Hey I fitted my Gateway windows computer after the warrenty with an athalon processor (don't ask me I had it professionallay installed) I it didn't work much diffrent at all and it still didn't run more than 10 applications and I only had about 20 of them personly I think it depends on the OS's own charicteristics not on the actual speed of the computer like he said he had a 500 Mhz machine and it works fine the Mac OS uses less recorces and memory because OSX runs smaller system processes and leaves room for more Windows XP for example dosen't really manage the use of the CPU so more memory is used and another contrubiting factor is also the fact that they make thier own parts so they can charge as much as they want PC companys are just guys that get to put thier logo on it and get 30% of the cash they mostly don't in the end use the best parts the companies Dell Gateway HP and all the other brand name computter makers now use all cheap parts the people that build thier computers spend more money and time but thats how you get the most quality (of the little there is) by building one but it then becomes your responsibilityand thier are no more warrenties to protect you the speed dosen't matter its how you take care of it and how it takes care of itself so the computer may seem dodjey but you must be used to yelling at your monitor GOD DAMN YOU BILL GATES! now the only thing that is left is also that they don't take care of them if your having trouble talk to the tech if thier is none become one. Don't just sit around and complain on this fourm do something about it P.S it would be a good idea to use Safari its on every Mac OSX machine
What a plethora of run-on sentences.
It took until the last few lines before you actually ended one with an exclamation mark...
Mac OS uses less "recorces"? Hell no. Granted it manages what it uses more efficiently, and its excellent methods of caching help system performance a lot, but that doesn't mean it uses less system resources. No matter what way you put it, OS X is a resource hog. However, this is justified by the fact that it manages system memory much better than XP...it pretty much fills it as much as it can, meaning it gets full usage out of the RAM it's got, minimizing disk usage. Windows XP, on the other hand, seems addicted to the pagefile. Linux must vary...I definitely do not get NEAR the disk activity, nor the slowdowns I get when I boot this machine into XP, meaning it manages that sort of thing quite well.
Additionally, I have nothing whatsoever against Bill Gates. He's a genius, for sure. His company hasn't worked out many issues that are working against XP, and the operating system is pretty low right now, yet it still has most of the market share. A brilliant business model. I personally very much dislike Windows. I also cannot afford an Apple computer right now. So? I use Linux. It works. It works well. I like it, it cost me nothing, my hardware happens to be fairly crappy but not all x86 hardware is. You seem to have a lot against x86 hardware because you associate it with Windows. What if Windows ran on PPC? What if Mac OS ran on x86? Actually, Darwin, the core of OS X CAN run in x86. Windows NT once actually did have a PPC port. Granted Apple hardware is generally good quality, and many of the major-name manufacturers of x86 hardware make crappy machines (coughDellcough), but that doesn't mean Apple hardware is flawless, nor does it mean you cannot get good quality x86 hardware...even if it runs......Windows!
Don't get me wrong. I very much like Mac OS X, and the computers that they run on. Not so much the company...brand-loyalty is very bad and can lead to poor buying decisions. But as much as I may like the computer "Macs" are today, I DESPISE the "Mac cult"...the "Apple fanaticism"...the blind devotion to the computer and company (and the ignorant bashing as well) that goes on.
End rant...I'm tired, maybe I should stop posting on little sleep... :laughing:
