Apple's New Intel Processors

Gabe

Well, as many of you may know, Apple has cut it's contract with IBM and disconnected it's PowerPC line of processors. Now, they will be using Intel's Dual Core systems to run their computers. I have tested many computers with the the PowerPC G5 for the iMac and the PowerPC G4 for the PowerBooks and iBooks.
At my last visit to an Apple Store, I began to run many applications at once and made them all do several tasks at once, I've even opened 14 programs at once. And, very good to say, the new Intel Core Duo processors seem to be doing an excellent job in the Macs. The system runs much, much faster, and I have been able to see a vast improvement in Macs infamous pre-emptive multi-tasking. Overall, using Intel's processors may finally bridge all doubts that Mac isn't a choice to be ignored.

Macs are macs, not only because of what's in the hardware, it's also the OS. As long as the hardware does just what Mac OS X does best, then it's still a Mac, just with a different body.

The news macs can run Windows OS and Mac OS X. You know that right? They have that option and Apple is building them that way. Yes Macs will also have the "think differnet" not conformity feel and be designed differnent than PCs so they are still very different but still becoming similar nonetheless.

Of course I know they can run Windows now. That capability is called Boot Camp. It was incorporated in an attempt to make switching over the Mac side much easier. Inclusively, to prove that Mac hardward architecture is better thought out, Windows ran better on the Boot Camp running Macs, than on their home fields.
