That'd be one very classy computer for $400. Not knowing enough about the particular iMacs you attempted an upgrade from Panther to Tiger on, I cannot comment there. However I have two macs approaching 7 years, I upgraded the RAM in both and they are both running tiger more than adequately.
The primary point I was making however is that there is a much higher turn around with PC's than there are with Macs, for numerous reasons. Your experience suggests otherwise for yourself, therefore I understand why you think this is untrue, as you clearly dont upgrade much, and you've had one bad experience with macs not upgrading nicely.
I know of dozens of mac users still running the older mac hardware and the latest apps.
