It may not be effective, but its apples call. I will buy the best comp I can find... and for me that is apple, regardless of proc speed. I am chillin with a 466 chip. Do you know how lame that sounds to my buds? But ask me if I care. No. I dont. I am running the best comp I have ever run and it is old technology (if you want to call it that). My buds at work dont care about how fast word or excel opens, they want an ipod.

Have to agree. I work in the high tech audio industry and we see this spec wars stuff all the time. Just 'cause you have the latest 24bit 192khz audio rig, it does not mean you are going to write a better song. Apple has better hardware and software integration and for most creative processes or indeed just about any task, to be most productive you want the technology to be as transparent and unobtrusive as possible. Which is what Apple is all about.
