When it comes to raw processing power, the WinPC will always be better than the Mac at the same price.
But mac has always used less memory.

@PatrickJameson, I don't get it.

Linux is more controllable, if you know what you're doing. But you don't really want to mess anything up.
Windows has loads of extra features. It's a bit safer to use, but you don't have as much control.
Mac is like trying to shave with a bowling pin. By hey, look how smooth and symmetrical it is :O.
I find that offensive. Mac is more powerful than windows most of the time.
My laptop has yet to crash. Going on eight months since I bought it.Windows on a PC(for want of a better word) crashes almost daily.

I like how you laughed before you knew what it meant .
But I really don't care to have a preference. Just sharing the picture. I've used windows mostly, although I do eventually want to switch completely to some linux distro eventually.
I bought my MacBook 14 months ago and no crashes. My dad bought a Mac 12 years ago and it has never crashed. He bought a PC once and he has had it 4 years now and it has broken down to the point of not working 4 times.My laptop has yet to crash.

Mac can run windows.
Windows can't run OSX (Very well(AFAIK))

Windows on a Mac crashes very little. (For me, anyway.)

Sorry to disappoint you, but raw processing power isn't all about RAM. When I say raw processing power I'm referring to CPU and GPU. The current CPUs and GPUs in the market today (for PCs) are significantly more powerful than those in Macs. And yes, even the Mac Pro.

I've been a Mac fanboy before so I know how you think.
Running Windows is almost a requirement (except for anti-Microsoft people, of course), so Macs being able to run Windows is hardly surprising.
Legally, PCs cannot run Mac OS X, but that's only because Apple is being stingy with their OS. If they weren't so strict any PC would be able to legally run OS X. But, if I were to disregard the law, I can install Mac OS X on a PC. I just can't be bothered to.
Let me guess. You bought a cheap OEM WinPC and just left all the bloatware there. If you overload a computer with more than it can handle it will crash, regardless of what hardware or software it's using. I've been using WinPCs for many, many years and the only time they crash is when there's a hardware fault.
Hardware fault = nothing to do with Windows.
Nope. Firstly, I never said RAM was processing power, I was just pointing out that processing power isn't everything, either.
I'm aware PCs can run OSX, but nowhere near as well as macs can.
Every PC I've bought has been consistently crappy, and started crashing after about a month.
You claim it's my fault due to maintenence, but that's the thing. Windows PCs are very high maintenence compared to macs. There are so few good PCs around.
The main idea of mac is they do more with less. The numbers for PC may be higher, but macs require far less numbers.
By the way, I'm pretty sure Linux can actually surpass both anyway, but you have to be a tech-head to use it properly.

What are you talking about? If you were to take a Mac and PC with exactly the same hardware specs with OS X installed on both of them, you'd get equal performance. I mean, same hardware, same software, the only difference between them is that one has an Apple logo and the other doesn't.
Well I guess the majority of lecturers in Edinburgh University's informatics department must be total dumb asses thenmacs are for people that are too stupid to use a normal computer. the end
I'm not sure if anyone else has pointed this out yet, but any X11 linux application and many Gnome and KDE apps can be run on mac. That's access to tens of thousands of software packages for the grand old price of 0.Personally I think that PC's can do much more (more applications available), and you get more for the price you pay. So what do you all think?
Theoretically, mac will run on any intel x86 platform (same as windows), but the problem is drivers. Apple only write drivers for specific hardware which limits your choice, but if you really want to run unsupported hardware you may get lucky and find the necessary drivers somewhere. See:I hear that getting hardware repaired isn't too fun though.
What??Windows has loads of extra features. It's a bit safer to use, but you don't have as much control.
