Yeah... 0.2 GHz! :P

You also get a lesser hard drive and graphics card with the 2.0 GHz.

Okay. So it has nothing to do with how fast or good programs will run..its only the RAM..
GOOD! :)

Don't get a used PPC (non-Intel) Mac if you want to run the latest software, it won't work out.


It's getting to the point you can't even use them for Internet because the browsers don't support them in the newest versions necessary for many sites. :(

Macbook Pro all day.

The newer one's with backlit keys.

Mine (15 inch) was stolen a month ago, I'll get another one.

DAMN! :shock:
Sorry to hear that Clint.

Word's cannot explain how heartbroken I am.

If it was just a windows laptop I wouldn't be bothered, just inconvenienced.

Still got the trusty old PPC G5 (Runs Logic Pro 8, but not 9. Runs Pro Tools 8, but not 9) so there's some consolation.

Latest version Mac DAW's in many cases need INTEL processors, be warned.

Cheered myself up by unexpectedly copping a Roland TR-808.

Every cloud has a silver lining...
