NucleusG4 MasterBlaster Registered: 04/19/02 Posts: 6553 Loc: Miami, Fl.	Sry.. meant to put a smiley after that last bit... On another note.. it's just like Apple to hobble the hardware. Sandy Bridge processors contain something called Quick Sync. It allows to CPU to transcode video. Much faster than a GPU. Not on a MBP... grrr. _________________________ http://davidbearphotography.com/ ==== When Romney talks.... Mitt Happens. When life gives you melons... you may be dyslexic. ---

F#$%ING Apple is always screwing loyal customers like me... who don't upgrade for decades, preferring to steal our software instead of buying, and continue living in mommy's basement until the ripe age of 35! _________________________ The Graphic Mac - Tips, reviews & more on all things OSX & graphic design.

zwei soporific Registered: 06/26/04 Posts: 2471 Loc: Near an iPad	Speaking of not running legacy crap. From this point on Boot Camp only supports Windows 7 They are no longer updating drivers for XP. Just thought it was a good time to throw that in. Also, Lion is apparently killing Rosetta so any PPC apps you still have won't run any more. Going to be a lot of people running old versions of Photoshop, etc. that will be complaining. Gotta go buy some popcorn. _________________________ zwei � twitter � Roku
