This is not the case. Much of 10.2 is AltiVec optimized (the actual OS) in addition to many GUI effects. Adding in the Radeon, faster system bus and faster RAM, it's clear that the beige will knock the pants off the 9500. Anything over 512MB RAM won't make that big of a difference in terms of performance and you won't need to use XPostFacto with the beige. -Korin -- What's the difference between ignorance, apathy and ambivalence?
