Possible new computer
    #7914292 - 01/22/08 11:30 AM (16 years, 10 days ago)

I am really into gaming, especially MMORPG's(ya I'm a nerd, deal with it :wink: ) and I may be getting a new computer.  I am a die hard mac fan, but all of the good games are for PC.  I would get a mac and run boot camp, but the thing I dont like about the Imacs is taht they are not really upgradeable in the future.  Im kind of at a loss at what to do, should I just stop my bitchy whining about PC's and get one, or can any of you think of some alternative to my problem.

Basically I want a solid gaming comp that runs Mac and PC, and is easily upgradeable in the future.

Just get yourself a state-of-the-art PC with all new components, and you're good to go.
What do you really need an Apple computer for anyway?

If you aren't good with something. Read up on it. Dual booting is pretty easy. As far as alienwares go, the value is never as good as building your own. Meaning they are overpriced. But then all factory builds are. Haven t heard any complaints about their builds in general, so go with it if you have the money to blow.

Reading up on dual booting now, thanks

Alienware is looking good right now, I dont know if I would be comfortable building my own computer. The more I think about it, I only like macs based on meaningless personal preference. I dont do anything complex on it, I just think it looks better and is easier to use; looks like I may be heading back to the PC for gaming.

By the way, anyone else on here looking forward to age of conan?
