[QUOTE="Thud, post: 91558"] Cool, I'll be interested to what performance tests you run. I have a pretty similar Athlon64 system as well (oc'd to 2.25GHz). Also, the root account is disabled by default, but you have administrator rights. The only thing you can't do is directly modify system files. I wouldn't recommend enabling the root account until you need it for some reason. Try Shiira for web browsing... Firefox is very slow, even the optimized builds. Firefox just sucks on the mac-- it's lightning quick on my A64 though. Shiira uses the same rendering/parsing engine as Safari (so it's 100% compatible with Safari) and it has some features that Safari lacks, plus it's very quick. [/QUOTE]
