I've got an iMac G4, and I couldn't be happier with it, even though it's like 4 or so years old.
I won't get into the Mac vs PC debate again like I did in another thread; it got a little heated!

anyway, im not turning this into a debate.

Well I have to say I'm VERY proud to be at this exclusive table! 8)

You know not of what you speak about AMD

First of all, the graphics are (mostly) dependent upon the graphics card, not the CPU, so Intel vs AMD doesn't really matter when discussing graphics.
Second, AMD just bought ATI, the world's leading graphics card manufacturer, so.... uh.... yeah....
Third, AMD CPU's get more done per clock cycle than Intel's. In short, they're more efficient. A 2.4GHz AMD chip is equivlant to a 3.8GHz Intel chip.

Having said that, the market bounces back and fourth - right now, an Intel chip is a bit cheaper than it's equivalent AMD chip, but the tables turn every few months. The truth is, both manufacturers have excellent products depending on the intended application. You should favor whichever manufacturer is putting out a faster chip for the money at the moment. 6 months ago that was AMD, right now it's Intel (with their Core Duo series), I predict when AMD releases their next stepping, the ball will be back in their court.

This Intel vs AMD rant brought to you by your friendly forum computer guru,
Pete Zaria.

Zaria, I meant the graphics on the packages. LOL, see I really dont know why i dont like them

Oh well. Looks like I wasted 5 minutes of my life (while waiting for a server to finish backing up....).

Peace,
Pete Zaria.

Isn't she beautiful






Unfourtonatly this is not my PC
I have an HP laptop with AMD 3500+ and a Ati graphis card (256mb)-so...yeah

I think that's tacky, but that's just me.
