I just got a new TiBook 1ghz G4 for christmas. I go to look at the same flash web sites i have on my PC and they are running extremely slow. I downloaded the newest flash player 6 update for OS X and that didn’t help either. It still ran at the same pace. Can anyone tell me what is wrong here or should i go to a MAC forum.
I only knew one mac that sucked donkey balls. But if you said anything bad about him, he’d kick your teeth in; he was a big guy.
But yes, Macintosh computers from Apple, are notoriously slow when it comes to Flash playback. This especially in OSes prior to OSX. They had poor memory management and werent multitasking which meant to get any kind of decent playback you would have to close every running application on your computer. OSX is faster (and using a BSD based multitasking OS) but in terms of speed in comparison to PCs today, it still doesnt quite make the cut.
This is especially difficult when developing Flash apps/games for GD firms who are all Mac based, who, when they see the work you’ve done, insist that its slow and needs to be faster yet at the same time complain about the loss of quality or quantity of the elements on the screen. Clients…pfffft.
Okay… Time to clear up the differences between MAC and PC
There are two different people out there when it comes to computers…
Business and Casual
Which one should be used when?
Well… MAC’s are absolutly fantastic computers when it comes to Video Editting, Movie Making, Sounds, Music, and Art Programs… But… THye suck at playing games…
PC’s… Are the king of gaming computers… They have greta memory management that allows them to play games at a faster fps rate… PC"s are also great for support… And they are starting to get really good at some of the things MAC"s were really great at… Video Editting and the such…
The whole thing that screws up the MAC line is the fact that PC’s have a better gaming onlook and a better support line.
well then… one sentance fragment started a battle. here is what will end the conversation about mac computers:
I dont like Macs. They are good for graphics, but they are slow when it comes to flash and videogames. They also have 1 button on their mouse. That, to me, is not cool. I do not like that feature.
There, my previous statement resaid in “nice” manners so reverend cant keep ripping on me.
now, no more wasting of ur time to write about if macs are good or not. private message it.
now this forum thread is useless. the problem has been solved, and theres really nothing that can help Mr. Suicide. if you wish to rip on me, and my personality, private message me to do so
