WTF macs suck that is the end of it, with overclocking the new p4's are hitting 4 gigahertz and getting FSB of over 1GHz. The fastest Mac processor only operates at 1.4Ghz, and guess what NO OC A MAC. pc's own and macs suck, end of focking story. and macs used to own the graphics world.....10 years ago. pc's are better screw macs.
Overclocking? Bleh...nothing but a gay nerd's hobby so he can sit in the dark, in his underwear, playing gaymes with other gay nerds. No real world applications.
Oh, by the way, it's "*******" not "FOCKING".
End of ******* story.

Hooray for another proof-free thread.
According to my uncle Frank, Macs taste the best with bacon, while PC owners use 2 in 1 shampoo 73% more than Mac owners.
2 in 1 is a lie. 1 is not big enough to hold two...that's why two was invented. -Mitch Hedberg

Oh, no! Not another Ford vs. Chevy thread....I mean, Mac vs. Windows...
Bill Gates liked Macs so much he copied MAC OS and renamed it Windows.

You mean Jobs and Wozniak liked the PARC project so much they copied it, along with Bill, GEOS and probably a few others I'm forgetting.
Mac did NOT invent the GUI or the mouse.

I have nothing against the MAC per say other then I cannot do my job on one, it does not and never will support Visual Studio .NET or Access databases leaving me out.
OS/X is awesome, I like the way it looks and it's pretty solid and for once is actually multi threaded (The old MAC OS is not) Of course if you were running your OS on a kernal that had been kicked around from the late 60's and had little to be backwards compatiable with and you only ran ONE platofrm you'd be fairly stable as well. I've never been to keen on the old finder interface but that's just me.
Apple blew it on the schools. Kids learn Macs then wonder why there are none in buisness.
Software selection is certainly less for the Mac developers don't usually do nitch markets unless it's easy to program for. Going to a UNIX base was a good idea for Apple. Usually you can get the software to do what you need and at times it's compareable to the PC. Well unless you're a programmer in which case you're behind the times, don't code on a Mac. Perhaps OS/X has changed that.
As far as video rendering most the really high end studios are using SGI or the Amiga platform, not the Mac. Desktop publishing is the Macs domain for certain, alltho it took Adobe a long time to get an OS/X version of it's software out there.
For 3D rendering the PC is faster. See also: GeForce FX
Hardware is better then it used to be so long as you don't have an iMac. Apple finally got their heads out of their butts and adopted the PCI bus. Still much less hardware Mac wise vs the PC.
Windows crashes a lot simply because of the backwards compatibility issues, Microsofts desire to add millions of new features per release and the fact that PC hardware is extreamly diverse. The computer I'm on right now is crash prone as all hell, I figure I crash 4 or 5 times a day. My other system doesn't crash. Crappy hardware. Yay.
The difference between RISC and CISC is not nearly as pronouced as it was. Macs aren't really that much faster then the PC.
Anyways, I've been consulting for 15 years now I've seen both and never had a reason to suggest a Mac to anyone. Linux sure lots of times (even if I'm the most dangerous thing that ever happended to Linux) but never a Mac.

not sure how to quote yet but attomica, are you trying to be funny? i think you're just trying to make us PC people mad......i guess your attempt at sarcasim relfects that you really must be a mac user though, and the last thing i want to do is start a newbie battle so it's over here. anything you say is stupid and sucks and I am the end all be all. you bow down and accept defeat because you don't know computers, i do. sorry you lost. must suck to have actual statics and performance #'s thown at you and all you do is whimper like a little BITCH. **** YOU {attomica 
} OWNED
