This is wrong as all the newer macs are all intel based. I actually have a programme that let's me open pc apps on my mac anyway lol

one week in the studio I crashed a PC 8 times compared with a Mac twice - MAC FTW! lol

cant honestly remember what I was doing to make them crash, I just know I had a big deadline looming and that wasn't helping.

performance wise... it uses next to nothing compared to vista, im currently running windows 7 on my laptop, specs are as follows

80GB S-ATA2 hard drive
1.5gb DDR2 pc6700 iirc
1.87ghz intel dual core cpu

runs very stable even before i upgraded the ram. it runs 10x faster than vista, and as soon as i installed windows 7, everything was working, wifi, sound etc, where as the driverpacks for xp and vista were very limited on compatability.

if anyone is looking to upgrade, windows 7 is currently the best available from microsoft.

Me and my bro use an iMac G5 (Intel 3.06GHz Dual Core) 4GB RAM 640GB HDD. As with iMac's they look real nice, we have the 24'' version, so far hasnt crashed on us. We use it for audio production etc purely because you can't buy Logic Studio for windows pc anymore. It's ok for a day to day pc but for an all-rounder pc Windows is more user friendly. Sometimes I feel they could make using the Mac slightly more efficient. But still can't complain about the iMac just gives the studio a pro look lol
