quote: the old PowerVR macs were the muts nuts as they say, but mainly for doing professional/raw processing tasks IE: i used to use a G3, 500Mhz of pure power :lol: and when using music software like protools i was able to record 8 tracks of audio in whilst playing 30 odd out with plugins etc whereas on my amd system at the time xp2000, if i could play 15 tracks it would be a miracle!! Same as with adobe packages, photoshop seemed a lot better with the powerVR macs, generally faster etc. However, the new intels are toss personally - all they are is a pc in a different case. And like ive said, my mate had problems with his £2k power book (intel version), let alone the fact that a lot of the software/hardware he wanted to run wouldnt until they released a patch/upgrade - its all very shoddy and a bit of a mess on how apple released the macintels! Plus there have been a lot of comparisons between the old powerVRs and Intels and they still say the powervrs out perform the new intels - then again a lot of that is down to RISC vs CISC etc. One good thing that has come of it all, is that we can now go out buy a reasonably high spec'd intel system (or amd, but if the spec is kept close to intel macs then less problems will be had) and dual boot XP and OSX, meaning we can get the best of both worlds :thumbs: | |

the intel macs are shocking - its just a pc with a different OS installed (especially as ive got osx running on my pc ;)) - mate bought the 2k powerbook a few weeks back, was bragging about how good it is - then took back a few days later as it kept locking up and wouldnt shut down properly etc :lol: | |
