PC vs. Mac

#241

Indeed, a good example of copying off each other!

Intel’s Core Duo would be the last major consumer line from Intel. 64 bit has been around a while but the transition doesn’t matter to a lot of people as it hasn’t impacted their daily usage and of course until a few years ago 64 bit operating systems were far from the norm for home users.

32 bit Atoms were around up through a couple years ago at least, IIRC.

edit: actually they weren’t really the norm, but they were finally pretty mature and more have transitioned to them over time although I still see lots of 64 bit capable systems (basically everything now) shipping with 32 bit OS’s.

I have a 3.0 Ghz Prescott w/ hyper Threading and it supports 64

#243

I have a PC with a 64-bit Athlon, and it’s about five years old.

#244

I have 2 atom netbooks one from 2008 one from 2010 both can’t do 64bit.

#245

I have a 2.8Ghz Northwood P4 w/ hyperthreading that does not support 64 bit… iirc the Prescott eventually got 64 bit support because Intel was trying to compete with AMD’s then superior (IMO) CPUs which were 64 bit already.

The P4 system is now hooked up to the TV in the living room though, it’s not really fast enough for me to do any of my work on it efficiently.

^ Yeah, I emember the times. And 925xe chipset, which got obsolete two months after release

:lol: I wondered what your gigantic “hardware SUCKS” was supposed to be pointing at.

#248

#249

HARDWARE SUCKS in general.
Come think of it, shitty piece of plastic, CPD, and silicon. Meh.

#251

you’ve said in 3 months a couple of weeks ago :stuck_out_tongue:

#252

Sorry I was moving faster than light for the past year and a half.

#253

well played sir

#254

So yeah, let’s get back on topic.

Long live MS-DOS!

#255

My Mac hasn’t been turned on in probably a month or two :lol:

It is a G4 though so there’s not much I would want to do with it anyway. Pokey POS.

Too bad no one knows how to code for it.

lol

#258

I’m not a coder so I don’t give a bull’s dick.

You can (unoffically) run XBMC on it thou! :smiley:

#260

You can run XBMC on everything that has a HDD, RAM, CPU and GPU.
