  1. PowerPCFan

    I can confirm that my new gaming PC is very awesome!

    So I recently built a gaming pc inside an old Mac Pro case with the Laser Hive kit. My 2015 iMac with half the amount of RAM as my new PC can open about 75 Chrome tabs before crashing, let's see about my new PC. Ok, I'm back. I opened almost 1,500 tabs with 32GB ram and still had 11GB ram left...

    M1Max worth it for 32GB RAM and given usage patterns?

    Is there any practical reason to choose M1Max over M1Pro for a heavy office usage / occasional disk-intensive data analysis / heavy photo editing?

    MBPro 13" i7/32/512 vs i7/32/(1/2TB) SSD speed - Apps developing.

    Upgrading from MBPro 15" 2017 (i7 2.9, 1TB)... I decided to go with the 13" for developing (iOS, web, Android). The screen size really does not matter because I will be using it connected to external monitor (work, home) for 90% of the time - mostly closed / sometimes coding. Portability, fast...

    15" battery life, 16GB/560X vs 32GB/555X?

    I have a question regarding these two. If I understand correctly Apple put in a bigger battery in the 2018 15" to handle DDR4 RAM. So would 32GB use less or more power vs going with 16GB and potentially maxing it out and using swap memory? I have a choice between two refurb models, 16GB/560X...

    MBP2018 with 32GB RAM

    hi, Just ordered a new MBP 2018 with 32GB RAM. Considering the RAM is directly soldered to the main board, does anyone know how Apple handles non-standard build orders? Will they dismantle off-the-shelf standard unit and solder the extra memory?
