A bit OT but you'll see my point... >The theory is that Wintel (or at least Windows) users need to upgrade >more frequently (because every new version of Windows is more bloated - >apparently new versions of OS X have been the same or even more efficient). > >If you had 2 users each buy a machine at the same time >Windows users upgrades his machine every year >Mac user upgrades his machine every 3 years
That's in theory... my 5 year old PC still runs and doesnt' need any updates in terms of server use. But as far as most of my pc aquaintances, most of the time we just swap a cpu, swap a hard drive and DONE... No need to buy a new PC. Just like old mac accelerators (but much cheaper, much better supported too (driver and support wise). Last time i did this (to improve GTR's speed), the mother board cost 50$ and the CPU+ram 400 more. Done... No 1000+$ hardware expenses... And i got room for lots more drivers (compared to a minimac)... So are you just searching for justifications or excuses to stay on the mac or what? cheers Xavier ----------------------------------------- Visit us at http://www.clearstream.com IMPORTANT MESSAGE Internet communications are not secure and therefore Clearstream International does not accept legal responsibility for the contents of this message.
