I think I'm gonna chill for a few months... gonna take a good look where Intel is going when the Intel iBooks are released and decide to wait a bit longer and go for merom. As far as a production machine... I built my own AMD 64 4000+ gaming rig booting Gentoo Linux and XP so as far as having a machine to work on at home I'm fine... as far as being mobile, I'll get a war driving kit and do some fun mods to this giant old laptop to somehow integrate the antanee into the case.... gonna be a wild design frenzy but a good thing to keep my mind off my lack of a good mac attack. I convinced about five of my friends to get macs and one to even use Linux (sorry nixgeek but I got them running on MEPIS Linux, Ubuntu is great but it was too big of a gui shock for him). The penguin has done me well and I think I can manage a few more months.... Thanks for all the help, if you all have anymore thoughs lay em down.
And on a side note, the most mobile gaming I'm gonna be doing is StarCraft... I love that game...
And maybe some Warcraft III or other RTS... The big first person shooters like Doom3 and Call Of duty 2 can stay on my desktop.
