Hey YouTube – sorry it’s been so long since I’ve made a video. I still aim to upload atleast 1 video a week, but as I say in the video itself, I am extremely busy at the moment. It’s not that YouTube takes a back seat, it’s just that I don’t have time to do everything all at once. Sorry for any incoveneance and I will get back on track soon! 
This video is an extremely simple race between my faithful White 2007 MacBook and the good old PowerMac G4 MDD 2002.
MacBook Specs:
2.16GhZ Intel Core 2 Duo
1GB DDR2 RAM
120GB HD
Mac OS X 10.6.1 Snow Leoard
PowerMac G4 MDD Specs:
Dual 1.0GhZ PowerPC G4
2GB DDR RAM
1 x 40GB HD (OS And App Drive)
1 x 80GB HD (Files and Backup)
Mac OS X 10.5.8
Both of these Mac’s are running the most up to date OS that they can handle.
This isn’t a 100% fair test, because I have different applications set to open at login on both machines. Also, both machines are plugged into many different peripherals.
Thanks for watching and I hope you all enjoy!
