Hi all,
I have a request and question.
Request: Don't flame me.
Question: Why are Macs slow?
Explanation: Being a mac user since 1999, I haven't really noticed that Macs were lacking "responsiveness", or "snapiness". But at work, I use a budget Pentium 4HT Hewlett Packard box, and dammit, I have to admit, this thing IS snappy. I mean, you open IE6, open MacRumors, scroll down, all that being done quickly and smootlhy as hell, with 512MB RAM and intel xpress graphics...
On my MacMini, on a MacBook Pro, on a G5, ect. I can feel something is holding it back, like a lag maybe. Why's that?
Anyone got a clear answer?
PS: I have upgraded the 1.66CD mini to 7200rpm HD and 2GB RAM. Should be snappy as hell, no?
How about Leopard? Will it be "snappier?"
PS2: I love my MacMini, don't worry. PC is for Solitaire.
