Hang on Paul, you running win 98?
Ok so since switching to Intel boards Apple has come a long way, but as last year and the year before that, I will put my machine up against any Mac doing anything, see which machine does it quicker, on a larger monitor with a higher screen res, while playing UT 2004
Ok Mac heads, question for you, so I decide to breakdown and get a Mac, how easy is it going to be for me to throw 4 150 gig raptors in two raid 0 set ups into the thing, two video cards running in SLI and a couple of gigs of ram, I am being serious now.
Will Mac OS X have a breakdown over this sort of rig or can it handle it?

If you want cheap, buy a Dell. But for the same reason I prefer to fly in Premium rather than Economy, cheaper isn't always better.

Apple to Apple? (Ok bad pun) but depending on the current promo Dell is having, Macs normally come slightly cheaper for a Dell with the same features. Also with a Dell you must deal with being nickeled and dimed for every last thing on the machine. Want a letter G on the keyboard - $1.00....

Oh blast, I didn't even realise Mac could run PC software - what about their operating system though, I guess they don't use XP/2000/98 etc? Have had this discussion a lot quite recently, as yeah, the Macs do look nice, but our stuff is all PC, so I thought it would be starting from scratch - now it seems I'm wrong (yet again!) Only time I've used a Mac is at an airport, and it was fine.
As far as looks/cost go - well, my current equipment is Dell (desktop) and Compaq (lappy)- am happy with both, though admit a Mac does look sexier - but then again, I don't take a laptop with me on travels, too much of a pain in the butt, and not intersted in posing anyway.
Damn, damn, damn - all that said, when i bought my lappy a few months back, I would probably have plumped for a Mac, had I known all this about compatibility......... [:(!]

Edit to add: As HF says, Parallels Desktop is also a piece of software that lets you run Windows within OS X, so you don't even need to reboot to run your Windows applications.
