Well, that's cool that it can do that then. But can you tweek the hardware? For example, overclocking your CPU, diverting system RAM as additional video RAM, or creating RAM drives? Again, these are just some examples that come off the top of my head.
What about the ability to upgrade individual cards/components, versus buying an entire new computer? I haven't seen any suppliers carrying MAC component cards, etc.?
Really, IMO, for the cost of a MAC as opposed to a PC, I'll stick with the PC, as I can more easily afford it. When you come right down to it, a PC with Linux or Unix can be just as useful as a MAC for what I'm using it for.
All the other stuff is also available, I use RAM disks for Photoshop frequently. As far as hardware upgrades, it depends on the Mac you bought and how handy you are. The Mac Pro is designed to upgrade as it is marketed to professionals. The low end Mac mini is also a favorite to hack and it's cheap.
BTW, it's Mac not MAC. Two totally different things.
Oh, I should mention that because of my job, I'm a bit biased towards Macs. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />
