The latest P4s have serial ata drives, making a RAID 0 configuration. That basically allows you to have a superb system, that's fast and reliable, for little cash.
Compare prices. Obviously, the Mac crowd is there because the love their machines regardless of cost or performance (I am not saying they don't perform, just that it's not the largest issue).
The PC crowd is going on a PERFORMANCE vs. COST ratio, PERIOD. I buy what I can afford that offers the best perfromance. Speed is what I care about.
I don't care if it has an Intel chip or AMD, just what's better for the cost and more reliable.So far, in my years of research and buying machines, nothing compares to the price/performance/reliability/su... of a Dell.
But now that AMD has the 64 bit Opterons out, I will look at brands like BOXX that use that chip.
I care about performance over looks.
What do you care about?
