somewhere down the road some one is going to make some pice of hardware that alows you to use OSX on your beige box

--- Quote from: bedouin ---Who buys laptops for gaming?  No matter what laptop you buy it's going to be obsolete for gaming in a year.  You do realize the last PPC machine is likely to be sold in like 2007 right?  That means cutting support for PPC is going to be unthinkable for a long time.  

And wipe the idea that there's going to be OS X on vanilla PCs out of your head.  If having the same CPU were enough for decent emulation I'd be playing Gamecube games on my PowerMac right now.

well, You're talking to one user that buys a laptop and expects to play games on it :-D

Obviously that is not my primary reason I use my computer.

I do firmly beleive that OS X Games will run on x86 "PC's" much more easily once this transformation is complete.

At this point I'm expecting to keep this powerbook for awhile... but i have a feeling I'll be screwing myself later down the line when I lose an immense amount of value on this G4 machine when everyine is buying the x86/Powerbooks. Or, i could be wrong and this could be sought after once x86 makes its debute... who knows.

I intend on upgrading eventually, and that is the only thing that is making me worry. otherwise I am very happy with how this laptop is functioning.

edit: minor fixes

i don't get it.......i just got a imac g5 17inch(original 1.8ghz). im happy i have one of the last ppc machines.....i fucking hate x86...the only thing i loath more is intel's implementations of it. too bad intel has SI-laser's and is going to be able to fit quite a few more cores per cpu then amd for a while. now if only amd where to figure out how to build things out of nana-tubes. mutli-threading in applications is going to become quite the thing to do, kidnof like object oriented programing, pain in the ass to implement, better in the end
