Colours dont seem right...

Well i have moved back to Windows7, and lefted Snow Leopard for awhile, i am having issues with the colour and maybe refesh rate on my monitor. The dark colours i can see it refreshing, and some colours are not showing too well. But if i boot into windows i see no problems and everything is fine. Ill be getting a New quadcore/case/memory/hd/blue ray/monitor and speakers. While i have some info about the soundcard i wish to use, ill wait till i have my system updated with new hardware.

New Hardware

Well ive been looking @ some new Hardware, Apple Wireless Might Mouse. @ 125$NZD, this mouse looks nice, and is wireless. I wish the Apple Keyboard (with number pad) was wireless. Anyway been looking @ this, what blue-tooth device is needed to get it running on my Snow Leopard. By the Looks of things it will work, but not the Feature to turn on your computer while its in sleep mode.. But im not too concerned about this, cause my computer is on 24/7. The other option is Quad Core.. Intel Q8400, or Q9400 both are the same speeds but with the Q8400 having 2mb less cache then the Q9400, and cost is about 50$ cheaper. But i am getting a New Case, dont know when... LIAN-LI PC-A05NB

64BIt Snow Leopard

Well im waiting for my Wireless Network Card, and though ill look into 64bit Snow Leopard, ill be upgrading my Memory to 4Gigs with 4weeks, and didnt know if Snow Leopard needed to be in 64bit mode to see all my Memory. Found this here on how to automactic boot into 64bit mode.

edit this file:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist

Change this:

Kernel Flags


To this:

Kernel Flags
arch=x86_64

Done now reboot and you should be in 64bit mode. Please not you will need drivers with your hardware in 64bit mode, for me there was not issue. But when i get my New Network Card ill have to install the 64Bit kext file for it. Under 32bit mode it work out of the box.
