pod Posted December 23 Report Share Posted December 23 Bling, it doesn't mean it's for shit. My current PC is 2 years old, and it runs circles around most store-bought tripe today...it's all about upgrades and maintenance...of course, I'm on a 2 year cycle in terms of buying a totally new system, so 2004 will bring a new beast. I'm eyeing an Opteron-based solution right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pod Posted December 24 Report Share Posted December 24 See, that's the common misconception. Those movies and sounds are all data, zeroes and ones...nothing makes them special at the binary level. It's how that data is handled. For awhile, the RISC instruction set in a PowerPC chip excelled at this...less instructions, less things to do, faster execution of machine language...The Opteron and Athlon64 architectures operate on a similar principle, but with 3 HT pipelines, better branch predicting (literally seeing the future...), addressability of 256 TB of RAM, and an integrated memory controller (meaning there's no slower pipe between CPU and the DIMM banks), mean a faster system overall..not to mention backwards compatibility at no performance cost to the 64-bit environment...Macs got ingrained in the "art world" due to their early ease of use and so forth..most art types just "want it to work" and not worry about the insides...now, would you think the same about your car? A computer, like a car, needs care and maintenance, and the occasional repair...and if you're clueless, you're gonna get ripped off. Example, my graphics card failed earlier this year...$70 bucks later, I've got a damned nice ATi board with dual DB-15 and 1 DVI output...I can have three monitors off of one controller if I feel like it. Your average Mac user'd call up Apple, and get jacked for $200 or so...but anyway, I'm digressing...The Mac got ingrained in the art world, and became the "standard" ... even when better platforms come along, the "standard" hangs on...a lot of people I know doing amazing things in music and video are PC folk, and like me, prefer to build their own, rather than letting the stoners in California decide what a system should have. And the dirty secret of course, is that Apple's G5 systems, which are great boxen btw, have processors and components designed by ATi, Western Digital, IBM/Motorola (the G5 processor design team), 3com, Pioneer, Sony, and ASUS...all respected PC component makers...Apple is little more than a Gateway/Dell choosing to run an operating system other than Windows...which brings me to my next point...I can run god-knows-how-many OSes on a PC, and I'm limited to very few on a Mac, with only one working fully, the rest are very unstable, since Apple feels the need to run a closed architecture.Don't get me wrong, Apples are decent machines...it's like having a BMW, it's nice, your friends will oo and ahh, but you better show some respect when a Ferarri or a totally custom Shelby job pulls up next to you.For some examples, check outwww.falcon-nw.comwww.go-l.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
