There was a brief period when you could pre-order the home or professional editions with a substantial discount. For example, I pre-ordered the professional version from Amazon for just under £90; now it's £150 (although that's still a saving of ~ 30%).
I think you'll be lucky to find anyone selling at the original low prices now (as Ashley says below, they were for a limited number of copies only).

No, what you said is complete rubbish.
The processors (and therefore presumably the chipset) are the same as for a PC; even the Apple website directs you to Intel pages that detail the specifications of PC hardware.
The Nvidia and ATI products are also the same (although they may be clocked differently, typically lower, compared to their PC destined counterparts).

Apple have worked with Intel/Nvidia to make hardware that works with their software. PC hardware is made my loads of companies with slightly different ways of working so it's not wonder windows is a bit touchy
