Pardon the double post, you posted this while I was typing and mine is already too damned big, but I just thought I would say you are right NOT to spend 2k, its been worked out going by the fact most people update their PC every 3 years and try and make it the fastest out there, that people who update every 2 years, spend less and buy a mid-range computer not only spend less overall but have a faster computer more of the time than someone who blows a heap on them every 3 years.

That's right, i have a great mobo and running a quad core. I can just chuck in another gig or 2 of ram every year, and add another couple HDD's.

I have upto 8gb or ram as well as can hook up upto 8 SATA drives + 1 IDE.

I think desi once said...

PC = futureproof.

I know the mac boys will pull the old 'yeh but our OS's work on systems made several years ago'. I don't mind if i'm stuck with XP and vista for the rest of my life.

Cham-balam said: But there is the problem i personally see, they work, that's all they do. If i want to add another 2 lots of 500gb HDD's to my mac in a year, i can't do it, or at least without much pain. My new PC has a door on the side that makes it easier then anything.

And when i want to buy a tower that is expandible, i gotta pay 4 grand or more. I think bee made a strong point. OSX is designed to work on mac computers, configured and made by apple, testing by apple. I'm sure if microsoft sold PC's like they did it would be fine as well, that's why just about 95% of people i know use a PC, because almost all configurations these days can run windows, i don't see kmart selling computers with mac OS's.

Technology advances to fast, so fast that i can't be bothered to spend 2K on a computer that will be outdated or will not be upto the standards of what i want in some part of it, and then i can't end up adding



Partly true Cham. Nowadays, I wouldn't consider putting a HDD inside a computer, I would be adding an external drive that I can just plug into the next computer and so one.

There are ways of expanding everything without having to buy a 4grand tower. Those towers are designed and built for seriously pro designers etc, they are not your day to day machines. But this comes back to my comment about resale.

Skarteh said: And you'd be hard pressed to find someone who would defend IE. The reason the thing is so bloody awful is its under a typical Microsoft *monopolize the industry* regime and doesn't get fixed because it has the biggest market share already. I don't have IE crash or anything but its no Firefox. Trying to design web pages that work under bloody IE is a complete nightmare. It has its own way of doing everything.



haha tell me about it! I've been running a web dev company for 10 years.. we never do anything with IE. Firefox & Safari are my browsers of choice!

Yeh, i think my point (what ever it is anymore) lol, is that if mac just designed software which were put on systems built by like dell, it would be more popular, but then it would crash like vista does.

I'm certain if microsoft designed a computer FOR vista it would see the same results as OSX, not saying it would be better then leopard, just saying that's where the glithces are.

haha.. s'cool mate. I like these debates.. I think it often weens out the fanboy over those that have 'real world' experience, and shows that people often dislike for no real reason at all. At least I can honestly say my views and decisions all come from experience, not stuff I have read or heard!


Firefox doesn't have to save your PW chamsucks. Just switch password saving off. Of course, if you were a real Mac person, you'd go get 1password, which works across firefox, safari and a few other programs, and saves your passwords in a keychain.. you get the same info in all those supported programs. One of the first progs I install on my Mac's
