    Virtual PC 7 MIDI issue

    I am trying to play FM synthesis under Virtual PC on windows 98 SE and XP, and the midi plays at half speed. Normal .wav files play at full speed.

    M2 Mac Mini Monitor Recommendation (Basic)

    I hope not to spend north of $600. I am replacing a 2012 iMac. Casual web surfing. Picture storage. I use the computer to back up all our mobile devices. No video editing or picture editing beyond occasional for personal use. No video gaming. Heck, I'm too old for gaming! My current old iMac has...

    Guys I’m looking for advice concerning buying a new monitor for the Mac mini M2 pro. My current monitor is an 8 year old Samsung 34” UW (3440 x 1440) monitor. It works well enough but I can only connect it to the Mini via HDMI (50Hz refresh). If I try to use DisplayPort (DP) it has issues...

    Mac Mini with old school Thunderbolt Display?

    Does anybody have an experience using a modern Mac with the latest version of macOS with one of the old 27-inch Thunderbolt displays? I've read comments on this forum about text not looking great on low-ppi displays. I'm in the market for a Mac Mini (casual photo editing, Keynote, and...

    M2/16GB/1tb or M2pro/16GB/512gb for 4k video editing

    Hello. Some told me that for 4k video editing, always better to have a larger internal stoarge. With my budget, I will be buying Mac mini with either M2/16GB/1tb or M2pro/16GB/512gb. Which will be better for my use? Thanks in advance.

    New Mac Studio M2 Max price hike?

    The new Mac Mini M2 Pro with 32Gb/1TB costs more than $2200 now, more than the Mac Studio M1 Max with the same 32GB memory and 1TB storage. I guess Mac Studio M2 Max may start at $2999, $1000 more expensive.

    Should I buy the new M2 Mac Mini (2023) with upgraded 16GB unified memory, or an upgraded 512GB storage capacity?

    I am seriously considering buying the new Mac Mini (2023) with the standard M2 chipset. However, as a student (using the discount), I can not afford to upgrade all the way. I am capable of affording only one upgrade which I would very much like. The following are the options: I can upgrade the...

    M2 Pro Mini with 8k TV?

    So, do you think it will be possible for an M2 Pro Mac Mini to drive an 8k TV at its native resolution and use it as a display? Also, it it likely that Apple will produce an 8k monitor? 8k at 40 inches would be 220 ppi, that is, exactly the same same ppi as the iMac 5k (27”), 4k (21.5”), and...

    Devious marketing of M2

    Some sneaky marketing on Apple's part... This article points out that they're comparing the M2 Mac Mini to an older computer (2 generations back) and claiming it's 5x faster than this "bestselling PC." That's pretty devious. How does it compare to a current gen Intel CPU of a similar price...

    Cursor jumping and skipping around MacOS

    My cursor just jumps around after mid-movement like every 10s. It isn't much, but say on a 13" screen, if I move fast, it can jump 5cm. I use a Mac Mini M1 and Logitech G Pro wireless & MagicMouse (they both have the same issue). I disabled the mouse sharing with my iPad, just in case that...
