I mad mac a choice just bcuz...ddit want the apple boys to get mad..if there are any. I messed up on the OS part I am well aware that mac uses intel parts. Didt know they used Nvidia
intel/ati ATM. My future build will probably be amd/ati. I'm liking the phenom II's and I've personally had too much trouble with nvidia cards so I'll stick with ati for awhile.
Sys#1: AMD/Nvidia
Sys#2: AMD/ATI
Sys#3: Mac OS, so I guess Intel/Nvidia.
I know the Macbooks have been using Intel since 2006 but I thought the G4's (desktops) were still using Apple CPU's. Didn't know about the Nvidia GPU but that totally makes sense as the new line of Macbooks can run TF2 no problem. I really should get one. Oh yeah, I voted Mac OS.
I perfer AMD. It's cheaper, For one, and Seems to work well. Nvidia cards always work better than ATI, Or at least, I think they do. They seem to run a bit faster, and do better at processing information.
Overclocked Phenom II's compare pretty similar, if not better in some games than i7's, and seeing as AMD is cheaper, its really like the others said, bang for your buck.
