My [little] brother is a bit of a 'gamer,' he plays Counterstrike a lot. Anyhoo, his Athlon runs so hot that ihe has to keep the side of his computer case open or the whole thing will crash. It's not even overclocked!

I personally don't understand it all, but I keep telling him it's ridicules.

Whats with the PC bashing?

It's one thing to talk if you can back it up, but I don't see it from macs. Their processors don't come close to the performance of Intel and AMD.

To Jacko:
Your little brother's Athlon machine obviously doesn't have enough fans in it. You do need fans to keep those chips cool.

I just bought an iBook last month to go along with my wifes Athlon PC and my Intel PC at home. They all serve their purpose.

I always thought Apple made 'cool' hardware but never liked their crappy OS's. I didn't like Windows either, so I was an OS/2 guy before I switched to Linux. I bought my iBook because I heard that OS X was nice. And it is. But now, Apple needs to get off its butt and build some decent hardware. I've got to be honest. The iBook looks good but its slow as hell. If you haven't used PC's then you don't notice how slow your mac's are. I really think they need to either get the PowerPC chips up to speed or consider dropping them for AMD's 64-bit processor thats in development.
