I swear, computer people have to be the bitchiest, most pathetic people on the entire planet.

I hate RealPlayer because it sucks. I could care less what it installs in the background. I've never seen an RM with anywhere near decent video or sound quality and the program is just visually UGLY. :)

Real DOES suck Shidoshi. Crappy quality, buggy design and playback, plus all other flaws it has.

Can we keep this on topic, start a thread in fight club if you need to compare dick sizes.

And I'll spend my money on what I choose. Using a computer with any less than two displays is completly unacceptable.

Yes you can buy what you want, and yes you did make a bitching ass coment.

Test me again and ill pm spam you on AIM. :lol:










I want a Mac.

So I decided to swing by the Apple store to build a computer... just for the hell of it.

Six thousand seven hundred dollars.



How do normal humans afford these computers? And why the fuck does Apple have the balls to charge that much for Hardware?

The really fucked up thing? I'll end up dropping the money on one... I hate being a consumer whore. -Icepick

Hmmm...

If you get a DVI to VGA adapter for a G5, you can use any monitor you want. So if you have to have dual monitor setups, at lest you can find cheaper alternatives in companies like ViewSonic or Samsung.

What are you going to use the Mac for? I'm guessing it'll be something to do with music. If so, a Dual G5 is nice, but a bit overkill. Hell, so far I've heard there's hasn't been an app yet that can max out any G5 system.

For RAM, get Crucial. We use that stuff at work; much cheaper than Apple's own brand, and you never heard problems about it later in the computer's life. www.crucial.com is the website - you can search by manufacturer, model, and specific computer type, and they match you up with exactly what you need. Shipping from the site is free, too.

Hope that helps (I don't know if someone has already given the same speech).

I'd be using it for art, music, and general computer shit. Like pornography.

I appreciate the help from the helpful people. The rest of you can go die.

I'd say any G5 should do. The 1.8 and Dual 2 G5's support up to 8GB of RAM. Again, overkill considering PhotoShop, Final Cut Pro, et al. aren't that bad of resource hogs, but it's nice to know you can go that high.

If you want to go fr a Mac, but are looking at price too, I'd say aim for a 1.8 G5 + crucial ram + PC monitors with DVI -> VGA adaptor. If you have the extra money, go for the Dual 2GHz G5.
