A Mac to drool for Quad-Core G5 Processing With two dual-core processors, at speeds up to 2.5GHz per core, the Power Mac G5 Quad doubles the punch of its dual-processor predecessor. Do the math: Quad-core processing means four Velocity Engines and eight double-precision floating-point units for blistering performance of up to 76.6 gigaflops. That means you can manipulate mountains of images or miles of footage. Crunch enormous data sets. Encode HD video or high-bit-rate audio.

JUPITER Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 I wonder who'll buy a unit like that from me. hehehehe @In_style, Do not get the iSight. You can only use it with iCHat. You can't use it with YM. Quote Link to comment

You can't use it with YM.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> I beg to disagree bro. I'v been using 2 isights with Yahoo Messenger on my ibook G4 and iMac G5. It works preety well. iSight will not work with iChat if your internet connection is slower that 100kpbs and no other webcam will work with iChat unless you have the third party apps. You can check the local Mac User Group Threads regarding iSight and YM Pinoymac - isight YM thread Quote Link to comment

ElRey Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Just wondering, what do you use computers for?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>hmmm, honestly? downloading porn? no just kidding, la lang typical, word processing, photoshop, excel, etc... but do like to dabble in video editing and others, no big user, but what causes my apprehension is the compatibility issues of macs to MS applications and software... also, i'm generally turned off with proprietary peripherals, simple things like P2500 Mac mouses and web cams only for macs doesn't really endear me to it... my linux engineer buddy keeps telling me it's more stable, not subject to viruses, but honestly havent' really had any problems... so tell me guys, why macs?

dreamreaper Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 so tell me guys, why macs?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> First and foremost “pogi points”. No one can deny that Macs are eye-candies. The power of the design is in it’s simplicity. From the pristine white iBooks and iMacs to the industrial PowerBooks and Power Macs. Your Linux buddy is right. Macs are more stable machines than it’s PC counterparts. That’s why 80% of the hardcore and professional video editors, graphics engineers and audio engineers use Macs. Toy Story which shook the world of animation was created by Pixar using Macs. For your basic processing needs, Microsoft Office for Mac is available which is fully compatible with MS Office for Windoze. Most commonly used third party applications also have their Mac counterparts. Just in case there are none, there are Mac softwares which can do the same job better. There is a misconception that Macs and its accessories are expensive. Yes, high-end Macs do come with big price tags but so do high-end PCs. Ibooks and Mac Mini’s are great machines with a great value for its price. Mac are not snobbish when it comes to accessories. Yes there are Apple Mouse do cost 2500php and PCs have a 7000php laser mouse. You don’t need to buy these babies. I personally use a CDR King portable retractable mouse which I got for 280php and it works like a charm. These accessories are tools for hardcore professional users and luxuries for the average user. I was personally a Windoze PC fanatic. I use to have e-Cube bare bone form-factor, H2O cooled systems the works and I even considered a fully liquid submerged system but when I switched to Mac I know I’m not going back. My PC system now runs on Linux My advice is to get your hands on a Mac and personally get a feel of the machine. Consider the following Macs: iBook 12" G41.33GHz 512MB40GB HDDCombo DriveAPX(Wifi)Bluetooth1,000USD Mac mini G41.25GHz 512MB RAM40Gb HDDCombo Drive499USD ps: all the women and men uses Macs :goatee: Quote Link to comment
ElRey Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 (edited) so pwede yung mga chupipoy na mouse and perifs sa macs? like webcam? what about my cool wireless keyboard and mouse? kung pa pogi lang, wag na, dont' really go for that... what about software availability? pirated? not for me ha, just asking, hehehehe...

clipperjune Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Me pirated software din ang MAC, just ask around. Availability naman medyo limited. So far MAC software nakikita ko lang sa mga mac shops pero bihira sa mga non MAC shops. Quote Link to comment

Bottom line, Macs are great machines. I would rather have a Toyota Sprinter which can burn a quartermile in less than 10sec than a 10 sec owner type jeep with practicaly the same price. I use a bunch of chipipay things, A4tech wireless mouse and keyboard, a 250php CDR King Mouse, HP3500 Deskjet printer, USB Keyboard, PS2 Keyboard, RF Presentation Controller and any digital camera without even installing any drivers. Our group does not advocate piracy but just to answer your question, yes there are pirated software out there. I switched because i wanted a satble machine and a better operating system. The last time i turned off my 'book was 3 months ago and i cant even remember when was the last time i had to reboot my system (except when i need to when i update my software). If you are really considering to SWITCH, keep your mind open. If your happy with Windoze then stick with it. But let me tell you bro, once you go Mac, you'l never go back to Windooooooozzzzzzzeeeeee.. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! Quote Link to comment
