    [APPLE] "Switch" One Year Later: No One Switched

    "Because the guys who code OS X know what mobo and chipset their OS is going to use" So the "other guys" don't know?.. if thats what you're suggesting, it's laughable, sorry. Show me performance examples or any example of why this is better or leads to better quality. Are you suggesting Apples...

    [APPLE] "Switch" One Year Later: No One Switched

    I can't see it so I'm asking for evidence, again I have seen none. "co-designed by Apple" says nothing about the quality, since you claim to know; what exactly was Apples contribution in the chip design anyway? what about the 970 is from Apples input? How are the Apple engineers ideas...

    What OS is the prefered choice for gamers these days??

    I'm using Win2K Pro, I found that Rainbow 6, albiet an older version, will not run on 2k. At least I haven't found a way, I haven't looked too hard though. I have rack mounted hard drives and being lazy, got a cheap HD and installed 98se on it. Otherwise everything else runs great, no...

    Overclocking the XP 1500 - need guidence -please!

    Which MSI board are you getting?. I have the MSI K7266T Pro-2 (KT 266 chipset). It comes with 'Fuzzy Logic4' that allows overclocking in Windows, you can adjust voltages (CPU, AGP & Memory), and FSB. It has an auto tune feature that will crank your processor & board to failure, it'll reboot...
