any consensus on MacBook Pro alterations? April 25, 2007, 10:49 a.m.
… especially for someone like myself who needs it all spelled out clearly?!
I am just getting underway with mine, the box-stock 17", 2 GB, 2.33 GHz, RadeonX1600 model, running XP Pro with SP2 off BootCamp, and am slamming against the hkey.exe wall.
For those who have forged on before me: what changes from the OEM setup have you found to make Houdini run best? I understand perhaps the ATI drivers need to be removed/re-installed? What exactly is involved with that, as I've seen what appear to be differing solutions? It seems from previous posts that jiggling the HOUDINI_OGL_SOFTWARE setup makes things run slow. Would this apply even when just using strictly the character animation functionality, avoiding heavy procedural stuff?
Please be gentle, as I'm a technewb!
Many thanks, in advance.
