Stick with the PC, espically if your a gamer. Firstly, there's a larger userbase for the PC and if you stick to well known hardware and you ever run into peoblems, chances are a thousand and one others have too, which means any problems are likely to be fixed quicker. Many Games are first released for Windows and if they are successful then a MAC port is made, meaning you could have to wait a while for new games on a MAC. Also, for some obsurd reason MAC hardware is on average about 25% more expansive that PC hardware. And no, I'm not comparing CUP speeds when I say this, I refering to the general RAM and Hard Disk prices. The general reason for MAC's being more stable and more bug-free is because there are fewer companies making MAC hardware. Which means the OS doesn't have to support 1001 different variations of X card or whatever. This also maens that the companies that do make MAC hardware don't have the same kind of competion that PC hardware makers do, so the price wars are never as severe. Furthermore, if your the kind of gamer that's big on playing game Mod's then I'd say stick with the PC. Many Mod's are OS release dependant and only get ported if they reach a rather popular state. That being said, MAC are good. Their fast and more and more compaines are supporting MAC's in the Hardware stakes these days. MAC's are slowly being seen as good gaming machines as they are fast and recently have quite good support for 3D Accelerator Hardware. They look darn cool but it will cost you extra, and it's not just for the good looks. But, if you have money to burn I say why the hell not! The only better thing you could do is give that money to me! heh, or spend it on some seriously insane hardware for your PC. Like an Athlon 1.4Ghz some nice fat DDR ram and a twin 21" monitor setup while your at it. Hell, may as well throw in a 9x12 Wacom and one of those Arcade at Home rigs for all your simulator games!
