dude, paragraphs.
anyway, basically i figure your the type that buys all the coolest **** like cars with more than 300hp because it makes you feel special, your obviously not particularly technical due to multiple noob mistakes you've made, what you should do is just go and buy a 20" imac and maybe an external screen.
you know what he sounds like. he's like one of those guys that buys into all the marketing junk intel, apple, and everything else gives out, and then comes here to pretend that he knows what he is talking about. lalalallaa.
for the stuff you need to do, you should just go onto newegg and build yourself a computer. maybe read some review sites and learn something.

Well, you might remember (and always keep that in mind) that Apple is a hardware company.
What do you want to accomplish with the new computer ?
At the end of the road, fancy hardware without proper software will not take you anywhere.
Just my 0.02 cents

The biggest lesson that most noobs have to learn at some point is that the amount or quality of work you are able to produce is not dependent on the hardware you use, but on your ability to be productive with what you have. Give me a first revision Mac Mini with iMovie and give a complete novice a fully loaded Quad with FCP, give us a day to put a movie together, and I'll spank the pants off the guy with the Quad.
The OP's questions and remarks make it painfully obvious that he doesn't know what he's talking about, and has no need to be messing around with that kind of money when he is nowhere near the level of user who can justify making such a purchase.
And aside from that, I'm convinced that he has to be either twelve years old or a non-native English speaker - the posts are painful to read. Please, buy yourself an iMac. It's more than you're going to need, and I doubt you'll ever run into any of it's limitations.
I have a set of Titleist golf clubs, but that doesn't make me a good golfer. I could do just as well with a $200 set of starter irons and a 3-wood.
...and for the love of everything that is sacred - it's not a MAC, it's a Mac.

Status.
Games aside, most every machine bought is underused these days.
Minor video glitchiness aside, my well-aged (and it -is- well aged) g4 handles consumer level video (minor tv editing, dvd backups/authoring, etc) just fine. That isn't to say I won't replace it as soon as funds allow - I will.
But unless whatever machine you have now is at the breaking point (and if it is 3 years old or less, I doubt it), or you will actually be able to make more money with more processing power, just cool it.
Having the fastest computer on the block won't make your e-phallus any larger.
(and yes, if you are malinformed enough to be unable to make a purchase decision of this magnitude on your own, I challenge you to prove that you desire this machine for anything other than the stroking of your own ego)
Or, if none of this is the case and you just happen to be absolutely horrid at communicating; wait for the new mac pros, and comapre actual machines with your own eyes and fingers, then decide. (As I previously suggested)

This board is full of people who do not come here to discuss Macs, or even ask questions. They are here to discredit Apple and make statements. They are easy to discover.
First of all, they are not too bright, or they really would love Macs.
They start off asking a question about Macs, but in the end they have answered the question for everyone and Apple appears to lose.
They slant questions like, "Is Apple ever going to fix...."
The most clever promote an objective argument, pro/con between Apple and Brand X, but in the end a 'deciding piece of evidence', or the smoking gun is found and Apple loses in a close battle. The informed will easily discern the comparison was concocted and weighted for a predetermined outcome.
I wonder if it is the emergence of Apple as a major player in the PC market that has people resorting to these type of tactics?
With all these corrections going on, I also want to clarify to the original poster that it's Mac, not MAC.
"Mac" is short for Macintosh, it is not an abbreviation for anything, unless you're talking about Multiplexed Analogue Components, but that wouldn't make any sense in the context of this thread, now would it? So, there is no need to capitalize the A or the C, especially if you want to sound like you know what you're talking about.

Kentsfield will be out before Cloverton I have a feeling, and it should be pretty darn soon. I've got a few people on my forum testing Kentsfield's right now and they are a sweet piece of pwnage to say the least. I'd be more than happy to see one end up in a Mac Prorisc said:

Heh honestly... I know its annoying and always seems ignorant but-
It's actually hilarious to see the storm that follows any post with MAC. Its not really that important is it
That said - My name is Samuel, but people don;t call me SAM, they call me Sam. Ok whatever I should probably bring this on topic now so i don't get in trouble with the mods
Uhh... Buy a Mac?...

Yes, yes you will. The powers that be thankfully took action.

I personally believe it is important to at least get proper names right. I find it hard to take people seriously if they can't spell Bmw, MAC, or I-pod correctly. Especially when they're trying to sound serious. I'm not doing cartwheels of rage over here, just making a correction for future reference.
This also goes for people saying "Mac Oh Es Ex" in person.
