as i said, Windows FTW

As usual, the clueless speak out of their boxer shorts. :frown:

The Powermac towers are every bit as customizable as a PC, usually using the same parts. You simply have no idea....

i'm talking about the OS

My frown still applies, the OS is more customizable than you think.

problem is that on a mac you have to buy everything that is specially made for mac. only mac video cards, mac keyboards, etc. also, why is there no full screen mode?

Are you retarded? So are you saying that a Mac video card will work with a PC? You have to buy a PC video card for your PC. You can't throw in a Mac video card in your PC and expect it to work. You have no argument here. You can use any keyboard with your Mac. My friend uses the Microsoft keyboard combo with his Mac mini. And what is this full screen mode you speak of?

Why Do I have a feeling that its YOU who is retarded, the guy clearly said you had to have a special mac video card for the mac so where did you come up with a mac video card workin on the PC!?:confused:

Because it's a stupid attempt at trying to make Macs look bad. I had to give him an explanation for his stupid statement.

You are quite retarded yourself, Mr. Philippine Mango.

Um I don't think that statement made anysense, have you been smoking lately?
And BTW, Who the hell do you think you are calling me "phillippine mango"? WTF!?

Because you are retarded. You are so stupid, it is difficult for you to even comprehend such a simple sentence.

I know you are Philippine Mango. Don't try and hide it.

Your really really immature, it's clear that your not older than about 18 years old. Your sentances cannot be comprehended because you simply make no sense. If you think your in the position to tell me that I am so "stupid" and "retarded" which would automatically make YOU smart, then maybe you can go on your power trip and "try to explain" WTF your talking about. To me, you make absolutely no sense and just appear to either be a mac fan boy or a foreigner who lacks the ability to learn proper grammar of the english language.

And what is up with you and Philippine Mango? Did you have relations with him but got tired of him ramming you in the ass and now that he left you for another man, you feel that everbody reminds him of you!?

I think you have serious problems and possibly your frustration has clouded your grammar capability because:
This: "Because it's a stupid attempt at trying to make Macs look bad. I had to give him an explanation for his stupid statement. "
This: "Because you are retarded. You are so stupid, it is difficult for you to even comprehend such a simple sentence. "
Make no sense.

I will explain WHY it makes no sense in another post because this will make this simply too complicated to post in 1 post.

I am 100% sure others can comprehend what I type. But you are too dumb to comprehend them with your less than elementary comprehenstion skills And yes, I am under the age of 18. I am 4 years old. And I can comprehend things a lot better than you.

My sentences make no sense? Wow, you are dumber than I thought, Philippine Mango.

And calling me a foreigner that lacks the ability to learn proper grammar? I am sorry, but us brits have been speaking english longer than you americans.

Lets dissect Lucifer's post shall we?

Supertyphoon says this:
problem is that on a mac you have to buy everything that is specially made for mac. only mac video cards

Ok so supertyphoon essentially said that apple makes proprietary hardware and forces you to purchase video cards that are specially designed for them.


Lucifer says this:
Are you retarded? So are you saying that a Mac video card will work with a PC? You have to buy a PC video card for your PC. You can't throw in a Mac video card in your PC and expect it to work.

Ok so Lucifer essentially said that Supertyphoon is retarded because according to Lucifer, Supertyphoon said that a mac video card will work with a pc. Lucifer also says that you have to buy a PC video card for your PC.

So yes, Lucifer's post DOES make sense, but only IF Supertyphoon had said this: I love the fact that apple video cards and PC video cards can be used interchangeably! Oh I love apple, and I hope steve jobs rams me in the bum hole. Sighs! :roll:
But wait a minute! I thought Supertyphoon said this!
problem is that on a mac you have to buy everything that is specially made for mac. only mac video cards, mac keyboards, etc. also, why is there no full screen mode?

So Lucifer, please tell the world where in the HELL does supertyphoon essentially say that "mac video cards can be used interchangeably with the pc"? IT DOESN'T!
God dammnit you piss me off and had you reread your goddamn post 50 times realizing you made a mistake, you could've apologizde for the mess up, you would have been easily forgiven and not look like a total fvck tard but instead you decided to go the fvck tard route, curious to see if you could "0wn3n 50m3 n3wb13s!!111!!" but instead you look like a jackass now.

