what makes mac tick?

[ph3412t3h13]

why is it that macs are so damn efficient?????????

my friend has a 2.4 ghz pc and my 1ghz mac out awesomes his pc by so much

does it have something do to with maybe the fact that mac makes all of its own stuff?

[GrandMaster]

wtf r u talking about? it redistributes resources differently because its not hte same os as win

how do you classify awsomness?

Perhaps, because the processor being a RISC and in the same time carries the Altivec feature. And also, maybe because of the Operating System's pre-emptive multitasking feature.

If by "outawesomes" you mean that your computer is prettier switching between windows than his then.... :rolleyes:

I'm not sure I would call Mac's that effecient either. Solid maybe these days but they are what they are. If your comparing clock for clock then you need to do some more reading up.

[ph3412t3h13]

clock?

i just mean taht it performs better!!!!!! oyvey!!!!!!

Macs dont make Macs. Apple makes Macs. :rofl:

[GrandMaster]

no it doesnt. run warcraft3 on a pc and a mac and see which one is faster

[ph3412t3h13]

WELL OBVIOUSLY!!!!!!!!!! PCS ARE MADE FOR GAMING!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh god never mind

[+virtorio MVC]

My experience with Apple computers is quite the opposite, and left me feeling that they are not better in performance nor "awesomes".

And what experience was that? A Macintosh SE?

I have a PC and my Wife was a powerbook.

The powerbook can't keep up gaming wise with my PC (I does do well though, for a laptop), but for everything else it is quite capable. I am a die-hard PC fan (i'm a gamer), but when my friends ask me what type of computer to get the first thing I ask is what they plan on doing with it. Unless gaming comes up, I reccomend the mac everytime now.

It is plenty fast, and I am not over there house every other day removing spyware/viruses.

yeah, we'll see which one outperforms the other in a HL2 stress test. ;)

or even 3dmark2k1, 2k3, and 2k5.

I doubt your Mac "out awesomes his pc by so much" unless he has a bad video card and less RAM. Mac lovers love Macs and PC lovers love PCs. Only some can admit that they like both. Also, try cutting back on the caffeine.

Was waiting for that :D

I have a 1ghz iBook G4 and it's really slow compared to my 2.5ghz P4, so I don't see where you're coming from. I'm not trying to diss Apple, their products are pretty nice and all, but their 1ghz G4's definately don't perform as amazingly as they want everyone to think.

ph3412t3h13 im sorry but your a f***ing idiot.....

(new powerbook comes in january!!!!!!)

The "megahertz myth" is true upto a certain extent, but you're just exaggerating it now. :rolleyes:

[randy_tho]

Well I have to say I've never used OS X but anything before that, hardware or software was utter trash. Maybe with the exception of a couple gens of powerbook.

I mean you couldn't hardly have more than two or three windows open without taking forever to move them one by one out of the way. I've seen way too many iMacs that won't even boot for apparently no reason.

I think they have started moving in the right direction with their OS and the hardware is seemingly getting better. But they have a ways to go in Quality Control with some things.

I just don't get why people think they are some kind of elite brand or something. Apple stuff is incredibly overhyped. Of course thats how Jobbs brought them back. Most people believe what they're told.

Someday we'll have people mature enough to handle conversations such as this. That day is not today
