What about my AMD machine with an Nvidia GeForce2?

And the term PC has always meant personal computer. The Windows using world simply deemed it to mean boxes running Windows. Since Macs are now running on the x86 architecture, doesn't that, by your definition, make a Mac a PC?
baggss said:You do know that the new Intel Macs ARE PCs and will run Windows better than many name-brand PCs, right?
Mathiau said:I never said dell or hp or other OEM make hardware, i know they dont make hardware, they buy in bulk and toss it together and sell it with their name on it in as many places as possible. It would be just as wrong for PC World to say Dell makes the most reliable hardware , or about HP or comcrap or gateway or any OEM seller, so dont try to turn this around as if i am a hardcore Windows based supporter trying to put down apple.
Mathiau said:I would love to see the facts on that one....
Considering if the hardware is identical, how could it run slower ? That makes no sense. Thas like saying a yellow ferrari is faster then a blue ferrari because it is yellow.
I am not over familiar with boot camp, but doesnt boot camp just provide a method for the system, to see windows? Or is windows actually being emulated with in boot camp? thus likely loading more of the O/S into memory ?
Mathiau said:thanks baggs for the info on boot camp, i hadnt seen any articles myself and if that is the case, talk about a slap in the face to MS , i had heard about thew new EFI and i had thought Vista was heading in that direction.
I am sorry my response prior sounded as such, i had no itention of sounding that way, to me it is relevent because it show just how reliable PC World magazine is, it isnt, they provide people with wrong information, those out there who know little about computers would then be lead to beleive that apple makes everything in the computers they sell, which is wrong and miss-leading.
PC World Magazine is just another publication that praises who ever sends them the biggest check, hence why i never read it, nor many other computer magazines.
