I'd rate mine an 8/10. With this SATA drive it runs smooth as buttah even under pressure. However, everything needs something thrown at it to work well, I needed a separate card for my mobo (*shakes fist at onboard video*) and the SB700 is a pain to get an install disc to load on, but once you're past that, the rest is a (slow until the SB700 kexts are installed) piece of cake. XBench gives it 119. Blame iTunes and iChat running.

I'd give mine a 9 even though it's coming up on 4 years old. It's a HP Pavillion a1600n, AMD Athlon64 X2 3800+, 2GB DDR2 533 RAM, 250GB SATA Drive, ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro PCIe. It does everything I ask fairly well in OS X. Currently running XxX_10.5.6 updated to 10.5.7. If I pick the right options during install than everything just works out the box on this system.

I'd give mine a 7/10 even though it isn't much. Sure I have problems with the graphics card at times but the system has kind of grown on me for an older Pentium 4 rig. I like it, but I will be getting something this August before school starts. I have loads of old crap lying around but it's fun to mess around with it. And I have an iBook which satisfies my needs for OS X (and will continue to).

right now i would rate mine 9,5/10. everthing is running smooth, any problems a well hidden (eg. havnīt checked sleep / power magagement ..)
but it took some time and lotīs of try and error to get it running as desired. esp.my passive ati 3870 did not work as easy as expected. so the score would be ovall 7/10. next machine might be intel (or a real macbook...) but right now im fine with my amd.

I'm upgrading mine to about a 3. No Netwerk or sound yet, but it looks like the video problems are lessor than they were.
I did an install of another OSX that was recommened to me with all the drivers I need. I did it over the old one. I kept my settings, but not everything got fixed, and I havn't had a chance to toy with them yet, as my wife needs Vista for a while today....
