  1. x86 ? by noselasd · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Now, why doesn't Apple make OSX for x86 machines ?
    I know I'd buy MacOSX the minute an x86 version were released. And
    I'm sure many others would.
    But buying a new computer, and PPC based ? Won't happen..

    How's the processor working out for you? I'd want to run XP Pro if I were going to buy a Windows notebook, and I'm skeptical of the Crusoe processors at lower MHz. They've always seemed rather slow to me. I was interested in buying one of these but wary of the processor. How do you like it?
