...I am wondering if I will really see a difference in my day to day activities with at 2.0 Core i7 Quad.
...
I know that an i7 Quad is overkill for me
Answered your own question - well done!

I managed to get Portal 2 working on my new 27" iMac by editing a system file to fool Steam into believing that you are running 10.6.7 - I believe the 10.6.7 requirement is because of new ATI graphics drivers that were bundled with that release and therefore this is quite safe (as the 10.6.6 build on the new iMacs obviously has the drivers for the machine).
I've posted the full details at http://bendodson.com/weblog/2011/05/04/portal-2-on-the-new-imac-10-6-6/ but basically you need to change the SystemVersion.plist file in your /System/Library/CoreServices/ directory so that the two references to 10.6.6 are changed to 10.6.7 - Steam will still complain but when you say "continue anyway" it'll actually run.
Enjoy!

I am having a similar ethernet slowdown problem which seems to be relater to the 10..6.6 or 10.6.7 update. Lots of reports over on the Apple discussion boards, but I have not found a workable solution. Suggestions include using a new cable, changing dns settings. Your guess is as good as any.
I have an iMac that seems to have no problem. But my Mac Pro is at about 10% speed.

"Seriously, if you can't find a use for 1TB of space in 3 or 4 years, then you probably shouldn't be buying a MacPro."
I can! :D
"Most photography apps don't need lots of cores (they just don't use them). The only appeal of a MacPro to a photographer is the expandability - lots of drives, interchangeable graphics cards. If you don't need the expandability, iMacs are much much better value machines."
This machine will serve multiple purposes, not only photography. However, I have thought about an iMac, but no can do!
"If you're seriously worried about saving $30 by buying a slower 500GB drive instead of a faster 1TB drive, you're definitely wasting cash spending $3000 on a MacPro."
Noted! I value opinions and personal advice. :D
"Is that right? How did the data get on to the RAID in the first place?
If your friend only has one copy of his files (on the RAID) then he doesn't have a backup. Backup = an alternate copy.
Not writing to that RAID doesn't make it magically safer... Your friend should get a backup if he's smart and he values his data."
I meant after he safed data to the drive, he does not access it on a daily basis. Although I agree with you, my friend will not. LOL He has been doing this for years.
"Not so funny when a thief breaks into your house and steals your Mac and the backup drive sat on the table next to it. Proper backups aren't just for professionals - they're for anyone who actually cares about keeping their data.
For someone with a $3000 Mac, a couple of hundred $ to buy enough disks to keep offsite copies is nothing."
I shall not be frugile any longer. Way to drive home the point! School has ended today. :) Also, sounds like you are speaking from experience.
Sounds like you should be looking at an iMac.
As stated before, I want and need the expansion of the Mac Pro.

]Assuming that disk does what they claim in terms of sustained sequential throughputs (the 3.0Gb/s units didn't, but weren't slouches), it would fare better on the Areca than the ICH.
What you need to pay attention to however, is the random access performance which is what OS and applications rely on (so far, I've not been impressed with that particular bit of performance from 6.0Gb/s SSD's - I've not gone out and looked at all of them, but it's not what I'd have hoped for, which is at least double the previous drives).
[/B]
It's on the system disks, but you can also download it, then burn it to a DVD as well (might be a good idea, just in case there's a newer version).
Yes.
Correct. The only thing on that disk that could be useful, are the Windows drivers (installed by running the setup.exe file on the system disks). If you're not running wireless however, Windows 7 should be able to the latest drivers on it's own (only the wireless drivers seemed to be problematic IIRC, so run it if you're using a wireless keyboard and mouse).
Yes. Install Windows, then the drivers off of the system disk (setup.exe).
Further information can be found here (http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/).
Either way, they seem to be alright value and about as good as any other 240GB 6G drive on the market now. I was going to get an OCz but after reading an OWC article on how OCz supposedly uses off-spec NAND chips it really put me off the idea :)
I believe I have found a place to source some X5690 for cheap, but they are being pulled from an Dell R710 server. Have you any idea if the chip design for the Dell R710 is the same as retail or altered somehow/specific like the HP DP X5690 with a different IHS etc.. like in the below link?

I woke up and turned on the radio to hear an eye-witness describing what had happened. This particular station usually played practical jokes on people in the morning, so I'm hearing this horrific description of a people jumping out of windows and whatnot and waiting for the punch line. Then I got sick of waiting so I left for school. When I got there I told someone that I'd heard this really odd thing on the radio and he told me it was true.
It was quite surreal.

I was hoping that having a render going would be sufficient to tell the system that the computer is in use and do not sleep.
Is there something else that will?

and avoid selling at times when new apple products of the same sort in your case ipod 's had been released by apple , because then the market is swamped by last years ipods, all sold to get the newest ,so you 1st gen ipod would go under in the masses

That's... great. Really nice story waloshin. Probably one to tell the grandkids.
I actually just told it to all my friends and posted it on FaceBook. It's quite the hit, right next to Little Red Riding Hood.

there was a software company at the london mac expo that did just that , but i can not remember what it was called or the company name.
it was able to download a full website and would make changes as the site was updated in the background.
it looked real good

Plug in the external FireWire drive and pop in your system restore disc. Restore to the external drive, and when it asks if you want to copy yoru files and settings from another Mac OS X installtion, tell it yes. One of the options is to migrate from "another partition on the same computer." It'll copy over all your files, applications, user settings...everything.
That, or you could go the CCC route. Whichever.

So the Verizon deal really didn't help them with the iPhone and Apple lost again more marketshare in the smartphone market. Not good especially as Google now ships almost 40 million Android phones per quarter. Maybe a cheap iPhone nano might help Apple to get back into a competing position.

Why would an electronics product company differentiate between third-party vendors? Oh wait, they do that all the time.

I have a Mac+ still and there is no way I would sell it. I have sold a Mac IIvx and a G4 Quick Sliver but that was for Money to buy the next Mac (currently a G5 iMac). I gave my Rev-A iMac to a girl I dating at the time.... but I think that was because of her WoW factor.
