At college we have to use Macs for a composition in our sound, sequencing and synthesis module, after using cubase for about 4/5 years, I now have to simultaneously compose 2 pieces and learn how to use logic and therefore a mac before Christmas.

Sucks.

And yet people still ask me "Oh you have a recording setup at home, why don't you have a mac?!" Upon asking the question "Why do I need a mac?" I'm yet to find someone who can actually give me any answer, at all!

This was an exam question on one of my Sound Engineering exams.

I think i was told by my tutor that they are more stable and hopefully wont crash. If your using a PC and working on recording a band etc and the PC crashes you lose everything(hopefully not if you save), PC's are notorious for crashing while Mac's have a stigma that they don't, my Macs crash but nowhere near as much as my PC did. Time is money in studio's so any crashes or hiccups cost money.

A Radeon 1900XT? £170 for an 18-month old GPU is ridiculous though, especially when that's an upgrade from a 7300GT, which Apple seems to think is worth £100 (judged by the fact that adding a second 7300GT to the machine costs that much).

I've got a 1900XT and it's a capable card, but £170 would get you an 8800GTS.

I just dont like the interface... but I have grown to like them as my sister uses them due to her being a designer, but PCs rule Linux or Windows :)

Anyone who's deluded enough to think that Macs are more stable than PC's nowadays needs their head checking, while I'll conceed that in the early days of Windows 98/ME and probably early XP they undoubtedly were, nowadays they most certainly aren't. My work machine has run XP pro for nearly 2 years, it has all manner of crap installed on it and is used at least 12+ hours a day, not once has it bluescreened, restarted unexpectedly or frozen which is in stark contrast to the install of Aperture I played with on a Mac, which locked the machine up while trying to get images off the CF card.

it is useful when you need specifics of a certain program that is only available on windows. useful for testing applications, websites etc as well without having to have a seperate physical computer.

If you found 10 Mac users of Bootcamp, I bet one would use it like you say, and the other 9 would use it because half the stuff they want to do doesn't work on Mac.

i can't be bothered to , but you could spec a much more powerful system up on Vadim, with a dual socket quad core, 8800ultra's in sli etc, 16gb, you name it,

so that comment is fairly invalid.

What comment? He was clearly stating that easyriders PC does not run 5 times faster than any mac in existance.

Using Bootcamp strikes me as a bit daft. It's like a vegetarian eating meat-flavour food.

What about the Imac's or the Mac mini's.

Please show me a pc as small and powerfull as a Imac.
And please find me a All in One solution which is as powerfull and nice looking as the Imac

I'm struggling to think of a mainstream program in Windows that doesn't either work on a Mac or have an equal equivalent.

Certain specialist or business programs may not work but that only applies to a few % of users.

I don't have bootcamp installed because I see no need. And I do a lot more than the average computer user.

That wasnt the question?

He said his computer was 5x more powerful than any mac, i picked a mac pro and made it more powerful than his PC.

I dont give two if you can find a more powerful pc.
