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

Actually.....i dont think they said that :blush: in my system profiler, it says 633mhz...

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.

    • Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements by David Uzondu Zed 1.7.2 recently landed on the stable release channel, bringing a host of AI-related features including automatic context compaction and settings-based skill management, along with other things like better Markdown preview rendering and custom git commands in the graph view. Starting with the AI stuff, the developers introduced "/compact", a command that basically summarizes your conversation history on demand. This tool prevents your active chat window from hitting token limits by compressing older parts of the dialogue into a brief overview. In addition to that, the team relocated skill management to the settings UI, improving how the application communicates errors regarding those skills, and updated the OpenCode model roster to support DeepSeek V4 Flash, MiniMax M3, Qwen 3.7 Plus, and Nemotron 3 Ultra Free. External agent users can also monitor context window cost metrics and delete individual sessions directly from their history. Right-clicking ref labels in the git graph now opens a context menu that runs different actions against selected targets, kind of how VS Code does it. Here are some of the bug fixes this new release brings: The active agent fails to auto-select when creating a new git worktree. A scrollbar unexpectedly appears on wrapped code blocks in the agent chat. Collapse indicators for project headers appear when performing sidebar searches. Bracketed ellipsis title prefixes fail to show the ellipsis icon properly. Project icons render incorrectly in the recent projects picker. Diff hunk controls appear inside non-editable commit view multibuffers. The software update button hangs indefinitely on the downloading stage. Restoring an agent terminal in a remote project triggers a sudden crash. Splitting a pane that contains an active commit view causes a crash. Linux Wayland freezes when trying to read the clipboard from laggy external apps. Zed is a "newish" code editor trying to break the massive stronghold VS Code has on the developer community. Funny enough, the editor was created by former GitHub employees who worked on the Atom text editor (which Microsoft killed in 2022, several years after it bought GitHub). The project officially hit version 1.0 back in April, introducing platform parity for Windows and Linux alongside deep support for DeepSeek-V4-Pro.
    • 26H2 absolutely will support ARM Windows just not on devices that came with 26H1. This is evident by the fact I am running 26H2, which on my MacBook Neo and Surface Pro 12 (inch), within a VM.

    • The FIFA World Cup is not US centric.
    • It’s amusing how Microsoft is pushing IT admins as if this was a major, game-changing update. In reality, it’s just an enablement package that bumps the build number, which is disappointing compared to the more substantial 22H2 and 24H2 releases. Technically, 25H2, 26H1, and the upcoming 26H2 are essentially the same, differing only in support schedules. They could have included the Windows K2 improvements here, but chose not to. The era of Windows being in the backburner continues, and this 26H2 release feels like an afterthought. Shame, Nadella, shame.
