The reason that Macs appear more secure than PCs are simply that virusproducers can't be bothered to write virii to attack Macs since to few people use them. thats absolutely not true..... before the release of panther, 12 high end prgrammers spent 8 weeks in stockholm attacking darwin until they co...

This optimisation business is silly. You don't need to do it, but if you think it's entertaining go ahead... I use Live on an iBook G3 900 with 384 MB of RAM, and it's good. Only thing that kills it is softsynths and the Live reverb - as you'd expect... -Paws erm.....your completely wrong on that o...

what soundcard are u using? also, osx 10.3.6 and 10.3.7 and much much better for audio..... why is that (with OSX 10.3.6+ being better)? is there anything wrong with using the built in powerbook soundcard? 3.6 and 3.7 addressed some minor issues with coreaudio and also sped up the whole system by q...

all the newer units are using way too much cpu than they should be and its something that is going to get better for sure.....
m-audio drivers use up to 30% cpu at times which is totally unaccptable.
