Mac vs PC - Do the specs really match?

[SuperJ]

Ok,

2 of the main things holding me back from getting a mac are

1. Graphics power
2. CPU power for video rendering


If I was to go today and drop £1149 on a 24" iMAC, it would have a 2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo CPU and a HD2600Pro GPU. And more to the point it will still have that in 5 years time.

Whereas today I could go and drop £170 on a Q6600 Quad Core Chip for my PC.

So really consumer Mac's can't keep up with PC's in terms of power.

How would you as mac owners' debate that point?

Funny how the OP posted the topic then left.

No good troll

All I was asking for was opinion, doesn't me I had to respond

trust me it's not, this week so far I have bought an ibook to try out "mac" and installed ubuntu on my main computer to try it.

Although the upshot of this all will be next week when I sell the ibook, uninstall ubuntu and realise Vista does everything I need it to do perfectly well
