Wow i feel offended but i rarely talk about my mac its only a computer. But w/e. I just like things that look nice and to behonest i'm considering going back to windows.
Actually Mac's are just as good as PC's when it comes to gaming.Atrus
Thats the biggest pile of crap i ever heard in my life,PC's are better than macs for gaming because windows PC's can play almost all PC games on the market,while Macs can only play a fraction of all current PC games,and high-end PC's are cheaper than a high-end mac.
Macs - great for simple tasks but if you want to do anything a bit more complicated expect a world of headaches ahead. Macs are a very narrow and well paved road.
PC - your pc experience really depends on your use and your pc knowledge. If you're an idiot on the internet looking for free porn don't expect your computer to be running for more than a week or so. Nice things about PC is anything is possible if you know what you're doing, and even if you don't there's thousands of people that can write code for you. Do you really think you can modify an xbox controller to run on a mac?? PCs are like 20 lane highways with 40 different companies doing the construction work.
Speaking of Maddox, The Alphabet of Manliness was one of the funniest books I've read in a long time.Headbanger88
Was a pretty funny book.

I agree with pretty much everything he said, including the fact that they base their slogans around the fact that their own userbase it pretty computer illiterate.Â

You're living in the past. The new Intel Macs can run Windows and play any game a Windows based PC can in addition to booting into OSX and running apps in a stable and optimized environment.
Ive worked on mac for 5yrs and PC all my llife. Ive allways seen Mac to be much better at Music Recording and Graphic apps such as Studio Max, Maya etc. For gaming personnally using a Windows OS ontop of OS X is just silly. Its like installing Virtual PC on your computer. Main problem for me about a Mac is that you cannot buy it in parts. You buy a G5 and thats it. Maybe in the states its cheap rest of the world its way expensive. I like to build my own Computer, know what is going on myself and fixing it myself not be a lamo and take it to some Mac dealership to charge me huge amounts to fix a simple thing.

You use bootcamp and load either Windows or OSX. You're not emulating the OS. Aside from that, you do sacrifice some hardware flexibility for optimization but in my experience from using my brothers Mac Pro, the OSX interface runs much more smoothly and with a smaller footprint than Windows.
If it wasn't for games and specific software apps by MS needing you to boot into Windows to play, I don't really see any specific advantage to using windows. It's all in the proprietary software apps like Word and of course the Games that run on the Windows OS.

Actually Mac's are just as good as PC's when it comes to gaming. What!? ... not exactly
How so? Boot Camp enables the new Macs to run Windows as well if not better than PC's running Windows, and with Windows comes all the software that is incompatible with OSX and the older Macs.

But Macs come equipped with the latest and greatest in graphics card tech right? Tell me when I can put a 8800GTX in?

Currently you can get a Radeon X1900XT which is what my brother chose, or a Nvidia 7300GT (up to 4), or Quadro FX 4500 for graphical work. There's currently nothing it cannot run on the highest settings.

What would be the cost of equipping a mac with a x1900xt. And also running a game currently at highest settings depends on what resolution you play at. edit: and the 7300GT is hardly a gaming card

the sad thing is that is probably their biggest selling point...that they can run windows :|

The X1900XT costs an extra 249USD over the 7300GT for obvious reasons, and as far as the 7300GT is concerned you can run up to 4 of them in SLI. Contrary to your belief the 7300GT is a gaming card and was released in Spring of last year and is a respectable issue.
By this standard the 8800 stops being a gaming card in the next 10 months which is nothing more than playing into myth.

You know what Macs can't do? Right click. Only one mouse button? Hah! My mouse has 7. And I need them all for some games.
lol I so agree with that guy. Although it could do without the swearing and flaming. It is hard to respect your opinions when you are using words like that
Mac's are terrible for gaming, so no matter how many features I like about it, I will only get a mac specifically for internet purposes. easteast
o rly  u know that a mac is usally more powerful than a pc of its price. macs are great for pics and stuff. AND they can run windows. anyways macs have many games available, halo, thesims 2, and many others and with the windows OS installed it can run windows games. macs have 10 viruses and now feature Intel Dual-Core processors. That's 3 times faster than the original mac processors. Now its a great time to swich to a mac. I was not paid to write this. See for yourself  http://www.apple.com/getamac/
[QUOTE="Account_27"]You know what Macs can't do? Right click. Only one mouse button? Hah! My mouse has 7. And I need them all for some games.
Actually, the new Macs come with the Mighty Mouse, a programmable 4 button mouse that yes, right-clicks. It also has a touch sensative shell and force sensitive squeeze buttons.
At any rate my brother uses the Logitech G5 gaming mouse for gaming.

Well that doesn't make mac's better than PC for gaming because PC is MUCH cheaper than mac and you'll need a VERY expensive mac to be able to play current games on max settings,in fact the mac pro doesn't even have high-end grafx cards like the 8800GTX.

My Mac mouse has no buttons, it has some wierd touch click thing which gives it the usual left andf right clicks and on the side two buttons which you touch to switch between programs or bring them all up in mini pages to see what you currently have open
