I own 6 PCs that I build myself over the years - from 800MHz to 2GHz blah blah blah.
Yesterday, I finished a six month research project (whew), which I did my data calculation, of course, on my 1.8GHz Win2000 laptop. Loaded up with 512 Megs mem, I thought I was rocking in the middle of my iterations, switching between applications and otherwise overheating the CPU. i thought i was flying!
My research partner, OTOH, was on her Mac sys9 doing the same iterations, but with a different dataset.
she finished days before me.
I really have very little experience with Macs, but after watching how fast her machines kicked ass - I am seriously getting one!
on EDIT: any recommendations from you guys?
