[txnoob]

well i guess i only can rember my p4 which well is infested with virses but its just something i dont like about intel i cant explain it my macbook always sits on my desk shut off with my emac always on doing everything and it seems so much faster, and i dont have to always force quit with it as much as my macbook

Ever consider reinstalling the OS and adding some memory to your Macbook. Because I have a 1.25Ghz G4 eMac a 1.6Ghz Hackintosh netbook which is about the equivalent of a core solo mini, and a 2.0 Ghz C2D Mini as in sig. Each one is a progressive step forward. Your Macbook should not be slower than your G4. It has nothing to do with the processor if it is.

The G5 iMacs (and the G5 Power Macs) fill an important niche' . . . a relatively high performace OS X 10.5 platform for way less money than a used Intel iMac or even a Mini.

These "hand me down" platforms are still useful for the majority of consumers, so I wouldn't be so quick to drag them off to the landfill.

The reason amd has canceled all their newest processors is because they are coming out with something new.
the new processor will have 64 cores. it will run at 1 thz (terahertz!) It will have 1 tb of L2 cache. it will fit into a new socket, and use new motherboards to support it's power. The temp of this processor will be 35° c on average.


Behold, the new Quadrilliom processor.

It will come out in 2075 and be obsolete then.

Finally! A processor that might be able to handle Windows .DLL files! Hurrah!

But the problem is, Apple is.
