Actually, with the Mac and PC hardware starting to blur together, especially 
since the newer Macs support IDE and USB and PCI, the cost of upgrading a Mac 
really isn't that much different than doing it to a PC. If you're using one of 
the older Macs (pre USB) then you're going to find the price difference in 
upgrading the machine substantially higher than a PC...
