macs r not cheap! But they've always had a graphics advantage over pc's even though that diff is not so much nowadays. I prefer the way the processor handles data & they way the os handles ram. Not to mention windows was a copy of a version of macos that was decided to not be used. mac is designed to be easy to use. But depending on how u use it, it can be less than easy as well if you get further down to low level os use. eg-unix, scripting, etc. But it can depend whether you're a novice or not at that level.

Speaking of G5 (and completely out of subject), have you guys seen the new G5 iMac? Boy, I'm gonna get me on of those (...). In my dreams I already have one, hehe

Again, totally out of topic, I've seen pics of it. But still, I'd prefer expansion room. I'd eat the whole cake.

Yeah, that is a problem, but they say in the Apple site that you can open it up by removing the back. Maybe it can get some expansions like RAM (much like the G4 iMac can)

The original iMacs had everything moulded together in a tin can so to speak. If any component had a problem, then it could be a major issue. Plus not much in the way of expansion. But iMacs have gradually been getting better in regards to expansion - at least for ram such as up to 1.5 GB. But if you wanted xtra hdd space you'd have to go for an external. Also no space for specialist cards.

Yeah, RAM or Airport. You have to choose b/w the two.
I heard though that some high-speed HDs can actually be faster than the built-in HD. Weird... But if that's the case (and provided that the HDs in question don't cost a billion bucks) then I wouldn't mind getting one.
