Ahh. The point was not whether what you do with a computer could be done
faster on a more powerful computer with a modern OS. As I stated several
times, I have no idea what you do with a computer beyond running some
weather app and a "jukebox." I mentioned video transcoding because it is
a good test of the OS, the app, and the hardware. There are any number
of other apps that run faster on modern gear.
Apparently what you do doesn't put much stress on your computer setups,
and since you have lots of time to wait, procedures that run faster are
not important to you.
I don't do "video transcoding" and never will.
OTOH I'm a gamer.
Macintosh just doesn't cut it.
Windows does.
There's no question that Windows is *the* PC gaming platform of choice.
Have you tried any of the action games via Steam? It seems like an
interesting concept.
I think I have two or three games on my iMac, a pinball game,
Borderlands2 (a fairly recent vintage shoot'em'up) and one other whose
name I cannot recall.
I used to like MS Golf, Doom, and a couple of others when I had a PC.
