Whee Mac zealot saying that a Mac is better for Office stuff and graphics/video stuff. This has been disproven so many times that it isn't even funny. You like it because it's different. That's cool, and that's your choice. But it ain't better. Especially not with Doom 3.

It's all personal preference. You can get a PC that will outperform a G5 and a G5 that will outperform that same PC. It's just a matter of which platform you enjoy working with more.
nihilist:
I dunno Jeph, I've never seen a G5 outperform a well-equipped PC.
Though you're right, it is all personal preference. Like it because you like it. C'est tout.

Ok... First of all, I'm not a Mac zealot. Why is it that people who defend Macs get called zealots, a word with obvious negative connotation, but people who even more vehemently defend PCs don't get labeled at all? This is my first ever Mac, and I'm just now finding out how much I like Macs better. I'm not some militant Mac user who's out to get everyone to use Macs. I understand that it's personal preference. No need for name calling.

I don't like it just because it's different. I like it because I think it's generally better for what I want to do with it.

Doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Personally, I've never seen a PC outperform a Mac of equal system specs when it comes to video/graphics stuff. Again, doesn't mean it doesn't happen. I'm not saying Macs are always better with that stuff. In my experience though, they are.

Hey, I agree with you here. PCs are usually better for gaming. A lot of games aren't even programmed to run on Macs, and the ones that are usually need special versions in order to work. But a game will work better on a machine with better specs, regardless of operating system.
When all is said and done though, yes, it's just personal preference. I was just happy to have a new computer. Sharing that excitement was the entire reason for this thread.
