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

What about people with PowerPC iMacs?

Do you mean 'Intel' or 'PowerPC'?

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.

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.

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.

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!"

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.

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.

and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong

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.

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.

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.

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.
