I know it doesn't tell you how old it is, but I got it this past February.Yes, you could. However, best that you visit some of the Mac forums to check up on the "ins and outs" of doing that with your model first.Quote from: IHateHackers on September 01, 2011, 11:26:50 PMWhat he said. Except for ancient iMacs, the hardware inside is exactly the same as a PC ...Not true, but you can go ahead with that belief if you wish. I won't stop you. I'll just wait for you to learn better.

I thought that was the whole point of Apple switching to Intel processors was to make it work like a real computer?
Motorola CPUs >> Intel CPUs.
In my experience, it's not exactly fair to be making opinions about computers from what you've seen of them in use in things such as schools, because school computers get put through a whole lot of crap from their multiple users that a home computer wouldn't, and thus suffer a heck of a lot more strain. How much depends on the computer, but more on the system, how it's used, and how it's maintained. The age of the computer can also play a factor in this, and that goes two ways, better or worse.
Mac = proprietary = greater cost + less choice.Some people love that though. The quality is good but at a ridiculous price for what you get.The latest versions of OS X are supposedly a bit sluggish because of the glitz and how many features are tacked on.Windows would be fine if we could only get rid of the registry like they promised us and make every damn application portable.A lot of problems I have when using Windows have nothing to do with Windows; bad drivers and bad support for hardware by companies, BS anti-piracy complications...Other things are Window's fault though like "Why can't I use my own midi controller in Win7???".
Like how Windows inevitably slows itself down over time without installing anything new?
