iPhone and iTunes

So, I am hoping to get my MB in a few days, Right now I am syncing my iPhone with my Windows desktop, but it gets to be a pain cause I like to format every 6months, I know that iTunes runs alot faster on a mac then on windows, so what you guys think should I change and sync with my MB?

Reformatting a Windows PC every 6 months is a little excessive, but thats just my opinion.

Anywho, it doesn't really matter which machine you sync it on, it will do the same thing in the end. I personally sync to a Mac, so does my wife, but my parents use a PC.

iTunes on my Dell E6500 runs just as fast as my iTunes on my MB or MBP, hardly a difference.

Reformatting your HD every 6 months is excessive and if you have to do it then your HD is on the way out.

I'd suggest that if you are going to be putting most of your music, videos, pictures, calendars and contact information on your MB then use that to sync your iPhone with as it will be the one with the most up to date information on.

Doesnt really mean that your Hard Drive is on the way out doesnt affect ur drive. I just like to run a clean lean windows system. Call it OCD I guess, its usually not ever six months but most times it is, if its not every 6 months its at least once a year. But most of my music and pictures etc.. I keep on an secondary internal drive and a external drive as backup
but thats just me..

Yea it does...reformatting puts extra strain on a HD (which is your drive) because you're clearing all the data and file system on it and then putting back on a file system.

It's perfectly fine to reformat when your PC is getting slower but only as a last resort or when something has gone terribly wrong.
