Today i rcvd a brand new Mac G5 from a law suit I won. This machine is faster than i've tested on the pc side. Now i don't know much about Apple, and i won't bore u with it's impressive specs ( http://www.apple.com/g5processor ), but the extra hardware and software that came with it is even more amazing to me (tot over $8K). One software is Virtual PC for Mac. Already installed Win2000, WinXP and Linux. All can be run simultaneously along with Mac OS X. The funny part was when I discovered that Windows lack of security could damage/compromise ALL existing OS (trojans, hack, et...).

btw, i'm dl/ul with KL++ using the Win2K and WinXP OS, will install Linux tomorrow. :D :D :D :lol: :lol: :lol:

wtf??
what was the lawsuit (if you don't mind me asking)?

the G5 looks really good, shame there's a lot of controversy over apple's claims about it's power...

It was about a Mac chain store (can't say who), caused me to file ch 11 for my bus. During negot., they were shocked that i'm asking for $$ & this mac. i'm telling u, here's the rundown on KL++:
Win 2K 16 dl / 22 ul
Win XP 28 dl / 13 ul
My other PC (win2k) is 12 dl / 7 ul

can't wait till i install linux :D :D :D :D :D

I could build a multi CPU computer for a lot less than a G5, that would piss all over it. Bang for bucks, they don't add up. Unless you fiddle the test results ....but ... Apple wouldn't do that, would they??

Damb you asked for $4's and a mac thats hularious. If i ever make a movie i would put that in there. That fuckin funny. Congrats on the MAC, i didnt think you could run other OS's, that sounds cool. Are you able to run program that only windows compatible? No not k-lite i mean others. :D

K-lite installs a differant way. Thats why i asked what else have you put on. Also how much ram does that have it looks like 2gigs if so thats a hella of alot. :P
09-09-2003, 08:08 AM

OMG that hella good. I hated MAC's before but i think you changed my mind. The highest a pc goes is 2gig ram and 2 300gig HDD.

not if you get ide converters, etc, ive seen more than that running, servers these days hit 3 gigs of ram and more i think

Great mac nikita, its interesting that youve got xp on it, so all windows programs run on it? like a virtual os?

if so thats great, amazing win dude

I don't think so...
09-09-2003, 01:56 PM

indeed, i was under the impression that many servers were running vast amounts of ram and hard drives

you can run 4 200 gigs as well, with an ide converter in a pci solt i think, although dont trust me on it

edit: just looked at ebay, and look what came up...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...16&category=179

4 gigs of ram...

yeah u can stick 2 250 gig HDD's and 4 gigs of any speed ram Alienware can do that if u customize it.
09-09-2003, 03:49 PM
nikita69

thx all. gimme couple of days or so and i'll start posting some nice screenshots. as for the converter, i'm gonna research it more. As for the hosting of this board, i'm flattered, but thx, at least not for now if the guys want to. i'll be installing linux today, but havent decided which version or OS to put. B) B)

Mac OS X, Win XP, Win 2K, Win 2K (all running at once, no prob.)
