I wanna get a CRAY super computer
always wanted to decipher the genetic code of Tiger beetles
blooflame:
IBM Mainframe.... normally handles a couple thousand people at once so when I get it to myself it's damn fast.
Haven't been able to run Halo on it.. closest thing to a video game is the FORTRAN-based Lunar Lander <grin>
Actually, computers are computers... at the metal level they're all strikingly similar. What people are arguing about usually is not even the Operating System since most personal ones are based on the mouse and icon idea. What people really are arguing about are applications - what you like about using a Mac and the applications that come with it versus the applications on the PC with Windows, etc.

Application optimization and driver support.
Macs and Wintels could be technically at the same level in performance, but with the Vid card manufacturers focussing mainly on DirectX, OpenGL is suffering in the game department.
And as for games designed solely in OpenGL, they still suffer on the mac (and linux), because most are designed solely for Win32, then ported over by some 3rd party company (usually), if they are ported over at all. This is why most people say Wintel is better for gaming then Macs.
Blizzard does a good job programming their games for Mac and Win32, but I have a feeling they don't spend as much time on the Mac side of things.

Actually got proof for that statement... or are we just gonna blindly say stuff?
