how can you really compare a mac to a pc?

The only way to really compare a Mac to a another PC is by comparing their respective designs. Most Dells and HPs/Compaqs must have been designed by blind mice. They look awful!

Because everyone knows performanc is directly related to design. Hell, I added a window and neon lights to my PC. Got twice as many frames in Half Life.

In all fairness Fett, it is alot nicer to work on a nice looking comp. And I can vouch that Mac's look nice Alos, they are well put together, they never fall apart.
But I think the real determining factor is OSX. I just installed Panther, it's incredible!
billy_gates:
PC's are generally faster (for the same price) as macs. Macs are like a Mercedes Benz and PC's are like Fords or Chevys.
That is the only way I can justify spending so much on a computer (that and running OSX)
TheKnifeThrower:
Macs may be good but if I had a choice I would go with a PC. Macs have come a long way from those retarded one button mouse machines but the majority of software only works for the PC.
Because It looks good doesn't jutify buying one because you can mod your PC case.

*cough* *cough* Bullshit.
Comeone now, that's a load of crap. To get a good package like you get with a G5 set up, that is a well built machine, with fast, top-of the line processors, a state of the art OS, state of the art applications, your gonna shell out as much or more than a G5.
Generally faster? I have yet to see a conclusive benchmark, and all the ones that show the G5 slower, make it only marginaly so. So don't give me that crap.
I use a PC everyday, I have an Athalon XP 2100+ , It ain't as fast as my dual 800Mhz G4, Sorry, it just isn't. And as for the "amount of software" available, I have yet to find something (save for some games) that I can't do on my mac.
PC's are generaly a hedache, Macs allways work. Spare me the BS.
