Also, MattNF's and Fireblaster's computers are completely superior to mine, only advantage yours has is DDR3 RAM (and the gain isn't worth the price).

Take into account that my desktop is low midrange, no, your laptop doesn't 'contend' with desktops. And this is for mainstream computers, the i7s and the like have come out, while your 'superior Macbook pro' is still stuck with a Core2Duo, and a pretty meh Core2Duo as well.Īnd, not to mention, the highest graphics card a Macbook Pro can go up to is a 9600M GT.

For one, quad cores didn't become really affordable until more recently, with the Q8XXX and Q9XXX series. Its powerful enough hopefully, but not as much as you say it is.įor computers, 2 years is an enormous amount of time. If your mac is as 'powerful' as you say it is, it should be able to run a virtual machine. Crossover is emulation of DirectX, virtual machine is emulation of the underparts but the rest is normal. Apple has it right.īootcamp means actually running it as a native operating system (Your mac boots into windows like any old PC). I got very interested in the building of computers when i was reconstructing my 'old' desktop over and over. This laptop rivals your desktops yet you could fit ten of them in the space of your desktop. But i believe you can go farther than that and get a 25 cent calculator and get more bang for you buck than either machines.Īlso it is amazing how you are bringing your desktops to contend with a laptop. So Nixxxon, i doubt comparing a 2010 model car with a horse carriage is appropriate here, seeing as the difference between my laptop and my desktop in age is at most two years.Īnd if you want to talk about money efficiency, yes you will probably get more for your money with a PC. It had become a bit ridiculous but i liked keeping that computer up to speed with the newer desktops being released. It had an old frame, yes, but i constantly was swapping out parts of it with newer parts in order to keep it up to date.

Instead of only having one finger on the trackpad, I have to have two! *gasp*Īlso, i called my desktop old because i don't use it anymore. Is bootcamp going to act any differently than crossover? I'll give it a try out this week. Buncha mac haters, hmm? =P Well thanks for the help.
