Yeah, when I eventually switch fully to the mac looks like that's what i'll have to do. It just annoys me a bit how, if you want a machine that's expandable, you have to go all the way up to a mac pro.

Hi Ashley you can solve your sound card problem by getting a usb or
firewire sound card. For normal audio playback you'll get a USB one
for round $100 if not less. You can always go bigger and better from
there, to the higher end cards with microphone pre amps and digital
input and output.

Hi list, a while back I heard something of being able to buy some kind
of extention card which allows you to plug a PCI card in to a mac book
pro or imac, I guess you plug it in to the firewire port and then it
is a lot like a drive bay where you slot in the card. Does anyone have
some more info on this and where can I get more info on it maybe a
website or something?

I believe you are thinking of the expresscard/34 slot on the MBP 17 inch.  I'm 
not sure what cards are available for this slot at this time.  I know that you 
could get pci expansion chassis connectivity this way.  I hope that the 
thunderbolt connector will eliminate the need for this.  The thunderbolt 
connector has two lanes of pci express 2.0.
