I run a small (35 people) publishing business. Our marketing and design team use Macs for graphic design work (leaflets, web banners, book jackets and so on - no video or more complex work). The rest of us use PCs for office tasks. Increasingly we find it hard to get IT support for the Macs and I would like to move everyone to PCs. However, I have always thought that Macs were superior for creative work and that's certainly the prevailing wisdom in our design department!

However, this thinking dates back at least 10 years. These days are modern PCs and PC software more than up to the job for design work or is there still a great divide? I don't want to hurt our design capability or quality but I'd like some advice on whether moving to all PCs would be a smart move. I'd be glad to hear from any creatives or design managers who have POSITIVE things to say about using PCs for creative work but also any recent horror stories about being forced to give up your beloved Macs.

I am building a computer and I cannot decide which graphics card to get. So far it looks like everything is pointing towards the geforce over radeon. I was originally looking at getting an ati radeon x1900 xtx, but pushed more towards the geforce 7900 gtx. Then, I have also been reading about the new DirectX 10 coming out soon. I need a graphics card so I am not sure whether to get a decent cheaper card for now and then buy later or just buy a good one now. I was even debating getting a good graphics card now and then buying a good graphics card later that supports DirectX 10 (Would they be campatible and work together?) What should I get? I dont mind getting a good graphics card right now, if it is worth it. I will have the asus m2n32-sli deluxe motherboard running an AMD 4600 processor. I am planning on doing serious film editing and possible gaming.

The Upgrades I plan on getting are a XFX Geforce 7600GS 512MB 128-bit GDDR2 AGP 4X/8X Video Card, 1GB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 333 (PC 2700) and a Intel Pentium 4 3.0E Prescott 3.0GHz 1MB L2 Cache Socket 478 Processor....I think the stock Dell Dimensions come with like a 230W-240W power supply, would it be really vital to upgrade it?

my computer frequently freezes during start-up. (usually when searching for the ide-drivers) all I have to do is press ctrl+alt+delete and it restarts and it works fine. what is the real problem and how can I fix it. I know that my computer is set from bios to halt on system errors (if i set it not to halt then I get a loud beep every time I start up and its annoying.) anybody know how to fix the error?

I have two computers that randomly wake themselves up when I have placed them in "sleep" mode. I figured out that for one computer, the problem was caused by the wireless keyboard/mouse. So I just unplug the receiver every time I want to sleep the computer. But the other one has no wireless keyboard or mouse. I'm positive that the system is supposed to stay in sleep mode until you manually wake it up, since my laptop DOES. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

my computer always sounds like it is doing something...making that processing/whirring noise that usually is made when large programs are being run. it does it just when i'm browsing the internet and when it's idle. it's a new computer (dell desktop). is there something that needs to be checked out?
