Computers & Video Games / Mac Vs. Pc

Ok, let me do MY comparison.

PC: Games come standard.
Mac: The only games I can play are on the internet.

PC: Mine has a 68.0 GB hard drive
Mac: The Mac has a puny 6.44 GB hard drive

PC: The internet's fine, except for when the provider is having problems.
Mac: It really does slow down the internet. I've compared for the two computers and the Macs internet is MUCH slower.

PC: The only error that's ever happend on the PC was because of a website I was visiting.
Mac: Has multiple errors in a day.

PC: My PC has a DVD drive, CD drive and Floppy disk drive. It also has 6 USB ports.
Mac: My Mac has a CD drive. It also has 2 USB ports. One's already taken by the keyboard.

PC: A bit complicated to setup, but once it's up, it runs fine.
Mac: Easy to setup, but once it's setup, it's slow.

PC: When you make a paint file, it can be put into Jpg format, Gif format, Tiff format, PNG format and 4 different forms of Bitmap. Some of which can be put on the internet.
Mac: When you make a paint file, it can only be put in Apple Works format, which cannot be put on the internet.


I think that's about all I need to say.  

UNfair comparison, you are comapirng a 4 year old iMac to a new PC. That's infair, and in Apple Works you can change the format to a GIF or JPEG. Mac OS X is much faster anyway, if your computer can handle it. XP can be really slow too. Try running XP on a 900mhz PIII sometime.

Their are Thousands of virus on PCs, but only  about 50 or so for Macs. Here's a plus for the Mac: Eaiser to set-up. TO set up an iMac you just connect the keyboard, mouse, and speakkers, plug you modem in, plug the computer in, and start it up. And then you enter your name and email. Thats it! And Macs dominate the "creative feilds". Most magiznes are made on P.C.'s even P.C. Magiznes are. Alot of music  editing is done on the Mac, and video editing too.
As for Right click butten, you can simply buy a 2 butten mouse. I have one for my Mac, and it's nice. Even if you have a 1 boutten mouse you can still control click, and get the same funciton as a right click.

A G5 is faster then a Pentium 4 3.5, because a G5 is a 64bit processer and a Pentuim 4 is a 32bit processer. A Pentuim with 2.4GHZ would have a hard time beating an iMac. With 1.25GHZ. A 32bit processer has less a smaller data path.

but the g5 only goe's 2.0 ghz


Prob with my computer is that ive got the wrong ram i have pc2100 instead of pc3200 and when i get that finally I can overclock it to 3 gigs but right now 1.6gigs

The G5 with 2GHZ has 2 processesrs so 2+2=4. Besides the fastest 64bits are oly 2ghz. The G5 is faster then any pentium 4, with 3.5GHZ, Intel overclocks there computers so they seem faster, but their porcsesser is also less efecent.

With a G5 you can order a clear panel, slide off the stanard and put in the clear panel and you gat a clear veiw without having to make a hole in the case. ANd you can add lights and other stuff to it to if you want. ANd the 3rd fastest super compueter in the world was build out of G5s. :tongue:

PCs are WAY better. Mines only been up for like 1 month and I love it. The Mac has had at least 1 error, everyday for the past 2 weeks. Thursday I had to restart it 5 times in an hour because one program kept quiting itself and then it said I had to restart the computer. I pressed to restart and it froze. If I ever go to the Grand Canyon, I'm taking the Mac with me and throwing it over. That a good enough argument Rocko?

If you have a G3 and at least 16mb, of vram, update to Mac OS X.It never crash's, sure sometimes you have to force-quit a program. But that's only when it's run out of  memory, and viturl mermory. It's so stable, and don't worry about kornel panic's I have yet to have one.

PC: Dunno.

Mac: Our Mac has had every error known to man... and then some. One time it said: "This could not be opened because of an error (-3045) has occured."

Not any more, crash's never. My Mac has had only crahsed 5 times in 2 years. And unlike a PeeCee, they don't need safe mode after they crash, they go back to normal. ANd with Mac OS X, it never crash's. PeeCee's crash, and goto a blue screen of death, with this: 0957890-23450-89234759034278590123475890-47305897234890-5734289673458906790345867890346789257589342657823465789234569823476589234765890237465890234678905237489572389056789023569082346589034657ugh67589324326758923465983689576348925672890056923480568902347589406895675896597823465293805629306589034659236905826739058623894562348905623490856289056389056890236529034856892346589342659082465896234905862348956723890467538925690234865893425678923465978236490523890456238905689023659082346578923468905265490856498032689567892658923569824562893056234895624390625892346543892568902468923465986243095624905649238562934806598234659023456623458923465896234589623494567890345342567983624589634980563479056936824592346597824654293756324657234652783458579349658753456837246578256234875653428675467845367823456587265478234568975678356754678455766756234678565478657846378452658726578562385283465685672367856.  That's a peecee eorror code.

This therd is for the eternal Mac vs. PeeCee debate. Each platform fanboy will post their oppions on each system. It needs to me more then the Macs Suxx, or PeeCee's are for geeks. YOu need to back-up your opion.
