Hardware - November 2007

I work at a supermarket, so I honestly don't have a whole lot of money to work with right now. I own a lot of music software like: FL Studio, Orion Basic, Cakewalk, etc.

I am really wondering and researching a lot on this one! I wanted to purchase a MBP at the end of November, but now all of these rumors are saying that new, slimmer, re-designed MBPs will be announced at the MacWorld Expo. So, what should I do? Thanks a LOT for all the answers!

I have worked on the Mac for 17 years but recently, in order not to look like a person hanging on to the past, had the IT people get me a Dell running XP.

While it's ok, it's not easy at all. It feels old compared to OSX. OSX is fast, quick and easy.....Productive.

The XP is very limited, very cumbersome.

When I plug into the mac.....it's fun......PC......not so fun.

XP seems pretty stable, OS is very stable. When I travel, the XP has a hard time connecting to the wireless conncetion in the hotel room, the mac.....no problem.

I don't have to check a bunch of boxes and change a bunch of settings. Again, sometimes it works, most of the time no.

Drag and drop: Mac, easy. XP, sometimes easy, sometimes not so easy, sometimes easy but VERY slow. Sometimes not easy and VERY slow.

Icons, Folders, etc: mac, make them any size you want, XP, five choices unless you change the entire screen size.

When will corporate American embrace the Mac? It's just more productive AND fun!!!!!!!!!

Ok, im trying to put my computer together but for some reason my computer wont turn on. Now i think it may be the harddrive. There are 3 things that can be pluged into it, one for the motherboard which i have put in, two for what seems to be the power supply, and three some other slot of a cable. It looks like 2 rows with 4 little pins sticking out( like this :::: ). Not sure if i need to use it or not and when i ordered my computer, no book came with the harddrive.......... well if anyone can help me out to what it is and whats it for.

#1 (Which one of these (memories) is the better one)

3GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 800MHz - 4 DIMMs

OR

4GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz - 4 DIMMs


Please note that one is 4GB and the other is 3GB, BUT the "MHz" is different... so which one is better? I need to know so I can get the better one of the two. Thanks.......

#2 (Which one of these (processors) is the better one?)

Intel® Core™2 Q6600 Quad-Core (8MB L2 cache,2.4GHz,1066FSB)

OR

Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor E6850 (4MB L2 Cache,3.0GHz,1333 FSB)

Thanks!
P.S. The processor and memory would be for a WINDOWS VISTA computer. If that means anything.

I have had months of trouble trying to get my Striped RAID motherboard working again after the capacitors blew. I finally got the problem figured out (I thought) and just got the motherboard back from a guy who replaced all large caps.

After reinstalling my motherboard it wouldn't even flicker on. While reviewing pics I was going to post to see if anything was my fault, I found my RAM to be seemingly missing a piece. http://img31353.pictiger.com/images/13030823/ Is this the cause of my computer not showing any signs of power-on or is there more to blame. (I'm tired of spending money on this in order to recover my hard drives' contents.) I can provide more pics if needed.

Thanks for any help!
