Give us some hardware specs and we'll tell you.Hey guys,
Has anyone here thought about buying a new Intel based Mac Pro (they're uber powerful machines) and just running Vista off Boot Camp? I've tried this on a Macbook Pro and it seems to be running smoothly. I'm heavily considering buying a souped up Mac Pro....though I'm not sure how great it'd be for Gaming. Maybe the Mac hardware won't run as smooth on Windows?
What are your thoughts on this?
If that's the case, then it probably comes down to the motherboard. Most of the other components might be decent, but brand name PCs almost always use cheapo motherboards, that are either less than ideal for overclocking, or lacking features, or lacking expansion slots, or only have 1x PCI-E instead of 16x, etc etcDell uses refurbished parts too.
And I've had bad experiences with Dell(my laptop), my first computer was an HP and still works today.
And I'm reformatting the hard drive, doesn't matter what crap its bundled with.

my thought is solaris or ubuntu is free is more stable
why pay for a unix based system when you can download it legit for free?
I find two DVD drives convient. Yes, direct copying is faster this way, and also when self-restoring after a backup is much faster when you can read 2 disks at once (for me at least)
O.O Wii isos have to be burnt at low speeds? sht. I burned all mine at 16x.
That would make a pretty decent setup! Only thing I'd do different is buy 2 80GB drives instead of the 1 160GB drive and have them set in Raid 0.$1936.00
