The only advantage I find with Mac's = when I am doing anytype of Video Editing. (1:1 rendering capability) PC's for the most part have matched or surpassed MAC's in every-single way, and the proprietary nature which they enjoyed with the G" series CPU's is now gone. To put it short, they are becoming more of a "statement" then an actaul working machine. AND to be honest, IF you are serious into any type of video editing, you will be using a professional VIDEO SWEET. (AN ACTAUL SYSTEM EQUIPPED WITH VRAM). Vram = whaty allows it to render in realtime on the fly etc.

-BUT to put this into perspective, 1mb of Sram is under a doller, while a single MB of Vram will run you over 94 $.

-Lastly, trends are changing, LOTR was completely done in Sony Vegas Pro....NOT Avid, NOT Premier, and NOT FCP. Industry standard setting programs are falling from favrotism, Cumbustion and After Effects are one of the large battles out their right now.
