The forums seem pretty dead so I decided, why not liven it up a bit with a good argument!
Topics in this ... topic:
Processors: AMD vs. Intel
Graphics: ATi vs. NVidia
Operating Systems: Macintosh OS X (Apple) vs. FreeBSD vs. Linux vs. Solaris vs. Windows
-----------------------------------------
My opinions:
For processors, I must go with Intel. Despite their complete ripoff prices, they've almost always had the leading edge in performance. I don't hate AMD though, I've had many computers with AMD processors in them that I liked very much.
Graphics, NVidia. Again the price for NVidia products is much higher but they do have better performance
Operating system. Hmmm. Windows rules but I like them all. FreeBSD and Solaris are an exception. Never used them
OS X - Well Apple really likes to overprice their machines but they are much more capable on the media side (that does NOT include games). They have done a great job building an operating system and all of their PCs are wonderful as well.
Linux - Very nice because of great command line support. My favorite version of Linux though is Ubuntu
Windows - Nothing beats Windows! It might be the least stable but its the most compatible and the GUI is easily the most intuitive. And as far as games go...I don't think I have to say anything.
