[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 1415991, member: 8287"] Well said Nick! :D A friend in Arizona just bought a used C2d white 17" iMac and loves it. Bought Snow Leopard and upped the ram and the thing Flys. He was also shocked to find that with SL installed, it's showing and connecting to his 5G network off his new Dual Band router when his almost brand new Windows machine (Gateway) will not even see the 5G network!! Apple always seems to be ahead of the pack with new technology! A friend here in town just bought a TOP of the Line brand new Lenovo Gaming laptop. I went over to mess with it. He asked me, how come the 5G side of my router is not showing up? Guess what, my late 2007 Macbook shows and connects perfectly to the 5G part of his router. HE WAS QUITE upset! He is a very big Apple hater also but this has him thinking a bit! Nothing else in his house will see the 5G network. He had to go out and purchase a USB Dual Band dongle! At the price he paid for that notebook he should have not had to purchase anything! :D So my point is, some old Apple stuff was ahead of it's time and still useable today. [/QUOTE]
