  • Well, McNewbie - fear not - your computer DOES have the capacity to run at the max speed stated.
  • No, it's not bad. And your computer doesn't actually run at 1.0 GHz ? there's always a few processes going on - the idle speed is probably 1.33 or 1.5 GHz. If you want to see it push itself, do as Chucker said, open up two Terminal Windows, and …
  • Checking this out on my MacBook? The maximum percentage IS 200% with two cores. Your normal work must not push the processor that hard, so that's why you're not seeing 170% usage of the chip.
  • I have a week 25 MacBook and mine has no discoloring at all.
  • The CBM tells you that or the bar at the top of the screen tells you that? Mac OS X will keep it at just below 100 % after charging it to full ? I forget why but I remember it was a good reason.

  • I'll hopefully be picking up a MacBook myself soon, to replace my 2-year old iBook. All the MacBooks and MacBook Pros I've used have been great ?_much faster, smoother, and basically all-around better than my iBook. Don't worry about it too much. If…
  • I'd purchase the MacBook, because I might decide I want to do other things with it in the future. Also, it's more 'future-proof' then the iBook.
  • Hmm? nothing really new.
  • I doubt it. The PSP is a nice device, yes ?_but it can't hold nearly as many songs as an iPod (except perhaps the Shuffle) without paying a lot more. It's a tradeoff.
