does anyone have this symptom?

It's like noise all over the screen image. I've tried with normal composite cable and component cables. both happens to be the same. it just that composite cable doesn't show the pixels so obviously.

Firegl softmod for x1600 in mbp 17"

kfc — Wed, 11 Oct 2006 17:22:50 +0800

I've stumbled upon a couple of forums which describe the detailed workflow for softmodding our x1600 in mbp and turn it in to a firegl v5200.
when i was using radeon x1600 driver in xp. it turns out that it has got display problems in maya viewport when i was trying to use high quality viewport rendering together with normal maps.
i've check the compatibilty list in autodesk website and it seems like the radeon x1600 isn't compatible with maya 8. in order to fix this, i've tried the driver which i've modded according to guide from the forum i've found. and it turns out working beautifully.
here's the before and after.

Here's the link of the modded firegl driver for mbp 17".
http://rapidshare.de/files/36315290/firegl...-34003.rar.html
just extract it and install manually by using the "have disk" option (do not use the setup exe for the driver). and install the ati control manually from the installation folder. just go to <location of your unpacked drivers>\CPanel and run Setup.exe.

for more details to make the firegl driver works for imac or macpro. just jump in to the thread where i found the info and follow the instructions to make ur own modded firegl driver.
cheers.

Do we need Apple-certified RAM modules? What is th

kfc — Fri, 14 Apr 2006 15:19:34 +0800

Non-certified RAM issues have always affected Apple computers. We will show that those problems could arise due to both the specific design of the RAM controller used by Apple and also by the poor quality of the memory chips often used for "no name" RAM modules .
The chronic RAM module compatibility issue is coupled to the usual habit of Apple to deliver desktop and laptop computers with a ridiculously low amount of memory installed by default . Originally, this was a way for Apple to allow Apple resellers to generate a larger profit margin by selling Cupertino-designed computers (hardware margins have also been really tiny). However, the launch of the physical Apple Store and the open war between Apple and its resellers have amplified the problem that there is not enough RAM installed by default, which is the main cause of slow OS responsiveness, GUI fluidity, and in general, the overall performance of Apple-branded computers. This is especially true since OSX and its Unix-based kernel are , by definition, RAM hungry , leading users to look for alternatives to the Apple-certified modules .

Complain on some mac salesman :angry:

kfc — Mon, 03 Apr 2006 14:40:33 +0800

Here's my complain.
I'm a mac user for a while and a long time pc/sgi user. I'm very familiar with devices or platform issues. Atleast that's what I had told the salesman at mac asia. At that very moment, I was enquiring informations about Macbook pro which I desperately wanting to buy one.
But problem is, due to the one of the salesman which I feels better to talk to not around that day. I have to look for other salesman to ask about the macbook pro. The moment I steps in, I feel I wasn't really attended or they don't really pay attention to ppl who doesn't dress like rich enough to buy their machine.
ok... i can understand that. I know i was dressing up like a low wage designer anyway.
So I took the initiative to ask one of the guy about the laptop i had my eye on. But unfortunately he doesn't really sounds friendly to me at all. No good from the sales and marketing point of view. He sounds a little cocky actually.
What I was trying to find out was the upgrades for ram if i want to tops it up with 2 gigs and see if there's a chance to trade in the 512mb ram comes with it.
I was surprised that they don't willing to do it. This really pissed me off because this is not the way that business suppose to be. and the most pissing thing about it is the way they address the matter. They even said the 2 gig ram going to cost me about RM 1700 - 1800 (800-900 each gig). Which comes to my suprise that kingston also selling those (what they so called custom made ram) PC2-5300 for RM430 each at lowyat. And keep argueing that those ram from lowyat will damage the machine.
Well... he sorta like commented that I didn't do my research b4 visiting them.
At some point, I feel I'm abit offended here.
The ram they were talking about is the exact ram that we are using in our pentium M processors laptop at the moment. And it's the exact ram that we are using for the latest duo core pc laptops. how come it's not compatible with macbook pro?? they are selling it for higher price. i'm ok with it. but wtf they wanna make it sounds like going to void the warranty (that's exactly what he said). I read it from somewhere that mac laptops ram is self-serviceable since a few years ago. I guess our local Mac asia is misleading our local mac users.

anyway, I've got better service from some other shops at lowyat. In fact I've visited 2 shops yesterday. 1 at 2nd floor Cycom which is selling mac at a corner. They willing to trade in back the ram and install the market priced 2 gig ram for me at a reasonable price. While the ground floor mac shop (which is authorised dealer, seems like not Mac asia) does gave me a better feeling. atleast they treat me like a customer and willing to give me quite a few free gifts like Mouse and a carry case.

I guess i'll be back to lowyat for the purchase in this month.

Does anyone out there got the same feeling as I do?
