A Mac is only $100 more. Worth it IMO.
Not rly.  :P

He wouldn't be having all of this support run-around if he had a Mac. Apple's support is, in most cases, awesome.
Too bad their product sucks so horribly.
they're all fucking jews.  if I could build my own from scratch I would

I've heard that AMD chips run faster but hotter, so they're bad for laptops. But that may have changed.

Yeah, until you lose/break the AC adapter for your laptop and have to drop $80 for a new one. It all comes with a price, and in Apple's case its insanely high.

They're bad for traveling laptops, but as a desktop replacement they're not bad. I still wouldn't recommend anyone get an AMD over an Intel on a laptop for now.

Been there done that, but not with my Mac...so it's not just Apple. My replacement was about $100 btw.

well, I kept the gateway.

DWM.exe is a MEMORY FUCKING WHORE. (vista desktop manager)
That + FireFox = SHIT  >:(  Maybe I'll buy another gig of Ram

It's not DWM, it's the Gateway.  Gateways are terrible.

Task Manager is NOT an accurate representation of memory consumption. It includes shared memory when it displays the information. Even so, when the DWM is running the old subsystem in place for legacy reasons (Windows XP's rendering stuff basically) is turned off. I'm willing to bet that they take up about the same amount of memory if not more by a small margin.

Unused memory is wasted memory, as stated before the memory manager on Vista will cede priority to Applications which need it (ReadyBoost and SuperFetch come to mind as ones that would free up their memory to give to a hungry application)
One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.
