That's the way. :)

A bone head friend of mine just asked me "What Mac should I buy" so I figured i would post my quick comparison here too because he thinks he NEEDS a mac...I get pretty heated in the wrong way when someone says they want a Mac and I guess I read your posts a bit wrong but wanted to post what I sent him at the same time.

Part of the point was, yes that cpu is rediculously overpriced, but if you were goin to buy a Mac with a rediculous price tag, for the same price you can actually get your moneys worth in a PC.

Mac lovers at work don't like me very much cause whenever they call me
they say 'Im having a problem with xxxxxxxxxxx"
I say "You are still using that Mac right?"
They say "Yes"
I say "Well I'm not surprised"
Then i get down with the problem and try to help them...unfortunately not all of them sense the sarcasm nor realize I am partly joking and realy don't care they are on a Mac, I just like to tease them every chance I get. :P
Kinda like calling a brother/sister fat/skinny/dumb/nerdy/a looser/etc...there's realy not MUCH they can do about it, but still you say it out of fun and love.

Ah, ok. I see what you're trying to say back then.

I originally thought your were trash-talking Macs, but at the same time saying people should buy Q9775s... (which doesn't make too much sense). Sorry for the mis-understanding.

EDIT: poo poo, I did a price check, and the Q9775 is 1.5x more expensive than the Core i7 965 extreme. WTF?!?, that's retarded. The 965 is straight faster than the Q9775, full stop. Same clock speed, better architecture. Making the Q9775 THE most ripoff CPU currently in the market.

lol i havent had any real mager problems with my Mac's

Nore have i had any problems with my windows pc's
I simpley use a mac for my graphic artwork
Because for me i find it a slight bit easier to multitask with multiple windows and touch pad geusters like 2 pinch/puch to make an image bigger and to swivel around

But if i had to go back to a normal pc

i would have no problems
im not a mac fan girl what so ever >.<

I do like there design but i hate the way they make things
that is why my computer looks like this
