You're not very good at reading, are you?


I'd love it if this thread would get closed

Why? Because your ignorance is displayed on its marquee?

I paid less than $1200aud for my computer. it is currently more powerful than any retailing Mac, and it can do everything and MORE than a mac can do.

Who's really the ignorant one?

I have to side on PC on this one. Mac is inflated in price due to the hype and brand name. I have never owned one but I have used them. I hear upgrading components on a mac is a pain in the ass. I've never had problems with any of my PCs. XP works like a charm for me. I find the Mac OS confusing and cartoonish. XP is straightforward and logical, I like that.

I have a hard time believing your computer outperforms a Mac Pro with 2x quadcore 3.2GHz processors, 32GB RAM, 4x 300GB 15,000 RPM hard drives, and a 1.5GB GPU.

He wasn't actually. THAT is available through Apple's web site. It's a tad pricey - $18,799, but you know, some people have more money than sense. Gotta say, if I was going to spend that much, I'd want the $249 Applecare warranty thrown in for nothing.

Here's an excerpt from the web site when I spec'ed this machine out.

Well i guess if thats what it takes to grow your e-penis these days.. LOL

Us regular folk stick with normal computers. Nice rig though!

32 gig of ram?.. How do they plan on adressing that and utilizing it within their 32bit OS?.. it can't be done

Plus, software has not been written to totally take advantage of 4 core processors.. So the power they offer remains untapped (to an extent.) If you actually took a serious look at the figures, you'd notice that an eight core processor offers literally NO increase in performance.

My computer consists of an intel Q6700 clocked up to 3.6Ghz, an X48 MB with 4gig of 1200mhz DDR3, 512meg video card and as much storage as I like. I use this as a network host to a Very small beowulf performance cluster using just one other node, which is a Pentium 3 clocked at 2.4ghz, and is my DSP processor. The nodes are networked using a very high bandwidth ethernet - no latency.
