I have Built a PeeCee with ECS K7s motherboard with a Duron 1.3 GHz processor and a Geforce 3 ti card and it blows my mac out of the water with games.(I hate to say that) I do not use it for anything other then games. However you can build a PC for pennies on the dollar compared to purchasing a new Mac. So I love my Mac and I use it on a daily basis, but when it comes down to which computer I want to use to get the best graphics and frame rates in my games, I use the PC. Cheap and fast, not to reliable. When I want to check Email, use Photoshop, iChat, iCal, iTunes, browse the internet or anything else I use my wonderful Mac. Actually I have two G4's, a Beige G3, a iBook, a performa 6214 and a PeeCee. Matthew -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
