OS X :: Advantages Of Mac Of Windows

Apr 22, 2005

many people have asked this already probably, but i was wondering about the advantages of Mac OS over Windows. i've heard some but they never made any sense to me. i've become somewhat tired of windows and the associated programs. but Mac is also very expensive. can you people give me any opinions or even links to hard facts about the differences between the operating systems.

MacBook Air :: Advantages Of 1.6 GHz?

Dec 4, 2008

Are there any tests that compare a 1.6GHz to 1.8GHZ(1.86GHz for Rev B) with the exact same configuration? For example I would be interested in comparing 1.6GHZ with HDD with a 1.8GHZ with HDD(Not SSD). The reason I ask is I would think the 1.6GHz would generate less slightly less heat and have a slightly longer battery life as compared to the 1.86GHz. So there might be more than just money saved when going with a 1.6GHz

OS X V10.7 Lion :: What Are The Pros And Cons Of Upgrading To Lion OS?

May 13, 2012

I've been debating switching to Lion, but I'm not really sure if it's worth it.  I have Snow Leopard on my Macbook now and I have a general idea of what the upgrade includes, but I'm not positive. The one major reason I want to switch is to simplify syncing with iCloud.

IMac :: Advantages To Matching RAM?

Sep 23, 2010

Just a quick question for anyone kind enough to take a moment to answer: I have a 24" 2.93GHz Core2 Duo iMac (last year's model) that shipped with 2 x 2GB (hence total 4GB) of RAM. I am starting to feel the crunch from more memory-intensive programs, and so the time has come to upgrade. is there a clear performance advantage to installing matching RAM sizes, as opposed to 2 sticks of different sizes? I noticed that [URL] currently offers an 8GB kit (2x4GB) for around $260. This is a bit beyond my budget, so I was thinking of instead just getting one 4GB through them for $130, and then mixing it with the Apple 2GB stick which is already in the computer. Would I see a significant performance upgrade with the 6GB mismatched RAM vs. the 4GB matched?

Mac Pro :: Advantages To Getting Multiple GPUs?

Aug 24, 2009

I'm planning to buy a Mac Pro soon (within a week or so), and I'm wondering about the GPU setup. My question: Is there a processing advantage to getting multiple GT120's? I'm running two 30" ACD's so I know I don't need the extra card to support two monitors. But I'm wondering if Aperture, Photoshop, Lightroom, and other GPU intenstive apps would be able to take advantage of having two GPU's? Fyi - I'm planning on the 8x2.66GHz, 12GB ram, 1TB internal (I use drobo's for storage)...so just wondering what would be optimal for my photographic processing (and some videos with the 5Dmk2 camera).

PowerPC :: Advantages To Holding On To IBook G4

Jun 15, 2008

I was planning on selling my iBook G4 to assist in buying a refurb MB, but might there be any advantages to hanging on to it? The only thing I can think of is as an additional backup, but as it is only 60 GB, doesn't seem worth it. Book G4, 1.33, 640MB, 60 GB. Any creative uses for it or is it best to sell?

Mac Pro :: The Advantages Of Using Server Grade Processors?

Apr 2, 2009

I noticed that with the new dell precisions workstations that the standard configuration is as a server, not really a desktop which made me wonder what advantages server grade machines offer over desktop machines.

With the Mac Pros, one of the reasons why they are so expensive (well, a lot of the reason why) is because they use processors that intel created for servers and workstations as opposed to desktop computers. What is the advantage of these processors over your typical desktop processors?

(and are all the Mac Pros using server grade processors?)

OS X :: Clean Install Or Upgrade - Advantages?

Aug 16, 2009

I'm looking forward to SL as much as everyone else, but was wondering what the advantages of doing what I've seen on here as a "clean install" versus just putting in the disk with Leopard installed and letting it upgrade? How would I go about doing a clean install anyway, would I have to make a copy of my HD or something?

Windows On Mac :: Advantages Of 7 Over XP And Vista - Speed For Gaming?

Jun 25, 2009

I was told by my friend that you can now pre-order Windows 7 upgrade "Home Edition" from Best Buy for 50 dollars. This seems like a damn good deal for a Windows operating system. Right now I am dual-booting Windows XP with Mac OS X Leopard on a Penryn MacBook Pro. I plan on upgrading to Leopard once it comes out, and maybe Windows 7, but I am not sure if it is worth the money over XP or Vista. I bought Windows Vista Home Premium Edition about two years ago, installed it, and it worked decent. The only problems I really had with it was I didn't like the new UI, it wasn't slow, but it wasn't fast either, and it didn't run a lot of old games I enjoyed. So I erased it and installed XP and haven't looked back. I actually prefer XP's default blue UI over the new, corny stuff. If I had it my way, Windows would still be using the Windows 2000 UI.

-What advantages does Windows 7 have over XP and Vista?
-How comparable in speed is it to Windows XP and Vista in gaming and everyday use?
-Is it possible to install older UIs onto 7?
-Should I get 64-bit or 32-bit?
-Can I upgrade from XP to Windows 7?

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Slow Shutdown After Upgrading

Feb 9, 2012

I upgraded my wife's Late-2007 MacBook White to Lion and now sleeping and shutdown take a very long time. On Snow Leopard, sleep and shutdown was instantaneous! Close the lid and BAM! done. Selecting shutdown on the menu and BAM! turned off. 

Now, after upgrading to Lion, they take a really long time. I deleted the shutdown log, turned off the computer and then turned it back on and checked on it. All processes go in less than a second, but com.apple.securityd doesn't exit at all and has to be killed as I see this message on the log: 

19988665     1 com.apple.launchd                           28 com.apple.securityd                      Exit timeout elapsed (20 seconds). Killing 

One of the last messages on the log is this one: 

19992024     1 com.apple.launchd                            1 com.apple.launchd                        System: Userspace shutdown took approximately 20 seconds. 

So I figure if it were not for com.apple.securityd, shutdown would be instantaneous, just as Snow Leopard was.
