A Civil iMac Versus PC Thread - Read OP before you go PCFanboy-ing.

I don't give a stuff about their processors if I can't play games on it. You use a mac and you are a part of a GAMING COMMUNITY. There are few games for macs so of course there's going to be bias.

The main problem with the performance in games on the mac is that the operating system 2 years ago was not designed for gaming. The hardware is fine. Look at their 6 8 and 12 core processors bra.

I don't really stay updated on PC/Mac stuff until I actually need to be, for instance, if I'm considering purchasing one or the other. I know their hardware's fine.

And I am not a bra.

Apple's downfall is probably the fact that Steve Jobs won't give any company Mac's source code ever since Bill Gates forgeted them over. They are starting to expand again by the results of more mac compatible steam games.

So basically:

Mac is user-friendly, extremely easy to use, and is pretty

PC is advanced technology, for people that know how to use a computer, and is functional

Hey, guess what.

Bootcamp takes 2 hours to use and let's you run Windows XP/Vista/7 in all it's entirety.


Anyway, I'm right about the Operating system since I get stuffty performance in Macintosh OS X, (2008) 10.5.7, yet great performance in vista.

Lol they were starting to get more games long before steam came into the picture

there's not that many games for mac on steam, trust me

Yeah I know but at least Steve Jobs is staring to actually give people their loving source code such as Valve which led to TF2 on Mac and Portal, etc. There aren't a lot of mac games for steam but they are starting to appear.

Hey, guess what.

Getting a PC lets you run Windows XP/Vista/7 in all its' entirety too.

so OS isn't an issue :D

[Bisjac]

yes the war about OS's is over! macOS can do anything windows can as long as they emulate!
fine.

then the battle is about hardware comparison;

Go!

[LegoEggo]

hardware depends on which computer (not just pc/mac) you buy, so

hurr hurr?

well someone clearly isnt savvy on computers lol
because that isnt true

mac has its own private hardwares for some parts.
while pc parts are of many brands, some you cant even get a hold of in any prebuilt comp.

exactly

so we need to decide which pc or mac his g-ma will be buying

since theres lots of different brands and such :)

2 Problems I would like to point out with OP.

1. You are asking which OS is better, but you keep bringing hardware into it. Might want to rephrase abit.

Con: Can't support games

There is nothing physically stopping a Mac from supporting games. It just that not many companies bother to port games. (But that's changing, EA has been releasing mac/pc versions on the same disk for a couple now, most indie games I see are for Mac/PC, and then Valve released some of it's bigger titles for mac.)

[General Nick]

Linux/ubuntu suck. no full support from most manufacturers.

Macs suck ass too. you pay quadruple for a piece of stuff that costs only $800 from any other manufacturer that isn't macs (especially considering apple is the only manufacturer of products with OS X).

Windows doesn't get viruses unless you're a handicap. If you actually fall for a stupid advertisement that claims you will be able to download a better piece of hardware, digitally over the internet, then you deserve to have your computer fried.

I have no hardware failure problems either. I don't understand what most people don't get when they try to shove DDR3 RAM into a DDR2 motherboard or a Core i7 onto a LGA 775 socket. Or when they try to run Vista on a GeForce 5500FX just for DirectX 10 with 512MB RAM and can't figure out why they can't even run DX10, probably because the card can't even run DX10.

tl;dr; you are an idiot if you think windows sucks because you can't operate it.
