    I was talking about running only Windows, not as dual boot :D

    But some people just don't like the dull look of PCs. If only Apple could spec up with decent hardware, especially Video cards, then they would be nice ....Life without wire clutter and junk :D
    Well apple also using same type of hardware like Intel processors/chipsets, Nvidia, ATI video cards etc.. So i can't see any huge performance gain from apple hardware.
    Apple design their hardware in really nice way but you can do that with PC too.
    PC hardware is totally open platform and lot of competition in the market. So lot of innovative technologies come up and in the same time every manufacturer trying to compete with each other by giving the best product at cheap price than it's competitors. So we as buyers get the best product we like for a cheap price.
    But when it comes to apple hardware its a closed hardware platform.
    Mostly they name it and set the price and we buy it. No competition.
    They sell the same PC hardware with many times higher price tag.

    You are comparing commonly available cheap PC hardware and designs to apple hardware which is like 5 times more in price. Just compare with good PC hardware and they are better than apple's hardware. They have features like better silent cooling, better memory chips used, better looks and designs, additional functionality depending on the manufacturer etc..

    As i think Mac's are great because their Mac OS and superb application software. Hardware is good too but can't compete with PC hardware when it comes to both features and price. I am trying to overclock PC hardware and run Mac OS on it and check the performance gain. Anyway if overclocking works well then you can create a Mac which is faster than the fastest real Mac on earth very easily.

    i cant think why ppl spend tons of mony for buying LCD monitors

    Disadvantages of LCDs​
    arrow_brwngry.gif

    Fragile screen; may result in both screen and backlight lamp damage if touched or handled. Thus, not recommended in environments where it may be handled roughly.

    Contrast ratio causes darkness to not be displayed true. Darkest areas may be viewed as dark gray rather than black.
    arrow_brwngry.gif

    Designed only for one optimum resolution; can't adjust images.
    arrow_brwngry.gif

    Best view of screen is straight-on, limiting clarity and colors of information for those viewing from an angle.
    arrow_brwngry.gif

    The backlight is the potential weak link and its failure can be costly. Many warranties only cover it for 1 year.

    1. Monitor screens are not supposed to be touched (unless it is a touch screen) whether it is LCD or CRT. If you want to feel the touch, go touch something else :D

    2. True. But the blackness has improved over time, though it will never be black.

    3. Native resolution is where the text is clear, and what should be used for image editing. You can play games at lower resolutions, especially if it is FPS rather than RTS.

    4. Think of it as an advantage. Prying eyes can't see what you are doing, from a distance :D

    5. From what I understand, everything related to PC components is a function of luck and few other things.

    To the good points:

    1. No glare off the screen

    2. Small space taken

    3. Less power consumption, and less heat. If you are in Sri Lanka, one thing you don't want it more heat in the room. :D

    4. No screen flickering

    There maybe more advantages :D

    Its better to use a separate HD if you are a beginner. Because you can end up with a data loss or unable to boot windows again. First get the OSX to run without any problems after that you can think about a multi boot system.

    There is no way like step by step machan, its totally depending on your hardware.
    First download an OS release which match your hardware. Then install it. Next part is patching and editing files until you get all the hardware parts working correctly.

    Yes but old systems like SSE2 will have problems. New systems will work mostly but you will have to spend lot of time testing and patching. Sometimes it will work flawlessly. So totally depending on your hardware.
    Machan what do u mean by patching? :baffled: we have to patch the installation dvd or its something else? ah will give a try after al :P new pc also coming soon ne :P :rofl:

    1. There are LCD monitors designed with rough casing with shock proof etc..
    LCD works well in higher altitudes too.

    2. New LCD monitors have very high contrast ratios. They are improving and coming closer to real black. But its hardly noticeable now since Apple also uses LCDs in the name of Cinema Displays as monitors for their Mac Pro production environments which are basically used for video editing and graphic applications.

    3. Can adjust resolution but will not give the sharpest picture which is known for LCD.

    4. New LCDs can go near 178° horizontal/vertical in viewing angle. So its almost full 180°

    5. Backlight replacement is costly but manufacturers improve it day by day so new LCD monitors have 3years warranty including the backlight replacement.


    If you think about the advantages of LCDs over CRT you’ll get lot more brightness and sharpness with flicker free image performance than CRT.
    Unlike CRTs, LCDs works well with environments such as electromagnetic fields, heat, humidity etc..

    Very low power consumption, easy on move since its light weight and takes only small amount of space. Better lifespan than CRT. No stain on eyes.

    @GTRZ
    Downloading is not the problem finding the version which will work with your hardware and patches for them is the main task. Check the links i have given you machan. There are lot of methods to run Mac OS depending on your hardware.
