Lol. Just lol. It's a game. Spybot is not an anti-virus. I would suggest downloading Avast! or Avira, and as soon as you've installed, do a full system scan. If you are on Internet Explorer, I would recommend changing to Mozilla Firefox, and also downloading NoScript, and Web Of Trust. Noscript will prevent malicious pages from loading viruses on to your computer, and Web of Trust will tell you about a site by using ratings. You can also get Web of Trust for Internet Explorer, but I would really recommend switching browsers - Internet Explorer is so tightly intergrated into your operating system that it's very easy for something to slip through and damage your whole system.

All current Mac systems use 1066MHz DDR3 RAM and the iMac supports up to 8GB. Use the Crucial memory adviser as with the information we have now, we cannont determine what model you have. I am assuming the 2.66GHz 20" with the 9400M? To check click on the apple in the top left corner and select "About this Mac." Select "More Info," you should now see what the clock speed of your CPU is (EX: Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz). Take note on your following post and scroll down (on the left side) to "Memory." Paste it here (EX: BANK 0/DIMM0: Size: 2 GB Type: DDR3 Speed: 1067 MHz Status: OK Manufacturer: 0x802C Part Number: 0x31364A53463235363634485A2D3147314631 Serial Number: 0xDC4A1E86) Finally, just to confirm, scroll back up to graphics/displays and paste the GPU (EX: Chipset Model: NVIDIA GeForce 9400M) Or if you already know the model, just state so. I think this may be the RAM you need. I suggest downloading Adium (a IM service sans webcam support), Mercury Messenger (I believe it support iSight, but I couldn't get it to work), VLC Player (you don't need it if you download Flip4Mac and Perian), Flip4Mac (plays WMVs), ShadeScreen (assuming that you use a second external display other than the Apple Cinema Display), Safari Beta 4, and Perian (another codec for QuickTime). I don't have any others, but my tastes may differ. Oh, and CandyBar if you want to mess with the dock/icons. By the way, are you using Might Mouse? It is corded/cordless? How is the accuracy and overall feel? I'm on my windows laptop at the moment, I can remember some specs: 2GB RAM 24 inch screen 800mhz I think it's DDR2. I'll post the rest of my specs tomorrow as I'm posting this on a café's wifi :wall: I do indeed use a mighty mouse, but since I work on photoshop which involves a lot of right clicking, I use the mouse I do on Windows; does Apple produce a two button mouse? I've downloaded Adium, it works great! Also, what Anti-Virus would you recommend?

Using proper grammar and spelling would greatly improve your chances of getting one.

Made on my new iMac

Even though I do lots of photography, the focal of this photo isn't very defined, or is it supposed to be abstract?

Exactly, I'm pretty sure that's the case.

My father recently bought me an iMac, and I'm wondering what sort of applications I should get/download; Applications that can help improve my workflow, enhance the performance, since it has only 2GB* currently, and just improve the general look. Also, what instant messenger would you guys/girls recommend? It'd be good if it has webcam support. *How much does Mac RAM cost? Thanks :thumbup:

That's awesome! Exactly what I wanted!

Congratulations Killerwatt! A winners badge/userbar thingy will be sent to you soon.

Come on guys, vote if you haven't already!

Photoshop CS4 Extended.

It looks great! Very nice subtle effects that use great colours :thumbup: Try more selective sharpening by selecting it with the pentool, right clicking, making a selection then sharpening.

Try it again then :mrgreen: It might look bad in your eyes, but not mine :P

Kinda like this: but imagine him with a :] smiley on his face, but have his mouth curved and basically doing a semi-circle. also have him slightly rotated like this one: heres some more examples: http://marc-phx.deviantart.com/art/Tard ... k-90284493 like them, but 100x100 :thumbup: I don't want to sound impatient or anything, but have you considered/started this?

Photobucket is JPG'ifying my work, I saved that as a 100% Quality JPG. Sorry if it looks reduced, but it isn't something in my control.

Looks fantastic. Minimalistic design has really worked well here! Though, I have noticed that the Lightbox app doesn't load very well.

Colours need the most work - if you want some nice colours, try this site out: http://kuler.adobe.com

Black and white is boring. The board auto-aligns your signature to the left.

I hate to be fussy, but 3D Shapes and fractals are designed to be used to make the background, not the main focal.

I would suggest talking to Pomarsz1 (?), he knows about how to program games I believe.

Adblock Plus does not make the ads go away, it merely blocks their source website, so technically you aren't breaking the rules.

bump.
