So i’m in the market for a new (or used) apple box, having lots of fun picking colors and screens and whatnot, but I still can’t decipher their crazy processors and speeds.
Basically I’ve been a pc person all my life and so don’t understand how fast a ‘450 mgz g3’ really is.
I want my new/used apple to be able to do the following smoothly: fullscreen mpeg/divx playback, mp3 music, websurfing/shockwave.
Relitively minimal. I currently have a p3 500 and find its fast enough for those things, but I think its time to think different.