If you want which it would appear you do since you apparently are an arrogant a-hole, I could dissect your later posts quoting me to which you further make you self look like a moron.

Sorry mods, but some people just piss me off and you'd THINK it would only be mac fan boys but in truth it's simply arrogant a-holes and those arrogant a-holes tend to be mac users. For the mac users that aren't arrogant a-holes, I guess I don't really hate after all!

Excuse me sir, but saying "Mac's have to use Mac video cards" to try to make Macs look bad is stupid. A PC has to use a PC video card, which makes no valid argument. Saying something stupid like that is pointless. I made a valid explanation of why his statement made no sense.

Sorry, but I made no mistake in my post. As I stated before, I made a valid explanation making his statement entirely worthless.

You calling me an arrogant mac user? You PC zealots are worse than everybody.

Agian you lack any sense in your post, you just said "saying Macs have to use mac video cards to try to make macs look bad is stupid." Why is it stupid? Care to tell?

Then you go and say "A PC has to use a PC video card, which makes no valid argument". Ok your right, a mac can only use a mac video card and a PC can only use a PC video card so that WOULD NOT make a valid arguement. But supertyphoon never said that mac video cards would work on a PC, he just thinks that it's stupid that your forced to have to purchase separate hardware for your mac. Apple's computers don't comply with standards set by the industry and have gone proprietary so that is why his arguement is VALID. You act like Apple and the PC world are both industry standards which they're not. PCs comply with the industry standards, apple computer's don't. </thread>

I make a lot of sense, but it's too bad you cannot comprehend my posts correctly.

I know that won't make a valid argument, which is why I pointed it out about 3 times already. Stupid to purchase separate hardware for you Mac? The only things that are probably different are the CPU and the video card. But you can use the same RAM, hard drives, Optical drives, etc. And many PCI cards are both Mac and PC compatible.

Apple isn't fully proprietary.

BTW, what are these "industry standards" you speak of?

Oh and BTW another arguement for the PC is that apple tried to implement it's ADC for communication between the computer monitor and the computer it's self, a replacement for DVI. Anyways an industry standard would be the communication between the graphics card and the system being AGP or PCIe. Sure they may claim to be AGP but you try to stick a PC video card in a mac or vice versa and see what would happen.

Oh and I don't believe you can stick a PCI video card in the mac "PCI bus" because if you could, I'm sure I could take my TV Wonder VE and install it in a mac. I mean why else would they make a mac wonder? Here is a link to the TV Wonder Elite: http://ati.com/products/tvwonderelite/specs.html
Where does it say that it's compatible with a mac?

problem is that on a mac you have to buy everything that is specially made for mac. only mac video cards

Ok so supertyphoon essentially said that apple makes proprietary hardware and forces you to purchase video cards that are specially designed for them.


Lucifer says this:
Are you retarded? So are you saying that a Mac video card will work with a PC? You have to buy a PC video card for your PC. You can't throw in a Mac video card in your PC and expect it to work.

Ok so Lucifer essentially said that Supertyphoon is retarded because according to Lucifer, Supertyphoon said that a mac video card will work with a pc. Lucifer also says that you have to buy a PC video card for your PC.

So yes, Lucifer's post DOES make sense, but only IF Supertyphoon had said this: I love the fact that apple video cards and PC video cards can be used interchangeably! Oh I love apple, and I hope steve jobs rams me in the bum hole. Sighs! :roll:
But wait a minute! I thought Supertyphoon said this!
problem is that on a mac you have to buy everything that is specially made for mac. only mac video cards, mac keyboards, etc. also, why is there no full screen mode?

So Lucifer, please tell the world where in the HELL does supertyphoon essentially say that "mac video cards can be used interchangeably with the pc"? IT DOESN'T!
God dammnit you piss me off and had you reread your goddamn post 50 times realizing you made a mistake, you could've apologizde for the mess up, you would have been easily forgiven and not look like a total fvck tard but instead you decided to go the fvck tard route, curious to see if you could "0wn3n 50m3 n3wb13s!!111!!" but instead you look like a jackass now.

