from my own experiences with my celry 300a@450 w/ 98se, amd k6-2 400 w/ 2k, and my celery 600 laptop w/ ME i get better results running all the time and the screen saver de-activated as for the apple not getting as good time as the pc......its an apple!!!!!
you could try letting it run all the time to see if that speeds it up solong as you arent doin stuff takin up major cpu speed and mem then it shouldnt hurt to let them run the cmd client and seti-driver are the best unless you like watchin the GI at work ----- Original Message ----- From: "Howard L Ritter, Jr" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, December 25, 2001 12:06 AM Subject: S-L-O-W MacOS X performance! > > I've just joined the list, so I hope I'm not revisiting an old topic.
