#Buy boot camp for mac upgrade#
Like a lot of people, I have this cycle with desktops where I upgrade a few things like video card, ram, fans until my next cpu change.
I like those cute little laptop HD but still prefer my ‘scuzzy’ one.Īs someone who has build almost every desktop I have owned since my dad gave me his old 286 to take apart, I can not get past the closed nature of Mac’s and the lack of hardware. I do find that a lot of so called geeks are clueless or cannot fathom any other possibilities, beyond their own little lives which is why you get so many “Why would anyone need to dual boot Win/OSx?” even from media types.įor Adrian: how many days do you leave your laptop run? I know tons of people who leave their machines run non-stop especially with bit torrent.

UPDATE #2: Here’s some benchmark data from CNet: “There’s no question: You’re going to have a noticeably better gaming experience on a Mac running Windows XP than Mac OS X.”Ī friend just IM me this blog and said “Hey, I just bought the same video card as the Mac in the article! How is the inside of the Mac different from any other computer now, I mean its Intel, Nvidia, ram and a hard drive…!” I’d imagine the difference would be smaller if we compared an iMac to a similar Windows desktop plus monitor, but that’s not on the table for me. While Boot Camp is exciting news, and I think it’ll be great move for Apple, that price difference is too huge to stomach. Regardless, I’m willing to accept that the Mac is going to be somewhat faster than the PC.īut is ‘somewhat faster’ worth $1100? Heck, I could nearly buy two Windows PCs for the price of the G5. Here are a couple of independent tests which have different findings. ASUS N6600 GEFORCE 6600 AGP8X, 128MB DDRĪpple’s performance data indicates that the G5 will outclass this machine by a significant margin (25 or 30%?).GENWARE 18 IN 917K 4/2 ATX w/ 400W P4 P.S 1 (this is the case).

SAMSUNG 160GB 7200RPM 9MS SATA 8MB CACHE SERIAL ATA.PER CORE 800MHZ BOX (the fastest processor Frontier offers) INTEL P4 DUAL-CORE S775 PENTIUM D 830 3.0GHZ, 800FSB, 2MB: 1MB CACHE.NVIDIA GeForce 6600 LE with 128MB GDDR SDRAM.That’s where I bought my last PC (apologies for the all caps–they’re from Frontier’s site). I’m configuring and pricing out the Windows system using Frontier PC’s site. Should I consider getting a Mac instead of another Windows machine? One important note: I’m currently using a (gorgeous) 23″ Apple Cinema display, so I’m unlikely to buy an iMac (I don’t want or need dissimilar dual displays). I just read this early review that graphically-intensive games like Doom 3 or Far Cry run smoothly under Boot Camp. I use my desktop PC for everything, from games to Office apps to audio and (very occasionally) video editing. Though I see the security and stability advantages of Apple OS X over Windows XP, I’m pretty much platform-agnostic. I’ve currently got a Windows desktop and an Apple laptop. Boot Camp will become part of Leopard, the next version of Apple’s operating system. Coincidentally, yesterday Apple announced Boot Camp, a beta application that enables you to easily run Windows and Windows programs on an Apple computer. Another Windows machine it is.Īs I mentioned last week, I’ll soon be in the market for a desktop machine. So, unless I want a MacMini (which I don’t), there are currently no options for a Boot Camp-enabled Mac without a built-in monitor. Only Intel-based Macs are able to run Boot Camp.
There will are currently no Intel-based G5s PowerMac desktops available.
UPDATE: Whoops, as the comments indicate, I clearly made an error.
