I still have a 14mhz Apple, and a 25mhz Apple Performa that I have sitting on a shelf in the basement. I pulled the 14mhz one out not too long ago, and tried booting it up. STill works, but is slow as hell (obviously). I remember how hot and new that was when I got it. It connected to the *gasp* INTERNET!

 

i used to go to my dad's boss' house to play junglehunt off a 5.5" floppy on his amiga when i was a kid...come to think of it it may have been even before the amiga...
all i remember was the rainbow "apple" logo on the screen case.
with the good ol green/black screen...mmmm, hawt!

he was hot stuff back then...no one else even OWNED a computer.

ahhh the good ol days!

 

Did he make you sit on his lap? :rotfl:

 

This could either be good for Apple, or it could be a horrible idea. Only time will tell. Although my Dual 2.5 G5 is more than enough computer for me.

 

sorry couldnt help it

 

as unfortunate as it is to hear this being a mac user, part of why macs run faster is the architecture of hardware. i think steve jobs is trying to steal a ton of marketshare from microcrap. if OS X can run on a x86 platform microsoft is in trouble. ill have to talk to my friends at apple and intel, i bet they are hearing more about it than the news lets on.

 

easy sailor.......

Tiger does run on x86, and it's also 64 bit (big advantage). I wouldn't worry about benchmark speeds, if anything they'll improve.
