Gear has been ordered

Posted by ronald in Gear on August 5th, 2008

I’ve made my choice. I’ve been playing a bit with Steph’s Mac and it occured to me that I’m a larger controlfreak then I thought I was. And above all: I’m now saving loads of money and will have a speedy pc which (hopefully) will stay with me for quite some years.

The specs:

  • P5E-V HDMI (motherboard)
  • Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 (processor)
  • 8GB DDR2-800 (internal memory)
  • 250GB SATA2 7200 (harddisk)

The motherboard has an integrated video-card, which is fine by me as the specs of the onboard card are better then my current videocard (omg…).Hope it will be delivered before I’m on holiday :). What I like about the shop I bought it from: they deliver their systems with Linux only…

It’s quite a hard choice really. Now that I’ve seen the Mac-Book of Steph (Congrats on your birthday Steph!!) I’m starting to talk myself into an Apple computer.

She noticed I relentlessly tried to name all benefits of having an Apple computer, without mentioning the fact that a Mac is far more expensive then a PC. This while, for my goals, it’s absolutely unnecessary. At least, I think it is. To ensure I will make the correct choice, I’m creating a list of some pro’s and cons I found for both platforms. But first: my personal goals with the computer I’m going to buy. Read the rest of this entry »
