vote and tell me if you think that a g5 mac can beat an alienware desktop

[TrIx]

my friend is a mac man and he said to me that an alienware computer will not have a chance at havein his mac so here it is vote and tell me what you think would be best at benchmark and i will put the results out to prov my friend wrong.....alienware elite........ :CTF:

[STEvil]

You have a G5 already according to this post, why dont you do the tests yourself then tell us?

[pik-ard v1.1]

what benchmark?

[stayfrosty]

Ummm a self built overclocked machine would beat out both of those and would cost less than half as much

[TrIx]

i beg to differ the alienware alx is clocked to the very limits of design its takes comperssor cooling to keep it at -30

[TrIx]

benchmark05 will be the test media :toast:

[masterofpuppets]

Both suck, but I am going to say a G5 would beat a Alienware since the G5 is 2x 2.8GhZ 64bit PPC-based CPU's and Alienware is 1x Athlon64 or P4.

we are running fx55 in the alienware but i have to put my money on the alienware because of it grafic power :banana:

[pik-ard v1.1]

i have to put [all] my money on the alienware
;)

you'll get no respect here showing off something that you just bought, and plugged into a wall.

[Der_KHAN]

trix,
what will be the exact specs and cpu clocks of that alx?
and whats the price?

[Disposibleteen]

true that, you didnt build that beast, you plugged it in

not to hate but if that is truly Xtreme than anyone with $3000, a credit card, and half a brain could be considered Xtreme

[TrIx]

iam not say that iam xtreme for buying it iam just saying that i want to put two factory build computers agaist each other to see which is better that the other this is my point and that is all... i have a home made computer clocked and stuff but i wanna see factory build power no moding

Well, the new G5's can come with an optional 6800, so the graphics wouldn't hold it back much. Plus like masterofpuppets said, the macs have 2 2.8ghz 64bit CPU's, where as the alienware only come with 1 amd64/P4. I'd have to say the mac would win

[Disposibleteen]

i still dont know, one of my friends has an alienware and it is pretty darn fast, i dont know too many people with Macs, i do know they kick butt in multimedia tasks like video and photo editing though but on second thought, my machine kicks butt at those too and its not even that great!

The ALX has a cheezy watercooling system. It doesn't have a phase change unit inside.

I always liked comments like:

"I own one and it Rocks!"

Pros: Fastest computer I have ever used (I couldn't build one this fast if I tried and I know what I'm doing). This system has consistently given me what I consider an advantage when gaming. A real System for Real Gamers.

Cons: You get what you pay for....no Cons accept I had to save a little longer to buy this system.




Thumbs Up "Godlick PC killer"


Pros: Uber Crazy high end gear is always pricey

Cons: If you want cheap by a Dell..... Its like buying a Kia you get junk This ALX is a Ferrari :-)


If that hunk o' poo is a Ferrari, then what is a fugger triple cascade system considered?


These guys don't even realize how noob they really are.. at least admitting you know jack all about performance is respectable. :D

[Disposibleteen]

all im saying is that alienware is a way for normal people with no computer literacy to get a half ass game performing PC

LOL, yeah. I just feel bad for those people... a few weeks of research and they could do it on all their own for half the cost.

[Disposibleteen]

yea, its kinda sad, it almost makes me want to help them all

yer but the differnce is that you have a garantee with the thÃ:banana:ng to i mean if you spend waht 600 dollars or more aón a good grafic card and mod its and it gets screwed then your 600 down the people you buy alienware have the modding and they have the grantee for it too....if it breaks down
