[QUOTE="trpnmonkey41, post: 33954, member: 279"] When the G4 first came out the 867 in tests was shown beating a 1.7ghz P4. I have a 867 powerbook and a 2.2ghz P4 and for most tasks that I do (Video Editing, DVD Creation, Photo editing) my powerbook is faster than my desktop P4. I am pretty sure you do not need to buy anything extra to use c++. I am pretty sure it can all be done in Terminal or X11 which come with the macs. If it doesnt you would have to get VirtualPC (if there is nothing available). VPC loads like a program and it emulates a Windows OS so you can install Windows programs in it. These programs can be sluggish if you don't have enough memory and 3d rendering is not supported. Powerbooks have 2 USB 2.0 ports, 1 FW400 and 1 FW800 Port You can not just change the format of the HD. When you reformat it loses all the data on it. You would have to transfer the files off of the HD to something else before reformatting. I haven't changed my HDs in a while but I am pretty sure OS X can read FAT32 disks but I am not positive [/QUOTE]
