337517 2005-03-24 23:47:00 :groan: Hi ninja & misty,

No - haven't yet purchased either of the two packages I was 'investigating'. Main probs:

1 package has no modem and is apparently in the 'budget range' of motherboards (see my threads)....

RTB warranties are abit of an issue as I am about 3.5 - 4hrs out of Auckland!!!

Pentium 4? AMD Athlon (said to be the best)? IMac?
Also had queries regarding Broadband....

Back to the drawing board. Be sure to post me if you all have any good info :@@:

Thanks :thumbs:

I'd personally say an Athlon 64 is better, as 1, it had 64 bit properties (Intel does too with Extended 64bit memory, however only on the high end Xeons IIRC), 2 it's slightly cheaper and 3, I've heard (Note heard) that it gives more bang-for-buck performance than pentium.

The eMac is good value and comes with the superb iLife package.

337522 2005-03-25 01:57:00 Just the sort of of pie in the sky assumption so often heard from the mac cultist..... Metla (12)

337524 2005-03-25 02:10:00 Lmao.

Mac users shooting themselves in the foot, it is great to see.

Oh to be so blind.

At least it must be a comfortable state.
