I work on computers all day, this is my opinion of them (I do earn a living from them though). Be sure to watch the top one first or the bottom won't make sense.

Hanyo .... yes those are the max specs, but in reality... they need 2 cpus just to compete with one intel chip and most macs ship with 512megs of ram out of the box. you are also going to pay about 3,000$ for that system (with 512....1gig if you are lucky) not to mention the monitor is extra. i could build a dual 3+ ghz system from intel for that much money.

if anything breaks on the system....fans, motherboard, etc... you only option for replacement parts is apple and u have to pay for whatever they charge.


every 3 years or so, i take 600$ to the local computer show and buy the latest cpu, motherboard, and ram. thats a great bang for the buck as far as upgrades go.

also you can buy a slower cpu and overclock it and save some money. my current cpu is a 2.8ghz overclocked to 3.0ghz 100% stable on stock cooling.
