    ati and nvdia chip sets are a lot better then the intel chip sets and there on board video is a lot better as well.

    Too bad that the low end macs have crap video and you are forced to get a AIO just to get good video with paying for a high end workstation with high cost server cpus and ram.

    Also if apple wants to be a viable Windows alternative they will have to let a lot more hardware work with mac os X.

    and there are pc that at same price that come with good video it is bad when a old $50 video card is better then gma 950. Come on apple you can do better gma 950 is the worse on board video chip out there.

    the low end iMac for education also has the same video and they still only come with 512 ram.
    apple needs a good mid-ragne head less mac with a real video card to stand to dell and others.

    all of those do not work well with pc's games VMWare has no 3d. Deep Freeze will have to updated every time there is a new game update and any type of on line games is worse as they need to down load maps and other new files form the server.

    A lot of games do not work with User level access. Some will not run at all with out admin. Also some Virus Protection software for home users do not update if you are not a admin.
    and you will need to install every game update, add on, mod, and so on if you try to lock it down.

  20. Re:what an odd view on 'Perfect Storm' of Mac Sales on the Horizon? · · Score: 1

    No more on board video that eats up system ram it is bad enough that some Macs only come with 512 ram adding to that is ppc apps need more ram to run on a Intel system then they do on a ppc system.

  21. Re:Competition on 'Perfect Storm' of Mac Sales on the Horizon? · · Score: 1

    Apple will get no where with it high prices and use of low end hardware like gma 950 and only 512 ram come on you can do better for that price. Gma 950 eats about 80 Megs of ram and PPC apps use more ram on Intel systems so apple should have all systems coming with 1gig of ram minimum. Likely the new Mac pro will be at prices where you can get a good pc with 2 video cards where with the Mac pro will not be able to use cross fire or sli at all and they will use FB-DIMMs for ram.

    If apple wants to have big sales they will need to have a good mid end head less system with upgradeable video in a slot. I think that $800 - $1500 is a good price for a system like that.
    People do not want to be forced to get a AIO just to get descent video in a mid range system.

    Gma 950 sucks for games and will like be slow in windows vista.

    I also thing that people as willing to pay for osX86 to run on there own pc's apple can make a lot of money off of that.
