I'm quite sure if you didn't decide to "push the limits", you wouldn't have many of the crashing issues you have now (like tring to run Crysis on a x4500hd and "tweaking" your drivers to run it - btw, it doesn't lok good, but it runs) But then, I re-image (all - mac included) my computers every 2 months, so what do I know? Whoops… some misspellings there 8O

Also, Apple bisically took open source software and turned it into crap. Seroiusly, you cannot run OSX on anything but a Mac, and a Windows PC is always going have issues over that because it must support as many builds as possible. Look at game counsoles. Ever wonder why they can play all those games, while the actual tech spacs of these consoles really just... suck? Because every computer build is different. And don't give that "3rd party RAM" junk. I got my warrenty voided over it. (MacBook standard, decided to get a good 2gb of RAM instead of 1gb -which will barely run OSX+apps) Also, note, I had to pay a good 10USD just for a software update that came with later released Touches and “2.1′s” that had it.
