I need a powerful machine for rendering and stuff like that.
Have a look at my channel on Youtube if you´re interested in the results of my projects (link is in my signature).
A nice side effect is that I´m able to play the latest games with the best settings

Oww @ DC, you nailed me with these things, i'm dead (nothing really special but if i have like this)...
What's the model or the manufacturer of your desktop tower, just for curiosity?
@ cortz: Well, probably not.. I wonder how windows goes there... Was is it a pain to install it ? I mean, apple security is insanely ridiculous and I kinda imagine how annoying it was for you to "unlock" its BIOS and stuff...
@ cortz: Nowadays there are few people in the world who are using macs and if i remember i saw someone a relative that have a mac but i'm not sure 100%.
And someone told me macs are pretty expensive.
Nevermind, i should upgrade the HDD too but i don't have enough money for that so i will stay with these specs at the moment.
Scaleo T CPU: Intel Pentium 4 3.00 GHz GPU: Well, it's not much different than VGA but ... Nvidia GeForce FX 5500 RAM: 1 gig HDD: Can't be arsed to search for the brand but I got a 70 gig hard drive OS: Thought about upgrading to Win7 but I doubt it will be any better, Windows XP.
I can run CS2D on high settings with this bad boy!
@ _Yank:
That was probably a long time ago. They've had BootCamp for awhile now, so all I needed to do to install windows was get it on a usb and download the drivers for it. Then it handles everything else, including the partitioning..etc.. for me.
@ GeoB99:
Probably depends on where you are then. I go to an art college, so everyone has a mac in hand. And yes, it's tearfully expensive
@ Elfing: Actually, 7 has lots benefits over XP such as more security, new APIs (which means more programs and features), more modern look, better monitoring and such.
With that I assume that you're on XP because you only want performance and simplicity. Well, I recommend you to upgrade to 8.1 since it outperforms XP in most of cases and also, features more modern things and that.
