Harry, I know some people that are Mac addicts. They wouldn't use

the typical CPUs and components used in PCs?

I don't see how that could be, as the main ingredients are pretty
much
the same quality, and depend more on price. If you buy certified
memory,
you are getting something that may be better than uncertified
memory.
The drives are the same, the cpu's are the same, the ergonomics are
a
lot different.

The CPU's are the same?
Just goes to show how ignorant I am about computers. Last I knew,
Apple
had their own CPU's.

Intel is now making Apple CPUs.

Well, isn't *that* special.

So, what's the difference between a Mac running Windows (I've read that
it
can) and a PC running Windows?

When a mac runs windows, it's slow.

Even on an Intel Mac? I can see the slowness problem when running in a
"virtual window".- Hide quoted text -

Any instance I've seen where someone rns Windows on a Mac, it seems to
slow the hell out of it, mainly because it's really being used as an
add on, as opposed to the real operating system, I think.

Were they Intel based Macs? There is no reason that I can think of that
Windows would not run just fine on the Intel versions. Widows is installed
in it's own partition right along side Leopard which is in it's own
partition. Then a dual boot utility is used to select the OS for booting.
