Dell has been shipping 8 core systems for a good while now. The Precision 690 I have here at may desk has the option for up to 8 cores. Mine has two, dual core Xeon's. Specwise, the Precision 690 pretty much demolishes the Mac, and you can configure a far more powerful PC for less money than the Mac.

Back in August, I argued this point. I would speculate that if I were to reprice this again, the Dell would be even cheaper than the Mac AGAIN.

dude its not cheaper. As I said before if you buy the ram and hard drives from somewhere other than Apple they are the same price. Also I like having Macs in the studio because you don't need to worry about virus's or spyware. Less maintenance in general. In fact the Total cost of ownership is MUCH lower with apple products.

That might be true in the States but not here. Guess there's more of a market for Apple stuff there.
i agree with dream ... macs are dumb reliable... i never even turn my off.. i never defrag like i had to contantly do with my pc, and i watch porn and surf the net and download shit with the same unit i record on, and have some (k)ed plugins and my shit works properly evrytime... they require like 0 maintenance.. imo a mac pays for itself .... but at the time same dont buy into they hype that u need all this 8 core shit just to make music... i got wifey a dell pc a little over a year ago shits already fucked, operates mad slow and has got spyware up the ass...which i gotta pay for to get good protection against.... for her birthday i got her a macbook... smooth sailing.... my imac is well over 2 years stong right now under daily use never turn it off no odd hiccups and prolly only had to restart it about 5 or 6 times since i owned it.

Hardly. I build a PC, I don't touch it again unless I upgrade something. That's what I call ZERO maintenance. TCO for someone like me is ZERO past the initial investment. I don't worry about virii because I'm smart enough to know how to keep them off my PC FOR FREE (Free AVG Anti Virus keeps a PC clean!). Honesly, if you took a PC off the internet and simply stuck it in a studio, there would be no difference between it and a Mac. No chance of virus infection, no chance of spyware.
Macs are good for people that don't care to know how to maintain a computer.
PC's are good for people that can maintain a PC or aren't afraid to learn how to do it.
Honestly, I wish more of the people that end up with Virii on their PC would buy macs. That's who they're designed for, people that can't figure out how to keep their PC's virus free.

"PC's are good for people that can maintain a PC or aren't afraid to learn how to do it."
What about code bloat, I know how to maintain a PC and after about a year of use it is running slower and slower, then I have to clean the registry clear the cache's defrag scan, blah blah blah. Macs just work with no issues unless they are hardware. I guess I am going to pick the computer that just works. Why spend the time on maintenance when I could be making music?

From now on I invalidate Relics opinion on computers, he hardly uses the one he has because he is a "Hardware" guy and can only rock an MPC. So there!

Even if I wanted to switch to Apple, (which I don't), I couldn't. FL Studio isn't compatible with the MAC yet.
