Mac Vs. Pc

Which one would you use and why?
And have you ever tried a mac??

I personally love both macs and pc, but unfortunalty they don't work well together. I know this becuase I regularlly use both macs and pc's in school and i know that networking them together is a problem.

I like OS X and can't wait to try OS X Tiger. I think of macs as being great for multimedia stuff while pc's more for work.

Re: Mac Vs. Pc

Usually Macs are a lot more expensive than PCs with the same performance.
But lately they have been improving on this matter.
Virginia tech university in the US built a computer cluster using 1100 G5 macs! That's the power of 1100 computers behaving as one.
They chose mac over PC because they gave them a better deal. Maybe they gave them great prices because it's good publicity for them.
Here are the links:

lol my teacher's son works with animation, so what they did was join up 5 mac G5's so that they can render quickly. Many people companys choose G5's becuase they're 64bit just wait till longhorn comes out

Re: Mac Vs. Pc

well macs have been known to outperform pc in basicaly anything dealing with graphics...
in the other hand pcs are very cheap (compared to macs) they perform very well with spread cheats and other programs
in my oppinion pcs are catching very fast with the mac industry
have you ever seen the inside of a mac?
well i have it is very tidy i was really impressed
