Mac Vs PC Again

http://live.pirillo.com - foxtrot_MGS wrote to me, and said that after watching all the videos I've done about Macs, he's been considering making the switch. However, he states: "I've always used windows, and so I have some feelings about switching to a Mac". Here are his thoughts.

Ubuntu solves all..

well to all pc and mac fans. mac`s take up about 10 percent of the computer market. While pc`s take up the other 90 percent. For a few reasons. Which is mostly price and specs. While people are like i get garage band and i movie and whatever. Fact is you can buy a better program exclusive to pc for about 100 bucks which if you spent 600 dollars on a pc that is 10x better that`s a total of 700 dollars for a better computer and programming software

you guys are all douchebags. leave this guy alone. ok i'm sure he is a fag but that doesn't make him any worse than you or me.

Boot Camp broke my mac's hard drive. I had to buy a new one. Dang boot camp. I'll never use boot camp again.

@TheFlyingElephanter and once you get a virus or the pc breaks down will anyone replace it? No. Apple customer support replaced my iMac when it got a burn in and that is why the price is so high. Also you say that $100 program will save you money, but video, music and word processing all adds up to around $300 if you want quality.

This is pre windows 7.

Oh yeah i spell fail hard when just finished a 15 hour shift

A very old mate of mine is a tech for GOOGLE, and his words are that amd=Intel

just amd do more for presses to render more for in game than its brother Intel,

I didn't want to be leave it,that they are made by the same people but he has been a programer for over 15 years,

I went with cheaper and better for gaming,= win

P.S. I get 100+fps on maxed out settings in BF3 never lag while my mate lags all the time on Intel you do the math he spent $4000 on his, i spent $2000

@maxxikiller

Um I can if a mate who spent over $1000 on CPU that is Intel while i spent $210 on my CPU, He asked why my PC runs better with SLI while his runs slower with SLI,

He also has the same setup as me on his girlfriends PC and it runs better than his, Fact is Fact, AMD with SLI is way better than Intel with ATI/SLI, CPU will do more work than the GPU's thus slowing the system down,

Hell i would have got the same rig if i didn't know better

[maxxikiller]

@TheDrunkenkiller You cant really compare a six core AMD, with intels six core processors for that kinda price.

[maxxikiller]

@rahulbsb1 You can optimize a PC exactly how you want it by nuilding it your self.. To say that a Mac is better optimize is shit, the components probably have better quality. And there isnt that much to optimize between components, there are faster once and slower once. And other parts that are compatible with the fast parts.

Nothing has a soul. Its called a conscious, living things has it. Not someting that reads binary code for you.

Intel are about 70% the same all round, I have a full amd system all the way to SLI

with my black boxed am3x6 core cpu cost me $250 while the best of the Intel cpu's x6core's costs about $600- $900 and have seen some for like $1500

and if running in SLI the cpu slows right the hell down Sure my pc and its 10 fans is like sitting next to a JET but its runs so much faster while i am yet to over clock it
