Why should we? It doesnt get bogged down with a bazilion registry entries leading nowhere No need for antivirus either (yet). I liked modding PC's in the past, gone all the way with watercooling, overclocking etc, but those days are over. I prefer a tidy desk without a monster taking up half the livingroom. This one will be modded a bit soon tho, I'll be throwing in a Terrabyte drive when I can afford it, and another 2 gigs of RAM. 320GBs just aint enough for all the porn I download, according to Shrooms.
Teabag, you talk about performance. You run RAID? How come I outload you on BF maps? With a single S-ATA drive? Sure Apple must have done something right when they put this together. Also how can you claim Windows is oldest? Thats way out man.
Xerox started the GUI OS trend in 1981 with its Star, Macintosh followed up in 1984 with a Graphical OS for the masses.
"When the Macintosh was introduced in 1984, it represented something altogether new to the public – an affordable Graphical User Interface (GUI) on a computer with a mouse. Suddenly, while others were typing commands like “del index.com,†Mac users were dragging and dropping the image of a file into the image of a trash can."
This is also interesting: Microsoft Windows
Windows 1.01 (1985)
Windows 3.11 (1993)
Microsoft modeled the first version of Windows, released in 1985, on the GUI of the Mac OS. Windows 1.0 was a GUI for the MS-DOS operating system that had been the OS of choice for IBM PC and compatible computers since 1981. Windows 2.0 followed, but it wasn't until the 1990 launch of Windows 3.0, based on Common User Access that its popularity truly exploded. The GUI has seen major and minor redesigns since, notably the addition of spatial file management capabilities akin to the Macintosh Finder in Windows 95, in Windows Explorer; the contentious web browser integration in Windows 98; the subsequent transition away from spatial file management more towards a single-window, task-based interface with Windows XP; and the removal of the browser integration in Windows Vista. Windows traditionally differed from other GUIs in that it encouraged using applications maximized, as evident even in this early Windows 1.01 screenshot. The users usually switch between maximized applications using Alt+Tab keyboard shortcut or by clicking on a Taskbar listing all open applications, as opposed to clicking on a partially visible window, as is more common in some other GUIs. In 1988, Apple sued Microsoft for copyright infringement of the LISA and Apple Macintosh GUI. The court case lasted 4 years before almost all of Apple's claims were denied on a contractual technicality. Subsequent appeals by Apple were also denied, and Microsoft and Apple apparently entered a final, private settlement of the matter in 1997 as a side note in a broader announcement of investment and cooperation.

Twisted, the reason why you outload me is that my winxp is on a 120Gb sata 1 drive with 8 mb cache, windows run the applications, in this case battlefield, from my raid 0 setup. If both my windows and battlefield1942 would have been on the Raid setup there is no way you could outload me. a hard drive will and cannot get faster just because you mount it in a mac.
since you got your only 320gb sata2 drive with 16mb cache, you got it all at one place, theres no larger sync needed for that.
and there are registry cleaners and good computer engineers like myself who does know how to clean up a registry.
i have missed to say that i would rather actualy buy a mac than a dell or hp computer. but as i have a choice i chose not to pick any of those, i bought my own parts and put it all together to get exactly what i want.

Good thing there are registry cleaners and competent people. Even better if you need neither (and certainly not yearly reformatting) to keep your computer running as it should.

no your right actualy, windows is no good and formatting and registry cleaning shouldnt be needed if it was to be a really good OS. For me, it doesnt bother me at all since doing it takes no time at all, and i need not reformat my computer ever since i clean up registry mess whenever i have uninstalled anything or installed anything, theres allways dumpfiles and shit registry entries to clean. I cannot and will not defend windows on the functionality matter, you need to be a good computer engineer to handle a computer well and to be able to clean it properly without formatting it. I am sure that OSX works better and the reason i use windows xp is because i like the compability that it has.
Windows suck at much, but OSX doesnt have what i want either.

OK. Only two more pages of this thread and we have you buying a Mac! Yay! No, seriously, as a true hardcore gamer and hardware hacker, you are correct, you won't get happy by switching. But if games ever become less important for you than they are today, well, you know where to look.

im slightly annoyed by the myth that macs are flawless and never go wrong, seem to be spread by avid fans of mac. I have to use them at college and they have alot of frustrations and programs crash all the time.

Any chance we are talking about programs made by M$ here? lol, jk, nothing is perfect, but it can handle an application crashing violently without dragging the system down. I really cant say anything about the stability yet, but I've had this for ehmm, 2 months now? So far its been no problemos. MSN had a few crashes, Safari hung once or twice, no big deal.
