Those will be the absolute best for photoshop and its brethren (by, in theory, a factor of 2-3, which is a lot for that sort of thing.) ... but otherwise, i.e. if you can only get something with a G3 in it (an iMac, say) then you're as well off with a PC. Honestly, they crash about the same amount. And while solutions to macintosh problems are simpler, they're more aggravating, I think, too. well... whatever.--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- Replying to Original Article:Article: Actually, the computer would live in my apartment and possibly my house (depending on how soon I get it), so no university connections for it. And the school as ethernet so it can stay permanantly connected. Argh. This means I need to stop spending so much money on things like addictive rpgs and CDs and stuff and get me a computer since I don't really know how I'm going to make it through the summer without one. And I don't know jack about PCs or Apples; I just know one is more expensive that the other. Oh,well.--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
