But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Went for a fresh install on my macbook air....it didnt go well.

After i downloaded and installed Lion i went to disk utilities and wiped the hard drive (Lion is put onto a partition so is kept safe) i then proceeded to reinstall Lion and it wouldnt have any of it. Apple care had not had this problem since launch and put my case up to the highest point as reference after i fixed it and told her how lol. Had to reinstall snow leopard after fully wiping the drive and then re download Lion and install after updates, took hours!!

Its great though, however i sold the air the same day as i prefer the iPad  :laugh:

I didnt have to either, it worked fine initially. I wanted a fresh computer though so wiped the HDD, then it refused to install the OS. Couldnt even install snow leopard back without fully deleting the HDD using zero out data to reinstall the OS.
Im more of a windows man so maybe there could have been another way but i got there in the end.

 :grin: they do but since they changed to intel chips i find they work better with a monthly clean up no harm in maintaining a  computer be it Mac or PC especially if you torrent anything  :lipsrsealed:
