Ask me about the last time I got some spyware? Or maybe a virus? How about an IRQ conflict?
I'm not bashing PCs
per se, but I'd rather pay more and get a better machine. They even last longer. Currently I'm posting this from a 1st gen slotloader Graphite Se iMac, made in like 98 or 99. How many 400mhz Pentium with 256 MB of ram do you know that could run WinXP SP2 comfortably and without lag? Cause OS X is running fine on this machine with those specs

to be fair, the question should be can you run freebsd 4.4 on a 400mhz Pentium 2 system with 256mb of ram.
