A lot of number crunching, Word Processing, audio work, CD-Mastering, and image processing. Anytime I step out of the Adobe group of programs, little instabilities begin to show up. Most involved the Finder (not the programs) destabilizing. Often locking up all input except the mouse, or a complete freeze. This doesn't happen much right now, unless it's connected with internet stuff. This is one reason I'm looking forward to X. I was also planning on doing some server stuff if I got rich, but it looks like that's out for the near future (spending too much on anime recently). 3-4fps for a game. Holy crap, that sucks. Since I can get 30fps full screen off of MPEG-2 (decompression, decoding, and expansion) that really boggle the mind. (1024x768?)
