KoL=>hope it's gonna change cause it's really better to make graphics with a mac. I got a PC too at work, I really see the "texture quality" difference when I use photoshop in both.

Who cares about x86 users? ;) Even Microsoft is using PowerPC for it's next Xbox. Face it, x86 probably going to die.

I'm not really up to date on my definitions of "x86" but from what I know it's the old nickname Intel's chips had before they branded them Pentium. But are you trying to say that Intel is dying off altogether? :huh:

x86 or Intel 80x86 is the generic name of a microprocessor architecture first developed and manufactured by Intel.

The architecture is called x86 because Intel used to give the earliest processors in this family numeric brand names ending in the sequence "86", the 8086, the 80186, the 80286, the 386, and the 486. Because one cannot trademark numbers, Intel and most of its competitors stopped using numeric brand names after the 486, and started using proper word brand names, such as Pentium, but the earlier brand naming scheme stuck on to become the name of the entire family. Intel now refers to x86 as IA-32, an abbreviation for Intel Architecture, 32-bit.

:D
