Hi I am also a Flex developer under Mac. Mine is a iMac 2.0 Duo 2 Core with 2.0 GB of ram. It is very much the same speed in Bootcamp WinXP and under Mac OS X.
I would say OS X is a ram-dependent OS. Once you upgrade your Mac to 2 GB you are in a different world I promise. I have a 1.25 GB 1.33 GHz Powerbook 12" serves me right now and I would say it is enough, but not as fast as under 2GB ram. Upgrade it. You know I am serious. --- In [email protected], "Adam Pasztory" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I've been thinking about switching a lot of my development work over to the > Mac, but the performance of FlexBuilder has been disappointing.
