I understand that the value of Apples don't make it a completely straight comparison, but it's hard to find a $700 PC without a gig installed. The same amount as the mac mini!?

The *big* question is what kind of a future this last high end PPC machine has. A little voice tells me to wait for the Intels. It figures that Apple would pull a quad core machine out of their hat.
