Just want some good info here..

Basically I had always heard that macs handle programs like photoshop and video editing better, but recently I have been hearing that this only applied 5+ years ago, before mac switched to different CPUs or something that made them essentially a PC in a pretty box which runs a mac OS. Is this true? Are macs basically PCs these days as far as hardware is concerned? I also have heard that you can now run OS X on a PC, so why would anyone buy expensive macs? (other than the 'trendy' factor)

Just curious, I dont know much about this stuff.
