News for Saturday, 9 September 2006

One of our readers, Jean-Louis, has tested Parallels on his Mac Pro, but he has been unsuccessful. It was so unstable that one could not even imagine use it. It seems that Parallels does not work on Mac Pro featuring more than 2GB of RAM... a bit small for a Pro-dedicated computer. In addition, Parallels is also unstable when a Radeon X1900 XT is installed in the Mac Pro.
In addition, Parallels seems to have more problems to manage Xeon's virtualization features than with the Core Duo or Core 2 Duo.
So, Parallels on the Mac Pro remains a beta version, and more works are still required before making it a really useful solution for Pro users.

After one difficult week for macbidouille/hardmac due to the failure of one of our server, we think that next week, right on time for the Apple Expo, everything should be back to normal.
We have identified the problems, and partially fix them, since you can read those lines.
However some problems would not be fixed before the entire migration to a new server is achieved, this includes our RSS feed which is currently not working properly.
By the end of the month, the website will be hosted over 4 servers, we will talk about it later as it will be the occasion to launch a new service for our readers and visitors (still secret for the moment ;) )
So if Hardmac does not look exactly as it used to be, please be patient, we are still going to work on it over the week-end.
