Go BARRY Go bout time. The current ibook models are g4's for 1500 bucks... The issue you will have is ram.....  CF7 looooves ram.  But fill your ibook up and you wont have a problem. i have been running coldfusion for a couple years now with a mac and had absolutely no issue with performance on my various models of laptops. however i do find a little bit of a performance increase on a dual g5 xserve than my powerbook :P Rob.

Up to 5 hours is pretty good. None of the people with Intel laptops I know get anywhere near that (eg: a Dell Inspiron 5160 is usually 1-2 hours) why not a powerbook? price! anyone done this? does it work at a pinch or is CF7 too hungry for resources? thanx from "cheaper than homebrand" barry.b --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Aussie Macromedia Developers: http://lists.daemon.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------- n:  Rob Shaw j:   Learning Architect a:  MLC School      Rowley Street Burwood      NSW 2134 Sydney Australia t:   61 2 8741 3119 f:   61 2 9745 3254 m: 04 22 222 515 e:  [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: archive@mail-archive.com To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Aussie Macromedia Developers: http://lists.daemon.com.au/
