I have a G4 733mhz PowerMac at home and its really starting to show its age. I have been wanting to get a G4 1.4GHz upgrade chip for a while now so today I was checking amazon and to my surprise they now have a 1.7Ghz upgrade chip! But the problem is I don’t know if I should pay $500 and upgrade my mac or pay more and just get a new one.
I don’t like the current PowerMac G5’s. I have a Dual 2GHz G5 here at work and I just think it lacks personality. Nat and my Brother both have 12inch PowerBooks and I don’t like those also. They seem very fragile and look very normal. My favorite Macs at the moment are the iMacs and the iBooks. I used to have an iBook before but it died. I think they are a really good steal. For $999 you get a gorgeous 12inch iBook with a CD-Writer, Wifi, Bluetooth, and a 1.2Ghz chip. I also like the 20inch iMac’s because they are so fucking huge yet so small at the same time.
So I guess if I had a lot of money I would turn my current mac into a server and I would get a 20inch iMac and a 12inch iBook.
If anyone is interested in checking out the 1.7Ghz upgrade for the mac here is the amazon link.

I don’t like the white of the iBook, if it get’s dirty or anything it’d show a lot, it also seems more fragile than the Powerbook, the iBook reminds me of the computer toys for kids.
no way dude. The ibook is made to last. keep in mind its made for students..
heyyyy nobody says bad stuff about my powerbook. And btw you can stop using it if you dont like hat much 😉
LOL cute semi-fight 😛 But I say don’t upgrade.. Get a new one 😛
