Hey everyone,
Now that I have my Dual 1 gig system up and running, I wanted to share my first experiences with the system. I am using Mac OS X (but not Jaguar). The systems boots up so quickly, much quicker than when I used OS 9.2. (and much quicker than my PC, celeron 400 using Windows 98). Shut down is also so quick compared to my pc. I pretty much just blink and the Mac shuts down! So far the OS has been very stable. Did find it a bit slow when copying a music cd onto the hard drive, it actually took about 3-4 minutes, thought it should be faster than that.
I've started using iMovie and transferred 3 hours of video onto the Mac, it was amazingly easy. Still getting the hang of the software, but rendering times are pretty quick.
Tried playing some dvds as well and they looked great.
Well that's all I've used it for so far.
When I do upgrade to Jaguar, will I have to do anything to keep my current iMovie files? Do I need to back them up and then put them back on the hard drive after installing Jag?
