Re: [CGUYS] Mac Transition to 64-Bit
A client of mine got the 64-bit version of Windows Vista on his new computer and was no longer able to use his adaptive Keyboard (which by itself costs $395). I went to the website today and it still does not have 64-bit version. Steve TPiwowar wrote: On Aug 26, 2009, at 7:49 AM, Jeff Wright wrote: And Windows has been 64-bit for several years now.

Apple knows that some drivers won't work right with the 64 kernel, but it doesn't know if you have such drivers. It suspects that you probably do so the default is 32 bit. You can try 64 by starting up with the 6 and 4 keys depressed and from then on it will run with the 64 kernel. If you run into trouble you restart with 3 and 2 depressed and that puts you back to a 32 kernel. A very elegant solution to a problem that gave Vista users conniptions.

Re: [CGUYS] Subject: Will SL Finally FTFF?
Well, in the past you've linked to John Siracusa's critiques when discussing your problems with the finder. One of his big criticisms (which has always seemed very silly to me) is that the finder is a bad analogy or a mixed metaphor, in that it is not consistently spatial. Since the finder is getting an anti-facelift (mostly the same on the outside, revamped on the inside), I don't think that this problem will be addressed. If your issues are with moving large numbers of files or putting trashed items back in their original places, then these have supposedly been fixed. I'll find out for myself in just a little bit. From:t.piwowar t...@tjpa.com Reviewing Apple's tech notes I'm seeing many small changes and improvements that I think will make Mac users far happier than flashy new features. This may be the upgrade that finally fixes the Finder. The Finder has been completely rewritten using the modern Cocoa framework in Mac OS X, taking advantage of the new technologies in Snow Leopard--including 64-bit support and Grand Central Dispatch. The familiar Finder interface is unchanged, but you will discover the Finder is faster and more responsive. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3737 * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

Re: [CGUYS] mobo won't post
That is a pretty clean board you got there! From looking at it (and the manual), it doesn't seem as though the one jumper block could cause the no POST. Since you have already checked the CPU, and are sure it is seated properly, I would verify the power supply. (If you don't have a voltmeter use a known good power supply, it doesn't need to be mounted only connect to mobo and power to test) If that tests out IMHO and experience it has to be the mobo.
