Review Biased

Like everyone have already stated before me. This review is biased and will be discredited until there is a new review with the B3 TLB "fix" disabled so that the system runs full speed since the B3 already fixed the TLB issue in the first place. Thus, there is no reason to leave the software workaround to test it against a processor that has their TLB enabled (Intel).

Until RegHardware redo this review, this review is just a waste of bandwidth.

Thumb Up

MacOS X 10.4 - 10.5

My Macbook came with Mac OS X 10.4.10 pre-installed. I was happy with it, then 10.4.11 came along. Then I came crashing into a brick wall when I needed Java 6 JDK for my Mac. Apple released it for Leopard (x64). Luckily, my system has a Core 2 Duo, that means it can execute 64-bit software. Plus, I always hated Tiger's metal brush so I decided to go Leopard, since it has a better kernel and a friendlier shell. I'm still having a little issue with the Shared computers popping up on the left pane, but it's easily remedied using the cmd+k to "connect to server", I just type my smb:// filepath into it and it works like a charm.

I have yet hit into a MacOS X issue regarding to updates at all or even the upgrade! Unless I deliberately cripple it (as I would do as part of my system experimentations).

Overall, I enjoy Leopard more than Tiger.

Any numbers?

All I saw were people saying that XP was better, where are these RIA numbers?

Also, shouldn't they be comparing it with Windows Vista if they are trying to compare the two latest operating systems?

This test is flawed.
