[QUOTE="Stretch, post: 343895, member: 25432"] Welcome to M-F. 1. No one knows when Leopard will be released, other than Apple. Upgrade costs are nothing like Windows, so you can buy now and not worry too much. Plus, if you do decide to upgrade, it will be almost like you got another new computer. 2. Mac Pros use normal SATA drives, so any SATA drive should work once formatted. 3. Yes, but if you plan on doing this, I would [b]NOT[/b] suggest buying a Mac, go look at a Dell or something else. 4. No, Apple's card have different firmware for the Apple OS. As for what the previous poster said, I have no idea if PC cards will even work if you are running just windows. 5. If you are running Mac OS X on the MAc and Windows on the PC, then I'd say that the Mac will be equally as fast, or faster, but I'm not 100% positive on this. 6. That type of RAM is expensive. Whether you get it from Apple or 3rd party, either way, its expensive. As for Apple's being more, not always true. I've seen Apple's be cheaper than some reputable 3rd party sellers. [/QUOTE]
