[QUOTE="19birel, post: 1320192, member: 221361"] Hello everyone! My name is Ayrton, I'm a freshman and have been into Macs since my mum got her Power Book G3 way back when. I currently have a Power Mac G4 and a quad core Power Mac G5 along with a few windows boxes(one converted to run Ubuntu). I will soon be trading my G5 for a white Macbook 13inch. Is this a good idea? I figured because of the intel core duo processor it would be an upgrade from the G5. My G5 still runs at a decent speed so can i expect the same if not a bit more performance from the intel Mac? I heard i can only upgrade to snow leopard, is this true or can i switch it to Lion? Also, could I upgrade to be able to run lion? I was planning on upgrading the RAM and hard drive is there anything else I can do? maybe swap out parts from a newer macbook or macbook pro? Thanks for all your help. I know a little about my Power Macs but when it comes to the intel stuff I'm not extremely familiar. [/QUOTE]
