May be a related issue but sometimes after a restart or wake from sleep my machine looses network connectivity for about 5 minutes. This is with a wired Ethernet connection using static IP - weirdly system preferences shows a green light but you can't even access devices even with an IP address.
I'm much rather dual boot to Ubuntu than Windows 8. I'd like to try out Ubuntu. But as far as I can tell, there's no easy way to do that.
You could install it under VirtualBox, which is also free.
You'd get a good enough idea as to whether or not you're going to like it.
Thanks mate, I knew what happens, just forgot the specifics, thanks for the links!
(oh, and while I realize the Mac Pro - currently - supports only SATA II, I figured I grab the SATA III 6G SSD just in case
)PPS I noticed mention of 6G SandForce SSD having reported issues:
I've had my OWC Mercury EXTREME 6G for well over a year, possibly longer, haven't had an issue yet (knock on wood).

WebKit was a life saver for me on my old 2008 MBP. Recently Safari has been good enough to skip the variability in WebKit. Personally frame rates aren't all that important to me as I've never been a big gamer.
I was holding out for a long time for USB 3.0 but frankly my iPad 3 has allowed me to extend the usefulness of my MBP. It is to the point that I only occasionally use my MBP as a portable device. If the 2014 machines get Haswell, every model form the AIR on up will become very interesting to the point that i might fell compelled to upgrade. Stick it out!
Mac OS X in my opinion is where Apple puts most of its innovation. It's so far ahead of the competition. iOS not so much, but it's still the best.

Ubuntu works with Bootcamp (or at least it did for me). I just put in the Ubuntu disc when it said to put in Windows. However, it makes a retarded swap partition that's annoying to remove.
Advice: Ubuntu sucks on a PC. It's not worth it. Try it in VirtualBox, but I wouldn't waste time with a dual-boot.

Win7 is the same thing but cleaner. You're not missing out.

That's surprising. I expected an iPhone ad with a few modifications.

Interesting, the comments debunk much of what the original article states regarding SandForce controllers. I believe one individual, JellyRoll, discusses the issue:
Which was posited by user FunnyTrace:
It seems SandForce uses data differencing.
The author states in response:
It appears these "tests" are on the extreme of the bell curve, something many (if at all) would not experience in real world scenarios. As far as SandForce seems to be concerned, it has its own methods in handling data that TRIM seems to conflict with, making TRIM unnecessary. All good in my book
That was for the HDMI screen blanking out. The problem now is that HDMI monitors are showing up as TV's instead of monitors and the whites are all blown out and the colors are all way off even after calibration.

Can't speak much to it personally myself since i don't own a Sandforce drive. Was just repeating the general trend on the forums which is if you have Sandforce you don't need TRIM and enabling it might hamper your drives performance.
Experience will of course differ even more so and Sandforce firmwares mature.
*shrug*
This is a problem for about a decade ago and it is not only refer to 2007 and 2008.The fix is buying an airport express/extreme.
Anyone else having much higher idle temperatures after updating? Before updating my idle "CPU 1" temperature was usually between 33 and 35 celsius. After updating, it hits 70 degrees at startup and then settles to about 50 at idle. Activity Monitor isn't showing any new or unusual CPU use either.
Not in a minor update.

Probably spotlight. Wait a few hours.
The problem was also present on my Mid 2012 MacBook Pro and other models. My external display was so blown-out white that it was unusable for design work, and annoying enough that I just didn't use a second display. I just installed the update and it completely fixed the issue for me.
Tell me that went well. The last time I tried things weren't nice. I am fairly certain it still won't do EFI but at least if BIOS mode install worked fine with my 2010 MBP I will be happy.
I just updated to 10.8.3 on my 15" rmbp, but even after a few restarts, webkit still scrolls considerably smoother than safari on facebook and some forums!?
Am I the only one having this?
