No surprise there, having only recently seen the light and bought a powerbook. Maybe Windows is harder to shake off than I thought!
Thanks for the snippet of history, I always thought the first anti trust cases was more to do with bundled software (IE, Media Player et al.)

It was about a LOT of things. Among them IE, MediaPlayer - or rather the competitors' media players like QuickTime and RealPlayer.

Can't test it against something that has not came out yet but AMD chips have been beating Intel in all but a few bench marks. I can't see that changing anytime soon. I still have my AMD 3200 64 bit desk top and would not get rid of it. My first Mac is I book 1.2gig still learning the os. Work as tech support and keep up on speed issue and test between intel and amd.
