Why do you need 32 GB?

I have 8 GB and Vista 64-bit now. I checked the usage of memory last days.

Vista 64-bit takes indeed 2 GB right from the start. This is heavy.
But 3d applications like ZBrush only take about 512 MB.
Even games like QuakeWars only take 512 MB.
Some modern games like Crysis take up to 2 GB (yes, even the 64-bit version).
A second OS in a virtual environment (XP in my case) takes "only" up to 2 GB.

Up to now I never exceeded 8 GB on Vista even with lots of these applications in memory. Most of the time I need "only" 3 GB.

i'd hardly buy a mac for gaming, but music and video editing.

and macOS is not windows, like all unixoid-systems, more RAM means better performance. imagine that. you could record your video files directly to ram, same with your audio files. hours of audio and HD video content, in fact. work on it simultaneously. switch to applications without a tiny delay, because it's all in the ram.

Most expensive apple in the world - 27 thousand dollars.

yes, sounds great for 17 (or even 27) thousand $, haha. You could buy Max, Maya and XSI at the same time for this money (or a new car).

I am happy that I spent only something about 1,000 Euro for my PC.

Rumor has it the mysterious golden apple is said to cost even more than 27 thousand, but apparently it's not for sale. :p

I'd not spend 27 thousand on that Mac though, not worth it,

Cheers

ha, and i spent like $600 building my pc, and recently sold my dual cards ($50) to upgrade to another $100 card making my grand total $650.... i'd never be able to put that kinda cash into my computer

it's not worth the half it costs, to be honest.

Who needs Mac if Vista is avalibale?

Vista Rules!
