Greetings,
This post is not to start a mac vs. windows war! I definitely enjoy using my mac but since the beginning i have noticed that surfing the web on a ibm thinkpad 1.3 celeron 256mb ram is faster than my ibook 1.2ghz with 768mb ram. I use both operating systems so I'm not bashing either or cuz both of them have strengths and weaknesses. is the speed issue based on the operating system or processor in this instance? even using Microsoft Office 2004 i find it a bit sluggish compared to the Windows version.
