Hurts your performance how? I run it on a 700mhz iBook with 256MB (now 640, but recently 256) and I don't even know it's there...unless I try to import into iMovie. I also run it on my account on my mom's iMac (333 G3, 256MB) and, again, I don't notice it being slow.joshuawaire said:I tried it on my Powerbook but it really hurts my performance--so I stopped using it.
King Cobra said:I have no need for it...plus from the problems of FileVault that I read about in one of the Panther-introductory MacAddict magazines, FileFault seems kind of scary to use if something within FileVault malfunctions. Not to mention, lose your password, and... well, I suppose there are some experienced hackers working on an application to get around that issue.
Besides, I use login with a password, so no need for a second password security.![]()
King Cobra said:But, true, there would be a lot of calculations required to get the code...doing it the hard way. I meant that there might be a way for hackers to get around doing all those calculations and just reset "the right" variable or perform "the right" process to allow open access to FileVault even without the password. I'm not an experienced hacker, so I'm not sure if one would be able to do that anyways.
