PC is Dead - An Update

Journal Entry: Sun Apr 14, 2013, 2:09 PM
OK, I have decided not to bother buying a new psu for the desktop for the time being, as I am planning a possible new build in the summer/autumn time.

So what have I done, I am now running Windows 7 x64 on my 2010 MacBook Pro! I have taken the hard drive out of the desktop and put it in a caddy as an external, so i have all my data safe.

I had an issue with the graphics driver as the one supplied by apple doesn't include support for CUDA/OpenCL, although it does in OS X, sound like apple nobbling windows users, to no avail as I have the proper Nvidia one installed now.

Installing Daz is so painless now with the DIM, I just left it overnight to download and install my entire Daz purchases, lovely :)

On the flip side I still have all the third party stuff to install, which I will probably do on a as and when I need it basis ;)

So a lot of catching up to do it seems.

Thanks for the help buddy! I installed DS4.5 and Luxus is working. Now comes the frustration of learning it, lol.

anytime, pop over to the Luxus thread in the Daz commons, been some interesting tips etc.

It's expanded pretty quickly tho, so a lot to read, a plus point is the dev, Spheric Labs does pop in there :)
