qviri, without SSE2 you're out of luck. SSE2 is the minimum requirement. Hopefully, you'll find a friend with a more recent rig where you can try OS X or you have to spend something like $200 for a new board and CPU. I can tell you that I've an Asus P5GD1-VM coupled with a Celeron D331 and 512 MB of...

One has to eat the cake to know if its tasteful. At least a couple of times to be able to have an opinion. :) If you want to buy me a cake.... feel free to. I'd love to have a Mac for its looks personally, but they're selling for at least twice the price of a x86 system that does what I need it to ...

When was the last time you've tried one, for a long period? Give them a chance, Mac OS X is a lot of fun! As I've said, I never tried one. I detest iPod and its trend, I detest their white colour and I detest even more the Apple elitists. So no, I won't give them a try. They have done a good job wi...

I've heard that unlike the macbook pro in which the cpu is soldered to the motherboard, the imac actually has a socketed CPU. I've read reports where people have changed the CPU with no problems. As far as I know, the CPU is upgradable as well, although I don't know just how down and dirty you have...

It's expensive but it exists... 160GB 2.5" http://www.silentpcreview.com/article298-page1.html With what as been said so far I don't know how the "typical" iMac user would need 250 or 500GB. There's always external storage... but oh well, it's quiet as it is. I was just curious to why... Oh and the...

Good review and very well thought case as it seems . In my opinion, it could be an almost perfect case if it weren't for the lack of: 1- A frontal FireWire 400 port. 2- Stealth drive bays for the optical drives. 3- A quieter PSU fan. Adding this wouldn't cost, probably, more than $10 to the final co...

ive always had a thing for apples, but never owned one. just never had the money to keep my PC's up to date and buy a mac. If you wish to try Mac OS X you can do it with a PC. To learn how to do it go to www.osx86project.org. I'm doing it with an Asus board and a Celeron D 331 and it runs smooth. A...

Good to see you finally giving macs some attention . About some of your power and screen troubles, like those stated in "Much of the power savings in the low power mode seems to come from a reduction in the brightness of the LCD screen, which drops to the lowest possible brightness. This sometimes g...

Tom's Hardware have posted a review of Aopen's i975Xa-YDG board:

2006 seems a good year for silent, cooler...and powerful computing. Also good news from Intel/IDF Spring roadmap, Anandtech and other sites have reviews.
