[QUOTE="Ex_PC_Puke, post: 113743"] Dude ... you could do those activities on a Pentium III 1Ghz with a decent graphic card (i.e. my old PC). Unless you're suffering from some extreme case of "GHz perversion" or "Tweak-phreak syndrome" .... relax chill out and get a mac. It does everything you need and does it well. With out all the maintenance overhead (MSFT updates <endless>, virus updates <endless>, spyware updates ....) and crappy MSFT applications. :biohazard Trust me - I've spent more hours than I care to think about in meeting rooms at Intel where the topic of the day was .... how are we gonna use these GHz ?? What (unlikely) usage model could we come up with to burn GHz --- because we all knew that basic apps (word processing - email - surfing - music - decent graphics) only required 1 - 2Ghz at most. One thing PCs do use that xtra Ghz for is running virus and spyware in the background --- now thats useful :p [/QUOTE]
