It's a nice computer - but it could be better!
A :-- only one processor? A dual (or quad) processor would own the arse out of hyperthreading anyday. And what OS takes advantage of Symetric Multi Processing more effeciently?
B:Bah, geforce. If you have the drivers get a radeon for petes sake, it's better than a GF4 and it doesn't sound like a vacuum cleaner.
C:Whats the rpm on that HDD?
D:SCSI. RAID. RAID arrays in Linux are the way to go. I'll bet my RAID array beats your serial ATA hands down.
Yeah it does kick the crap out of my computer all up. But jesus why waste however much you spent on something that's really just a big fancy box? There are better things to buy! Once you reach a certain level you can run 95% of the games out there, and really that's all the perfomance is used for in a desktop so why the fuck bother tripling the price to get faster when for me my computers already fast enough? I would rather buy a book, cd or go to a movie man, you're wasting cash here. I mean-
>>>A computer isn't like a status symbol.
>>>i bet my memory alone cost more than your entire setup
What is it with you people?!?!? This isnt something to be proud of! Stop wasting your money!

Finally! Some sense!
The above said, WMP9 still sucks. Read that EULA yet? The interface still sucks, it does lots of crap that really isn't that interesting and every media player out there kicks its arse. (well most... definitely not including real one player which i *despise*.)
I _still_ believe that there is no computer program out there that can match the audio quality of a hardware amplifier. This is why people buy hardware amps...

SO you're sure MS would port their software to mac which in your own words is analogous to a "kick in the balls for Windows loyalists?"

I'm not cheap, and neither are you. We just feel like spending money on different things.
PS:I didn't intend to call you cheap, but i apologize if you felt that way zombie. You're posts are appreciated a lot.
