MIght as Well Start a War

Mac or PC and why?

[dpick]

Hi I don't know about everyone else but I have never used a MAC simply due to the price when I started using my PC (my pc was subsidised by work then) now just an old dog and don't want to learn new tricks.

 

By the way when I got my first computer it was a 286 and retail price was about £1000

Have used a Mac but still prefer PC.

Recently build my own PC, Specs as:

 

Good Tower Case

AMD X6 3.30GHZ

8GB Ram

2TB H/D

1x BD Writer/ 1 x DVD Writer

Radeon 6870

Only spent £400 in total, Some parts were brought over from last system.

Brilliant system, runs 3 x 1080p monitors no problem, gaming is good too across 3 monitors.

 

For the price of parts now you can build a dual core / triple core system for less than £250.00

@dprive: wins at the price tag! There are benefits at the high price tag thanks to the VERy cheap software Mac offers compared to Microsofts licensing tag

I gotta admit! AMD are nice! It would be awesome if AMD got involved with Apple! The last pro system I built was an older x2 spec, but still, one of the ones I loved Only thing I didnt like was fiddling around inside it all the time

have also a built amd cpu system, not top spec though, but good for general use with odd gaming, £200. essential software free (eg openoffice, antivirus, o/s, etc). would like to try a mac, but too expensive. why a 'war'?

Blondes or brunettes? Milfs or teens? And why?

Mac users tend to be passionate. As long as it does the job im fine.

As I said I haven't always been a mac user I've still got the guts of my Core-i7 PC kicking about in the cupboard. I guess I might turn that into a HTPC / Gaming rig and bung it in the TV cabinet. What's annoying is that Sky PLayer no longer works witj Windows Media Edition :-/ It would have been nice if I could ditch my dvd player, sky box and just have the one, but ah well, can't have it all

when i first saw the thread title i thought it was in reference to all the rhetoric re n korea, iran, syria, etc! but, alas, it is re which comp to use
