I just bought an iMac several days ago, I wanna know what you are using now, iMac or PowerPC?

mooty · 2007-08-15, 08:58

FYI an iMac can be Intel or Power PC... You might want to rephrase the answers

rasmits · 2007-08-15, 08:58

What about people with PowerPC iMacs?

Do you mean 'Intel' or 'PowerPC'?

jondaapplegeek · 2007-08-15, 09:00

And, of course, a Mac Pro, MacBook, MacBookPro or even a Mac mini?

edit: grrr chucker!

BuonRotto · 2007-08-15, 09:02

PowerBook G4 (PowerPC) here. I used to have a G4 (powerPC) iMac, the desk lamp version.

thegeriatric · 2007-08-15, 09:03

Mac mini power PC G4. Does that clear it up for you?

World Leader Pretend · 2007-08-15, 09:04

iMac (PowerPC) G5, 1.8 GHz.

beardedmacuser · 2007-08-15, 09:10

Right now? In that case I'm using a ZOMG 3.2 GHz PENTEEEEEEUM 4!!!1!!

iMac G4. Been toying with the idea of purchasing a new iMac for the past couple of months - seeing and reading about the new iteration has somewhat dampened that idea for the time being, sadly.

Engine Joe · 2007-08-15, 09:23

Both - Intel (MBP) and PowerPC (Power Mac G5). Since I didn't have an option to cover both, I voted 'Intel' since I use the MBP far more often.

thegeriatric · 2007-08-15, 09:33

Pssssssssst.......................I also use a PC (Vista) don't tell anyone, they can be a funny lot around here sometimes, whew *Wipes sweat from brow* good job i didn't post that......did I? I didn't did I? OMFG I might have posted it.

I've got 3 Macs, but all of them are Intel.

InactionMan · 2007-08-15, 09:44

PPC 4 Life Bitches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Luca · 2007-08-15, 09:50

Added a "both" option.

Also, polls are rather useless. I can't remember the last time we had one that didn't need to be edited after people had already voted.

drewprops · 2007-08-15, 10:02

Yah, it takes a bit of thought and skill to craft a meaningful and revealing question (or poll). Anyway, I think I had the distinction of being first to vote the newly minted "both!"

bassplayinMacFiend · 2007-08-15, 10:09

Use both, actually the PPC iMac G5 gets much more use than my 1.83GHz MacBook. I did upgrade the RAM in my MacBook to 2GB last weekend so now I can try some tests on both to see which computer is faster.

Robo · 2007-08-15, 10:50

Luca, I demand a "Beer" option.

My iMac will use an Intel Core 2 Duo (Santa Rosa) - no ZOMG X-TREME!!1 for me, sadly. And my Eee will use a 900MHz Dotham something-or-other.

Majost · 2007-08-15, 11:01

Brad has Google Analytics on here... and they actually track the processor breakdown within Mac OS computers. It'd make for an interesting study of self-selected voters.

Let's see the real numbers!

PB PM · 2007-08-15, 11:16

I use both, simply because I have a PPC G4, Power Mac (my secondary machine for data storage) and Intel MBP as my primary on the go machine.

beardedmacuser · 2007-08-15, 11:27

Oh, now I'm home, right now I'm using my G4 PowerBook...

Kraetos · 2007-08-15, 12:00

All Intel, all the time baby. Got my 2.4 GHz MBP and my 2.4GHz Conroe in my beastly PC next to me.

I <3 my computers.

pscates2.0 · 2007-08-15, 12:12

Blazing along on this 1.25GHz PowerBook G4, and, barring any weirdness or bad luck, I will be for about one more year...

I don't have the exact numbers with me now (posting from my BB), but last I recall, the Intel numbers were *slightly* higher than the PPC numbers.

turtle · 2007-08-15, 12:23

I'm using both Intel and PPC. G4 Mac Mini and CD MacBook.

Never mind the two G3 Clamshells and Athlon 64 Linux Server and other P4 XP and Vista systems.

I have too many computers.
