But if you're dual booting, you get your choice of OSX or XP. X 10.5 will include the dual booting software (Bootcamp) with the OS. Unfortunately it's not due out until Spring 07.

It seems like with the Mac I sacrifice the big screen and video memory (basically gameing) for the ability to run both OS'.

I've taken the first class on becoming Mac Help Desk Certified. So I know my way around it. It's just that knowledge not used is lost....

The new macs run on Darwin a modified version of BSD. It would benefit to go this route and kill 2 birds with one stone and learn Darwin as well. Will give any resume' a boost knowing Windows, Mac OS, Darwin (Linux, Unix, BSD). Much more benifical than running games. Thats what Gaming PC's (XBox's) are for.

Hmmm, here's a plus. The HP seems to be Linux compatible.

Most Intel PC are linux compat. I really don't know any that aren't.

why would you buy a mac....its just an overpriced pc really.....the mac os does nothing besides look cool lol(that cant get a virus thing is BS if people prominently used macs over PC's there would be alot more virusus written for mac lol). an xbox is NOT a gaming PC the PC is still far superior in graphics and patches/support after the game is released

my vote get the PC
