Hmm...I'd have to choose between Mac/Intel and Mac/PowerPC, because I surf with both.

See? This means the distinction is needed.

I suspect we're the only two Mac respondents (methinks people grew tired of polls similar to this.)

Just put together a new box on a Shuttle SG31G2 with a Core 2 Quad Q6600 (not overclocked yet) 4GB of DDR2-800 Mushkin goodness, and some other parts I had laying around.

Why you need all that shit just to run Linux? And why go with a 65nm processors when they have faster and cooler 45nm ones out?

Not all Linux boxen are for viewing porn. :) I've got 4GB on mine because I use memory intensive KVM instances. The processor choice would make sense to reduce compile times which matter if you're a developer, devoted hacker or masochist running a source based distro.

He probably builds on price/performance ratio.

Libman was setting you up. You see, he's a resident troll, which means that while I hate him passionately and wish him great harm, he's ONE OF OURS. You are a pathetic interloper who will fade away in a few weeks at most.

And I'm running some virtual machines. The Q6600 was cheaper.
