You forgot to mention that while, yes, the TOTL machine
should have another 512MB of memory ($250 at Apple's
premium prices, less if you go third party), that this machine
also has TWO 2GHz Power4 (PPC970) processor chips. These
chips are very, very fast and 64 bits wide. Without playing
Photoshop benchmark games, collectively, they have enough
throughput to blow away nearly any PC configuration.

BTW, the Radeon 9800 is available. But not everyone is
doing the kind of stuff that will profit from a very-high-
end grapics adapter. In my shop, we certainly wouldn't.
