To paraphrase "Son, I know Mac OS X and Linux is NO Mac OS X"
As a professional admin of both I've got to say this is by far the most laughably trollish argument in your entire rant. Linux is to OS X as Red Green's K-car is to a new Honda. Yep, they're both cars, and have 4 wheels and some doors, but that's about where the resemblance ends. (I will NOT offer my 81 civic in comparison, because it does, in fact have almost as much duct tape on it as Red's k-car...but it has an excuse, it's 23 years old :-)
I'll just bet you're one of those "WAAAAH, Apple's got to make OS X for x86!!! That way I can download a copy from a warez site and run it on my cheap PC!!!"
You will make your arguments far better if you refrain from Slashdot-speak; you sound like b1FF.
Calling people you wish to convince 'stupid' is a poor persuasion tactic, it rarely works.
Moreover, as you not so adroitly pointed out, it isn't APPLE's fault that better third party video cards don't exist for the Mac.
And some of your arguments simply make no damn sense whatsoever:
"you don't have the hardware to do it the speed is worthless even software. Hardware is better done then software driven like Macs are commonly."
Finally, you keep ranting about PCI cards...*what* do you need all those PCI slots for? I'm serious. I can't think of what you might be doing that needs all those slots. Most motherboards come with dual ATA busses, that's 4 drives right there, FW and USB are built-in, as are the other usual PC ports, what are you using in those magical 2 extra PCI slots?
