Life Question about gifs.

beach tribe · 09-12-2009, 12:48 PM

I have an HP desktop at work. Brand new.

It has 6 gigs of Ram. I run Autodesk Inventor on it. Along with Flash, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, and all the rest of the CS3 programs.
Basically, It's a pretty powerful machine.
At home I have a 2003 dual gig G4 mac, with 1 gig of ram.

How come gifs on my CPU at work run kind of choppy, and slow, and all gifs run in real time, very fast, and never pause, or stop on my Mac?

Just a question. Do Macs really just run that much smoother? And it's not just the gifs. It seems like any program that I run on the mac, or any video I watch seems to run better on the less powerful mac. Why?

Just curious what you guys think.
