Bennifer 0 Posted December 13, 2005 It became his business when it was posted on an open forum. Kid, have you noticed any difference between the performance of the Powermac quad, and the imac 800mhz, when browsing the web and making newsletters? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
applemoto 0 Posted December 13, 2005 Yes and No, When i boot up the macs the iMac took much longer while the Quad was quicker, and loading safari etc. Browsing the web its self did not have any difference because it depends on the internet connection, making newsletters were a bit faster. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

raskren 0 Posted December 13, 2005 Why didnt you get something better? its not going to keep up with the high demanding programs Agreed. Why hasn't Apple released a oct-core machine yet? I'm certain that Mac Mail is multithreaded! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadowmatt 0 Posted December 13, 2005 I work with macs all day long, the more powerful the better. Even if he only uses it to burn a dvd from idvd the encoding will be far quicker and therefore less time is wasted waiting around. Give it a year or two and all home pc's sold be be as powerful in not alot more so. Download the free version of Maya and put the computer to good use.

Matt T 0 Posted December 13, 2005 I dont think anyone is jealous, they just cant understand why that much money was spent on something not needed. THANK YOU - finally someone understands what I'm talking about. am_fek, if he didn't want my opinion he wouldn't have posted this in an open forum. You can't possibly expect everyone to post something positive. He's lucky I'm not some Windows fanboy screaming "OMG WINDOEZ RULZ". I'll try to explain my point to you again - I suggest you read this carefully since you obviously didn't read any of the other posts properly. He wants to make a newsletter, chat with his friends and do homework - he does not need anything higher than an iMac at the most for that sort of thing. Yes, it's his parents' money, but there is absolutely no need to buy a 14-year-old a ~$5000 computer, therefore it's a waste and he's spoilt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Syphonic 0 Posted December 15, 2005 Theres a free version of Maya? I've never seen a trial version or anything, can you give me a link? Google for the student trial version. I think that's free as long as you don't use it produce anything you are going to make money off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
betasp 56 Posted December 15, 2005 I am jealous and happy for you. Don't let all those guys put you down. They probably have put togther gaming rigs adn own Xboxes and PS2s (all pointless). You have one hell of a machine, be proud. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zolk 0 Posted December 15, 2005 Theres a free version of Maya? I've never seen a trial version or anything, can you give me a link? It's known as the Personal Learning Edition. It puts a big watermark on all your viewports and renders. Also, you're not able to open work created in the PLE in the full version of Maya. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MonkeyClaw 9 Posted December 17, 2005 You're right - just like any other person on Neowin. Oh wait, Chad also has the power to suspend your account ;) hahaha, nice. Chad is right though, I mean if the guy wants a G5 Quad, let him, its not for us to decide what he will use it for. As applemoto, I'm still waiting on those pictures...
