Originally posted by Xcert:since we are on apple OS...anyone can tell me if there is any difference in a Mac and a PC in terms of hardware?

and vice versa....install Windows into an iBook to become a PC?
In my personal opinion, there's really no difference between Mac and PC hardware. Whatever the Mac specifications are offered by Apple can be matched by PC makers like Dell.
Main difference is you can install Mac or Windows on Mac hardware.
You can only install Windows on PC hardware. -
Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Hardware wise, Mac to me is like very inflexible. The amount of hardware supported is little as compared to Windows or Linux.
And err... in any case of dual booting, Windows has to install first, otherwise, it will corrupt the other OS...
If it's just one OS, it will work vice versa... provided it's supported. Windows should have no problems, Mac maybe.
I'm curious though, does Mac support AMD? Me don't really like Intel... It's a fact that Mac supports less hardware than Windows machines. But Mac supports those hardware very well. If anything goes wrong, it's always the hardware, never the software or OS.
Mac doesn't support AMD.
It doesn't really matter to end consumers what processor it runs. As long as it works, it's ok. Unless there are people who are super picky...hehehh -

Mac also can install on PC.....onli if the PC is intel....and u got the mac intel installer cd/dvd...and some cracking....but once u go online...u are screwed.. -
Yes, I'm picky. I prefer AMD over Intel. HeheOriginally posted by Parka: It's a fact that Mac supports less hardware than Windows machines. But Mac supports those hardware very well. If anything goes wrong, it's always the hardware, never the software or OS.

Mac's based on a variant of BSD.
Linux can be installed on Macs too.
I tried installing Mac on PC before. The experience wasn't that great. Couldn't find the correct graphic driver so my resolution was stuck at 1600by1200. Can't find the sound card driver so there's no sound.
Actually, there's no copyright protection built in Mac OS. So you go online you won't be screwed. Apple doesn't require you to enter serial numbers when you install Mac OS. -
Don't think so ba... I don't have that kind of skills.Originally posted by Parka: I suppose you can tell the difference between a similar spec AMD and Intel if you're doing a blind test? -
mac...bsd...and linux are unix based...bsd and linux can work on anything if not all...mac is still very much protected..thats y they monopolise so much for their OS as it works on their systems..Originally posted by Parka: Hmmm...

But Apple will not shut you down like Window Vista/XP, requiring you to activate your OS even though you own an original copy. -
well windows is the greater of 2 evilsOriginally posted by Parka: Yes, once online they will know.

Macbook Pro in Singapore is a bit overpriced.

just for that extra 256mb..lolOriginally posted by Parka: Macbook Pro in Singapore is a bit overpriced. -
Actually, I would like to think that it's because of OSX. If it can't install OSX, it will just be as cheap as a Dell.Originally posted by Rockhound:just for that extra 256mb..lol -
