The best possible deal seems to be the Macbook,
GS is not willing to test it stating that is does not meet spec.
WHY?
This is hogwash. Yes only 64 MB vram but this is used very differently. In fact seem to have the capacity of 256 set up.
I took my daughter’s, Macbook loaded AC9 and connected it to my old 25” Apple cinema display. One thing fore sure It is much faster then may G5 with dual 2 GHZ with a 256 ATI card.
So why is that this is not acceptable to be TESTED by GS?
I hope when you say "PC", you mean and Intel or Intel-compatible processor-based machine (which includes Apple machines), in which case this is relevant information.

Thank you for the above information, I am currently running Intel based pc, and Windows Xp Pro and V10 ArchiCAD. Was initially thinking of building duel processor system ie. 2x Xeon or 2xOpteron CPU's. The cost however being a bit off putting. Perhaps new single processor Intel 2 Duo with ATI 256 or 512MB graphics card would be pretty good?
I do not have much experience with Mac's and switching all software would present a big cost as well.
Any thought about the new DDR2 RAM?
Matthew, I think Stepan is talking about 'building' his pc which is a bit cheaper then buying it lock-stock in one box especially from the manufacturer who is notoriously known as rather expensive (don't get me wrong I do not wish to start PC vs Mac argument)...
