I like Macs, sometime down the road I will pick up a used Intel based MAC.... So as not to turn this into a MAC-v-PC thing

Couple things, my PC boots in less than a minute, is rock solid, and will smoke 95% of MACs (though I only have a cheap <$100 graphics card). My new (work) Vista laptop, Dell E6500, is pretty nice and is the same way.

Which is better, MAC or PC? Really depends on what you are going to do with it. Which is better for you? Really depends if you are up for re-learning how to do things. The MAC is a bit simpler and can do more of somethings out of the box with Music and Movies. The PC has far more business support and gaming support than the MAC.

As someone that had 800 PCs and 800 or so MACs in an environment, the MACs used somewhat less support, did less overall work, and had just as many infuriating issues. It was a wash...

M$ did mess up with Vista, a lot of potential with some headaches too...

What is wrong with your computer? Or just time for a change?
