Mac Questions.

g4m3rof1337 · 09-09-2007, 11:42 PM

Well, I am buying a Mac Book pretty soon. Like in the next few weeks or something. I know Leopard is due in October or around there.

My questions are...

Can the Mac Book run Leopard? Meaning, on the 1gb Ram and stuff.

I have a desktop PC and two other PC laptops that connect to my router, through wired and wireless, can a Mac connect? Or do I need some accessory?

What are some programs I may want? I may want to design web pages, make music and stuff.

Any other additional info is great.

Thanks.

nothing needed for your wireless if the mac book has an airport card (which it should). May want to look into Adobe Creative Suite.
