We've already seen the damage that Core 2 can do on a PC. With Apple supposedly announcing new Conroe based Macs at their WWDC, we wre curious on how well they would perform inside a Mac Our curiosity got the better of us and we decided to ?setup a Mac? with the equipment available to us. Its really no secret that a ?home installable? version of the Intel OS X has been floating on the ?scene? for sometime now and we used one such version based on 10.4.6 version of the O/S. Hardware-wise, we used Intel?s 975X motherboard with a Core 2 Xtreme CPU running at 2.93GHz along with 2GB Corsair RAM running at DDR2-800MHz speed. We chose the ATI X1600XT graphics card which is what?s used on the current generation of Mac Book Pro and iMacs. If you google, you will find a way of getting this card working natively on the ?home installable? version of OS X.
