re: Mac - I have one piece of critical software that has always required a PC with a serial port on it -- I am going to check and see if they have a Mac version of it
other issues are that my Dell XP system always worked pretty well - all this started with this new computer, its hardware, and Win 7 (and with MS Orifice 2003)
Apple makes you do things their way - until now Windows let me (with a bit more effort) do things my way, but Win 7 has forced me to do a lot of things in different ways (or not at all) and has been a tremendous hassle

Try and keep away from the windows default drivers when it comes to video cards. They are normally very dated as video drivers are frequently updated by the vendors.
You should be able to get a MAC if you want one. A USB serial port will work fine on it, and if the program you need only runs in Windows, well you can run Windows as well.
