More reasons to NOT buy Apple computers ...
I was planning on avoiding another Apple-related post but I can not resist - reviews of the new Apple desktops are starting to emerge and I could not miss two short comments ...
1. Still overpriced / underpowered - for that amount of money you can build a great 64 bit (also dual-core) Opteron 165 system with 2 GB RAM, 250 GB HDD, nVidia 7800 - and that system will be in the non-overclocked state up to twice faster, probably close to 3x with a little tweaking !!!
2. Apparently you will NOT be able to run Windows XP on the Apple (and chances for Vista are not very clear either) - so in the end you might be far better with the Opteron system above and multi-boot at your own choice XP 32/64, Vista 32/64, Linux 32/64 (and eventually the leaked OSX86 - sorry, 32 bit only).

To bad everything you said was bad is wrong, quad core and able to run vista all in 64bit, so sad for you.
