We have a dual 867mhz mac here at school with the 22 inch studio LCD display, it's one of the fastest computers I have ever used. It blows away any pc that I have used for video editing, graphics, etc.

I like the old Macs, like the old Performas. Nowadays though, I prefer Windows 98. I have nothing against new Macs though, i've just never really used them.

if i was into vid editing n then i would consider a mac. since im not i strongly perfer a pc. macs are way too expensive, and the performance just doenst justify the amount of money u have to spend to get a good one.

I prefer windows over mac personally, i'd actually be using linux right now if I didnt have a stupid winmodem..but some people swear by macs, so my opinion on windows is just that..an opinion.

Well, we use Windows 98 and I find Macs really hard to use but as far as the companies and founders go, I like Apple better. Pirates of Silicon Valley is a sweet movie. Yes, so anyway.

oz, why the hell would you spend so much on a machine like that and then waste your time w/a 5400 rpm drive?

10x CD RW
GeForce2 32mb
19 inch monitor
Windows 98 (the BEST version, I think)
Cable Modem

As you can see, I'm not a computer expert, but I do like my set up.

let me expand a bit on my rig, im building it primarily for photo and video editing, but with a strong secondary motive of gameplay, and game editing.

the 1024 MB of DDR ram is because I will be video editing, I will be running dual 60 Gig 5400 rpm hard drive in RAID configuration. I will eventually buy a GeForce 4 ti 4600 for graphics. Im going to have a 21inch monitor, and run a small 15 inch for video preview and such. Im in school and this computer im on like freezes everytime I type a word, so ill continue later...

I like mine.

pentium 4 1.8 MHz
20x10x40 cd
40gig + 10 that's kickin around that I'll put in eventually.
I've only got 128 ram so it's kinda useless with a 1.8 but I'll fix that soon enough.

the 5400 rpm drive is for mp3 and large backed up crap like the zillions of simpsons episodes I have. Everything runs off of the faster 12,500 drive, all the stupid data that doesn't neeed the quick drive is thrown on the 80.
