It all started about ten days ago, when Intel released a presentation comparing its own integrated graphic chipset with Nvidia GeForce 9400M.
If Intel could not compete concerning 3D rendering with the Nvidia chipset 9400M, the above slides were designed to demonstrate that for almost all other functions of the chipset their solutions were better, from power consumption to video quality including memory bandwidth.
Of course, it did not take much time and NVidia fired back with its own test, clearly stating that Intel was manipulating data and figures.
In other words, Intel might have run its test with a low-end hardware, not really optimized, and using single channel RAM modules. Who said the worst conditions?
All users who have been using, even for a short time, a MacBook powered by a GF 9400M can certify it: this solution is much faster than all previous Intel solutions used in previous MacBook models. The GF 9400M performance level is simply better than any Intel GMA chipset as soon as you want to do something which is GPU/graphic/video demanding.
Ask TUAW: Bypass the registration screen, install Leopard Server on the new Mac Mini, iPhone 2G AppleCare options and more
Filed under: Features, Troubleshooting, Ask TUAW
Once again, it's time for another edition of Ask TUAW: the place where we try to answer all of your Mac and Apple-related questions. This week we're taking questions about bypassing the Apple registration screen, installing Leopard Server on the latest Mac Mini, AppleCare for iPhone version 1.0 and more.As always, we welcome your suggestions for this week and questions for next time. Please leave your contributions in the comments for this post. When asking questions, please include which Mac and which version of OS X you're running. If you don't specify, we'll assume you're running Leopard on an Intel Mac.
Tom asks:
When I do an install of OSX or after bringing home a new Mac I get to a screen that asks me to register. If I don't want to fill out that information in is there any way to bypass it?
Sure. Once you get to the registration screen simply press the Command and Q keys and you will see a new dialog box come up. On it, one of your choices will be to "Skip" the registration process. Simply click it and you'll move on to the next screen to create your user account and finish the setup of OSX.
John asks:
I have a Leopard Server installer DVD from last year and I'm having trouble installing the software on one of the new Mac Minis. It won't even boot the Mini nor will it work when I try upgrading OSX client to server. Once it installs I get endless restarts, etc. What's the best way to accomplish this?

Apple near saturation point for iPod, iTunes use by teens
The results of Piper Jaffray's 17th bi-annual teen survey are in, showing Apple to have broadened its lead in the areas of iPod consumption and iTunes usage -- both of which are nearing their saturation point -- as the company moves to translate these successes to its iPhone business.
Battle around the GeForce 9400M: It Is Only a Matter of Test, or Taste?
