You don't need to buy a premium PC to get those features, though. You just need a case an a motherboard and you're on the path to 5 years of win.

Gamers would never buy a prebuilt computer. Except the dumb ones who buy Dell computers. ****ing Dell.

I thought there were Intel processors in Macs now?

Am I taking a leap by finding irony in the fact theres a program called 'logic' on a Mac...?
FL and Vegas suit me fine kthx.

SHUT UP! The fact that you keep playing that card is not only tedious, it's worthless.

1. EA games don't count.
2. Dual booting doesn't count (otherwise Linux would technically play games, too).
3. Boot camp doesn't count (See 2).
4. Solitaire or similar games don't count.
5. Photoshop isn't a game.
Also, on the internet fight scale, by telling me to shut up and using extensive capital letters you're approximately 3 steps away from comparing PCs to Nazi Germany.
Just a heads up.

By arguing about who started computers earlier, this has become the ultimate in nerd fights. If anyone outside this forum finds this we're ****ed socially. And I mean ****ed as in screwed. And I mean screwed as in we'll get killed and wont respawn.

Yeah well I was arrested by the FBI for hacking their database when I was four months old and they only let me out when I'd finished my quota of quantum level float calculations so we could beat the aliens by using a computer virus and shutting down their shields.

I don't. I'm so bitter and twisted the only joy I get is when I piss someone off on the internet. Ref. this topic.

Well I don't give a shit about Windows. I'm supporting PCs, not Windows. I've said time and time again that as soon as Wine gets good, I'm gtfoing. The only reason I use it is because everyone makes programs for it. I didn't even pay for it.
The only thing worse than running a proprietary OS, though, is when your entire computer is proprietary. That sucks. That is why I'm not a supporter of Apple and most likely never will be.
