Right now I have just about everything major running (minus games) and still not a single dent in performance. I can switch songs in iTunes without any hesitation, I can switch from one space to the next, open new windows in firefox...anything without delay.

Here are my iMac specs






Everything came to $2200, with 3 year warranty, dotMac subscription, and tax. Honestly, I'd love to see someone build a PC with these specs, with a 1920x1200 24" monitor, that runs this quiet, runs this cold, and is as compact.

 

Okay, enough PC bashing for tonight, I have to pack and get ready for this weekend. Redline Time Attack @ Summit Point :D. I'll have a bajillion pictures on Monday to put up.

 

lol ok my hp 17" laptop
3g ram
320 hd
2 T7300 2,0 processors

not a bad set up

 

Hmmmmmm... Sounds like a pretty decent setup, Scott. Sounds more expensive than my under $1000 laptop, though.

 

LOL yeah $1900 when I got it last year...Hp entertainment model with remote control etc...

 

I still really haven't figured out any good use for the remote that came
with mine. Since it is wirelessly linked to just about everything else in
the apartment, and can even send video/audio to the big TV across the
room, the laptop is right there in front of me to control, no remote
needed.

I've used the remote just to see how well it does, but other than that it
just lives in my laptop carrier with the assorted cables and such.

I did used to use a remote with my eMac, but that was a different story
entirely - I don't consider a 60 pound machine to be portable even if it
DOES have a handle... :D

 

I got the logitech harmony remote for xbox...that thing is SWEET!

 

Phil what's your XBL Gamertag?

macs are nice, but im looking for a windows xp laptop with serial port (DB9), any recommendations?

the only thing that sucks about my macs is that it cant tune my hydra! well it did using windows format but the windows just crashed and ended up losing all my maps : (

 

I say find a db9 to usb converter.

i would def run a mac if all my programs weren't windows proprietary. damn engineering

 

I would run a mac if I could purchase all the parts for under $500 a build it from scratch...

 

i may have issues witht the mac keyboard too coz it doesnt let me edit some values while online.. im using a usb to serial adapter from best buy that works fine, hydra recommends/approves that card to serial converter but my macbooks doesnt have that card slots.. so im better off getting a completely compatible laptop so i can move on and worry on the important things lol

 

then just get a cheap dell vostro, a toshiba or a lonovo (IBM) thinkpad...

 

^^ i'll look into that, maybe I will just buy some old dell computers in ebay.. found some or like 75 bucks

 

it's called a hackintosh

 

I'm planning on going to the track this friday...tomorrow I'm picking up a brand new set of stock rims and tires...for free! So I'll have like, what, 4 full sets? maybe I'll get some traction this time...

 

jen's?

 

im buying a new computer im getting a asus eee 900 for work so i cant mess around and get paid for it lol
