FINALLY! BootXChanger for: (PPC)10.4x/10.5x, or (Intel)10.4x/10.5x/10.6x & 10.8.5(tested)

OR,

Here are TWO Mac Utilities, I just can't live without...!

==========================================================================

~ Best Ram Configurations for the PPC/eMac G4, PPC/iMac G5", Intel/iMac Core i5
the MacBook Pro w/Intel Core 2 Duo, and the Intel/Mac-Pro Quad-Core Xeon" ~

(1) The (PPC)"eMac G4", has performed admirably(1.25ghz) after
installing 'two-512mb(PC-2700)of Ram.. What a difference...!

(2) The (PPC)"iMac G5", has done quite well,(1.8ghz) when 'two-512mb(PC-3200)
Ram were installed... Although, 'two 1GB(PC-3200)would be best configuration.

(3) The Intel "iMac i3", has 4GB standard,(3.2ghz)works quite well, and with 2-
4GB(1333 MHz PC3-10600 DDR3 SDRAM)installed, is unbeatable.(10.6x/10.7x/10.8x)

(4) the Intel/Mac Mini Dual-Core, comes with 2GB(4GB in 2010)of DDR3 PC3-8500
SODIMM installed..Since the "Intel/Mac"(universal) 10.5x/10.6x software works Best.

(5) the Intel/MacBook-Pro Dual-Core, comes with 4GB of DDR3 PC3-8500
SODIMM installed..Since the "Intel/Mac"(universal) 10.6x software works BEST.

(6) the Intel/Mac-Pro Quad-Core Xeon, is best suited with at least
2GB of(DDR2 PC2-5300)Ram installed..the Intel/Mac"OS X 10.5x, or
OS X 10.6x software works best.(running 12GB since 2011-fantastic!)

(7) and Finally, the Intel/iPad/iPad-Mini is great Tool to surf the Web,
listen to Music..Play Games..read & send email..BUT if you want use
it to Transfer files(other than Music/Photos) & use for real Work!..you'll
need a WiFi Hard-Drive Like one Shown Here other than that the NEW
iPad only provides ONE available "Lightning connector"..and what with
iPad's only connector, your at a loss! - it's a Learning tool But for now,
iPad/iPad Mini, is basically just a Really Cool Gadget!(in My opinion)
