That is really a great price for a quad machine. To build a comparable PC like that, two Dual-Core Opterons at 2.4Ghz would set you back over $2,400 alone. Then you'd need the moth…

I'm glad to see a few more people realize the move to Intel is foolhardy. Too bad our opinions aren't of any consequence to Apple. . .
