Rick Brewster Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Not sure about the DVD/DVD-RW drive... Just grab something like this, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6827118023 I've put together many systems with that drive (or its slower siblings when that's what was available). Great drives, no troubles.

Stephan Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Rick, what are my options for Pdn on mac?Thanks surv. hehe PDN is still strictly Windows. Throw in Boot camp or a similar Virtual PC thing. The only thing I could see "working" would be Paint Mono, which is as stable as the Zimbabwian economy. @David Atwell: If you really want to go cheap, get the 9800GTX+. A really decent NVidia card, for a mere 165$. It's like 80% of the GTX260 (Core 216). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Brewster Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 When it comes to Paint.NET on the Mac, there are two options. 1. Pay $80 for Parallels Desktop. It's quite good. 2. Donate a few hundred thousand US$ so I can fund development of a Mac port. Clearly, #1 is the better alternative unless you want to deploy Paint.NET to 5,000 Macintoshes.

TopHATslash Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 How do I install XP on a mac when the only thing I have is the XP that came on my desktop. Is there a CD or something?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Brown Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I'm not sure whether this is possible due to the license, but you'll need a recovery CD. What make is your desktop and does it come with crapware? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 How do I install XP on a mac when the only thing I have is the XP that came on my desktop. Is there a CD or something?? No. Assuming you're using BootCamp, (which is free with all new Macbooks ) you have to go buy a fresh new copy of Windows XP. I believe Newegg sells them for something like $90. Put that disc into the Mac, load up BootCamp, follow the instructions, etc etc. Now, if you're wanting PC/Mac open simultaneously, you'll need VMWare Fusion, which personally I believe is better than Parallels. That's another $80. Quote Create A Professional-Looking Product Advertisment Mockup flickr | Deviant Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's another $80. Or you could use Parallels - or, as I mentioned before, VirtualBox, which even allows you to combine the desktops, dragging PDN around your mac desktop (example.)

Andrew D Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 You could probably step down to a a Geforce 260 / 265 and not regret it too much, unless you're a hardcore gamer. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814150329 Something like this? Or this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814130400 As long as it can fit in the case I gave in my earlier post, it's fine by me. EDIT: Also fogot to add monitors etc. 22" widescreen monitor Keyboard with backlight Simple mouse (the one I have at the moment) I'm pretty sure I just need a fan (unless it comes with the i7 or motherboard), and then a OS, but even then, I may just use Windows 7, and duel-boot so I can have Linux aswell. If your wondering why I need all the new stuff like monitor's and that, it's mainly down to that my sister is demanding she gets the computer I have currently when I get the new one, or I won't be able to even to get a new one, and for gaming, this one sucks badly.

Sozo Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Go for the XFX one, I do believe they have a double lifetime warrenty. Of course, if you really wanted a good value, you could go for a Radeon 4870, like here. I understand that you've had a bad experience with ATI, but I can vouch for this generation, they're beastly.

If you want to go a tad higher scale, get this: link. It equates to performance a bit higher than the Geforce GTX 260+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
