First Intel post

Hey guys, today I'm gonna make a post about Intel macs.

I use very often an iMac with core i5 and a 27 inch screen, I do all my gaming and movie watching on that machine. As well, I am a national chess champion, I play my chess on the iMac. I'll give some tips about Intel Machines.

Intel is a processor, Intel was first used by Windows computers, but Apple changed to Intel in 2006. Apple used Intel Macs ever since.

I will give you some tips today.

1. Don't think that you have such a superior mac compared to windows computers. You probably do have a better computer then the average windows computer. But you don't have the best computer on earth either. Don't overload your Hard Drive, keep your computer clean, don't multitask like crazy and don't go on dangerous sites.

2. Always shut down your mac time to time, this applies to all Macs including PowerPC macs. This will free up a lot of RAM, and keep your computer fast. Sleeping the computer does not make that much of a difference because the processor is running.

3. do not get antivirus programs, the chance of your mac getting a virus is very very minimal. The antivirus will just slow down your computer more then it does good to it.

4. Get more RAM!!! This is the most important part of speeding up your mac. This actually applies to all computers, PCs and Macs. My eMachines desktop would be so much faster with an extra 512mbs of RAM. Mac OS X is very RAM hungry, the more, the better.

5.  Always prevent your mac from getting too hot.  It will damage your mac by overheating its components. Overclocking your mac won't do any good either, this will destroy your mac, so please! Do not overclock.

Thank you for reading, please comment for any questions.

I will not post much about Intel Machines, I'm a big PowerPC and know a lot more about it.  The next post will be how too optimize you low end PowerPC mac. This will be for users who have a sloppy PowerPC and are struggling to make their mac faster.
