What CPU Do You Have in Your MAC?

I chose G5 because that is my main desktop Mac but I also use a MacBook Pro a lot. If I could justify it, I'd get a Mac Pro in a heartbeat!

The rest of the Macs in the house are a 15" Aluminum G4 PowerBook, a G4 Mac min, a G3 iBook, a PowerBook 1400 & a mostly-non-working PowerBook 520c. Others are 2 G3 iMacs, a G4/400 & a G4 iMac (all donated to church & I manage them).

I voted for my primary computer (Intel), but my wife has a G4 iBook and I have a G4 mini I'm using as a media center as well.

Hard to vote for just one. Here are all the CPUs that are regularly involved in "home theater" in our house:

1.83 core duo (connected to living room HDTV)
dual 1.25GHz G4 (MDD FW800 as main HT workstation)
1GHz G4 (MDD FW800 as file server)
867MHz G4 (12" Powerbook as VNC controller)
450MHz G4 (cube in a bedroom for iTunes)

That's 4 to 1, PPC to Intel. Every Mac except the Powerbook is connected through a gigabit switch.

Of course the Intel does the heavy lifting in terms of HD playback.

For me, it isn't so much that "yesterday's platform" is more popular--it's just a recognition that 1) Apple hasn't offered anything as affordable and expandable as those MDD FW800 PowerMacs since and 2) as long as I have an Intel Mac as an extender there's little reason for me to upgrade anything else to "today's platform."

iTunes, ripping/burning dvds, recording high def, managing and serving up content over gigabit--all just fine on PPC.

I voted for Intel as since I got my MBP C2, I hardly do anything with my dual 1GHz G4 (actually off so long the old Apple 20" CRT takes about 40-min to warm up from very blue to correct color). My Intel mini does the iTunes and ripped movie server honors, and my wife's 17" iMac G4 is just doing iTunes on our living room receiver (I was using Airtunes w/Airport Express, but don't like not seeing what's playing, and the G4 iMac was just loafing).

Please don't use "MAC". It's a Mac. It's like saying most people use "WINDOWS".

I have a dual 533 G4 PM and a 1ghz G4 PB.

>G4 1.42 mini

>Core2 Duo 2ghz iMac

I do have my old 6500 that started my Mac addiction in storage... does that count?

Only if my original 128k Mac counts. Go 68k!
