[QUOTE="ToddG, post: 338191, member: 23228"] All computers have resource limits. If you run enough programs at once, you will get lag. I've never had any complaints about my MBP. I have the 2.33 C2D version with 2G (15") and it runs great. But I'm sure I could get it to choke if I tried. You won't magically get faster processor speeds, etc., with a Mac compared to a PC. Whether a particular application will take up too much resources is dependent on the app, not the OS. Mac's OS X will deal with the resource juggling better and you'll run a much lower chance of having a system-wide crash if you do "def overload" -- whatever that means. :ninja: Johnnyfive's advice was spot on. Get one from a place that has a decent return policy, run the machine for a few days, and see if you like it. [/QUOTE]
