This thing has 6GB RAM. Surely more memory shifts the odds somewhat?
You really aren't grasping what "random" means, I think.
This makes about as much sense as thinking that spraypainting your computer red and giving it "go fast" detail stickers will improve your bandwidth speeds.

Now that's just silly. Everyone knows you need a skull grate over the PSU fan and lots and lots of LEDs to do that. Blue ones are OK, but the red ones are fastest.

Dear me. Such nastiness. I'm not claiming it is the direct fault of the mac. I was just asking.
Surely a more powerful machine might generate random events more often?, A pair of processors with lots of memory? Surely this is plausible cause of randomised events happening more frequently?
I think the general consensus is no.
However, I have always had an annoying proportion of twins in my game. I now believe it must be due to the shiny Apple sticker I slapped onto the side of my beat up 'ol Dell. Coincidence? I think not!

Or how computers work...

No. Random events do not happen more often because your computer is more powerful. They happen disportionately often because your computer hates you. Your computer hates you because ALL computers hate you. That's all there is to it. Have you ever pissed off the DM, then had bad things mysteriously keep happening to your character? Same idea.
