Transforming Leopard into Snow Leopard

[z970]

Personally, I think the title should be changed to PowerPC Vs Intel Mac issues... that way it doesn’t have to be erased and can be viewed by everyone forever and ever! 🙂

I'd love for it to be erased.

I blame keaton for making it into a completely different topic.

Keaton may have made a comment about the original topic and the difficulty. Then he suggested moving to a different OS.

But when I mentioned my MBP no one made you go off and state your opinion about the faults of Intel Macs as if it were unchallenged fact.

And it's that aspect that got the thread derailed.

You blame Keaton? I blame you for not accepting anything except for what comes out of your arśe as fact.

 

[z970]

Seriously, can only moderators delete threads?

Nick, let it go. He's already conceded a fault.

Tis a shame...

I get that he admitted it, but he wrongly accused Keaton of derailing his already derailed thread...

And I pointed out to him that it was in fact him that derailed it. See my post above.

This has been an entertaining and occasionally interesting thread. Bit ironic that somebody who boasts the superiority of PPC over Intel also wants their PPC OS to run as smoothly as… an Intel-only OS.

EDIT: I've put in a request to have this thread moderated although it might be redundant.

Haha yes you get it too. Though there really isn’t a superiority to PPC compared to Intel straight specs. Maybe for fun or for nostalgia or “that link to Apple’s golden era”.. I digress.

I can also personally relate to a 2006 20" iMac going funny with the GPU, a second 2006 iMac 24" going funny with the GPU, a 2007 MacBook Pro also overheating and going funny, and just for the hell of it, a 2011 iMac with a flickering display, cursor lag, with fan issues, a 2010 Mac Mini with some kind of set of issues I forgot about, and a 2012 Mac Pro with other sets of issues. I don't know, it doesn't live in the same building as I do. Oh yeah, and my 2012 MacBook Pro with graphical and electrical issues.

That's some pretty bad luck, wow. Of course, the PowerPC Macs weren't without defects and issues either. iMac G5 capacitor failure, for example. The sad truth about any technology is, it isn't guaranteed to be defect-free and last forever.

The PowerPC Macs have plenty of issues as well, most notably mentioned in a post somewhere above. The iMac G5 is notorious for spouting graphical errors, just as you said. But what am I supposed to do, be politically correct and state some PPC Mac's error each time I make a point about the early Intel ones?

I never said they were *perfect*, I was just saying they generally behaved better than, say, a Core Duo Mac from 2006, maybe 2007. I still stand by that. Many people stand by that. And I only brought up the later variants because like you've just seen, I've had terrible luck with next to all of them, and so have a lot of other people, too.

You know, I don't think anything created by humans are guaranteed to be defect-free, or especially last forever.

We're too damn flaw-riddled ourselves.

and a 2012 Mac Pro with other sets of issues

im genuinely curious whats happening with that Mac Pro? cMPs are about as solid as a Mac you can get (just look at all the 10 year old Mac Pro 1,1s that are still chugging along 🙂 ) and I rarely see dead cMPs, and trust me I work with an AASP so i get the low down on figures LOL (90% of the time there is an issues its the Hard drive RAM or GPU that goes bad rather then the machine it self)

 

[AmazingHenry]

Added a bit. Also, last I checked, you didn't live in the adult world. Not to discount your opinion on things, but when you have a job, its difficult to get things done on PowerPC.

Out of pure curiosity, when's the last time you checked?

This satisfies me, not that I’d ever do this in real life, but after all this is just a fan-made animation

Of course, neither would I,just a fan-made animation gif for fun.

The Mac Pros are very reliable because of the tasks they were built for. 24/7 duty as a server or heavy rendering work. I too have had no issues with them, and to @z970mp, they are, in fact, typically much more reliable than their G5 predecessors. By comparison, I have experienced problems with two Power Mac G5s (one stopped booting entirely).

The 2007 MacBook Pro laptops are a different story, mainly because of the soldered GPUs running very hot and defective ones failing.

You can ask the mods to clean the thread up.

@maflynn usually helps us out.

4 pages of discussions means that this thread does not meet the conditions to allow deletion, but I'll lock it.
