I do think they will but before I purchase this I would like a second opinion. thanks.

Whats the point? I mean if I'm just going to turn around and run Windows, why shouldI shell out $2,500 when I could achieve the same effect for < $600? I mean, I know OSX isn't that great of an OS, but sheesh I don't think advertising Windows compatibility is going to sway most folks into shelling out the cash to buy Windows plus OSX?

All the Apple commercials I see advertise Macs as being cooler than PCs. I mean, Mr. PC can't even do simple things like putting together a photo album. Is this accurate or is Apple just trying to BS their product on me?

Hi. The fan that's attached to my video card recently stopped, and the gpu temperature began rising to near-damaging. So to make up for the loss of a fan, i opened up my computer's case and stuck a window fan(long one with 2 fans in it) alongside my computer. Now my graphics card's temperature stays at around 55 degrees C with no games running and around 60-68 C with games running which is a safe temperature i'm sure. But are there any precautions i should take with having a regular fan blow into my computer? or am i safe until i can go out and get a new fan for my video card? Thanks in advance

i recently bought this motherboard along with processor, memory etc. it has built in graphics, but i can't find any drivers, no sorry i can't even find out the information of the graphics so i can even start to look for the right drivers to install.
does anyone know how to find out this information?
I've tried looking on the device manager and even ran dxdiag with directx 9 and they just come up with N/A or exclamation marks and has no information at all.
in fact theres a few devices under "other devices" (PCI device(even though i have no PCI cards plugged in), system interrupt controller, unknown device (that's what it says) and video controller (VGA compatible))
i think that not having this driver is the cause of the visual problems i am having, as the refresh rate when i scroll a page is extremely noticeable and the properties settings only allow me to use "default refresh rate"
please help how i can obtain this information for the drivers, unless you know where i can get them from.
