Tech Support / Re: Snow Leopard Upgrade from Tiger

This is a grey area. If you read the EULA's of most games they say that you are not allowed to alter game files, which technically makes all mods illegal. However, companies don't care about people making mods as everyone does it and it poses no harm.

Also, there are no actual links to illegal files. For example, you cannot post a link to a place where you can download snow leopard for free in a way that violates US copyright law. I haven't heard anything about apple prosecuting people who used the disc to upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard, so I doubt they care much.

However, I have heard people who were prosecuted for sharing and/or downloading illegal copies of software, as well as websites being shut down or sued because they were a hub for people to share illegal copies of software. We don't want that to happen to us (or for the site to just turn into a warez site) so our rules forbid it.
it doesnt really matter if apple has persecuted someone yet, all that matters is that it may be illegal and it may not work. It could be possible that this disc works only if upgrading from Leopard. I would suggest you go to the nearest Apple store and ask a specialist. APPLE ROCKS :P

Ok question to hardcore. If you wont Let us post about illegal file links on some of the forums then why would u advise Rex to take the upgrade even though apple has clearly stated that this is illegal. I am not saying that it wouldn't theoretically work but I'd this upgrade does go wrong it wont be apple's fault.

Tech Support / Re: Why does my SWBF lag so much?

oh sorry i didnt notice that, well there are several possibilities for that. Too many to list :P

One that is most common is that your computer doesn't have the hardware capabilities to run the game smoothly.

even if you have broadband your computer may still be slow due to the lack of a dedicated server. Without one you are pulling all the info from the host, therefore you may get lag based on the host's internet speed. Thats why i like COD4 multiplayer better than swbf multiplayer

Dell is a very nice company in you plan on buying a computer for everyday use, however they aren't decent gaming computers (disregarding their Alienware lineup, which are almost as overpriced as Macs).
OMG, i gotta say alienware is the only computer on earth for home use that is more overpriced than mac. and im sure that the only reason i still support mac is because i didnt m=pay for my computer :P

well, i guess since you dont like mac's im gonna have to suggest a pc.  :sick:

i would recommend a dell above all else. the Studio series or the XPS series are the best.(laptops) I dont have much info's on desktops, i perfer mobility.

invertus is right. Alienware are the best WINDOWS BASED computers for gaming , but only if you have the money. I still recommend a Dell. Maybe a Studio or a XPS computer. (XPS are the more expensive one) Also, you may have stated this before but are you looking for a desktop or a laptop? Both of the ones i suggested are laptops.

are you having a bad day jedikiller or something? Thank you for contributing keenmike.  Having lots of users is an advantage to having Windows. Lets say BSD is the best OS in the world (its not), well BSD is still crap because no one is there to play swbf. Thats one reason i think pc gamers dont wanna switch to mac.

No, nobody really does. Fanboys are everywhere, and there are sure a lot of them on this forum.

Does it matter which OS you use? No. Not at all.
you are absolutely right jedi. your knowledge is irrefutable! i will never question your judgement ever again. So next time i think about address which OS i think is better  i will stop and think does anyone really care? Oh yea MAC OSX is winning. *cough cough Apple Rules* :P
