Title: What kind of Mac do you have?
Post by VernJensen on 17.05.2008 at 02:44:44
Just curious. What is the processor speed, is it a laptop or desktop, how much memory, display resolution, and Intel or PPC.

Hehe.  And yourself?

I have an 20 inch iMac G5 2 GHz with 2 GB RAM.  1680x1050 res.

Hi, Vern!
Long time no see!

I have a G4 MDD, it's a PPC, 1,25 GHz, 1,75 Gb RAM, 20" Cinema monitor using 1280x800 resolution (my eyes don't like higher resolution). I am playing MM in a window instead of full screen

Hi, Vern.

Mine is a Power Mac G5 Dual 2 GHz (non-Intel), with 2.5 GB RAM and an old-school 19" Formac monitor, using normally a 1280 x 960 @ 75 Hz resolution, which gets switched when playing MM to 640 x 380 @ 95 Hz.

Hey Vern - I'm also on an iMac G5, but mine is only 17" which is enough... 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM, 1440x900 resolution.  

I play full-screen for the FULL effect - it's just me & Jack on an adventure!  ::)

Which is it suztours?  A G5 or an Intel?   8-)

humm - well, when I asked, I was told it was a G5, but it has the Intel DuoCore processor, so I guess I got all the specs confused...  sorry.  I'm not reading nor writing very well just now - cut my hand on some steel (ouch) and running with lots of tourists here to guide!

Title: Re: What kind of Mac do you have?
Post by brell on 20.05.2008 at 19:07:13
OK.  If it has the Intel processor then it cannot be G5 since the "G" line was the PowerPC processor line and is discontinued since the beginning of 2006 (or 2007, I forget).

Macbook Intel 2 Duo Core, 2.14 GHz, 1GB Ram, 64MB VRAM, 13" screen. Nothing to be bragging about, but it works.

I play MM on a G4, 1GHz, 1GB RAM, 19" monitor set to 1280x1024.

Like Rose, I'm on a G4 MDD Windtunnel, PPC, dual 1.25 GHz, 1.75g RAM, 23" Cinema Display full screen at 1344 x 1200 (or 19"CRT at 1024 x 768), OSX 10.3.9 (though MM plays fine on 9.2.2 also.) A few times MM has frozen and required a total reboot, but one of my drives has had accessing/directory issues so maybe that's the problem. Also have a Mac Mini 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 1g RAM running Leopard and MM seems to work fine, but since my saves are all on the G4 I usually play on that one.

With some delay ...

A 1,8 GHz PowerPC G5 with 1 GB DDR SDRAM and mac version 10.5.4.

That is far too slowly to reply on all posts and emails! ;) ;D

I now have more RAM. 1.5 GB to be precise. Yay!

Hey Guys,

What is Ram?  and Do I have enough of it?  see above post for details.

Title: Re: What kind of Mac do you have?
Post by brell on 27.09.2008 at 07:23:45
RAM is Random Access Memory.  You have 1 GB, 2 is better.

Thanks Brell,

but does that affect game playing?

If one does not save to many things.....is 2 necessary?

so far, I haven't noticed that I missing anything......I think.

Are you happy with your computer's speed?

If yes, don't buy more RAM

Missy - It kinda depends on how many applications you run at the same time, and whether they are memory hungry applications like an Adobe application or ProTools etc. But MM is a winky tiny application so I wouldn't worry about it.

The only thing I have noticed with MM since my upgrade is that choosing a saved mansion doesn't take as long. My rainbow wheel would whirr for about ten seconds before I upgraded. ::) But that was my fault for not upgrading my RAM straight away when I went from 10.4 to 10.5. Bad Mac user!!! :D

Thanks Lara,

Then no, I do not have a problem, my downloads are as quick as a blink of an eye in most cases.  

Since I am pretty green at using the computer, I guess I have enough of what ever it has.  

Thank you again.

With computers especially, the old saying is really good advice...

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
