tired of my PC

I'm just getting sick and tired of my PC. It's an Athlon 2400+ CPU that is now somewhat dated. I just downloaded the stupendously huge (1.8gb) demo of Company of Heroes, which I've been trying out on my MacBook Pro (running Windows XP). It (the game) runs quite well on the MacBook but the demo barely moves on my Athlon with 256Mb graphics card (a GeForce FX 5200).

I suspect that replacing the video card may only make a marginal improvement in performance and I'm not about to go out and spend another $150 on a video card.

So I'm beginning to give serious thought to going all-Mac. I think a 20" iMac may be in my near future. It's the only sound choice.
