I'm trying to convert my dual xeon workstation into a mac pro!

How?

InsanelyMac Forum

Read about the "OSx86" project. How to install Mac on your PC!

Got the 10.5.2 kalyway image, waiting for my 1tb to arrive, make partition on it, and experiment!

If this actually works out, and logic pro runs FIIINE, then i'll be buying a license for Leopard and Logic Pro!!!!!

^^aah, thats nice!

if u r a nVidia fan boy then u should wait, coz ATI is coming with 48xx, 45xx, 43xx series and then nVidia prices are bound to come down.

[gold_heart007]

it's good if u buy from XFX, zotac etc, coz Palit has lower clock speed. If u have a budget of 9.5K the strechit a bit and buy ATI 4850 . It's much better.

hmm..even i was thinkin about the XFX one! however, the xfx cards are quite costly. Any idea about the price?
And about going for ATi. See, thats what i call addiction. I am addicted to Nvidia just in the same manner i am addicted to Pulsars!

I have seen lot of heating and "electric stove edition" comments on XFX 8600GT . Hope thats resolved now

hehe...true! Nonetheless i am one of the Proud Owners of XFX8600GT!
IMO, its not that HOT than what ppl says it to be. Mine has never crosses 90 degrees mark! And that too under severe stress conditions. That was an yr ago. After that, i modded it to remain cool. Just an AS5 paste along with a overhead 80mm fan, and my card still remains within 80!!
Not to mention, i overclocked it hard, i.e. 715/920(1840MHz effective)!
All in all, a gr8 overclocking card, i say.
About the resolution, well...UDF7 models were discontinued later on.

ok, anyone own 9800GT ?? If, yes then please comment about its VFM !

@tazz - In vista, the media center is used to view all our multimedia files in one place, be it pics, videos, tv, etc. I mean something like a home theater software.
@prakash - i found this while browsing the web. looks like a nice alternative to vista's mediacenter. Elisa - Home

[prakash_mvpa]

@crazy : there is a package and custom distros also reg the same(forgot the package name!).

[tazz]

Is there any software for ubuntu which is like the 'media center' we have in vista?

I have no idea what 'media center' is but i guess what you are looking for is here :-
Medibuntu :: Multimedia, Entertainment & Distractions In Ubuntu
