[QUOTE="Joe Feldman, post: 116824"] I noticed that when I clicked (just click, not double click) on a 24 GB Avi file that my Mac G5 takes FOREVER to load it in the finder. When I double click to play it back it stutters and the audio breaks up. I also have a 1 GHZ Pentium III in which explorer immediately plays the file and plays it back flawlessly. What gives? The Pentium III was purchased around 6 years ago and has the same amount of RAM that the Dual 2.7 Ghz CPU G5 has!!! I've had finder crash on me several times too. This is depressing, I finally listened to all of you Mac heads and spent 3 times more than I would on a PC only to experience this!! :( Please tell me there is a way out of this. Can I return it within a certain timeframe for any refund?? -Joe [/QUOTE]
