Hi folks,
I've moved on to a new job now, doing more hard-core networking & security, and I'm running into a 'glass wall' in terms of functionality & performance. I bought my MacBook pro because it's really good hardware & nice & portable, not to mention it looks really slick.
I want bump up the memory to the max 4GB & to load on Ubuntu, and then run OS/X & windoze in VMWare.
But I need to set up a recovery system so that I can get back to 'normal' in a pinch if all goes wrong. Unfortunately I did not bring my original OEM OS disks with me.
Could anyone please assist me or give some advice. I'll scour the ubuntuforums for more info
Thanks
- J

So intel are deciding to finally innovate a solution people have been
asking for years.
[Intel today revealed it can convert single threaded software to
multithreaded mode without any code modification. The new 'speculative
parallel threading' process monitors software and examines whether its
processes can be run in parallel. If they can execute succesfully, the
software can be recompiled to run as a multithreaded app. Intel says it
has realised that programmers are going to need machine help to get
software running as multithreaded. "We can't blame the programmers," an
Intel spokesman said. "The industry has been complaining for 30 years
about how difficult parallel programming is."]
