Intel Dual
What are the differences between Intel Dual Core, Core Duo and Core 2 Duo processors?
Which is the best value for money? Which is best for multitasking? Which is best for graphics? Which is the most reliable? (I know other factors like memory must be considered, but for now I want to consider the processor).
Core 2 Duo is the latest apart from the Intel Quad Core. Get yourself a Core 2 Duo, they are great for all uses, such as gaming and running lots of applications.
Also great for overclocking if you ever got around to that.
Apple Ram
Will 3rd Party RAM void Apple Warranty?
I’m planning on to installing 2gb RAM on a 1gb model Macbook. I’m wondering, if anything happens, will this void the AppleCare (the extended warranty)?
Though I guess I could just replace it when I take it back (although I don’t know if they will be able to find out 
)
But it’s nice to know.
Thanks!
it may void ur warrenty if u buy a ram u should take it to the place where u brought it and ask em to install it to ur mac …
Matte Laptop
New Macbook Pro, should I get Glossy or Matte display?
It is a very simple question asked many times and I will ask it once again.
I am buying a MacBook Pro
And the only optition I can not decide on what to do is should I get a matte or glossy display.
My laptop will be mostly for school, on my current laptop I get lots of glare from the window and you can get it in the classroom for the lights.
I am guessing that means Matte display, even though movies won’t look as good, I am not that concerned.
Thanks,
Best most extensive good answer get the 10 points.
I ALWAYS CHOOSE!
Glossy displays provide much better color saturation and deeper contrast ratios but do pick up glares more easily. The only time you’d really notice the glare, though, is probably outside and under very bright fluorescent lighting.
I’d recommend the glossy display because it does give a much better picture. Matte displays don’t glare as much, but, as you noted, movies do not look NEARLY as good. It would be more of an annoyance than you’d probably think.
I have a glossy display Mac and I really like it. The glare outside isn’t even that bad, and I plan on getting other glossy displays in the future just because of the improved color saturation.
Processor Upgrade
Will vista boot after a processor upgrade?
I have vista ultimate installed right now and am looking to upgrade my processor from dual to quad core. I am wondering if vista will still boot afterwords, or is the processor upgrade enough for vista’s anti piracy methods to kick in and forbid the computer to boot?
With vista, you have to remember that if there is a major hardware change within the computer, it’ll ask you to input your product-key for Vista again. So make sure you have that handy…
Other than that, your experience should be seamless.
Pro Memory
would memory stick pro duo, work on my digital camera that uses memort stick duo?
I just bought a sony cybershot 12.1 mp camera. I have a memory stick duo that works on it. Im looking to purchase a memory card with larger space, would memory stick PRO duo work on it???
PLEASE PLEASE HELP.
You forgot to mention which Sony model it is…but I’m assuming it’s either the T900, W230, T90, W290 or the W220.
All of the above models are fully compatible with the Memory Stick PRO Duo.
A few of these models also have the ability to record high definition video (1280×720). If you want to record in HD you MUST use the PRO Duo anyway, so I recommend you buy one.
Check your User Manual…it will say that you have to use the PRO Duo in order to record HD video (if your model does so).
