    Computer for my mother...

    The question is, how much are you paying for it?

    Computer for my mother...

    She'll be more frustrated of slowness and unresponsiveness of a 400mhz G3 than with spyware and bad sites on a PC. At least get a G4.

    Should I upgrade my powermac G3 to a G4 or just get a mac mini?

    Why go Intel?

    Intel CPU's are much faster, cheaper and heat effiecient than the PPC. Also, intel has 80% of all processors, and has a large share of the market, so Apple chose them over AMD. I would have liked to see AMD be the choice since intel sucks, but it's about money, not performance. The osx will...

    Amusing Screenshot: God bless microsoft

    Halo is awesome, i have it and i love it. However, Battlefield 2 is more fun and way more taxing on my system. I had to get an extra 1 gb (for a total of 2) and a 6800gt to play it, and it still isn't as smooth as i wanted it to be. Too bad EA took BF2 and not MS and Bungie... they woudl have...

    Should I upgrade my powermac G3 to a G4 or just get a mac mini?

    he mac mini is your best bet. IT has the fastest ram and bus speed (too bad it's not 800mhz) and other features. Also i think it is cheaper than a G4 1ghz. IT's hard to not get it because of the size of it though... you can take it anywhere.

    Smooth Scrolling & Font Smoothing Style

    Smooth scrolling, despite it's name, makes scrolling even choppier than it already is... I don't like it at all.

    Cannot install 10.3 with a G3

    Running 10.3 on a G3 in the first place is tedious. I don't even suggest you try it... At least get more ram. 192 mb isn't going to cut it.

    Intel Inside, Apple Outside

    For games, 3d apps and pretty much everything else, AMD easily wins over intel any day. The sheer size of intel's share of the market (the avg computer consumer knows no other chip but the pentium) and it's dominance with processors caused apple to choose it over AMD. I think that they could...

    what graphics card do i have

    apple icon - about this mac - display/agp cards, don't remember - find it some where in there. I never knew they made 256 mb video cards for macs... I assume you are talking about a geforce 6600 or something better, because getting a slower card with 256 mb of ram is a waste.

    Thoughts on Firefox 1.5

    That's every reason i use it too. Especially the smooth and quick scrolling, somethign that is really bothersome in all the other browsers.

    Mac mini the first to go Intel?

    It's about time Apple moved it's puters to intel! Would have been better for us if it were AMD (since intel sucks), but bad for them.

    That's MS for you. Any software (besides games) that it makes, other than the OS, sucks.

    It still works after 15 years of use.

    I have an old compaq windows 3.1 computer from 1992... IT works fine and has an amazing 8 mb of ram, 270 mb of hd space, and 1 mb of video ram!

    Is the Dell 2405fpw compatible with macs?

    I want to know so i can get one for both my windows and mac computers. I can't stand the low specs and high price of the 23 inch cinema display when the 2405 is here.

    Unfortunately i don't have Panther on the macs at my school. I will ask my supervisor to update and try to get them. Is Expose in the tiger or regular mac osx?

    App launching takes forever...??

    I had a feeling the 27gb hd was the problem... it was probably a 3600 rpm drive.

    Powerpoint problem

    My friend's ibook has a problem displaying fast motion in powerpoint. It's a G4 1 ghz with 256 or 512 mb of ram (don't remember). Also, one of my teachers has the same ibook and has the same problem. The main thing is that when they have the animation where letters come flying to the screen...
