[QUOTE="HelpdeskRules, post: 1247506, member: 203697"] Macs tend to use RAM more efficiently than Windows computers so comparing the two is a difficult comparison. The biggest difference between the speed of a Windows PC and a Mac, is the operating system. If you take a Mac and PC that are similar specs then you'll find everything from the boot time to the speed of the applications themselves that the Mac (in my experience) is quicker! Not only I have I found the boot time to be quicker but once I see the desktop I can start opening programs on my MacBook where as my Windows desktop PC I have to wait several more minutes for it to settle down so I can do something! My advice to you is simple. Go to an Apple store, explain your a PC user and are considering switching to a Mac but aren't sure if the Macs will be up to speed. Take along a USB memory stick with some of your photos on and see if they'll show you how you'd put them in iPhoto and edit them etc and you'll soon see how fast/better a Mac is! :) [/QUOTE]
