Chrysler has claimed 'Hemi' as their own. The actual hemispherical cylinder design is used by everyone, but only Chrysler hangs onto the name.

My only concern is that 128gb is very small. I know it will be used for programs only but it's still will fill up in time. Only you would know but the logic is good if 128 is enough for you. You have the right plan for the rest of it.

You know the counter strike source for Mac doesn't give me the ability to bench the fps. The menu is a bit different than kenjis. So I'm not sure but I know I won't be able to run the high graphic games that the pc rigs here will because the GPU's these guy are running are much more powerful.

Is that a negative? Depends? I'm not much of a pc gamer so it doesn't matter. It's all about image processing and video editing which this thing murders! Imagine 11,000 geek in a laptop. People have that in desktop rigs!

Yeah. The 750 will also be internal though. So all Docs, pics, files music ( my itunes is over 100 Gb alone) and everything else can be put on there.
I would only put Win 7, Mac OS, and editing software on the SSD for quick loading

where did you find FPS? on geekbench as well?

can;t you put another 2.5" drive in there Omar? only single drive bay in the 15" MBP?

You can put two by removing the optical bay. Seriously who uses CD's anymore?

They are saying next years macs will come default with one SSD for OS/programs and an HDD for data with the optical drive no longer included.

ahh that's a good combo Kirk... I myself will have the SSD as main OS drive + 1TB 7200rpm on the side

as long as the MBP 15" has 2 drive bays..that's the way to go

Google crossfire for Mac. You might not need to instal windows 7. I'm on my iPhone now and would have given you the link.

i was thinking the same thing, it will make that ford run good and reliable

For sure! Would sound better, look better, run better, and all around be better. We could go hunting for southern car parts while we're there!

Can put two 2.5" drives in any MBP provided you remove the optical drive. I jamed two 240gb SSD's in my 17" and actually gained batter life

that's true Omar, I have no CD drive on my Phantom Stormtrooper... I will probably only need a drive when I install the OS, otherwise its useless.

I already have an external CD/DVD writer, I am just gonna use that

Like you need a full sized truck.

And yes, a Silverado is better than a F150, and a Tahoe is better than an Explorer.

1st, why are you comparing the Tahoe to the exploder.


IMO Ford has always had the best suspension for working and Chevy has always had a better ride.
My dad always told my if I wanted to haul a load, get a Ford. if I want a good for nothing playboy truck get a Chevy.

ive owned both and Like them both. i just feel more at home in a Ford.
Even is she does need a little extra attention
And a tow truck
and if I get discount coupons from the local ford shops for my next " major engine repair"
And if i have to push the big thing.

you know what

Runs and Kicks crap out of truck

Ouch
ouch
ouch my F'ing toe

And if she needs some body work

Would definitely be a ride I would need to work up too. I can ride all day on trails but riding on pavement/cement kills my knees. I would love to be able to buy another bike for road riding. Something that can handle gravel roads but is set up more for speed. My current bike is great off the road.

That's intresting I'm the total opposite. Trails get to me while
Pavement doesn't. I guess it's because of what we are used to I guess.

we used to harvest cars from the southern states in the early 80's, around 2000 the U.S. dollar was high and the americans bought them back completed
