Choose : Toshiba or Apple?

A lot of people bash the Mac because it has delayed & limited number of games. The question I have is this, why spend $500 on a video card when a video console costs below $150. Video consoles are complete computers dedicated to gaming and only lacks a display. Video consoles dont crash. Video consoles rarely have bugs. Video consoles wont be outdated until 5 years later. Video consoles are a heck a lot more simple than a Windows or Mac machine. Video consoles do not have viruses, malware or whatnot.

I find PC gamers hilarious. They balk at paying a premium for a iPod and yet are willing to fork out almost $700 for a video card and almost a thousand dollars for the fastest AMD/Intel chips which they overclock & void their warranty. This is just me but I could buy a GameCube, PS2 and Xbox for that money and have some change for extra controllers & memory cards.

It is as if people bought surplus delivery trucks to fetch the kids to school because they have the capacity to bring the whole clan wherever they go.

Wala ako masabi sa mga alam ni OTO, elib ako sayo kapatid!

Ngayon ko lang nalaman na hindi pala pedeng mag jump ng update from 10.2 to 10.4 kailangan pala incremental. So, Im on 10.2.8 update right now sa G4 desktop. Sa sobrang bilib ko kay OTO, magagamit ko na yung G4 ko sa office which has been collecting dusts :hihihi: I never really used the G4 with anything else but restoring the images for our client machines. So now, medyo ma explore ko na ang Mac.

G4 1GHz, 1.5GB, SuperDrive, 80GB slave and 40GB master hdd.

In your case I'd suggest backing up all your data and do a clean install to 10.4/Tiger. Is that a Quicksilver 2002 with a dual 1GHz processor? The specs look familiar. My friend has a similar machine and works brilliantly. A lot has changed from 10.2 to 10.4.

I should be paid by Apple. ;)

galeng ah, June 2002 purchase date and Dual 1GHz processor nga! Paired with a 22" Apple Cinema Display ADC. ginagamit ko lang pampanood ng DVD ito eh, haha.

I just found out na hindi pala gumagana ang Remedy app sa Mac

another thing I found, 10.2.8 ang current version ko. Akala ko update lang yun pala may bayad na ang 10.3. Kumbaga sa Windows another type of OS na pala yon. Langya, akala ko kse driver lang dahil sa naming convention na ginagamit ng Mac. Fortunately, I was able to find a 10.4 version sa G5 Dual 2.5GHz which will be going out to one of our client, I can use it for testing purposes.

OSX 10.4/Tiger
"Bundled software only, cannot be installed."

OS X is just a brand similar to Windows.

MS has a similar Windows update scheme.
Windows 95 (1995)
Windows 95 OSR2 or OSRB (1997)
Windows 98 (1998)
Windows 98 SE (1999)
Windows 2000 (Q1 2000)
Windows ME (Q2 2000)
Windows XP (2001)
Windows XP SP1 (2002)
Windows XP SP2 (2004)
Longhorn (2006)

Apple's OS X timeline is...

Mac OS X v10.0 "Cheetah" March 2001
Mac OS X v10.1 "Puma" September 2001 (Free update)
Mac OS X v10.2 "Jaguar" August 2002
Mac OS X v10.3 "Panther" October 2003
Mac OS X v10.4 "Tiger" April 2005
Mac OS X v10.5 "Leopard" Late 2006

For the price the OS updates are worth it. Each point update speeds up any Mac from most G3s to the more recent G5s. I havent heard of any personal computer or computer for that matter that speeds up after every OS release. It gives a new meaning to the word "upgrade".

The copy of Tiger on the PowerMac G5 should work on the PowerMac G4. Friend used his G5's OS X DVD installer on his G4 and it worked.
