1. Pass. Theoretically, 4 times faster but I doubt that the increase in speed is expontential. (Read the reviews. The 8 Core has only been around for a few days)
2. I believe the OS is already 64bit
3. How long is a piece of string? How much data is on the DVD, are there plenty of menus and chapters, is it Single or Dual layer? A lot of people I know just set it running and then go to bed.
4. Spring Clean(er)is an equivalent program but it is dangerous and, IMO, should be avoided. The Mac OS does not really get as bogged down as Windows seems to do.
There is no Registry to clean up in the Mac OS
5. DVI will give "noticeably" better performance
6. Visibility is dependent on the atmosphere in the room. Picture quality is another matter. I doubt you will get HD from the machine. The connectors, purchased separately, are S-Video and Composite video.
7. Completely silent. With no HD running and no Fans
8. Add the external HD to the Firewire port. Or, use a Firewire Hub to increase the number of Firewire ports available. What makes you think that you cannot connect an external HD to the Macbook with one Firewire Port?
9. Yes
10. No. How about that Linux!

I have a few questions which I hope some experienced Mac user can answer.
Approximately how long does the Mac Pro (both 4 and 8 cores) take to burn a DVD?
What is the estimated time that it will take once Leopard is out and the whole OS is 64 bit.
Approximately how long does and Intel Core 2 Duo iMac with 2 GB take to burn a DVD?
I am not asking about data DVDs. I am asking about video DVDs that people burn after editing video.
Windows has a cool program called Advanced System Optimizer and it speeds up your PC by removing junk files, duplicates and optimizing the registry. Is an equivalent program available for Mac?
Which one would give me *noticeably* better performance, VGA or DVI when I hook up a Mac to an HDTV.
When I hook up a Macbook to a good 32" HDTV, is the visibilty alright or blurred and is it recommended to achieve a big screen size like an iMac?
How loud does an iMac sound in a room with pin drop silence with and without the HDD churning away.
If I get a Macbook and decide to edit HD video on it but I got the 80GB option then how can I edit video without enough disk space? The Macbook has only one firewire port so I cant add an external HDD.
In Windows, if I have an OEM version of an OS it will not install on a new HDD because it requires to see a previous installation of Windows to make sure that the PC is actually a genuine PC from the manufacturer. If my Macs HDD crashes and I am not under any warranty and I buy a new HDD, will Mac OS X install like a normal retail version of Windows without the requirement of a previous install?
Can I totally erase my HDD and install XP like on a PC? I know I can use bootcamp but say I dont want Mac at all (sounds dumb but I am asking from a technical point). How about Linux?
