[QUOTE="grimharvest, post: 7959"] [b]Contemplating getting a Mac, Looking for Advice[/b] Okay now I've heard the usual "Mac rules, PC sucks" line, but I'd kind of like to get a little more specific than that. I'd really like to buy a Mac, but for the specs I'd want, I'd have to spend $1000 or so which is ALOT for me. Now after much research, I get the impression that Mac users will spend the money because they insist on top of the line computers. However this would be rather extravagant on my part to spend this much so I would need to KNOW that it's money well spent, and that I'm not just being an impulse buyer. My main reasons for using a computer are: 1) The internet (of course) 2) Multimedia (DVDs especially) 3) Games 4) Word Processing The question is, do I need or ought I to have something as snazzy as a Mac to do this stuff or is it really overkill for somebody who's basically a low end user? Also I wanted to know..my current DVD-Rom runs at 16x but I notice the Mac one's run at 8x..am I mistaken? Is there a real difference? [/QUOTE]
