Just a short note as to why I will never purchase another Mac. It is so sensative that half of the CD’s I try to use are ejected without playing. This includes some music CD’s, Audiobooks and even a instruction/setup CD for a new modem from ATT. The ATT CD says right on the label that it is for both PC’s and Macs. Sometime if I put the CD in six or seven times it will finally read it. My Mac is a desktop a little over a year old and I abslutely hate it. The only plus is that you don’t need virus protection. Iam going back to a PC with my next purchase. It’s a tossup when I put a CD is as to whether it will be ejected or play. Here I have a brand new modem and can’t use it because I cannot load the software.

If it comes from Apple of course it will be overpriced. Are there cards available from 3rd party manufacturers?

$280?! with the latest cuts prices are as low as $120, so that means a more than double premium!

GTS 512s are as low as $250 and there are some 9800GTXs selling for as low as $300!

Anyone that would pay such a premium just to use OS X is either out of his mind or too rich ;)
