    Fastest web browser

    I don't understand some of you. You complain about speed issues etc, and say IE is still the best for X, and yet, if someone were to tell you that say, some (eg) WinAmp, or is mac relative MacAmp ripped MP3s faster, iTunes, would you change, simply for speed? No. You would think to youself...

    OS X on Intel Box

    Have you heard of sarcasm? And actually. For the record, the actual guts of X will run on a PC. BSD UNIX, which is the original base, is portable to anything from a pc, to a mac, to a frickin toaster-oven. And Darwin, Apple's open source OS thingo, has been ported to x86. Because...

    does anybody know where to get a good....

    Ok. First of all, I suggest ALWAYS using Western Digital Caviar drives. Reliable, and affordable. Don't use a FireWire hdd unless you have no internal bays/ide connections left, it requires an extra power outlet, costs more, due to the case, and takes up extra room. USB is pathetic for even a...

    ATA 66 vs ATA 100

    Ok can someone tell me if it's worth putting a PCI ATA 100 controller in my G4 400. i currently have the factory 20gb and im getting X soon. Will an ata-66 drive with higher speed (7200 rather than 5400) give a significant speed jump? i notice a sizeable wait when copying a 400 mb file, to the...
