There's enough power in the iMac for whatever you need to do, well you are a computer geek (if you don't mind me saying) so God knows how much power you need. :rolleyes:

Fact is, a Tuned up VW Golf will never be better than a Ferrari even if it does go faster. ;)

Tuned up golf = PC
Ferrari = iMac

(if you didn't have the sense to figure that out)

But hang on a minute, why am I arguing about computers when it is a £2,000 iMac and typically a £200 computer with some £30 W7 upgrade? Not on the same level. :S

I suggest you leave the forums, you clearly have no clue ;)

An Apple Mac is not a Ferrari or a Porche, using cars as as example is stupid, because if an Apple Mac is a Ferrari, then you've basically admitted they cost far too much for what they are, are incredibly unreliable and cost alot to run ;)

Quit while you're ahead m'dear, you're making the Mac folk look silly ;_

Mac's look great and I liked them a lot when I used them. I was so close to getting one, but the price tag was daunting... then Windows 7 came out and I'm so happy with it, I've decided to not get a Mac now. :)

You mean those £2000 27" iMacs with Core i7's that are currently struggling to play even SD Flash video? Well done dumb ass :eusa_clap

:O OH MY GOD 1TB OF MEMORY? JESUS CHRIST IM ONLY ON 4GB, WHERE CAN I BUY THIS GODLY RAM?

I can make that iMac easily cripple under it's own weight, load, wait for it... WINDOWS on it so I can actually run a decent program and then let me load up MS Flight Simulator X, load up the PMDG 747X with Real Environment Xtreme and London Heathrow 2008, crank the settings up and hey ho! That Mac no longer has enough power.

So yeah, as Gomme said, quit while your ahead and get your head out of your crack.

Speaking of games, Macs can't play The Sims 3 very well, and to make videos you need to actually install drivers or codecs (something like that) to use the video functionality. Another thing, there's no evidence anywhere that The Sims 3 Create-a-World is Mac compatible :P

I'm so bored I'm going to go see what £2,000 can get you in PC terms :P

(hasn't been rolling around Sim related forums :P)

If I had actually looked properly I could have done far far better than that.

I've heard Windows performs best on a Mac. On this Macbook, Windows 7 is installed and the same on my desktop, which is about 3 months old and is so much slower. Maybe people should actually go buy a Mac and try it? Your opinions will change dramatically.

I own a MacBook and a Windows desktop therefor my opinion still stands.

What do you plan on doing with all that?*Removed*² When you can go out and buy a Mac for the same price with more power than you will likely ever need then that would be the obvious choice. I don't think people buy Mac's for their power, if your looking for power then look somewhere else. If your the average guy with a fair bit of cash who's not planning on trying to run the world on their computer then a Mac is ideal. *Removed*², that's fine - nothing to be ashamed of but please stop trying to convince me that Mac's are crap. They are just for wealthy people who need a high enough performance computer that is nice to look at and use. Apple products aren't for poor people, they are a personal choice for the rich. You wouldn't understand though, *Removed*¹.

I know I'm mentioning money a lot here but for god sake, Apples are the Rolexes of computers, other watches do the same as Rolexes but they aren't and never will be Rolexes. Don't you see my point!? I wish I didn't have to use cars and watches as examples but *Removed*².

I would close this thread now if I could (cautioned), I'm not arguing about something like this. I feel as if I have stopped at the lights in my Lambo and some boy racers in a renault clio are going "yh m8 my car is better than urs". I'd just ignore them, not on the same level. Thats like my 10th example using cars but hehe I like cars. :D

If I can't close the thread then I won't be replying to any of your replies. Please don't waste your time posting, waste your time checking this out. It's my message to you.

I'd find Apple products are more of an investment for 2nd class citizens like you and I. However, people of an upper class, say Donald Trump for example can just buy them without making any dent in their bank account. And probably everyone on this forum are 2nd class citizens, meaning they'd probably have to invest to buy an Apple Mac, it's nothing to do with wealth really. (That probably doesn't make sense but meh)

Urm no we didn't? We owned you if anything you snotty nosed 6 year old.

What could we do with all that power? Heres a short list.
- Contribute to solving diseases with Folding@Home
- Run a **** load of Virtual Machines as servers or something else
- Do work if we work in the field of engineering using CAD
- Run Crysis and games like Flight Simulator X (The "odd" game by your standards), which need a lot of power
- Just as a **** speedy OS with a lot of potential
- For graphics rendering
- For movie rendering
- For audio editing
- For movie editing
- For Folding@Home on the GPU client
That is an extremely short list, have a good day ass hat.

If Macs did what I wanted I would have got one, I had £800 to spend on a computer, could have got 2x MacMinis, a MacBook or possibly a low end iMac so I could afford one, did I want one? Yes I did, that is why I got a MacBook, but before that I had other priorities like large amounts of storage space, the ability to stream media around the house for free, the ability to play a decent game, the ability to simulate networks in virtual machines.

I would certainly class my self as a geek, I'm "sad" enough to do it to earn money, I know I have an awesome group of friends, therefore your statement is untrue, you know nothing about me, I know nothing about you, although if I do know anything about you, it's that your not the brightest spark in the fire.

I refer you to this video; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZi8CceG2JI It refers to games, but the principle is the same.

I'm off to triple boot OS X, Windows and Linux on my MacBook, good day.
