1. apple = ban

PS doesn't work on a mac, so, like fragmatic said, You'd need virtual pc or another similar program.

PS may not run on it, but a G5 would be sweet. GET IT.

HOLY SHIT! Rbstr suggesting an AMD, and not an Intel?!

::Checks Rob's forehead for a fever::

Are you ok? :p

Ok fine. 2 can play that game!

You could go for one of the new Intel Prescott chips, I hear they are pretty damn good!
:D

Oh, and as for Apple... don't get me started. If you want to do graphics processing and the like, by all means get one. But if you are a gamer, I suggest you steer AWAY.

I like the G5, buti probally wont get one because, like everybody says, pc are for gaming and macs are for all the rest. but the G5's are sweet, they can run UT04' at 80fps with like 15 videos and 10 background programs...

Thats the thing tho. Sure Macs are great at running a million video or graphic applications. But when would you be doing that other than to edit movies or create 3d renders and the like?

I don't typically play PlanetSide with 10 videos running in the background...
