notitallmr: not sure what i said that was techno bable, but her it goes again. ill try to be easier to understand.
ok, mac computers are expensive. for the same price, you can get a pc that blows teh mac at that price out of the water, in all of speed, hard drive space, components (disk drives, usb and firewaire ports, esata ports, which macs do not have), memory, and internal component quality. this is especially true, if you build the machine yourself.
also, teh new macs use intel chips. now personally i would rather have a machine built for the intel chip, then have one that had to be redone so tha tthe intel chip could work for it. lets say you have a lamborghini. it dies. the engine is good though. so you take it out and put it in your new porche. you might be able to get it to work, but it isnt the best option.
