it wont be much different, the benchmarks done with xbench are all showing around the same score, but if you do realy life benchmarks then the intel is faster

:huh: my iMac G5 scored a 77 the Intel scored a 56....

But then again, me and dave are running a 64bit cpu on a 64bit OS.....

indeed, we also just noticed that the bus speed isnt 667 Mhz like Apple says it is.....its actually at 634 Mhz :angry:

EDIT: on a PowerPC not an Intel

geeezz what is it with ppl and trying to install windows xp on a mac...os x is so much better.

How many times does this question need to be answered? It is simply so one can run Windows apps if they are ever needed. IMO it's a great idea. Sure, I'd be using OSX 99% of the time, but if I ever needed to run a Windows app to which there was no Mac equivalent, then I would be able to.

That's why.

Would the iSight work with windows msn when you are able to dual boot?

I'm sure it would be able to. As long as it connects to a bus that Windows understands, there shouldn't be any reason not to. The only thing is driver support for the actual iSight, but I just did a small bit of research and as long as you cancel out of the "New Hardware Wizard" that pops up for it, it will show up as a generic 1394 camera and will work on Windows.

gah i want my macbook pro :( I'm going to wait though possibly for a second generation so that either the predecessors prices go down so I can afford them, or they upgrade the specs on the current one for the same price. And well, I don't have enough money for them right now.

exactly, thats why if they are a resonable price when i come to upgrade i'd probably get a mac laptop.

If it runs mac osx and windows then that would be brilliant.

its all well and good saying OSX is superiour blah blah, but thats useless if the app you want to run needs windows!

I have a mac mini and think OSX is great, but at this monment in time i couldn't switch completely, i have a lot of programs/games that need windows to work!

there are many people out their who would love to try OSX but don't want to have to have 2 machines to run mac and pc programs.

If you can buy a mac but still run windows on it for those apps that need it then i rekon it will mac more attrictive to a wider audiance.

Face it apple won't be bothered about windows booting on macs they will be happy that they've sold the mac in the first place.

    • Threads scales past half a billion users, brings deeper community and feed controls by Fiza Ali Meta has announced Threads crossing a major milestone of 500 million monthly active users. And, at the heart of this growth sits something simple: communities. From books to basketball, parenting to music, Threads says its rise has been powered by people clustering around shared interests and, in turn, giving the platform its identity. In response, the platform is expanding its Communities feature beyond beta and introducing a set of new tools designed to make participation easier and more engaging. A redesigned Communities Hub will now appear in the main navigation menu, allowing users to jump between groups without leaving their feed. Each community will also receive a distinct Community Icon, giving them clearer visual identity and making them easier to recognise across the platform. Then there’s Community Progress, which is a kind of live gauge showing how close a topic is to becoming a full-fledged community, alongside guidance on how users can contribute to its development. In addition, Meta is also expanding its Community Champions programme, recognising more users who actively contribute to community engagement. And then things go more local; Local Communities is already available in 100 countries, including North America, South America, Asia, and Europe but are now rolling out with native-language tags starting in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. The platform is also expanding Live Chats to more communities in the coming weeks, adding features such as co-hosting and the ability to quote moments directly into users’ feeds. Beyond communities, Meta is tightening the loop between users and their feeds. Earlier this year came "Dear Algo," a feature that lets people tell Threads what they want more or less of. Now it’s being paired with a new tool, "Your Algo." It allows people to adjust how frequently certain topics appear, with options lasting one, three, or seven days. Meta says these preferences remain private and can be managed alongside “Dear Algo” in a unified settings hub. The rollout begins in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Finally, the company says these changes are part of an ongoing effort to refine Threads based on user feedback and that further updates will continue as the platform evolves.
