Ok, so i'm thinking of buying a mac pro. I have a few questions though.
1) I know it's possible to run windows games on mac, but how does the performance compare? I think you have to run windows in a VM and in my experience with VM's the performance is crap. I dont play my games unless they're on ultra and if i cant play on ultra, i upgrade.
2) If i'm going to spend $3k on a computer i want it to last. How are the single cpu quad core xeon's compared to a top of the line amd phenom x4? How many years will this $3k machine last me?
3) How well does it run linux?
4) How well does the android sdk run on mac? i know it's a bit buggy on linux, or was.
in case you are wondering, i need it for iOS and OSX development as well as windows, linux, and android development.
