all depends on your needs. If you're into super editing and need every ability ever made, photoshop is great. I use gimp mostly, can't go wrong with it (mainly cause its free and does alot of stuff)

I just got a Canon Rebel XS, its the 10 mp version with all the bells and whistles. I'm quite happy with it, i did see the XTI, it was a sexy camera indeed.

Hey,
I've been offered a used Dell 2405FPW for $550 (FYI, the 2408 is $1,300 in Sweden, incl 25% VAT), should I go for it? I might get the price down a bit.
i have that monitor, its great. I use it for everything; gaming, photos, all around. You can even hook up a ps3 to it and use it as a cheap hd tv.

This is my current best I think, It's my desktop right now

In Topic: Reasons why I should buy a Mac
26 August 2008 - 07:51 PM
The thing that ticks me off about apple sometimes is they always advertise how powerful there machines are, when something can be built on the windows side for much cheaper.
The mac pros have RAW power to their side, with 8 cores and 1600 fsb, they are the fastest consumer pcs in RAW power out on the market. Sure you could encode stuff on a mac pro faster maybe than a quad core windows machine, but keep in mind you can build an 8 core behemoth that supports crossfire(since the mac pro is a intel 5400 chipset).
PC's have more gaming and multitasking power, period. When it comes to gaming mac's are pretty weak. SLI and crossfire have existed for over 5 years, and mac has yet to adapt it. This is awkward, since their new OS Snow leopard is suppose to use unused gpu power for regular computing. You'd think if mac wants to get wise and say "if we have two cards that would make this faster", hopefully this is the case before it comes out. Hopefully the new mac pro's will use something similar to the skulltrail to allow this
If all you do is game and program, i'd think vista is fine (since is direct x 10 is far superior)
