Dual processor?

G5 is the best!
PC sucks!

the fastest & the most powerful cpu (aka THE BESt) that is sold to the public is AMD Athlon™ 64 FX-51

Does any of you PC experts at all know what a Mac G5 or for that matter a G4 is? If you haven't worked on the meanest, fastes and most powerful "home" computer or for that matter a Mac in general then you're in no position to know what a Mac is!
I have worked on many of the fastest, most powerful and most expensive PC's around and they do NOT compare to Mac's now extreme stability (thanx to the OSX system based on Unix), power and not to forget unique design and trust me. It's only industry PC's that can be compared to the new G5 (64mhz processors from IBM - compared to 32mhz intel processors)... The case is that most Mac users come from the PC world and know both worlds very well (that's why they bought a Mac and not a Windoze PC).. How many PC users can say the same? If i was you I would for sure check out a Mac before you decide to buy! After all Mac is build to work in the Audio/Video and graphic Design industry.... Not many PC's even at the same price level are build for that!

Not that I condone this obscene behaviour at all, but if you want to share your music software with your friends on the interweb, and get all the latest plugzin, then a PC has this big advantage over a mac.....
I'd really love to try a G5 on the other hand..... and osx looks so goood.... microsoft will catch up with the osx UI only in _2005_ when Longhorn comes out.... |

All I have to say nectarious is... try a G5 and you'll never go back to Windoze again for music production 
Even the worse PC geeks (check different foras and PC online mag's) had to surrender to the new G5 and finally admit that Apple are way ahead of the PC market at current time. Just take the example about the Longhorn... what a joke! At that time we will properly see a OSX (if that's the name at that time) with virtual desktops where as Windows will come out with something similar to todays OSX....That alone would be enough for me to switch to Mac...
One thing is for sure... It much more common that a PC running XP will crash than a Mac running OSX will crash... why? Simply because OSX is build to NOT crash... Only the program will crash if something goes wrong - NOT the system itself - it will continue to run and you can start up the program again without having to reboot! That's not the case with Xp.... It's simply not build that way!
I am not trying to convince anyone that they shoudl by a Mac but I do think they should try on out before they decide.... PC's might be more common but is not nessesarily the best choice! And if you want to get rid of all the viruses... then there's only one way MAC!!!

hmm i feel tempted to quote the first line of my previous post but i´ll refrain from that. instead i would like to say that yes: mac´s are yummy as hell. i like osx very much and apple really is a company focused on taking a lot of worries away from the user in terms of hard/soft tweakability. pc´s on the other hand can be totaly customised to any kind of project if the $$$ are available. allow me to give an example of high end pc´s:http://www.go-l.com/news/product_news/index.htm
i will in some distant future shift to mac when i get tired of tinkering with pc´s and just want something i can depend on, but i for one kinda like the tinkering bit about pc´s and the fact that in order to make it work properly you gotta know a bit about the inside workings of a system. this i feel i don´t have to with macs and has become one of the main selling points for me right now.
one obvious obstacle is the price of those beasts and the fact that firewire seems to be having some serious issues right now. well macaddicts a good thing steve added usb2 aswell then.
oh yeah and elysium: if you wanna get rid of vira you get a virus killer

monno you know as well as I that the virus problem still remain even with the best virus protection software.. some viruses are simply too good created and when a new virus hit the PC world the virus protection software dont know it yet.... I know several people that use top protection software and still get infected via their e-mail's or over the internet !!!! That almost never happen on a Mac. Heck I don't even have virus protection installed on my Mac and I am online 24/7 and have never had a virus!
Don't forget I have worked with PC's for a very long time too. And there's a huge difference here. Yes Mac's are indeed more "friendly" but why bother have to struggle with 3rd part components and look for updates and configure this and that for weeks to get your PC to just work ok when you can get a Mac and all will work from day one? Most people are not like you that enjoy the fiddeling with your computers... They just want it to work without all the problems.
And to the second issue about firewire... It's solved mate The problem was that the new Panther OSX 10.2 erased the data in some external firewire drives from a few certain manufactures... it's now solved with a update to OSX 10.3.... end of story |

I worked on Mac for some time and must say that it's a crap, if you really believe that it's better in any way than AMD based PC with WinXP and original software than you probably hallucinating and or get money from Apple.
But that's MY humble opinion.
They only problem with my AMD is the temperature but it can be solved with a good fan.
And anyways the computer that you know the best and feel that you can operate in the easisest way is the best choice to go for.

Crap? LOL
Have you worked with OSX at all? I am sure you only worked with OS 9 or earlier..... If you had you wouldn't say it's crap... typical comment from a person that don't knwo what OSX is ...
And it's not what I believe.... it's what the experts say... They say that AMD or any other Windoze is way behind Mac these days after the launch of OSX 10.3 and the G5.

Mostly 9 but i witnessed OSX crash, which he never recovered. The only thing that this computer had is Pro Tools Digi01 i think and original SX and it crashed like i've never seen anything crashing before.
