Hi,
Everytime I tried a mac in a store it locked up on me.
Too hard to use.
I like pc's better.

I was using an iMac at a friends place, when it came up with a kernel panic . . . although this was an early OS X build. Something to do with a mouse and/or mouse driver. We installed a different mouse and the driver and it went fine after that.

Split from Apple Mac vc PC debate thread.
Reason: not debate content.

So, my complaint.
Windows XP does not have blue screen of death?
You think that's cool?
Not really, after 2 days for computer simulation, windows xp CRASHED, it reboot straight away. My two days worth of simulation were gone. It was a Pentium 4, 1.6GHz and 1.5 GB of RAM.

It does have the stop errors, you just have to enable them. Otherwise the system will automatically reboot and leave an administrative alert in the Event Viewer.

Your error was more than likely caused by cheap, bad, memory. If you use a reputable brand of memory such as Kingmax you will not have problems.

Not really, it was more of the fact that particular simulation requires 3.2 GB of RAM.
My usual simulation requires 1.6GB of RAM.

And that stupid motherboard can only handle up to 1.5GB of RAM.

Hi,
I use Windows 2000 , 98 gold and Second Edition and nt4.0 mostly.
They work good with a few problems.

Ah, ok Antony. If it requires 3.2gb of ram, you could compensate with lots of virtual memory, but even that may not work.
