Apple to 'Switch' to Windows?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the we-all-scoffed-at-an-intel-move-too dept.

JFlex writes "PC Mags writer John C. Dvorak discusses the idea that Apple may dump OS X and 'switch' to running Windows in a recent column: "The idea that Apple would ditch its own OS for Microsoft Windows came to me from Yakov Epstein, a professor of psychology at Rutgers University, who wrote to me convinced that the process had already begun. I was amused, but after mulling over various coincidences, I'm convinced he may be right. This would be the most phenomenal turnabout in the history of desktop computing.""

    What?? You replaced an amd64 box with a mac mini? You are crazy.

    You could have spent the money on a reasonable case that doesn't make that much noise. It would have been a lot cheaper. The amd chips do not need that much cooling. I have an amd 64 X2 and no problems with the noise at all. Got a "Silentium T2" case and a nice zalman copper cpu cooler and the machine is quite as if it wasn't running. That wouldn't have cost you 120$ in total.

    Since you still have the machine... have you tried fancontrol? Often times the wind tunnel effect comes from the fact that the fan speed is not throtled down as would be appropriate.
