in Windows can you open up the bootcamp control panel and select your OS X drive as the main startup disk?
And yeah, command+v should put your mac into verbose startup so we can see text showing everything that happens while OS X loads.

Hi guys,
Been a regular reader of the site for ages, just never actually registered! Anyway...
I took delivery of my Dual 867 G4 last week, with 768 RAM, and the ATI Radeon 9000 to order.
Everything flies - games etc. in OS 9 (Quake/Unreal Tournament) are stunning - speed in 9 is blistering, and overall speed in 10 is excellent, which means I now use 10 as my primary OS.
But there's one seemingly glaring problem - when I do anything in the finder (I'm using the word "finder" as in the OS-9 understanding of it - sorry!), even when I first start up, with no progs running, and I drag a window around or something, the window movement is "jagged" - it kind of glitches approx. every second. This happens with window drags, dock scrolling with magnification on, doing the selection box around files on the desktop, dragging HD icons around on the desktop - almost everything, including sometimes minimizing using the genie effect. Dragging web-browser windows, itunes, and every other app's windows also does the same. Also (not really important) - when the apps I'm loading bounce in the dock as they're opening, sometimes the bouncing animation glitches too. But strangely, scrolls in programs such as Photoshop and other graphically-intensive apps are as smooth as anything. As are screensavers (and games) that are accessing the card using OpenGL etc. It only seems to be standard finder/desktop stuff. Video/DVD playback is also fine.
The most annoying thing is, I was installing 10.2 on a new 700mhz iMac we got in at my work today - and, even though it only had 256 in it, and the 32mb Geforce4 instead of the 64mb 9000 I have, the window drags and EVERYTHING I've mentioned, were as smooth as anything - albeit my machine is faster and more continuous, with less "submarining" as the windows drag etc - more instantaneous - but, the iMac (and 2 other dual 867s with the Geforce4 in them and less RAM I've tested) was smooth - resulting in a system that felt more responsive - even though speed was probably faster on mine, but doesn't feel it because of the glitching.
Has anyone any ideas to help me with this please? Is it maybe a driver compatibility problem of some sort, and I should just wait for an update to 10.2 and/or the ATI radeon 9000 drivers?
Please help!
Thanks in anticipation,
Mark

Thanks! I agree, but I do not have a Core2Duo mac. I am the happy owner of a MacBook 1,1.
That link is about the Core Duo, not the Core 2 Duo. I would suspect that come release, it will no longer be possible.

I've had Vudu for a while, since it is built in to my Samsung TV. Everyone gets a free video to start when you sign up, so I watched Hurt Locker a while back. Quality is fine, but the selection is really lacking, and the prices are too expensive. It is nice to have more options, but I've never used it since my free trial.

So will any Macbook Pro with an SSD basically be faster than a Macbook Air 2nd gen? Has Apple done something fundamentally from the ground up with the design/firmware that makes the MBA as fast as it is?
I guess my question is, can you expect 13 second boot-up time, 3 second shut down time and instant on that I am currently getting with my MBA if I buy a MBP with an SSD? Or do I have to wait for a MBP that has been exclusively designed to take advantage of the SSD's speed and not one that just offers the SSD as a drop-in option?

Check your battery health with iStats or Coconut Battery. 4 hours seems to indicate your battery is screwed, unless you have Bluetooth on or you are running fairly heavy-on-CPU applications.

Great tip, but this tag has been around for a long long while. Not really anything new for experienced HTMLers...
Actually, I had no clue about this tag, or I had forgotten about it. I'm sure I'll never use it, but it is handy!

Name-calling is a form of ad hominem attack that draws a vague equivalence between a concept and a person, group or idea. By linking the person or idea being attacked to a negative symbol, the propagandist hopes that the audience will reject the person or the idea on the basis of the symbol, instead of looking at the available evidence.

umm maybe if u have time bring it to apple store to have a look to be sure and tell them what is happening. they will probably offer a solution maybe software/hardware issue
So you think it's not ok that Air behaves that way?
I just want to know if other macs act the same...
Sorry for my English if I wrote something not wery clear and correctly... :)

Just something that popped into my head awhile ago, been meaning to post it for awhile...
There are only 10 (now 11) threads here after 6 months after being formed and the last post was almost a month ago, does this section serve any purpose anymore?

I'm the owner of the site..
The forum software had a filter on it that linked [at] with mailto.. my coadmin set that up. I removed it and fixed it.
Macoverage is the site that I probably won't be working on much, but if you know about my sites (such as the old "Make the Switch")- I often get Apple exclusives.. I need a news site to publish the articles that I find myself from inside sources at Apple and an ADC Premier account.. so I chose to start Macoverage.
