I personally think both are great. I use the Mac for some programming and for content creation. I use the PC for my business and also for some gaming. Both have there advantages and dis-advantages. http://www.thetechbasement.com http://www.twitte...

A PC Guy Meets a Mac

Favorite iPhone/iPod Touch Apps

Since the App Store started six months ago it has really revolutionized the iPhone and
portable iPod Touch markets. With now more than 15,000 apps available for the iPhone and iPod Touch it has really opened the door for the user to do almost anything with these two devices. The possibilities are almost endless and has turned these two devices into mini portable computers. There are tons of apps available, but these are just a few of my favorites. What are your favorite apps?

Thanks for the comment. You have a pretty nice setup too, only I transport my Xbox 360, Acer PC, and 22" monitor to my dad's house where my HP is.

Hi TTB,
Wow, that E8500 CPU is one stout piece of hardware. I'm envious. I'm working toward putting together a better computer, one I can use for some of the newer games (Fallout 3). I do lot of computer repair and built quite a few machines for myself, but it's always nice to have other advice. I received the XFX GeForce 9800 GT today, but my Dell 5150 isn't equipped to give it a test run. I plan on the E8400 Processor and possibly an Asus MoBo (we are talking budget and bang for buck here) 500 Watt PS. I may overclock some possibly 3.6 GHz, all stuffed in a non-gaming Mini-Tower case. Since the power consumption of the E8400 is 20 watts less then my 640, I should be able to run without heavy cooling. My Dell 5150 with a GeForce 7600 GT, 3 GB RAM doesn't even speed up the fan under heavy game play. E8400 + MoBo Gaming cases drive me crazy, they are so ugly. I guess you could call this hot rod a sleeper. LOL!
What think?
