8086, would you please tell me what you mean by "napping"? It sounds like the snooze in System Preferences. (My Mac is a PowerBook G4 and its OS X Leopard 10.5.3 is in French so the translation may be confusing me).
Before I switched back to a Mac I built my own PCs and one of the few things I miss is all the component and BIOS flexibility I used to have.
FWIW I think I have heard some people now install Linux on their Macs.
Also, my wife has a Mac too, a MacBook. I installed VMWare Fusion and Windows XP Pro on her MacBook, mainly because she needed just one Windows program and I was curious as to how well the virtualization would work.
Anyhoo, I will eventually try to test a music setup with Linux on a Mac and/or Windows on a Mac via VMWare/Windows.
Follow Ups:
if you install the CHUD tools, and then go to "developer" and extras there is a preference pane called processor. It allows you to turn off "napping" which throttles the CPU somewhat, It was a big problem with g5's and recording studios introducing noise. It really smoothes out the sound and gives a lot of extra finesse.

8086, thanks much !!!
I had a Developer's account when Apple switched to Intel but then forgot all about it. I'll install the CHUD tools and look for other stuff too.
Thanks again.
