I was thinking of later on getting a mac just becuase i like they look sleak and clean to me, the OS is also verry nice IMO. So i was thinking of having a mac for Design stuff, and PC for my games. Maybe a laptop Mac?
im not to sure. But can anyone inform me on more information about macs
thank you

This is a very "religious" question.
My personal point of view:
- Macs are great for sound editing, and graphics, but you can also do the same stuff with a "better" PC.
- When it comes to 3D and videoediting I prefer a PC (dual or quad)
- I don't see a huge difference between MAC and PC for the "normal" usage
What I've noticed a lot in switzerland (where I live) is that most graphic design company and ad agencys are going away from mac's and switching to pc's. If it's a financial decision or not, I can't say.
I'm working in the video editing business and we just use High-powered PC's (Dell Workstations, dedicated AVID stations, SGI and so on)

The operating system is more stable and less frequently the target of security threats, so you have less to worry about there.
I use my PC for my graphics stuff, but it's just as good on the Mac too. I prefer the Mac for web browsing, spyware is virtually non-existent which is very nice.

In my opinion, I would just stick with a PC since you already have one. The programs you're going to use are the same, they don't differentiate for systems because that would certainly affect their market share.
I most certainly wont purchase a Mac any time soon. I'm staying with my Windows PC.

840 chipset, also known as Carmel was released on October 25th. This chipset is essentially an i820 for servers, and is intended to replace chipsets such as the 440GX. Like the i820, the i840 will have support for AGP 4X with AGP Pro 50, for high power consumption AGP cards, ATA-66, 64bit PCI (66Mhz), a 133Mhz Front side bus, and support for PC100 SDRAM along with PC600 and PC800 RDRAM (not PC700). In addition the i840 will contain Quad processor support, 64bit PCI, 8Gb memory support and Dual RDRAM (doubling bandwidth) and MRH-S (4 way Interleaving of SDRAM) support to increase memory bandwidth. See the Tips page for a comparison of Intel's chipsets. It should be noted that SDRAM support has since been dropped for the i840 due to problems with the MRH-S.

PC - Gaming all the way. Mac got nothing on this!
Mac - Basicly for everything...
Even though most people use PC, I would definatly use a mac. If windows had mac's look, then they could talk, but window's interface is nothing compared to what the apple has got. Wanna which OS macromedia and adobe makes programs first for? MAC! Thats right, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Flash and everything else was originally designed for mac, but eventually went over to the PC... So thats my little tangent, even though I own a PC...but I still say that macs are pretty darn good.
P.S. Macs now use Intel? how wierd is that?
