Hi again, and thanks to all who answered my last topic.

After exhaustive research, I had decided to get a Mac Pro and upgrade DP, but the plugs I want are still not yet Intel compatible. So back to the drawing board.

What PC maker offers a similar product for a comparable price? If I configure a Dell similarly to a Mac Pro, it comes out 500 euros more. (Is this not the world upside down -- a Mac the 'cheap' alternative??)
I must be missing something here. Has Mac really become cheaper than PC, or is there a place I should be looking for a good cost-effective PC?

Thanks

You have an Intel based Mac and you want a PC...
Tried BootCamp?

EDIT:
On second reading, I think I may have misinterpreted you. I guess you just want to see what kind of system you can get at a similar price point to the Mac Pro? In that case I would suggest building a computer yourself. For high-end machines it's usually the cheapest way to go.

Have you tried Newegg? They have a lot of PC laptops. I'm finding that the same hardware is just a bit cheaper. I don't think that the Dell's are a good bargain. Yes, the Mac laptops are very competitive.

What plugs can't you get in UB? I'm changing to hopefully save a few hundred dollars and make my first chemo payment. Pity you can't wait for the UB versions but I understand.

Edit: Oops! I thought you meant Mac Book Pro... sorry...

The real sticking point is Trilogy, but some of the other plugs are Intel public betas, like Toontracks DFH and Custom & Vintage Drums -- OK but makes me a bit nervous. Also, we have PC moving to Vista and Mac moving to Leopard, and it just seems like I should wait a bit more before taking the plunge.
