Mine started acting strangely lately, namely it got old and grumpy and it won't let you run it easily without keeping it in the lowest power setting.

This apple seems nice and juicy but then I'll probably need windows applications. Could it be a logical solution to get it and dual boot windows (and trio-boot linux)?

Would it be just like any other windows pc, or will it kick back?

are they so unreliable? my main concern is durability.

this brings up an odd topic, how is windows any better?

and what would winantosh of been like if they didn't split up the original group? [winatosh is my name for them]

my mac experienc is minimal at best, how ever, owning a mac is only better if your a image editor by profession or something along the lines....

btw, I found out Toshiba offers on a significantly lower price a 2-card SLI one.

In my case it's not a matter of what's best when I use windows, but what software at least for the time being I'm obligated to run as efficiently as possible which surprise-surprise, they only run on windows (reliably and fast).

The main problem of alternative operating systems is not something they have themselves but third party software support (which includes games).

i'd say 8/10 calls i get are to repair something with our apple products or them not doing what they're supposed to do.just a big hassle in my opinion. Hell one of them magically erased the contents of its hard drive overnight when it was turned off.
