[QUOTE="inflexion, post: 70884, member: 8486"] mate im more or less the exact same as you i mean look at my avatar and tell me what OS im using now :p TBH ive been reading about macs for quite a while and this is what ive come to, so everyone can feel free to correct me, appluase or even abuse me with this. apple is PPC which as we all know is totally different from x86 PPC is a highly optimised system as it comes in one configuration (ie, all the ram is the same spec etc) x86 is about freedom so thats why they have reached 3+Ghz and apple hasnt apple know that their H/W is expensive so all their SW works on old machines provided it has the ram and its all gurarenteed x86 is dependant on the type of program as to weather it will run or not macs look so much bettter then most x86 machine (my preference) Linux comes at the end as its all the same more or less the same on different platforms if you use the same disto Last thing, im a winblows/MDK user who wants a mac but doesnt have the funds. They appeal to me because there Unix based and Tiger promises more (so ive read). I want a computer that works when i want to work and has good HW support, yea i know linux has good support but some stuff is a real terminal moment of commands to get it working and there can be dependancy after dependancy and at the end its too much like effort. All in all its courses for hourses and personal choice [/QUOTE]
