VIDEO GAMES

[Marduk]

Just a disagreement on definition (hrmm, where have we seen this before?) If you're defining it solely based on the OS, then I have to back off my somewhat strong-handed position and simply posit that for gaming, Windows is better than Mac or Linux.

And for systems, Alienware trumps all.

for gaming, Windows is better than Mac or Linux.

Absolutely. And that's why I also have Windows on my Mac. If I was a huge gamer (and had money for a second machine), I would get a Windows desktop.

Speaking of which, my husband and I built a computer with a nice graphics card only to find out it had some bugs with Starcraft 2. It was a sad day... I just hope they patch it.

More likely is that the video card will have updated drivers that are more compatible.

And Tao, Alienware only trumps in price. Anyone with a decent knowledge of computers can build something comparable to any of their machines, and for half the price.

Unfortunately I installed the most recent drivers, but it's just the way this particular card works with the game.
