More bells and whistles in the form of media stuff I believe. A google search returns many hits

Apple G5 = around 2000 dollars, and in the same time you can buy wonderful configuration with one of those AMD64 processors for less than 700 Canadian dollars and that includes 17" TFT flat screen plus HP printer (in any Best Buy store around GTA - Greater Toronto Area)

how ironic vista sounds in Apple QuickTime ;D

Seriously Now that vista has been released to Manufacturing does anyone know the memory footprint of vista or how it will run Vs XP on the same hardware

Lots of hits here, http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=windows+vista+minimum+system+spec, this is just one, http://www.crysis-online.com/Information/System%20Requirements/ and another http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=31815 and one especially for you Kyle http://www.macworld.com/news/2006/05/18/vista/index.php ;D
