Whee Mac zealot saying that a Mac is better
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.
You like it because it's different
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.
I've never seen a G5 outperform a well-equipped PC
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.
Especially not with Doom 3
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.
