Doren, This is a rehash of the "clone" dilemma -- who could get small quantities of the fastest chips when Apple, who had to have enough to ship in quantity, couldn't. Clone-makers (Power Computing) also hot-rodded the (7200-based) motherboards to get faster overall bench scores. Also remember that you're going to have to depend on the upgrade supplier to guarantee OSX compatibility -- 'cause Apple's sure not going to do it. Yes, within a narrow product range you're dealing with a "functional" monopoly (not "legal" given Apple's limited overall marketshare), but would you rather be buying from a company that's going out of business? You think the clone wars marked the MacOS's Golden Age?
