[QUOTE="xstep, post: 374454, member: 11647"] Dreamweaver, until a few days ago, was a PowerPC application. You'd want to get the newly released Universal edition to see speed gains. I'm not sure about your 'thinking' comments. It could just as easily refer to a network problem based on how I'm reading it. Considering the Dell store says that model starts at US$1299, you must be using a coupon to get that $996 price. Also watch out. That model comes standard with the same graphics processor (GPU) as the MacBook. Also, Vista is known to be real slow on many systems. I can't imagine it performing well with that GPU. Perhaps you're referring to the upgrade GPU that you'll need to get the Vista Aero experience. I went through the configuration of that model to get it close to the $1299 MacBook and received a price of $1737 before any discounts. That included upgrading Vista since I don't consider the Home edition comparable to OS X client. [/QUOTE]
