PS: what "older" parts are those, exactly? Apple actually keeps pretty up-to-date with what hardware is out. In terms of graphics cards, they generally aren't heavy duty anyway, though. But in terms of the intel CPUs, they usually keep very current. The problem is, of course, that you can't OC it yourself...

i LOL'ed at, "Im a PC, and im kinda scared", and, "Im a PC, and i sell fish"

- i love these new ads, the seinfeld ones are priceless. this commercial is a good move by M$ if you ask me. seems as though they really made PC seem human, like the mac character.

Yes I'm a PC person and I agree with the message they are sending. Owning a Windows PC makes you no less of a human compared to mac users as many Mac Elitists would have people believe.

This commercial was perfect. I actually just saw it on TV and seeked out this thread to talk about it. The Seinfeld ads were really stupid in my opinion and didn't even have a message to the average viewer. This one, however was exactly the response to the Mac ads Microsoft needed. They should've just shown this ad from the start but whatever, I guess the Seinfeld ads were entertaining a bit at least.

On a side note, the guy who plays the PC in the Mac ads was on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart one time and he really is a "PC". Just cause he does the Mac commercials doesn't mean he actually favors a Mac. I'm sure he would've really done the Microsoft ad had they asked him. Assuming of course Mac doesn't have some kind of clause on his contract, which wouldn't surprise me in the least.
