This is so sweet.

Mx5Xoom · 03-02-2007, 08:54 PM

But thats a good waste of a Mac tho :O

peteberta · 03-02-2007, 09:49 PM

I agree its sweet... but it's just not right.

linuxbox · 03-02-2007, 10:53 PM

Oh I know its not right, but it does serve ONE purpose...

For my lame CIS105 class (required) I have to use MS SAM. Its lame as hell but gotta use windows to use it.

Other than that I played a game of solitare... lol

Yup, my next mac will be a duo core, w/parallels!

Isn't VMWare for the powerpc macs exclusively?

turbored · 03-03-2007, 02:00 PM

nope. it's for intelmacs as well. it's currently free and in beta. Better than Parallels where they charge you money to be in beta.

Sid · 03-03-2007, 02:05 PM

vmware isnt even nearly as polished as parallels. and Im in parallels beta now, its free...

parallels is the best option right now. I run centos, xp, and redhat installs on my macbook pro 2g solo. kicks so much ass.

I also ran crossover for particular apps that I needed before I got parallels, virtual pc sucks dick, VMware is free but not as nice.

Anything Ben Folds is good. Except his really early stuff (Majosha). Kinda weird for my tastes.

Majosha? Never heard of it, I'll have to try to find some!

FooSchnickens · 03-03-2007, 05:31 PM

Be warned, it's TOTALLY different from anything mainstream you've heard by him. I think it was an early collab. work with someone else he did. I'll have to look into it.

option2 · 03-03-2007, 06:06 PM

how well do you find it runs? I'm considering getting it for macbook to run a 3d modeling program

linuxbox · 03-03-2007, 06:13 PM

It runs pretty well actually, the only thing is I think I heard that directX doesn't work with it... I could very well be wrong though. (Not sure if your program requires it..)

FooSchnickens- Have you heard his almost w/ ben kweller and ben lee? The Bens... the album was .. eh but there was one song - Just Pretend, that was really good.
