Re: [microsound] Intel Mac laptops

[Bill Jarboe <billjarboe@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

hello Adam,

 i haven't tried one myself.  from what i have been reading  the major 
drawback seems to be that although the software applications written 
for the intel processor run extremely well , the majority of osx 
programs aren't quite so fast on the new platform .  i don't think it's 
possible to run os 9 on the intel machines. if you plan on using music 
software applications you might be better off with an older macintosh 
for the time being. that might provide you with the most options.
