No, the fastest you can put in it is the T7600. The Mini will not boot if it the CPU has a faster bus speed then 667Mhz.
thanks for the info i found one for less then the t7600 and it has a 6mb cache so i was hoping it would under clock and be a t7600 with a 6mb cache

I am having trouble using the photos uploaded to IPhoto. For some reason, when I try to upload these to Shutterfly or Snapfish, they are telling me the file is too small to even print as a 4X6. Is IPhoto resizing the photos? The pictures print beautifully if I just take the card to CVS or if I print directly from the card on my little inkjet. I used to use a PC and I never had trouble uploading to these photo sites. What am I doing wrong?? The camera is set to the highest resolution and is at 12.1 MP.

Hi there,
maybe this is a silly thing to do but my question is...I have a mac mini server with 2 500GB drives in a mirror set. If i break the mirror set and boot from one of them and install an update and an update breaks the system technically could i boot from the other drive and rebuild the raid?
Technically may be possible, but I don't recommend it. RAID is not a backup solution it is a redundancy/high-availability solution.
Things like ESD (Electro Static Discharge) could damage the disk you remove without you even realising it.
If you want a bootable backup, use SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner to create a bootable clone.
Or if you simply want a backup use Time Machine.

If you have a newer MBP with a built-in card reader, use it -- pop the SD card out of the camera and put it into your computer -- it's a much more reliable way to transfer photos.
If you have an older MBP, or a 17", with an otherwise-fallow ExpressCard/34 slot -- pick up an ExpressCard/34 SD card reader. Sandisk used to make one that sat flush with the chassis, but I'm not sure if that's still available -- handy item.

Well, these people are of the "creative" kind, and I have tried explaining over and over again how they need to handle these things. No luck :-). Also, I just found out that they have only tried playing the files directly from the DVD I burned for them. Obvoiusly this is no good for high-bitrate-files. I've tried to get them to use VLC, but I am not sure they have the technical skills to download another app and play the files from that :-)
BUT; I do think that I've found something out. In Handbrake the "high-profile" preset seems to have issues with PC's... Perhaps I'll just stick to "normal" preset from now on, and avoid the rest...

Yeah thats a good point. You are preaching to the choir, I really miss the feature (hence asking Loren about it). I don't imagine it will be too much longer before the 'Services' option in the iPhone version goes as well.
some of those 'services' are pretty pointless. I don't think 2 of them even work.

Greetings MacRumors. Posting here as a long time reader, but i've only been a member of the forums for a very short time. I've been reading some of the forums, getting an idea just what goes on around here and thought perhaps the regulars to the Apple Collectors section would be interested in this. :)
I started working on this project in August so a while ago now. I'm a regular over on MacTalk Australia, and at the time I arranged with one of the forum members to buy up 2 old Compact Macs from a batch of 20 to 30 machines he was clearing out, one of which worked and one of which didn't, a Macintosh 512Ke. For the most part it was completely dead, it didn't even make it to a successful boot chime. Being an otherwise huge fan of the Macintosh (original) body shape and design, I bought it with the intention of doing some work on it. I had no idea what to expect and admittedly assumed something fairly minor.
When it arrived, it was in pretty good shape externally. Internally it was the opposite. Age had taken its toll on the old Macintosh and left the internal frame looking a little rusty, the lower logic board cover stained with calcium, the floppy disk drive gummed up and the rest of it covered in dust. It quickly became apparent that this would be more of a challenge than i first thought.
Being a bit of a Mac nut that has a background of repairing cars, I chose to begin restoring the old machine.
http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/1624/photowvp.jpg
So obviously the first challenge was to make this thing actually power on and boot up. When connected to mains and switched on, it would initialize the floppy disk drive over and over again while whistling... so it wasn't supplying the necessary current to start the machine up, or too much, but all I knew was that the power supply was in a self-protection mode due to some form of fault.
So, I bought a new set of capacitors. Unfortunately the total of the capacitors was around $60 AUD... $47 of which was in 4 mains filter capacitors. So I just skipped them and bought the rest. In the end I needed to bite the bullet for the remaining 4 filter caps, so it has all new capacitors all around, but that was still not enough to kick it over. Admittedly this left me somewhat puzzled. I was pretty sure that would have done the trick.
What was still holding it back was the Flyback transformer. Although otherwise healthy and working, the solder joints securing it to the Analog Board were cracked. After desoldering and resoldering it with fresh solder, fixing the electrical connections in the process, the Mac was able to finally power on.

