Well,
The first computer I can remeber using was a Mac. I took it forgranted, and when I was about 12-13 I asked for a PC. We got a HP pavilion of some sort which ran Windows ME. I didnt notice how bad it wa because I was so happy that I had a PC finally. I thought I would play all the games I couldn't before but I found myself still playing StarCraft (Which I still do today.) Now I have used Windows XP/Vista, and i've been on the linux scene, and im ready for a system that just works. I dont want to tinker, and I dont want to do alot to change it. I just was somthing that works good and that I can play StarCraft on, which a Mac can do.
Anyways,
I am thinking about buying a PowerMac, but I have a few questions.
When they say Dual Proccessors (E.G. Dual 1.2 Ghz Proccessor), does that really mean the computer has the proccessing power equal to a 2.4 Ghz machine? Do all programs utilize both proccessors, or just some. (E.G. Does the OS handle the dual proccesssors or do the programs.) Can I use my regular CRT monitor I have now, or do I have to buy a mac monitor?
Thanks for your time,