If you want which it would appear you do since you apparently are an arrogant a-hole, I could dissect your later posts quoting me to which you further make you self look like a moron.

Sorry mods, but some people just piss me off and you'd THINK it would only be mac fan boys but in truth it's simply arrogant a-holes and those arrogant a-holes tend to be mac users. For the mac users that aren't arrogant a-holes, I guess I don't really hate after all!

Excuse me sir, but saying "Mac's have to use Mac video cards" to try to make Macs look bad is stupid. A PC has to use a PC video card, which makes no valid argument.
You calling me an arrogant mac user? You PC zealots are worse than everybody.

Agian you lack any sense in your post, you just said "saying Macs have to use mac video cards to try to make macs look bad is stupid." Why is it stupid? Care to tell?

Then you go and say "A PC has to use a PC video card, which makes no valid argument". Ok your right, a mac can only use a mac video card and a PC can only use a PC video card so that WOULD NOT make a valid arguement. But supertyphoon never said that mac video cards would work on a PC, he just thinks that it's stupid that your forced to have to purchase separate hardware for your mac. Apple's computers don't comply with standards set by the industry and have gone proprietary so that is why his arguement is VALID. You act like Apple and the PC world are both industry standards which they're not. PCs comply with the industry standards, apple computer's don't. </thread>

I make a lot of sense, but it's too bad you cannot comprehend my posts correctly.

I know that won't make a valid argument, which is why I pointed it out about 3 times already. Stupid to purchase separate hardware for you Mac? The only things that are probably different are the CPU and the video card. But you can use the same RAM, hard drives, Optical drives, etc. And many PCI cards are both Mac and PC compatible.

Apple isn't fully proprietary.

BTW, what are these "industry standards" you speak of?

Oh and BTW another arguement for the PC is that apple tried to implement it's ADC for communication between the computer monitor and the computer it's self, a replacement for DVI. Anyways an industry standard would be the communication between the graphics card and the system being AGP or PCIe. Sure they may claim to be AGP but you try to stick a PC video card in a mac or vice versa and see what would happen.

Oh and I don't believe you can stick a PCI video card in the mac "PCI bus" because if you could, I'm sure I could take my TV Wonder VE and install it in a mac. I mean why else would they make a mac wonder? Here is a link to the TV Wonder Elite: http://ati.com/products/tvwonderelite/specs.html
Where does it say that it's compatible with a mac?

I believe ADC was quite idiotic. But, the cool thing is that with an ADC compatible monitor, everything runs off of one cord, the ADC cord. My video card has an ADC port, the stock ATI RAGE 128 AGP card in G4. I don't use it.

You missed what I was talking about. I didn't say a PC PCI video card would work in a Mac. I said "And many PCI cards are both Mac and PC compatible." I am talking about ethernet cards, etc.

And ATI does make PCI video cards for Mac.

Lol the TV Wonder Elite is not a PCI Video card, it's a capture card. ATI has to make specially designed graphics cards because they don't want to comply with standards the PC has set forth.

There is a reason why I won't purchase a G5. ;) And my next computer is probably an Athlon 64 X2. I love to game. ;)

What processor do you have? And how well does it play?

Running with a P4 3.0Ghz and a 9800 Pro here. Runs pretty well at 1024x768 with most details at medium or high. Should run just fine on a 6600GT.

And on an Athlon 2600+? Also, my friend has a 3000+ Athlon XP and an Nvidia FX 5600 ultra. Would BF 2 run ok on that video card?

I'm running it on a 2.8C@3.5GHZ oh and the 9800PRO is overclocked to XT speeds. I play at medium details at 1280X960, 4XAA and average about 40FPS. Hopefully some patches will increase performance in the game.

If it meets the requirements, I should technically run on it but I wouldn't try it with any FX card. If you do though try it on an FX card, it would be a very good idea to read the readme included because it has tips for particular cards.

How am I suppose to buy a $2100 laptop?? It's not that I don't have the money, its that I have no way to buy it (ex. credit card).

go to an apple store :confused:

I would but that would add on about another $150 from tax


The apple.com store charges tax in every state.


Not in Oregon. :p
