ashevans09 Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Quiiiiick question - is that an intel processor?
nig Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Bump...I owned a g4 mac, they are very worrying....they just work perfectly, with no fuss...
charic Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 Its a weird sensation isnt it? Im considering a MacMini just to hook into my tv at home
Kev Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 (edited) im currently using a powerpc iMac with very similar spec to this, works great and imo is the best looking computer ever made Notice you are running leopard on it, does it run well?? Im still running tiger, as i was wary of how leopard would perform sub 2gb ram... Edited August 29, 2009 by Kev

Wireless keyboard and mouse on the coffee table, no sign of the computer anywhere and the internet on a 32" Samsung Series 3. Love it.

pantherairsoft Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 I never used Tiger. My Mac Mini is 4gig and Leopard runs like lightning
CHRISDABASS Posted August 30, 2009 Author Posted August 30, 2009 so many replies all of a sudden! This mac is THE most stable computer ive ever had the pleasure to use! leopard runs brilliantly and everything just seems great!! The one and only reason im having to sell it is because the newest version of Apple's recording/production software, Logic requires an Intel processor to run correctly! but thats it! everything else runs very smoothly indeed and i'll be really sad to see it go!
The Burpster Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 If I hadnt just upgraded my Mini I'd had this off you like a flash - However now I'm running with the dual core processor...... WOW....
