Re: PC vs Mac
madboobs you hit the nail on the head. One of the major Mac FREAK's here at work runs Vista on his Mac to play games. The other one was going to purpose-build a Mac gaming machine. After he did his research (suitable graphic cards) he started looking into the Vista on Mac option as well. I sleep through most or all of these
Re: PC vs Macnightcrow - I didn't know the average PC could run OS X, maybe the question should be how good? As said I've been using my Mac for 7 years (now on Tiger) and not likely to replace it any time soon. Yes it's a little slow but 95% of the time you don't notice it. Yes a PC is cheaper but the one I have has problems after 2 years which will require a replacement main board soon which means new CPU, RAM, Video card, I might as well just get a whole new PC! with less than half the life of my Mac which is working great with it new 1.6Ghz CPU upgrade. 28 2008-06-18 10:00:55 (edited by RoboticMonkey 2008-06-18 10:02:46)
Re: PC vs Mac@lancer1993 you just said that a PC is shit coz you need to upgrade a lot but on the end you say that you just upgraded your MAC and did i say this already YOU CAN PLAY GAMES ON A PC... with out the need of making you MAC an really expensive PC I'm just saying 29 2008-06-18 10:09:32 (edited by WhoopWhoop 2008-06-18 10:10:16)Re: PC vs MacIt's not this much a matter PC vs Mac, but about the attitude of their users. Since all PC-users are used to keep heads up from day 1 on, Mac-lovers still believe they are on the safe side. Because they use Mac. Haha. I'll never forget a good friend of mine, who always told me with a religious underone: "I have a Mac. Nothing can happen to me." Until reality bit. Now even this guy is running anti-virus-software. Although he uses a Mac. Re: PC vs MacSeriously, the whole PC vs Mac "discussion" is retarded because of all the fanatics, give me a break, everything is grey nowdays anyway, there is no "best". Especially since today a MAC is just about the same hardware as any PC, the OS is different. Apple have for a long time been alot better on areas such as usability, but MS is catching up and Vista, in my opinion, is a big step in the right direction. Don't forget that MS have a more difficult job than Apple, an OS is easier to make for a few hardware setups, than for "every" hardware in the world. Also, numbers don't lie, most computers in the world run Windows. However, one fact is; A PC can do everything a MAC can, but a MAC can't do everything a PC can (and I mean with satisfactory performance, without getting into hacks, tweaks and all that bull)

Which planet are you on.? Vista is a step backwards, several steps at least. Even MS admitted it was rubbish. DRM "manages access" in the same way that Prison "manages freedom".

Re: PC vs MacOh surprise surprise, PC has won the poll. 80.5% of the 1067 votes. But then it was obvious PC was going to win within the first few minutes . I personally voted for PC, although my vote was more to do with familiarity than any genuine preference. I haven't used a Mac since I was in high school, which was more years ago than I care to remember. But don't let me interrupt the geek discussion going on here. Carry on.

Re: PC vs MacMaybe we can have a OS poll sometime in the future? I personally would have a Mac platform if I could afford one, and I'd also run another OS (Linux distro.) on it (and maybe Windows). But as I can't afford one (hence me voting PC), I just dual boot Windows and Linux. You kind of get the best of both worlds. Linux is easy to use (once you know how to use it!) and customisable, while you also get the compatibility of Windows. I find Linux more fluid when programming, with Windows there's always a massive process going on somewhere. This may also be the case with Linux, but you never seem to notice it, it's always fast!   
Re: PC vs MacMac is a brand. An expensive one.

Re: PC vs Macokay enough about this
Re: PC vs Macmadboobs - the PC I have is barely 2 years old and can't be upgraded, I can't add more RAM as there is a problem with the slots so my next move is when it fails is to get a new one. Yes I've upgraded the Mac with a new CPU and other things but it's 7 years old and still my main computer I use every day. And yes to replace the Mac with a PRO Mac it's 2-3 times the cost of a similar spec PC but it it lasts as long as this one has I'll gladly do it again! 42 2008-06-19 08:38:53 (edited by RoboticMonkey 2008-06-19 08:39:52)

well i'm saying if you got a PC and after barely 2 years you cant upgrade... you might need to upgrade your "computer buying skills":D cheers
Re: PC vs MacIndeed. I dont really know what you mean either, after 7 years? Have you got anything from the old one left? If you do how good is that part today? Two years ago i had the same computer as i have today. Its a 2ghz dualcore from amd with 2,5gb ddr2 1000mhz and a ok graphic card. What i have upgraded is the ram. It was originally 1,5gb ddr2 667mhz. This computer might not be top but works good. And i can play most new games like, crysis and so on.
Re: PC vs Macyeah i did the same and mine is original from 2004
Re: PC vs Macbla bla blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Brothers! What we do in life...Echoes in Eternity!
Re: PC vs Mac
Re: PC vs MacI couldnt agree more. ;-) Brothers! What we do in life...Echoes in Eternity!
Re: PC vs MacGaming would never be a decider as to which variety of computer I'd purchase. Coz I'm totally shit at all games I sleep through most or all of these

welll very good point indeed...
Re: PC vs Macif you want a gaming machine, buy a damn nintendo - so clearly that is not an argument as to PCs being better than Macs. Brothers! What we do in life...Echoes in Eternity!
