    I thought most games were made for both.

    Lol heck no...
    Macs just aren't gaming computers. Theyre ok for like school etc and general purpose and are safer for businesses but going mac for gaming is a big no-no.

    no, Defuzion..

    extend the meaning of most...

    Sure WC3 is made for both Mac and Windows, but the big MS games are not..

    First if you want a laptop buy a mac. And if you want a desktop build your own. If you don't want to build then buy a aw :P

    For 5 grand, you could.

    dual 7900gts or gtx for quad :blink:
    amd ftw fx-60
    2-4 sticks of 1 gig ram
    2 x 74GB Raptors in raid
    2 x 300GB In raid
    G7 Pro mouse.
    Eclipse keyboard
    And 1 or 2 19in screens, I got one of my lcds for 140.
    Then either water cool it, or phase change it if you have the cash left over.

    For what you want a PC is your best bet.

    When i get a new computer i will dual boot linux on this one, maybe full switch if i like it, but i will wait for it to be come more finished and stable before i jump in.
    Arn't most of the advantages of macs in there hardware?
    I would never dual boot OSX.

    no, their hardware is just different, not any better than PC's.

    their OS is better than XP, because it flows better...

    CPU handles graphics better than PC and there OS is not bad, looks nice though.

    On newegg ... I found all of this for under $5000 ... monitor, keyboard ... everything ... took me a while ... seems like it would be the best thing ever. What does like Defuzion or Xelink think of this (is everything compatable and such)?

    wait 24 hours... get the FX62 and on socket AM2...

    don't f with the raptor x unless you really need the window it's pointless performance is identical to that of the standard WD1500. IMO it might even be better just to get 2-4 deskstars and to raid them...


    one hell of a beast though, still, there is little justification fo that kind fo excessive power when a single 7900GT or x1800XT will playanything on max, same goes for an FX, an opteron 165 or 170 will yeild more or less the same OC... and even if it doesn't quite, it would be foolish to go for it, unless you have a career which greatly depends on tremendous efficiency(in which case a mid-highend workstation would be better suited for the task)

    great desktop on the whole in terms of power though.

    fvck building a laptop...

    and for the record, it's typically cheaper and better to build a good gaming PC and get a decent laptop than it is to get an extreme laptop
