  6. apple hardware on Vista to Allow "One Significant" Hardware Upgrade · · Score: 1

    apple needs better hardware for gaming the mini has POS gma 950.
    The i-macs have laptop ram, cpus, and videos cards as well as being forced to buy a bigger screen / higher end i-mac to be able to pay more for a better video card.
    The mac pro starting at $2000 - $2500 only comes with a low end 7300 plus it can't use SLI or Cross fire in mac os x and you have to pay $300 to add 1 gigs to it.

    Apple needs a mid-end head-less system with desktop parts and a better choice of video cards.
    NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 256MB base price is $149
    upgrade to ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512MB (2 x dual-link DVI) Add $249
    upgrade to NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 512MB, Stereo 3D (2 x dual-link DVI) [Add $1649]

    Apple hardware sucks

    on the high end you have a high cost system with 2 server / workstation cpus with high cost FB-DIMMS and the base $2000-$2500 mac pro comes with a low end geforce 7300. You can use meny of the better video cards as they need EFI roms.

    The mid end is all AIO with LAPTOP CPUs, Video cards, and RAM.
