Need to gather some info for SOE about the type of processor you are using to run EQMac.

Please choose all that apply and if you are running multiple computers with the same processor, make a post such as this:

3 G5 processor systems

Please spread the word within your guilds to come visit here and post up ASAP!

Also, please keep other comments and questions out of this thread to make it easier to gather the data. Questions and comments can be taken to another thread in this forum.
Thanks in advance!

You haven't asked, but it may be interesting to know how many with G4/G5 systems would use Intel if the performance were equal or better (universal binary).

Too true, I have intel machines in another office that aren't used as they don't run the game better than a G5 tower. Even if a universal binary is available, the machine I use will be about what raids better.

I forgot to select the G4 option on the poll but I use both a Intel i5 and a ibook G4 on occasion.
