dont laugh at my stupidity, ive only used macs 2 months

Look up the way to post images on the board. You can't use HTML.

Sorry these guys are giving you a hard time, and welcome to the Mac

Oh, you won't notice much of a difference. Don't worry about it. If you are worried about speed just upgrade the graphics card.

Worst. thread. ever.

Why isn't this in the lounge?

I'm on a 1GHz PowerBook G4 right now. You probably shouldn't feel too bad you don't have the 2GHz model now. When the next speed bump hits around the worldwide developer conference, you might feel burned a little.

Feel bad about 1.8? Hell. no.

They are great machines.

msuper69 · May 18, 2004, 06:48 AM

Crap. I would kill to have even a 1.6 G5.

I'm still stuck at 500mhz (TiBook and Cube).

Anybody have a job for an unemployed computer programmer in Columbus, OH?

lol, Yes. lol, You poor bastard. lol, There is a world of difference between the 1.8 and the 2.0. lol, Better sell it and get an Athlon64. lol, Quick.

EDIT: yes, I'm in a bitch of a mood tonight. Don't take me seriously. I'll apologise tomorrow.

200Mhz that high up is a joke to be worried about, and the 20 inches from what I understand are nicer.

lol no lol you lol won't lol notice lol a lol big lol difference lol

lololololololol

milhous · May 19, 2004, 08:11 PM

It's all psychological of course. Had you had been given a G5 and having no way to look inside the case to see how many processors there were, probing to see the cpu speed, or pulling down "About this Mac", you'd probably think it's a 2.0 ghz.

addendum: It's time to resume the road to 1000 posts.

Unless you're a professional Final Cut Pro/HD user, I seriously doubt the difference between a dual 1.8 and a dual 2.0 will be noticed.

Had the dual 1.8 been available when I bought my machine, I would have gotten it instead of the dual 2.0 - saved a few bucks for 95% of the performance.

As for 20" vs 23", it all depends... the 20" Cinemas I understand are brighter. Plus, there's a pretty big price differential. Personally, I'd say a dual 1.8GHz G5 and a 20" Cinema Display is pretty much a dream system for most people here.
