Mac Pro vs HP Blackbird 002

[TSE]

If you are going to do any gaming besides light gaming, just get the Blackbird. Not even 90% of the people that get Mac Pros need that much processing power. The Mac Pros use server processors. The Blackbird is a great value.

Sometimes in life you can hammer a round peg into a square hole. We have all done this in the past, and when we get away with it, we count ourselves lucky. However, I think the prevailing opinion here is that this in one of theses times that no amount of hammering will help you out.

Your choice a simple…
- 1. A CPU-centric system
- 2. A GPU-centric system

Sorry to be blunt about it, but there you have it.

Is it truly a fact that Windows will function in BootCamp exactly as it would on a PC with like hardware?

Just so you know, BootCamp is not required to run Windows. It just basically helps you with the partitioning and installation process. I have Windows XP Pro x64 on a separate internal drive and I did not use BootCamp to load it. Like any Windows machine, you can pop in an installer disc and easily format a drive and install Windows without any other application. The drivers will be on the Mac OS 10.5 installer disc, unless you choose to run Windows XP Pro x64.

Man, I'm old enough that when I see Blackbird in relation to a computer I still think of this.
