    I just got 2x1gb crucial memories and they arrived today. Actually, i received 2 sticks of rendition, and I've started another thread in the hardware forum on rendition vs. crucial.

    Anyways, I was trying to find instructions on this forum on how to install these sticks on my macbook. If anyone can find the link, please post it up, cuz so far I haven't been successful.

    I also received my logitech vx revolution. It's bigger than I thought, which is a good thing.

    Pretty odd, we both almost have the same setup lol take out the battery, unscrew the metal casing, press the levers to the side and pay attention to how the old ram was in there and then firmly place ur new ram in there, you really have to give a good press with equal pressure on both sides

    Google should be your second priority then.

    1. Search on NBR. If results aren't found, go to step 2.
    2. Search Google. If results aren't found, go to step 3.
    3. Post your question on NBR.

    actually, like nearly everyone you skipped the very very first step,

    the manual that came with your computer *_*

    haha,

    I think I might have to pick up a vx revolution too, I don't really like small mice but i would really like one that is super portable and has a tiny little reciever that tucks away.

    THe VX is nice. My only complaint is with the vertical scrolling. Even at the fastest speed and the largest increment, it still moves way too slow, even more so when scrolling down for some reason. This isn't what i would call super-portable, but I think it's the best balance between size and portability. And the receiver is tiny as well.

    well portable is a somewhat relative term, especially for me, I carry around a 17" notebook pretty often, usually with a 6x11 Wacom tablet, so a little mouse is a pretty portable thing for me, haha.

    eventually i will get a 17" MBP, i have to have the screen size, and keep my trusty Fujitsu as a dedicated desktop computer.

    my reasoning for wanting to move to Mac is almost completely due to Final Cut Studio 2, what they have added this time around has finally convinced me.

    i think this has something to do with OS X and not the mouse itself. i also had a similar problem when i used a usb logitech mouse on my macbook. try the mouse on a windows machine and see if the problem still persists.

    It probably is the os x. I'll do the test later. But I wish there was a way to fix this problem.

    the cursor acceleration is also a problem when using an external mouse. that's why i prefer using the trackpad rather than using a mouse.

    yeah ^ I think that is correct, definitely my biggest complaint about OSX, whatever they used to control the cursor in the OS, it definitely needs improvement, it can be adapted too, but overall it feels much more disconnected than the nice acceleration control you get on a windows machine.

    there is now reason at all anyone would ever need to move the cursor "thaaat" slow, and if they really think there is they should at least add an acceleration adjustment in the settings.
