You sound like Microsoft (or any other persistant sales person for that matter. I believe the correct term is up-selling.) Sure the new Macs are nice, and if I had the money I would buy one, but not everyone needs all those features. Sure the Mac may be cheaper than a comparable PC feature-wise, but a deal is only a deal if you take full advantage of it. Sure my home-brew PC doesn't have SATA, Firewire, Bluetooth, DDR2, PCI-Express, Gigabit, 54G Wireless, etc... I have no use for any of these technologies and really couldn't afford the upgrade expense of upgrading all of my "obsolete" AGP and PCI cards, ram, ethernet, wireless, etc...
also: "Also, The ATI Radeon 9600 is a XT version, not the 2 years old Pro version.. :/ wich is slower.. "

sure the Pro version has a slower clock speed, but performance wise it is about the same. http://graphics.tomshardware.com/graphic/20041004/vga_charts-07.htm...
