PANTHER will be my birthday present to myself.
Here comes my two cents on the Mac vs Windows debate. I use Windows at work (DTP stuff) and Mac at home. I find each has its advantages and disadvantages. Not knowing much about the technical side I tend to notice operational differences.
OS
Mac's OS X is more pleasant to the eye. The aqau blue interface is pure eye candy. Windows OS is, at best, bland.
Finder
Mac's finder sucks big time. Everything has be done from a menu. Windows is the clear winner here. Click a button while selecting a file and you can find out everything you need to know.
Browsers
Camino and Safari are unbelievably fast, IE for Mac is a piece of junk. IE for Windows does not have tabbed browsing and it's too slow.
OS stability
Mac sometimes crashes. Windows (in my experience) crashes rarely.
Mac vs. Windows: It's clearly a case of apples versus oranges.

Don't wanna get the Mac vs. Window thing going again.
Just wanted to say though, you should try Avant browser for Windows, I use that, Love it. The actual blowser it's self is still IE, but it's tabbed and has a pop up blocker and a lot of other stuff, so it's more like an extention or plug in for IE, but it's way better.

Hey vlad, why did you get an AMD for gaming? AMD is much better than Pentium in Photoshop, not gaming.
Hitman, umm, how do I say this, are you stupid or something, lol, j/k. Anyhow, why an LCD, you obviously don't have a PC that can support all the games at high resolution, so why LCD? Their image quality sucks so much unless it's at the highest resolution they can support. I would understand that if you'd have a really good PC for games that you upgrade once in a while but what you have with an LCD is beyong me. Mafia is a really awesome game and I don't think your PC will probaly never run it smoothly at the resolution your LCD supports best. Personally I would only get an LCD if it is used for anything that does not require different resolutions or if they somehow made one that can be as universal as a CRT.
But that's just me with my stupid ideas.

Well I'm not saying that crts always have better image quality, I'm saying that crts can show good pictures at a wide range of resolutions which lcds just can't do. Since you don't have a state of the art machine you won't be able to run the new games on the high resolution that an lcd requires you to. Wich teanslates into either the required resolution with low frame rates and good picture or bad picture since the lcd can't handle it with high frame rates. A crt can deliver the low resolution as well as high resolution with the same picture quality, the only difference beign the refresh rate. To see what I'm talking about, go to your desktop settings and lower the current resolution. The lcd will try to immitate bigger pixels with it's current smaller pixels and when a border of a bigger pixel goes in the middle of the smaller pixel you've got something that doesn't look pretty at all.

Whenever I see those Apple introductions I always feel like laughing, it seems that every time Steve Jobs introduces something it goes like this. "I am proud to introduce to you, the new iG6. It is powered by dual G6 processors running at 2.0ghz. Our unbiased benchmarks show that it is over 30 times faster then the Intel P4 3.2ghz." I'm just like, WTF?!?!?[???1]
