anti-virus on MAC

[devilsmile]

God you're stupid.  Mac doesn't make their own hardware, they buy the components from companies like foxconn.  Does that name ring a bell?  Also mac uses intel cpus and nvidia gpus just like a lot of pcs do.

yeah but allways 3-5 years behind performance compared to PC chipsets

Like Devilsmile hinted at, you people do realise the only thing that seperates a Mac from a PC is the Operating System right?You do also know that now you can buy a regular Windows pc and dual boot it with Windows and OSX?And this way youll pay a 3rd of the price of a full priced "Mac"?Google Hackintosh for those interested, if you want to custom build it makes sure you use an i7 and check up which graphics cards are supported so far.Also an up to date Windows 7 PC shits all over a Mac software wise, sorry Stunt but I could breakdown pretty much every category of type of app and Apple would be mising one of the top 2-3 apps in each field whereas Windows would have them all.

MACINTOSH is a fancy looking nice car but you can only drive it in somewhere and even then you need clerance... PC is equally nice looking car with turbo jet motor and you can drive it everywhere anytime.

yeah mac users think PC's still live in the year 2002

PC's are the way to go. MAC Operating system isn't anything fancy anymore, and since you can buy your PC component by component, pc is the best thing for now. Quality/Price in PC markets has gone through the sky for the past few years. You rly can't buy a bad pc anymore...

In gaming I remember when I was younger you were lucky to play your faverut games with high settings. Now days you use VERY high settings in addition to maximum antistrophic filter and antialiasing and DX10-DX11 volymetric effex with 40-60 frames and it's NORMAL!

MAC can't do shit like that, it never can. games allways are shit in mac, there is no games for mac. And every game mac has is the performance of a pc from the year 2005 prety much...

And it's not just gaming, editing, 3d design, music, movies... everyhing that mac has pc has them aswell. PC people are just a little smarter when it comes to not fucking up with the whole system.

I still got my 4core 3ghz/4mb    ... 4Gb Ram..... gtx480 (pre overclocked)....

I have older mobo from 2006, nVidia 590i so i can't update my processor to a more sufficient models, i can still throw the memory to 8gb's (800mhz)... But I can update my 3dcard aslong as it uses PCi 2.0 and it has stayed the same in all motherboards since forever. But the processor is quite fast non the less for the type...

To change the processor I would have to buy newer motherboard. That will do for now, 3dcard is the number one factory in gaming anyway, haven't experienced any bottlenecks yet (motherboard too slow for 3dcard)... even though the motherboard is 2006 years and the 3dcard 2010 my pc playes crysis and dead space etc with no effort.

No, macs are Dartz combat t98s. You pay $$$ for them, they can go anywhere and they are rocket proof.   And sone parts are $$$ to repair.

Sounds solid, did you go amd or intel for the cpu?  It's about time for me to upgrade, I'm still rocking the 3.2 quad, gtx 260 8gb of ram.

The real high end i7s yeah, the six core amd cpus are a notch below, but still great cpus and cost less yuan half the price.
