[QUOTE="benparko, post: 1039610, member: 145406"] errmmm... creepy... :/ Personally I'd take a Mac Pro Quad-Core Intel Xeon with the 16gb RAM you mentioned and the SSD raided. But I obviously wouldn't buy the extra upgrades from Apple directly. Go to NewEgg or OWC or something like that. I think you'll find you like OSX alot more than Windows7. I Have Snow Leopard on my MacBook Pro and I run Windows7 as a virtual machine with VMWare Fusion and it runs great. I don't know what you mean by you can't play some of your older games on a VM?? But I think you'll find with OSX rather than with Windows7, that it will just work! It's a beautiful OS and everything is set out great! Ofcourse if you are a hardcore gamer and have been using Windows your whole life and you want to custom build your machine and be able to customize more, I think a PC may be the better option. Also a cheaper option. But if you are willing to pay a little extra, and don't want problems like you're having with your PC, take the Mac. Also for your external monitors you should look at the Apple Monitors. They are very expensive but the colours are awesome, especially if you are a photographer! Or if you don't mind that, look at Dell monitors. Those are awesome! [B][U]PC/Windows7[/U][/B] - Cheaper, more customizable, crash more, ugly OS [B][U] Mac/OSX[/U][/B] - More expensive, just works, very stable, great OS, great machine! I hope you choose the right machine for you.... Goodluck mate! -Ben [/QUOTE]
