Which OS are you using on the Mac?

[i hate ram]

OSX tiger

Correct, OSX 10.4.2 - anyone know when 10.4.3 is to be released? - I heard earlier October.

I love my mac, just need to speed it up a little - although suprisingly it is very fast. And need to buy another mouse so my parents dont keep stealing mine for their PC - its an MS mouse.

An MS mouse on your MAC?
I thought that MACs were all about that useless singlebutton mouse.
There are two things I don't like about makes, the layout of everything, and that mouse.

Hey, the new Apple mouse pwns any MS mouse. No clicks, but actually more buttons than a MS mouse. Really neat thing to buy. And what you mean about the layout?

[loserOlimbs]

Mostly its just habit, the close button being on the wrong side of the forms, that thing that spins when you want to open something. The way the menus work. It just doesn't work for me.

You can skin a mac just like you can skin windows

[loserOlimbs]

Well don't get me wrong, I like MACs, just the GUI seems illogical.
I plan on buying a MAC soon, before Intel starts making their CPUs.

[I Fix 4 U]

Oh, i was gonna w8 until intel is in them. Im an AMD fan but intel on mac sounds neat. not to mention i'll be able to put windows on there too, and more likely will games be ported. I find the gui easy actually, I but I do like windows better. I've been through harder gui woes in the older linux days.

I have been sceptical about macs for a long while. And never thought much about the pretty GUI, but after using it properly, I give mac a fair bit of credit. I am pretty impressed and could almost see myself using it as a full time computer.

I love the power PC chips, I just hope Apple and Steve Jobs can program around Intel's lack of insight into their own industry.
You won't have a G6, your have a PentiumG or some other name which will make you cry when you realise you just paid 2k for what AMD could have done for 1.3k.

[I Fix 4 U]

Yes, we know Apple would be better with AMD, *but* The intel in the Apple will be different (hopefully) from that of the Pentium series. I foresee a totally new chip that will be really nice and will keep Apple's name high. (hopefully)

[loserOlimbs]

The reason Apple decided to go Intel was to be able to bring costs of a new Apple system down, this doesn't sound like a custom Intel chip to me.

[I Fix 4 U]

That was not the only reason. It was because IBM could not develop the chips apple wanted in their computers. I doubt they will be pentiums. What is ironic is look @ the chip in the xbox

A 733mhz Pentium III?
What should really be looked at is the Gamecube. It proves how hardware should looked at, a 405mhz Power PC chip, and a custom ATI graphics card. Microsoft liked it so much they had Nintendo design the 360.
