Hey.
I have a friend who want to buy a computer. He should spend about 3000-4000$. He is primary going to use the computer for video editing.
He have heard a lot positive about the Mac Power G5, people says that it is a extremely good machine.
I would rather have my friend to buy a AMD or Intel system machine, since Mac doesn´t support any other things than Multimedia. You can´t play usual computer games, and running usual computer apps(for windows based programs).
Should I choose AMD or Intel. Intel used to be the best for compressing and video editing, but have this changed?
So I have set up a AMD system, which cost almost the same as the Mac Power G5 system:
- AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ 2.2Ghz S939 2MB
- Corsair TWINX 2048MB(2x1024MB CMX1024-3200C2) 400Mhz
- DFI Lanparty nF4 SLI-DR
- Hiper 580W Dual fan silent
- Plextor DVD-RW PX-716SA SATA
- Samsung or Hitachi(what is best2) SATA2 8MB/16MB cache harddrive
- 2x(running in SLI mode) XFX Geforce 7800GTX 256MB GDDR3, HDTV, 490Mhz PCI-Express ViVo(is the SLI so good as they say it is?)
Versus Mac Power G5:
- 2x 2.3Ghz PowerPC G5 processor(512kb 2. cache)
- 1.15Ghz buss external
- 2GB PC3200
- ATI Radeon 9600 128MB
I don´t got to much specs for the mac mashine, since I have never had a mac. But are their machines much better than the AMD or Intel machines? As better as their are writing on the Apple web site?
Thanks for help
