    Hey peoples~,
    I have a few questions i hope you can answer to me

    I have two computers i can buy

    the first is Apples iMac:
    http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_mac/family/imac?mco=MTE3MDQ

    The second one is this:
    http://www.frys.com/product/5954624?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG

    First is what do you think about both of them?
    second is that do you think more sluted for a programmer
    thired is my disired for the computer is that - i want to be able to program to Windows using C# and C++ games and normal software, i want to be able to program websites using PHP and ASP.NET and want to run games (not so high, like Harry Potter 6 and next that will release, World Of Worldcrapt, Crysis etc...) So what more sluted for that?

    Forth is what more powerfull?

    and the last is that - i asked someone about both of them and he said that even if the mac is core 2 duo and the GateWay is quad the mac more powerfull becuse the computer build diffrent, is it true?

    Thanks for all you help!

    Yahav.

    I think the second one is more suitable for you especially you want to do Windows programming. It is more powerful... I think.

    Second One overkills the first one and the CORE 2 is a predecessor of the Core i7 which is also quad and i don't know how a mac with 4GB Ram + a Core 2 could beat a i7 950 with 9GB of Ram

    Yep, the second will rip through applications. With an i7 you can do almost anything. However if you can take the time to learn, build a computer yourself. You'll learn a valuable skill and save several hundred dollars.

    Both are good, just go for the second. If you take the first one, then you MUST add memory

    I echo the others, second one is best-suited for your needs.

    Second is better for everything but gaming due to the lack of a graphics card.
