Hey as long as your comp does what you want it to... well.. isn't that enough?

Yeha, a computer is a computer, just don't waste it.

I agree.

yup, thats what I feel about mine too. It may be getting old (specs in http://computerforums.org/showthread.php?t=9920&page=2 thread )but it does what I need it to so it'll suffice until longhorn

screw that!, if my computer isn't good enough to play all the new game I get pissed and start buying things, even though i only play 1 or 2 games, i like to be ready to be able to play something when i get teh chance, i dont want to sit there and say "sry i cant try your brand new doom 3 because my computer cant handle it"

There is something in aple's favor that got that their result, I only believe independent tests.

 

[zoomtm]

yea i think so too

Apple's benchmarks are a pile of poop (pardon me for the gross imagery). But anything off Apple's site is a load of nonsense. What is really revealing is that an single CPU AMD 64 3200+ defeats a dual G5 2.5GHz by a substantial margin.
