i think intel vs amd as that is one of the most equally devided groups

3dfx vs everyone else

You missed the biggest one of all time MAC vs PC.

 

[WarmAndSCSI]

It can't be Mac v. Windows.... There's no competition there.

1) How many pieces of software have been made for Windows? How many have been made for Mac?.... LOL

2) What percentage of the programming community develops for the Mac OS? (yes, I know OS X is just a shell ontop of BSD)

3) If Macs are so great, why does the fastest PC kick the fastest Mac's arse?

4) How upgradable are Macs compared to PCs?

5) Does Apple even have a client-server system for their OSes or is it just peer-to-peer based networking?

I rest my case.

The biggest one,hmmm it was 3DFX against Nvidia,ask Hardware he`s an expert on that topic .

Oh, I'm sorry. Apple DOES have a client-server algorithm BUT IT SUCKS!

Amd vs Intel.Much like the Atari vs Commadore flame wars I liked so much back in THE DAY.

 

[DanStp]

I didn't say it is a logical arguement. MAC people are like people in a CULT. So too them it never ends, and they are always right.

Mac v Windblows
Come on, the OS wars are the ultimate flame war

SCSI vs. IDE. Holy mother of god that was fun to read.

I'd say AMD/Intel.

The palm one isn't that big, and the voodoo one is over.

ATI vs Nvidia is big, but not everyone is into gaming, so that's a smaller scale war.

The mac vs windows one is second I'd say, but it seems pointless.


If you're a mac user, you're a mac user. If you're a windows user, you're a windows user. Granted, there are some people who do use both, but they're mostly one way and the other only on occasion. Also, there seems to be relatively little jumping going on. eg, Jim buys a mac, then buys a PC, then goes back to a mac...

AMD/Intel is bigger IMO because the cpu speed war makes consumers feel like they have a slow computer after 6 months. Once that old computer is "slow" the person goes back into the market for a new processor. Switching between AMD and Intel is very easy to do (can you tell whether you're running an AMD machine or an intel machine without looking it up in the device manager etc?). Most people will go for a price/performance sweet spot, and the war is on to market a chip right in that spot.

I game, but not much, as I still have a GF2. I've been a PC user since the first one my family got, and am not likely to switch. I HAVE, however had systems with amd chips, and systems with intel chips, and bought whichever one offered me the most bang for the buck.
