Essentially yes (for me)
If car A is 50,000 and has the EXACT performance of car B which is 35,000, which would you buy?

I was just playing with a nice Duallie G5.... If I could afford one I would be all over it... I really like OSX..


Next rig will be AMD64 + WinXP / Linux dual boot

Currently running on an Athlon64 3000+ / Debian-stable machine. The only time it boots Windows (2000 pro) is to play games at LANs.

If I had my choice, though (and the funding), I'd be running on an SGI Onyx4. IRIX on MIPS processors is far preferrable to anything else, and runs Maya really fast. Unfortunately, the base system (2 700mhz MIPS processors, 2 ATI FireGL graphics pipelines) starts at around $40,000 and change.

Other machines in my house:

UltraSPARC IIe 250mhz x2 / Solaris 9 (Sun Ultra Enterprise 3000)
MIPS R4000 175mhz / IRIX 6.5.12 (SGI Indy)
Athlon XP2000+ / Debian-stable (NFS / netboot server / cluster manager)

AMD + Windows.

But I have to say in my defense, it is because I like to play games.

Otherwise it would be AMD _ Non - Windows

Main Rig - P4 2.4C @ 3.1 = Windows XP
Lan Rig - Barton 2500 @ 2.2 = Windows XP
Laptop - P4 M 1.4 = Windows XP

I used to run redhat linux when I had an apache server few years ago, also messed around with FreeBSD & BeOS. However, most comfortable with Windows XP.