http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/4949/dcp2364.jpg
I considered that a temporary success, being surprised to get even this far, and reapplied the glue to the new capacitors to prevent them from moving, as they do in the factory.
Even so, I still had a Sad Mac to deal with. There was no error code, just garbage, which didn't make the fault isolation process any simpler. I didn't know what was wrong, only that the logic board was at fault. Many of the usual basic components tested fine, so the culprit had to be a bad IC, which are not only near impossible to diagnose with home tools, but also difficult to find replacements for.
I had no idea where to go from here, so I turned to another member on the MacTalk Australia forums who happened to find another compact Mac, a Macintosh Plus, with analog board issues (cracked joints) and some case yellowing. I at least wanted one working Compact Mac. When it arrived, I noticed the case was indeed a nice shade of yellow on the front bezel and the analog board had a nasty habit of tripping the safety switches in my house.
However the logic board from the Plus did work in the 512Ke and did in fact tell me that the analog board restoration had gone well, so I pressed on with some of the basics. This involved cleaning out the 512's floppy disk drive and relubricating the moving parts, removing any rust and corrosion from the internal frame by means of sanding and cleaning away the remaining dirt and debris from the rear "bucket" casing.
Once all that was done, I took a bit of a random shot at resolving the issue with the Macintosh 512Ke logic board. In the process of tinkering at random, I took the ROM LOW chip from the Plus board and fitted it to the 512Ke board, which resulted in a successful boot. Not surprisingly, the ROM was the same down to the checksum, so I left the Plus ROM on the 512Ke board instead of seeking out another set of replacements.
With a successful boot, I was now presented with the flashing question mark prompting me for a system disk. In another stroke of luck, I was able to find a System Disk in my random stash of old disks, which booted the system to the desktop without any issues.

This was a great result, but it exposed another issue that I hadn't quite noticed before. The CRT was displaying a raster that was taller yet narrower than Apple's specifications and it was also somewhat warped on each corner. To correct this, I borrowed the electronics tools from my high school at the time to calibrate the display. These CRTs are extremely sensitive to even a 2 degree turn of the yoke, so even the very slightest movement will be reflected as a significant tilt of the CRT raster. It took literally hours to get the raster displaying perfectly straight with no warping or blurring of the edges. After that was sorted though, brightness, contrast, focus and voltages were otherwise extremely easy to adjust in comparison.
This pretty well bought the project to completion. Not one component inside the system hadn't been worked on at some stage and all of them seemed to be working within spec, so I was satisfied with the result.
I had some other bits and pieces collected over the years that I was finally able to use now that I had the computer to use them with.

For the most part the computer has stayed in that condition and configuration since then. It doesn't get much use, but it makes for an interesting discussion piece and every now and then it's great to fire up MacWrite, MacPaint or Apple's bundled Maze game (titled "Amazing") and just mess around with it for a while. It has a certain charm of its own, in its design, its simplicity and it's overall retro appeal.
Anyway, that's the story of the 512Ke Restoration Project. It took just a little over a month of on and off work to complete it, and about $80 Australian to build it up with fresh components.
I'm sure some of the vintage Mac collectors around here will be interested in it, and also interested to know it's not the only machine i've done such work to. I also have an Apple II Plus in the next room that's had similar treatment (mainly cosmetic) and an iMac G3 that's undergone extensive work similar to this. For me, it's the challenge that keeps me coming back, but the end result is equally as rewarding.
Cheers :cool:

Sweet. For the longest time I couldn't decide between a 13" MBP or a 15" MBP... I was begrudgingly settling on a $2000 computer, simply because I couldn't let myself justify a $1200 computer that couldn't play any newer PC games. For $900, and black, that's a no-brainer!

I've used a lot of routers over the years, and the WRT54G is the best I've come across. Linksys (imo) have the best looking ones (apart from Apple of course) and the best interface.
The WRT54G also has a fairly big selection of 3rd party firmware for it, the best of which is, in my opinion, Wifi-Box's releases.
This (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wifi-box/wfb_2.02.2.6-tp.zip?download) is the firmware that I've been using since it was released, and it's been 100% stable on me. It adds quite a few new features, one of which lets you change the transmit power.
By default, it's at 25% this lets you go all the way up to 100% However, it's recommended not to go over 50% unless you open the router up and add a fan, as it starts to overheat.

As much as I hate to say it, I would probably go with your friends offer. You won't get the Radeon 9800 but $1500 for a dual 2.0 is a fantastic price. Plus the standard graphics on the dual 2.0 was not horrible so you could get by on that for awhile if you need to. Plus, if your friend is local I would definitely go that way and save the shipping charge ;)

Hey All,
I am a newbie and I had read these forums for sometime now and Really didnt want to input my ideas since there was so much of resourceful people in this forum. anyhow I would really like to ask someone maybe someone a expert at it. I have a Apple Iphone 4 which my friend bought from italy since I didnt want to be tied to a contract or pay At&t for a locked phone anyway since I do travel overseas a lot. The model number it shows on the about page states is as MC605IP, I just want to know wether is this a factory unlocked phone or not.. Cuz Im kind of scared of updating it and loosing the unlock. it anyhow has Cydia installed.

There's an article in today's NY Times titled, "Gadgets You Should Get Rid Of (or Not) (http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/24/technology/personaltech/24basics.html)." It says (emphasis added):
DIGITAL MUSIC PLAYER Lose it (probably). Do you have a smartphone? Then you have a music player. Why load yourself down with an extra gadget? Apple popularized the music player with its iPod, but when was the last time you saw that iconic white box with the dial on the front? Music is data, and many multifunction devices can handle it along with many other kinds of data (like video, e-mail and apps). The one exception may be if you enjoy music while exercising. In that case, a tiny player like the $49 iPod Shuffle might be a better accessory than a larger, heavier smartphone.
