Im running a W7 machine at home right now.
W7 32b, 120G hd, 2G ram, AMD 3200+ procc, ATI Radeon 6400 etc.
Built that beast in 2005 for Windows Vista before it was out...
it has held up this entire time and never taken a dump on me.
The innards of that machine started out with Windows ME and an AMD 1300.
I have little Mac experience(school/friends/work) but i know enough to know that in any given timeline, PC's will have more connectivity and compatability issues across the board then a Mac will.
A lot of my experience also comes from working within Linux. I have had it setup to dual boot for a few years(running Ubuntu distros from 6.04-10.04)
Those OS are just written better. There is a reason why operating rooms across the country use Linux to power medical equipment....it runs turned on for 365 days a year with very little downtime and 0 maintenance...
You know unless a Windows machine is configured perfectly it still is more of a chance of crashing then a linux/mac setup.
In any case, no big deal. I see you can add to the conversation intelligently....you came off really arrogant at first.
I was planning on upgrading my PC until my wife bought her Macbook. 4 years later with 0 problems im sold on Macs.
And im not 100% on a RAID array but you can definitely upgrade the monitor size for a Mac(obv not the iMac).
Heck, just pickup a Mini and run it through any 55" LED HDTV...im sure it would be worthwhile in some sense.
For me i just want to be able to process my photo/HD video in good time with ease of mind and not have to worry about adaware and bs...
with a Mac im good.
Yes, i could build a pc to do what the mac does and since i know my way around a PC keep it virus free and running but my wife is part of the equation and since she wants a mac and im ready to invest in a solid machine id say im ready to make the jump.
Never said you couldn't build an equal machine to the mac for less!
