices you were quoted were for apple ram or for regular ram (if so its got up ****loads) but yeah, just wanted to make sure you know that so you might as well get 512MB (ty neyo :p) if you want it.

Btw why are you paying for the minute when BT and Freeserve have unlimited plans now?

If anyone wants the objectdock since dazzla can't give it out drop me a line at [email protected] and I'll email it to you.

don't bother posting your email here cos i won't be sending it if you do.

the iMac RAM is like the iBook though right?! So-DIMM .. as in (i think) 2.5" ?!

ok i consulted with unspec before this and he says that if your talking about the new imac its got 2 types of ram in it and the user replaceable one is the same as the one in the iBook, and the other type is just a regular dimm that you can replace but as usual apple dont recommend it hehe

The new iMac has 2 types of ram, normal PC100 internally (which is changeable but not recommended) the second is SoDimm, which is laptop memory. Here's a link to a page which has standard SoDimms available. Only goes up to 256MB@?50.39, and here is a page showing 512@?148.49. So its a big jump.

I have a 128mb SoDimm lying around so if I could replace the internal Memory with a standard 512mb Dimm that would be ideal. How hard would it be to replace do you reckon? and would it invalidate my warranty?

How much ram have you got in your mac WickedKitten?

The reason I'm still stuck on dialup by the minute is because I'm waiting on NTL to deliver my new cable modem. My old one is bus:(:(

If you want to replace the DIMM RAM in the new iMac you will have to unscrew the base and once you are done re-apply the heat transfer paste. It seems to use part of the chassis as a way to dump heat. Althought it is referred to as a non-replaceable part, you can replace it.

I have no idea if that will void your warranty - my guess would be that it would.

The SODIMM, is damn easy to replace. Just pop out the bottom flap and the SODIMM/Airport spaces are right there. These are intended to be replace by the end user and so will not void your warranty.

As for the ammont of RAM, I have 384MB in my mac, but I'd say get the minimum you can from Apple and see about boosting it up to ~512MB. OS X loves RAM and you'll see an improvement. Plus if you're using Photoshop, RAM is a must :)

Well I am gonna be using photoshop (hopefully OS X native by the time i get my mac, anyone tried the beta?) a lot. So i guess that means I'm gonna need quite a bit of RAM. it comes with 128mb standard (:mad: apple:mad: ) so i'll need a 512mb SoDimm.

like i mentioned above they are around the 135 mark (?) so can anyone recommend a place to buy Ram from in the UK?

Thank you RedMak for activating my account, been trying for ages now to post some stuff hehe..

ok on with the show..... Been working on a "theme" for legal reasons for now, only for personal use... (stilll learning how to theme objectbar and only using notepad... am I a sadist..?)

555

Needs a lot of work though esp on the menus (I'm never happy with what I see..)

Any suggestions..?

    • You could make the argument that K should not be included, but FC, the fried chicken, is not the framework, it's the product. It's the Paint in Paint.NET. A closer analogy is if KFC included the name of the deep fryer they used. HennyPennyFC.

    • Apple is expanding Private Cloud Compute beyond its own data centers by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, as part of the improved Apple Intelligence capabilities, Apple today announced that it is expanding Private Cloud Compute (PCC), its privacy-focused cloud infrastructure for Apple Intelligence, beyond its own data centers for the first time. Private Cloud Compute was designed to handle Apple Intelligence requests that are too complex to run fully on-device. The PCC system does not store user data and does not allow Apple or anyone else to access user requests. Last year, Apple also expanded its Security Bounty program with rewards of up to $1 million for researchers who could find serious vulnerabilities in PCC. Until now, Apple's PCC data centers were using Apple's own silicon. As part of the expansion, Apple is working with Google and NVIDIA to run new Apple Intelligence workloads on Google Cloud systems powered by NVIDIA GPUs. Apple will be using this new infrastructure to execute more demanding AI tasks while maintaining the same privacy and security guarantees of PCC. The new implementation uses NVIDIA Confidential Computing with NVIDIA GPUs, Intel CPUs with TDX, and Google’s Titan chip. Apple says it has worked with Google to build additional protections beyond a traditional confidential computing deployment. Despite the expansion to third-party data centers, Apple claims that its core PCC requirements remain unchanged, including stateless computation, no privileged runtime access, non-targetability, and verifiable transparency. The company highlighted that it will continue to control the PCC software stack, and Apple devices will only trust PCC software that has been cryptographically approved by Apple. To take security to the next level, Apple mentioned that it is maintaining an append-only ledger of Google Cloud hardware that is part of the PCC fleet. The company claims this will help reduce the risk of supply chain attacks. In addition to AI infrastructure, Apple also worked with Google to use technologies behind the Gemini family of models to build the next generation of Apple Foundation Models to power Apple Intelligence features across on-device and cloud workloads. As expected, for more demanding AI tasks like agentic tool use and complex reasoning, Apple will rely on the expanded PCC infrastructure running on Google Cloud. The expansion of PCC on Google Cloud will gradually ramp toward the full set of protections during the summer preview period. As before, Apple will also publish binaries for public inspection, provide research tooling, and give researchers access to live PCC nodes in research mode through the Apple Security Bounty Program.
    • my problem with outlook (new) is that it connects only to outlook.com. all connections to external providers goes through there. Got your mail server and want to use imap directly? no way... it adds a connector on outlook.com. last bug; if your email on an external provider if the same as principal email of your microsoft account, it doesn't work...
