I don't understand. Why would you want to trade your P3 933 for a Mac at a lower clock speed?

[bchalker]

Clock speed is different, but a G4 handles Photoshop better than a PIII (in most cases), which is primarily what I use as a web designer. I've grown to really like OS 9, as well.

I don't play games, so a Mac suits my taste more...still like the PC's though http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

How much for the 256 memory, Are you parting the system out?

Definetly, MAC is the way to go for graphics application users! No doubts on that. People just don't know the real power MACS for graphic workstations! People like to talk **** about MACS when most of them have never even used one!

Take a look:

I also love PC's for their own purposes, I have a Dual Pentium 3 733Mhz , 768MB RAM, SCSI Seagate 18.4GB 10,000RPM hard drive, CDRW, and all the other goodies installed on it. But MAC jams when it comes to graphics applications, especially Photoshop

IMO, I think it would help if Apple started upgrading those ATI128 Rage Chip Cards w/ GTS, Radeon, or something like that to appeal to gamers.

Very True. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

Ummm... not that I have a Mac or are interested in the system you're attempting to unload, but I would like to point out an apparant inconsistency.

It seems that bchalker might not be fully representing his goods here on SysOpt. If I were doing this deal, I would expect that CPU to be a true P3 933, and I would be miffed (and rightfully so) upon reception of a P3 700.

Honesty is the best (and should be only) policy. It may get you into some jams, but it will always get you out of them.

[NDC]

That was a very naughty thing to do bchalker! It's a good thing that Joel pointed this out. I also agree that you musn't mis-represent a product that you're trying to sell or trade. Sooner or later the buying side is bound to find out!

[bchalker]

guys I am really sorry. I don't know why I posted like that. Believe me, I know everyone frequents all the forums, and I would not have done this intentionally. This is the only place it appeared like that, everywhere else was detailed.

I am sincerely sorry...
