8-Core
Two 2.26GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon "Nehalem" processors
6GB (six 1GB) memory [six sticks is dead cheap, and to upgrade ram from this yourself would involve chucking ram]
640GB hard drive [lol?]
18x double-layer SuperDrive [not even blu ray]
NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 with 512MB [ok what the....]
This is not a troll, I genuinely don't understand the price tag, the only expensive components are the cpus coming in at ú600max for both, and that's retail/boxed. nice case etc but i can't place at least ú1000.

heh seems apple is bankrolled by students getting into debt judging by that picture :P
this thread really was not a troll, I simply wanted to know, seems apple is a bit like B&O, a design 'powerhouse' whose goods don't outperform cheaper alternatives (absolutely true in b&O case, my NAD/Mission HiFi will happily take on a 10x more expensive b&o in sound quality and win, it looks cack though) but offer lifestyle/home integration in living spaces, aesthetic co-ordination and 'out of the box' inter-operability between entire ranges. of course there are other factors and it's a crude comparison, but basically ball park.
horses for courses, basically.
can you overclock a mac btw :P

i honestly don't know if that's a good or bad thing, honestly i know nothing when it comes down to it, literally nothing.
my experience of windows7 is stable, much more so than the ubuntu and opensuse releases I've tried this year (both shot up errors i couldn't understand/resolve or displayed a quirky message about kernal panic and rebooted or something when windows7 installed and ran without issue), but for our navy...a windows OS...just doesn't seem right.
