Hi, I am new to this forum. I been trying to learn as much as I can about the the alternatives to Windows. This all started a couple of months ago when my friend enligthed me to the idea of linux. He sent me to this sight, and i started to read. Soon, I didn't want anything to do with windows and microsoft in genaral. For the last 2 1/2 years, i been using a 1ghz amd athlon, 512 mgb sdram, gforce2 mx 400 pc. I used to game a lot, but not so much anymore. I am really starting to get into 3d design and want to do this for a profession. I was gonna build a duel processor 1.0-1.6 ghz amd athlon pc. But, After doing a lot of reading I have some questions
Does the limited FSB really impact the performance?I know it will not be the fastest(no one will ever have the fastest computer)
Is the new Mac os compatible with some windows application besides MS. Office?
I have a soundblaster audigy sound card. Can I find drivers for Mac?
Probably stupid, but can u run a Mac os. on a pc or linux on a mac computer?
I want to rid myself of windows, but i don't want to isolate myself from the rest of the world. Linux seemed a good way to go since my current setup would run much faster with linux, but the software i need for 3d animation, etc. isn't found on linux(or am i wrong?)
Can I build a custom mac myself?(Where can I buy the individual parts?example, chip, motherboard, etc.)
I am assuming that mac computers use standard ddr memory you can purchase in a local computer store.
Thanks for taking your time to read my post. Any imput would be very helpful.
