i am intel people (never use any computer other than intel processor)

i want to try Powerbook use with PowerPC, but dunno PowerPC is too slow.

so if you're using PowerPC G3 or G4, can tell me is it good enough for basic usage?

and is it true the new Mac OS 11 not support PowerPC anymore?  icon_rolleyes.gif

There's no Max OS 11 (yet). Unless you are from the future.
G3 are not supported by latest Mac OS 10.5. G4 with more than 800Mhz should work fine.

Depends what you want to do. Watch DVD, surf net, word processing do not need a Core2Duo.

Tell me which modern processor don't get warm? Ofcourse, if you run game on it for hours, that's a dump question to ask if it get hot.

And the saving of space & cost went into more RAM slots, drive bays & clean internal design. Which is nice.
