No, I just don't like TheCunt_Shadow.

I'm sure we called your bar, unless there is more than one Touch of Class Lounge in Chicago with "Billy the Bartender" discussed in the Yelp reviews.

You have no idea what TC stands for.

Let me get this straight: You're trying to push the limits of your computer... to play movies in iTunes. Okay then, continue on.

x2 I don't get why it's necessary to OC to 4ghz to run itunes.

it's fun to work and push it, like working on a car in your garage while trying to squeeze out more hp and torque. actually i am having a ball playing with this computer like this, from the start of this thread to now its been a bunch of fun..learning more about something i never thought i could, playing with it to see what makes this or that do this or that, and of course understanding more about how a computer works more then i ever have. two things i did in my life i never thought i could were learning to drive a manual and building this computer. my goal was having a working system with the ability to over clock, once i looked at my stock temps for awhile and knew the system worked good with nice air flow then i began ocing. my first goal was 3.2 and my final goal was 3.6, but the temps were so low at that speed i decided to kick it up a bit. i am done with 4ghz and now i want to stress test the piss out of it. my next goal is to bring better air flow at a lower db level (insert Noctua fans here). i have one thermal take 120 in front of the hdd's as an intake and one 23cm fan at the top rear as an exhaust now. i will play with plugging in the rear 120 in again to see if the temps are worth the noise. i plan on adding a 120 noctua in the rear soon and maybe one on the side as an intake. i can also add another 120 on the cooler in a push pull config, but the chance of fan tubulance between the two is keeping me away.

Funny thing, nothing makes iTunes not suck.

itunes only sucks on windows, which makes everything suck

Is the user interface different on Mac? It decidedly sucks on PC in my opinion.

YEEEEAAAAHHHH!

No, it's the same.

[morphsci]

I don't think itunes sucks more on a PC compared to a MAC. It just wants to do things the Apple way, regardless of platform.

[grawk]

it definitely works more slowly, and is clunkier feeling on windows than on a mac.

As to working in an apple way, of course, that's why it's better.

[morphsci]

I really do not notice any difference in speed or accessability when using it on my netbook, where I should notice a difference, compared to the iMac or Mac mini.

The apple way is only better if you are a pome.

[mirumu]

iTunes on my Macbook Pro and G5 tower definitely feels much lighter and faster than the same version on my Windows PC at work. The font rendering and menu location is different too (both inferior on the Windows version).

[bhd812]

my computer is great with itunes, only once in awhile does it "checking itunes lib" when you start the app itself..but its usually for a few seconds.

Rather than disconnecting your fans, get yourself a good fan controller. Then you can dial in the best compromise between noise and cooling performance. Most fans are actually bearable once you slow them down a bit.

yup, that's my opinion as well.
