Im suprised quite a few people in a modding community would rather have a bland mac.

I think thats Ballshat..
To be honest, thats mostly why im installing Leopard on my PC.Jiggah said:What? No, you don't.
Well, according to my Asian friend in the UK he said that.
I asked him because i successfully burned it then it booted up to the apple logo normally for 5 mins. Then it showed me a circle with a cross in it on the stem of the apple logo. I thought it was natural, so i left my PC on for the whole night an it was still there.
So i asked him what the problem was then he said this.
"Haha, Read the tutorial again. You need at least 150GB of space on your Hard drive. "
QUOTE(CyberFish @ Jun 21 2009, 03:40 PM) Im guessing hackintoshing is installing OS-X on a PC. I am kinda interested in this since that is the only OS that you can download the SDK for iphone. Damn apple.

I find it hard to believe that the "king" of mobile gaming only has a 9600M under the hood. The Idea of a discrete GPU is far from new in the world of laptops as well.QUOTE said:The MacBook Pro is considered the king though when it comes to mobile gaming
Just remember that Mac graphics chips are not the same specs as ones in Windows machines, they are usually more powerful to fit with the higher end applications. Not to mention the 9600M GT is still a very good graphics card compared to what other notebooks have. I saw a review of the newest Alienware laptop and it was given some pretty bad reviews due to it's weight, size and heating issues and that compared to a top end MacBook Pro, it's not that much better in the performance department. Not many machines use the uber high 280M chips yet and I would imagine we are a long way off from them being affordable or seen in most machines. And Nvidia rates the 9600M GT as a performance class graphics card in notebooks, the next step up you get into the 130, 230 and 240 before getting into the high performance class. I am surprised Apple didn't opt with the GT 160M as it is considered high performance, but at the same time I believe they wanted something good that wasn't going to suck up the battery life if you were doing some mobile stuff that was graphics intensive.notnarb said:This isn't something that can be summed up in a single post. I personally am against everything Apple, but I enjoy the competition they bring to the OS game, because when products compete, the consumers win. What's unfair is that Apple gets away with things Microsoft is getting threatened with antitrust lawsuits for doing - that isn't cool.
I do hope this thread dies/gets locked soon, so much fanboyism and unjustified claims going on, it's driving me nuts

I fail to see how you can say this. I've seen quite a few laptop which has at least Nvidia Geforce 9600M GT or better.DSGamer64 said:Just remember that Mac graphics chips are not the same specs as ones in Windows machines, they are usually more powerful to fit with the higher end applications.
Uhm, no they're not. They're exactly the same regardless if they're in a Mac or not.
