        no, I am currently just a little on the wrong side of even...

        which is pretty good considering I spend more than half my take home pay on rent

        and have a car loan

              Well you're going to have to curb that...I consider myself to be paying a large proportion of my income on my rent but nowhere near that proportion...

                It's the one thing that annoys me.

                I read somewhere that the new Intel Macs actually run XP faster than Dell's crap.

                About time you left the Dark Ages, PH....
                My 2+ year old Dell is able to run XP, Civ4, WoW, Half Life2, Doom3, etc with only 256MB of RAM...

                  Civ4 must be one hell of a strain on that!

                    There is only a slowdown in the 1000s AD usually. It can be temporarily fixed by restarting Civ4 and then I'm usually good for at least an hour intially, but then only a half hour later.

                      It's funny how you'd expect a game like Doom 3 or Half-Life 2 to be the more demanding

                        yeah seems hard to believe, unless the rest of the machine is like Gods own personal PC.

                          Well, they are straining in their own ways. When it's a strain then it's a strain....when your system is like mine it's hard to tell between Civ4 and some FPSes.

                              I have been interested in the Mac Mini, just to play around with, but it seems they've decided to take the $500 price and jack it up (to $600 for the cheapest one). Then, of course, I'd have to buy one of those contraptions that allows me to plug in all the peripherals into a switcher (allowing one monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speakers for two computers). Bah... maybe I'll just get an XBox 360 instead.

                                There's no point in getting a MacBook.

                                Acer makes the MacBook and for the same price has a rig that outclasses the MacBook in every way, without the ApplePremium.

                                Not sure why you'd want to run an operating system with a very limited selection of operating software (kind of the point of an operating system if you ask me), and rebooting into different OSes is a real pain.
