OSX desktops...

[jolhof]

Ah, I see. I been trying to get a hold of ObjectDock, but no one has it, or will share it.

thanks for the sreenie anyway:)

[pagal]

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?

[Silvorgold]

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 )

[Wickedkitten Veteran]

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.

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

[Steve]

LOL! ... No No... i was Referring to the amount of RAM u Recommended! ... hehe

I wasn't questioning ya knowledge dude.. even though i recently gotta mac... i dont know S**T! lol!

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:(:(

[unspec]

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?

[Toxikk Veteran]

i got beta 48 of ps7. it is really schweet!

[sheer]

Dazzla--->newsagents--->copy of MacUSer/MacFormat

you may be able to find a better deal at some of the places in there, ie an iMac bundle

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..?)

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

Any suggestions..?

[unspec]

Well crucial have it for ?173.90 (in VAT)

http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/listmodule...44%2Dpin+SODIMM

That's with free shipping etc.

Care telling us where you found it at ?135? That's a rather good deal, I suggest you go with that.
