[QUOTE]Originally posted by EdipisReks: [QB] one, macs are slow. did you read the articles i linked? obviously not. a 2.53 gigahertz P4 system was up to 40% faster than a dual gHz g4 system. the pentium4 was designed to clock high, that's why it has a long pipeline design. clockspeed is a totally accurate description of a processor if you are talking about the clockspeed of a processor. the g4 has a short pipeline, thus it performs more operations per clockcycle than a pentium4. obviously, this design hasn't worked out in the end, since a single top of the line p4 is up to 40% faster than a [i][b]dual[/b][/i] top of the line g4 system. the proper way to judge a cpu is total performance and then performance per dollar. the pentium4 obviously wins in both. it also happens to run at high clock speeds. i'm sorry you aren't knowledgable enough to see past that. apples are certainly not the "mercedes" of computers. what are you paying for? you don't even get a 2 button mouse. nice features. :rolleyes: out of date ram, expensive video cards, bad keyboards. you don't even get a decent speaker system. real fucking nice. go configure a pc at dell and a mac. look at the total prices and the features. you will see that the dell offers better stuff for less. keep in mind that in most applications, the dell system is going to be a lot faster. i'm running an advance copy of 10.2, and it has been pretty decent. 10.1 sucked, as did 10.0. it has taken apple a long time to bring out a halfway decent version of this operating system. it still doesn't run well on a top of the line apple system though, which speaks volumes about the apple platform. ms also took a long time for the 9x systems to become half way decnet (they never became decent), but the NT platform hasn't had anywhere near as many problems as os x has. [QUOTE] I try to tell you of my experiences, and you retort with arguments that "Macs suck" and other crap. [/QUOTE]you're a jackass. i did indeed say macs suck, and i firmly believe that they do in their current incarnation. i also gave my reasons for saying that. did you forget to read all of those? you people have very selective reading habits and memory. you say i gave you crap. are benchmarks crap? are price to performance ratios crap? how long have you been using apples? i've been using them for a long freaking time. i have a lot of experience with them. the current versions are, compared to the current competition, a lot worse than the apples of 1993 were to the then current competition. if my experiences counts as crap to you, then your's is a lot worse, considering that you haven't written anything worthwhile. if you don't type anything worth reading, them i'm not even going to respond.
