intel Is Here
adiment:
I'm actually pretty impressed with the MacBook Pro. Intel won't put out 65nm chips for PC's until Q3 06...and AMD 07. I haven't used OSX, but would 2,000 be worth a badass lappy + OSX?
--- Quote from: piratePenguin ---Well over a year ago, I built this computer:
80GB 7200RPM Maxtor (IIRC) HDD
AMD Athlon XP 2600+
MSI 52x32x52 CD-RW drive
LG DVD drive
A-Open nForce4 motherboard with onboard GeForce 4 MX, firewire, USB, sound
A nice small case with 350W PSU
256MB RAM (IIRC PC2600, but I'm not sure)
It's a nice PC, and it cost me 300 euro. The keyboard, mouse, monitor and speakers I already had. I got the motherboard and the CPU second hand, something that couldn't be done so easily with Macs.
If I went for a Mac, I'd be paying twice as much for a Mac mini. EDIT: no, I wouldn't. They didn't exist.
No thanks.

i think he thought it was nforce 4 because of the built in GeForce 4 built in? nForce 2 is socket 462

etement... consider this... $2000 for a dual-processing notebook, and the ability to boot between OS X, Windows for games, and Linux if you wish.

Ah, that's right, nforce2.

The MacBook uses EFI in place of BIOS. The only versions of Windows that support EFI are XP 64 (won't work) and Vista (not released). Unless, of course, Apple has put the BIOS emulation for EFI in there.
