just wanted to compare…
Mac Pro – $2499
2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon 3500
nVidia GeForce GT 120 with 512 MB of GDDR3 SDRAM
3GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC DIMM (3x1GB)
18x SuperDrive with double-layer support (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
640GB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s
OSX 10.6
vs
Dell Precision T3500 – $1715
Quad Core Intel® Xeon® W3520 2.66GHz
512MB NVIDIA® Quadro® FX 580, DUAL MON, 2 DP & 1 DVI
3GB, 1066MHz,DDR3 SDRAM, ECC (3 DIMMS)
16X DVD+/-RW
750GB SATA 3Gb/s with NCQ and 16MB DataBurst Cache™
Vista Business
So… we have 2 essentially identical computers here (the fx 580 is the quadro equivalent of the gt 120; sorry I couldnt get the drives to match exactly but they are pretty darn close)… and you pay an extra almost $800 for the mac… sounds like a great deal to me… Oh and lets not forget the dell comes with a 3 year warranty while the mac has a 1 year.
Choose whatever one you want but im not gonna pay an extra $784 to get a better looking case and osx (because let’s be honest, I would have to put windows on it anyways…)
Not to mention OSX is crap. There aren’t any stability problems that Windows has and OSX doesn’t. Someones been devouring all the brainwashing propaganda from those stupid (and lying) “I’m a Mac and I’m a PC” commercials.

Just because you’ve had problems with macs doesn’t mean they aren’t as good. I happen to think they’re better, they work for ME.

The real litmus test for this is whether or not you believe Macs have superior hardware or that Windows runs better on a Mac. If you believe either then there’s no saving you from Macfag retardation.

It’s been PROVEN various times that Windows DOES run better on Apple hardware. There is actually a logical reasoning for it too! Apple is better at making/verifying drivers than your every day hardware manufacturer. MasterP, you are WRONG on this arguement, deal!

Apple is better at making drivers for an Nvidia card than Nvidia is?
You sir, are an idiot.
Have you even looked at the Boot Camp driver folder on the OSX DVD? They’re the same drivers PCs use.
Oh dear, MasterP is in denial. Even Bill freakin Gates uses a macbook pro to run windows vista.
You’re wrong, simply deal with the fact that I have the experience you don’t have with macs.
