Cause i was wondering why apples are lower speeds then PC's, From what ive read is cause Apples are wayy better, better processors and better Graphics as well as reliablilty and capibility.... Should i start with an older iBOOK Clam Shell or get a new one. I also play some games like Warcraft , Doom, Etc....Doom is the most powerful game that needs the most to play it. Just lookin for some more input!! Might go for the iMAC g5 all in one machine, 17'' model

I would recommend something that would be able to run Mac OS X Tiger efficiently and decently. Any Power Mac G4 system would be worthy of Tiger...just make sure you have a good video card that supports Quartz Extreme and enough RAM...512 MB is a good start.

Oh, and so that you know, "Mac" is short for Macintosh. It's not an acronym, so you don't have to type it in all caps like MAC or IBOOK or IPOD. Lots of people new to the Macintosh do that, I guess it's because they're so used to seeing "IBM" and "PC" since those are acronyms. Just something to note.
